Shania Twain on Officially Becoming a Barbie, After Having to Choose Between Guitars and Dolls as a Child
Shania Twain talks about why she was flattered to have a 'Man! I'm a Woman!' commemorative doll in her honor, and making her own Barbies as a child.
The singer joins Viola Davis, Helen Mirren, Kylie Minogue and several other renowned entertainers or activists who are getting their own signature dolls as part of Mattel’s celebration of International Woman’s Day March 8. (Nor one representing Mexican filmmaker Lila Avilés, Brazilian content creator Maira Gomez, Japanese model Nicole Fujita or German comedian and activist Enissa Amani, the other international celebrities who have had singular Barbies made in their honor.) The movie kind of plays with the idea that she’s feminist, but that people might have thought of her for a time as an antithesis of feminism, or just a girl’s aspirational thing.
