The nostalgia of Barbie and Ken
I loved Barbie’s growing up. I not only had the dolls, but also coveted accessories such as the Barbie Townhouse and the Barbie Airplane. Of course I had dreamboat Ken and many of Barbie’s friends like Skipper. In addition, I had a case full of Barbie’s clothes and even tried to make my own. Several years ago, when cleaning out the closet of my childhood bedroom, I came across my treasured Barbie case. It brought back a flood of memories.
I can’t wait to get together with some of my girlfriends, dress in pink and go to the Barbie movie. Is it silly? Maybe. Mindless? Perhaps. But not all movies are meant to change the world. Some are meant to give us a break from the mundane, from the negative news our space is flooded with, to bring us back to our childhood, to make us smile. I’m hoping this movie does that. I for one plan on busting out my hot pink lipstick and pink pumps. However, I'll leave the dolls at home.
In the meantime, we are having a little fun with AI.
