THE CANADIAN PRESS/HO - Mattel Inc.As a young girl, Shania Twain says she used to make her own dolls, modelled after Barbie.
“My Barbie play was always at my cousin's or at friend's houses, but at home I would make my own Barbies,” she says. “I would play Barbie with my own creations.”The country superstar, who is gearing up for a Las Vegas residency that begins in May, is one of eight women to receive a one-of-a-kind Barbie doll in their likeness for International Women's Day, and Twain feels like it's a bit of a full-circle moment.
“This Barbie is sort of a projection -- my own projection of myself,” she says. “This character on stage, it's all play. The costuming, the hair, everything, it's all part of the same play that starts when you're a child.” It's been a big year for Barbie. There was the blockbuster film, directed by Greta Gerwig, which is up for six Academy Awards -- including best picture and a best supporting actor nod to Canadian Ryan Gosling, who will also perform the Oscar-nominated song “I'm Just Ken” at the ceremony on Sunday.Other women receiving their own Barbie this year include actresses Viola Davis and Helen Mirren, and singer Kylie Minogue.
