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.
