“I always come to the annual holiday party because I love visiting all of my friends,” gushes Barbie, who joined the party at UCLA Mattel Children’s Hospital. “I come every year, and I always bring toys and smiles and hugs. I know everybody likes to have their spirits lifted. This year, I have my Dreamtopia Barbies, some of my fashion Barbies, and some of my career Barbies. Some people really enjoy my work and enjoy meeting me, so I like to come and put a smile on their face. Anything that brings imagination and creativity into kids’ lives is what makes me happy.”
