celebrating diversity & imagination

Barbie’s magical world has inspired generations of dreamers and storytellers, and I can’t wait to see the new Barbie movie. It reminds me of my own childhood, when I used to create endless stories with my dolls. I’m glad that Barbie now embraces the rich diversity of our society, and I hope this will encourage more self-confidence and kindness in the future.

As a child, my Barbie dolls were my companions in a realm of creativity and wonder. Without a sister and with cousins who were much older, I found solace and joy in those solitary moments of imaginative play. My dolls were vessels of adventure, friendship, and dreams as I crafted tales of fantasy and exploration.

Yet, I also remember how the dolls of that era portrayed a singular ideal of beauty – one shape, one size, with exaggerated features that were far from reflective of the real world. Barbie, with her big eyes, lips, perky figure, and blonde hair, instilled a subconscious notion that beauty conformed to a narrow mold. This, in turn, sparked insecurities and misconceptions about self-image that lingered into many of our generation's formative years.

Now, as the mother of an almost five-year-old daughter, I've witnessed the evolution of Barbie in a heartening way. We are both brimming with anticipation for the new Barbie movie, and together we've delved into the realm of imaginative play, just as I did decades ago. But what strikes me most is the representation and diversity that Barbie now embodies.

A recent visit to Toys r Us was an eye-opening experience. The array of Barbie dolls I saw reflected the beauty of diversity in our world. Curvy dolls, dolls with disabilities, dolls with different skin tones – it was a celebration of the reality that everyone is unique and beautiful in their own way. I was moved to tears as I realized the profound impact that these diverse dolls could have on my daughter and countless other young minds.

The transformation in Barbie's image signifies a pivotal shift in the values we aim to instill in our children. No longer are they confined to a narrow notion of beauty. Instead, they are exposed to rich differences that embrace every shade, every shape, and every ability. The creators of Barbie have finally demonstrated an understanding of the significance of representation in children's toys – a recognition that childhood should be a celebration of diversity and an opportunity to cultivate self-love. I don’t mean to suggest that toy manufacturers are solely responsible for shaping our children’s self-image, since we as parents have the duty to help them love themselves. However, when they see toys that reflect their identity and diversity in toy stores and movies, it adds something extra to what we’re already doing for them as parents.

My hope for my daughter's generation is that they grow up in a world where self-love and acceptance are second nature. That the dolls they play with, the movies they watch, and the stories they hear can all contribute to this understanding. The progress Barbie has made reflects a larger cultural shift toward embracing individuality and rejecting harmful stereotypes.

In raising my daughter in this new era of Barbie, I am filled with optimism. I hope that her journey will be marked by confidence, compassion, and the knowledge that beauty comes in many shapes and forms. This newfound representation our children see in their toys alone is a step toward dismantling the ideals of beauty that once plagued me and countless others.

(Below could be considered a theory, but a lot of it is just me gushing about a recurring theme I’m seeing in Welcome Home.)

What I love most about @partycoffin’s Welcome Home ARG is the idea that a piece of art you’ve made could get so much bigger than you can handle on a creative level that you end up losing control of it.

Obviously in the case of Welcome Home it does so literally by becoming sentient, but that’s what good horror is all about; A tiny worry being blown up to bombastic proportions.

And the fact that in many ways this has happened irl with the massive fandom that’s been created as a result? It’s insane to think about, but also pretty amazing!

I hope Clown gets the rest he needs.

I also hope they know that the fandom is honestly one of the most wholesome ones I’ve been a part of.

It really speaks volumes of the quality of a piece of art that while the hype is about a horror series, there are so many people jumping at the chance to willingly lend their own creative collaborations to the project, create their own works about the series in a sincere gesture of appreciation for the original work, and do necessary gatekeeping of the community when toxicity rears its ugly head.

Welcome Home may be about an idea running amok in the real world (COMEONBARBIELETSGOPARTY) but it does not lack heart!

Who else can’t wait to see #amyschumer play #Barbie?! She caught a lot of ridiculous flack from body shamers, sexists, etc after news of her casting broke which I still can’t understand. Seriously, who better to bring an iconic and also somewhat dated character to life as a modern feminist woman ready to take on the world?! Amy will be hilarious and do an amazing job, no question. #comeonbarbieletsgoparty 👠

The girls and I made balloon clothing for their dolls the other day. I was going to make this Stacy doll into a mermaid, but as I started to put it on her, it became clear that she had to be Tinkerbell. #tinkerbell #barbie #unschoolingfamily #unschooling #unschoolinglife #gowiththeflow #barbiecrafts #nosewbarbieclothes #comeonbarbieletsgoparty #crafty #craftiness #craftacular #stacydoll #easycrafts #funcrafts #createyourbliss #kidcrafts #creativity #creativemom #artistmom #artistmama #artistmomma #easydollclothing #creativelife #ridiculouslyfun #fairy #madeinpittsburgh https://www.instagram.com/p/B1Fd1irA03x/?igshid=1i73elnl078mt
