Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

In this new era of Barbie, no figure is left behind. Creations and scales of the newest dolls are more realistic than ever.
#TheDollEvolves is the latest trending hashtag Mattel released this past January of 2016. In the newest set of dolls there are over seven different skin tones, twenty-four different hairstyles, and multiple body shapes allowing girls to find a doll that speaks to their character and personal diversity.
Not only did Barbie change her image, but new ad campaigns have been released in the more recent months with a clear message to young girls that they can be anything. Images include careers such as an astronaut, firefighter, a pilot, and even a mermaid.
