Barbie To Be Celebrated with New Stamps

What:	In 1959, a doll introduced as "The Original Teenage Fashion Model" — Barbie — stepped into the marketplace and quickly became an icon and symbol of limitless possibilities. As the 1985 advertising jingle proclaimed, "We girls can do anything!" The Postal Service will honor that world of possibilities with 10 new stamps featuring Barbie dressed to portray 10 different careers.

	The first-day-of-issue interactive event for the Barbie commemorative stamps is free and open to the public. News of the stamps is being shared with the hashtag #BarbieStamps.

When:	July 11, 10 a.m. Central

Where:	2026 National Barbie Doll Collectors Convention
	Hilton Austin
	500 E. Fourth St.
	Austin, TX 78701

RSVP:	Attendees are encouraged to RSVP at usps.com/barbiestamps.

Background:	Created by Mattel Inc., a global play and family entertainment company, Barbie is the best-selling doll of all time and a symbol of limitless possibilities for generations of children.

	The new Barbie stamps will be issued in panes of 20. As Forever stamps, they will always be equal in value to the current First-Class Mail 1-ounce price.
