I’m officially intrigued enough to want to see Barbie... even if I skip the pink outfit. Did you read Anne Helen Petersen’s piece on Barbenheimer, and “boy movies” vs “girl movies”? Trying to get my husband to come see Barbie with me to fight the #patriarchy, if we can find time with this very full cup of summer... 😅
I didn’t read it, but I will look it up! My husband went with us (did not wear pink unfortunately 😂) and loved it. I loved that I had to explain certain parts to him bc it shows that these stories still need to be told so badly!!
Ok, but which Polly Pockets? Did you have the original choking hazard ones? I wish my mom had kept mine but they’re sadly gone.
I’ve not felt a strong pull to see the Barbie, maybe because I didn’t care much for them. (All of my Barbies were Weird Barbie.) But now I’m intrigued… And I love your summation of purity culture in the footnotes.
I honestly didn’t have many but I do remember mine had a tiny pool and I coveted my friends huge collection 😂
If I didn’t have 3 kids I wouldn’t probably have been as interested either - but it is very very well done. Expect an epic musical number in the middle with many dancing Kens. Lol.
LPS!! I didn’t get in to them like I did Polly Pockets, but gimme all the tiny things. Still haven’t seen Barbie. My 14 year old son wants to go, so here’s hoping.

Also, I had to thrift our outfits because we own ZERO pink items 😂
I love it 😂 Will have to update you if I end up seeing it!

"she is side-eyeing that magical cup" - she sure is, lol. Loving your nails and the silence that "no" can gift you!
Going with Mike to see Barbie tonight… cuz you’re my girl and if you love it I’m sure I will too 😂
I can’t wait to hear what you both think!! 🩷

I think you will love it! And it will give you so many good conversation starters with your teenager 🩷🩷
