Beard Trim: Defining Your Facial Hair

A well-groomed beard is a statement, and the Barber Shop Los Angeles knows exactly how to help men maintain and enhance their facial hair. Whether you're sporting a full beard, a goatee, or a neatly trimmed stubble, the beard trim is an essential grooming service for many men.

At a Barber Shop Los Angeles, the beard trim is executed with precision. Barbers are equipped with the right tools to trim, shape, and style your beard to complement your face shape and desired look. They take into account the thickness, length, and shape of your beard to ensure it looks neat, defined, and flattering. Regular beard trims not only keep your facial hair looking sharp but also promote healthier growth by preventing split ends and encouraging proper maintenance.

A Beard Trim is often paired with other services like a haircut service or a scalp massage to give you the complete grooming experience. With the right attention to detail, your beard can be a defining feature that enhances your overall style.

Haircut Service: Classic and Modern Styles

The heart of any Barber Shop Los Angeles is its haircut service. From classic cuts to trendy styles, a haircut service in Los Angeles is more than just a quick trim—it’s an opportunity to revamp your look with the skill and precision of a professional barber.

One of the most popular services in a Barber Shop Los Angeles is the fade, a style that blends short sides with a longer top for a smooth transition. Fades come in various styles—high, low, and mid fade—and are customizable to suit your preferences. The ability to choose from different fade types makes this haircut service versatile, allowing for both clean, professional looks and more casual, edgy styles.

This classic cut has been revamped with modern twists, making it a favorite for men seeking a bold yet sophisticated look. The Barber Shop Los Angeles excels at these classic styles while keeping them fresh and in tune with contemporary trends.

Buzz Cut: Simplicity with Style

For many men, the buzz cut is the go-to style. It’s simple, sleek, and easy to maintain, making it a popular choice for men with busy lifestyles. A buzz cut involves trimming the hair to an even, short length using clippers, providing a clean and no-fuss look.

A Barber Shop Los Angeles takes the buzz cut to the next level by ensuring it’s done with precision. The key to a great buzz cut is evenness, and professional barbers are trained to create a uniform length all around the head, with clean lines and sharp edges. For those looking for a more customized buzz cut, barbers can tailor the length to suit your face shape and personal style.

The buzz cut is also versatile in that it can be combined with other elements, such as a fade or line design, to make it more distinctive. It’s a low-maintenance yet stylish option that can work for many men, from professionals to athletes.

hello 911blr here's another little snippet of my fake dating au. it's going so slowly. but at least it's going!

Buck catches his attention pretty much right away − Tommy’s gaze is immediately drawn to his ridiculously plump, pink mouth, before taking in the rest of the picture. He’s frowning at the camera, almost like seeing his own reflection mirrored on his phone’s screen through the front-facing lens is offending him, somehow, and why would this guy choose that picture to be front-and-centre on his dating profile? Still, his messy, curly hair, and the scruff on his jawline, and − the ridiculous lips − are hard to resist. Tommy taps to check out the rest of his pictures. In one, he’s clean-shaven, wearing a white hoodie, smiling so big and bright, his gaze somewhere behind the camera, probably fixed on whoever was taking the picture; then there’s another frowny selfie right after that, taken inside a car, with a seatbelt across his chest and a black Labrador resting his little head on the guy’s shoulder, and okay, that’s fucking adorable. Tommy can’t help but smile − but that only lasts until he reads the guy’s bio.

hello grindr i’m not gay (but i’m an ally!) anyway i need a fake boyfriend to be my date to my parents’ stupid anniversary party because they told me not to bring “another new girlfriend” so i’m just trying to comply with their request :-)  in return you will get an all-you-can-eat-buffet and open bar. or anything else you want (short of sexual favours)

Yeah, that tracks. These wholesome-looking guys always come with at least one red flag. And this is a fucking massive one. 

Tommy bites down on his lower lip and tells himself he’s not actually thinking about messaging, but he knows he’s lying to himself. He tries to weigh the pros and cons for all of five minutes before he thinks, fuck it, and decides to send a message. What’s the worst that could happen? With a deep exhale, Tommy taps on the little message button and types out the only logical opener he can think of.

tommy: if you can prove you’re not a catfish, i’m more than happy to be your fake date

buck: how do i prove i’m not a catfish? buck: you can look me up on instagram. i’m buckley92

tommy: hah, nah, that won’t do. it’s gonna have to be a dickpic i’m afraid. with today’s newspaper of your choice.

buck: who the fuck is still buying newspapers buck: fine. give me half an hour

Tommy puts his phone aside with the biggest grin on his face. If nothing else, it’s been entertaining, at least so far. He still doubts this guy is real, or his request for a fake boyfriend isn’t just a thinly veiled excuse for a curious-but-still-firmly-heterosexual guy to go venturing in the most notorious dating app for queer men − which is entirely unnecessary. 

He gets to his feet and goes about cleaning up the mess in the kitchen he’s been successfully ignoring for the last 24 hours, and puts a load of laundry on, knowing he’s running out of clean underwear, and he’s settled back on his comfy couch, ready to dive back into Small Town Horror when his phone pings with a new notification, and Tommy grins when he sees it’s another message from Buck.

It’s a selfie of the same man from the profile pictures, and instantly Tommy exhales with relief. He looks a little different in this picture; younger, somehow, and it might have something to do with the haircut he’s currently sporting, and the lack of product in his dark blonde hair, letting the curls loose. Tommy wants to run a hand through his hair, but he files that away into a far away corner of his mind, as his gaze drops to the dramatically pouty expression on Buck’s face. He’s holding a copy of Los Angeles Times, which has the words “TOMMY FROM GRINDR MADE ME DO THIS” written across the front page in thick black marker. There’s a message sent right after the selfie that reads “will this do or… do you still need the dick pic?”

anyways. it's cloudy in los angeles when dean and sam come to town. 2007. it's cold and rainy and there's a ghost haunting the set of a horror movie. maybe more than one ghost! and dean fucks tara benchley in her trailer. and he really wants to fuck martin flagg, the movie's writer. and he's got an itch in his system he needs to scratch. so when sam holes up at the motel that night, dean goes to a bar. picks a badge and ladder joint. walks in. knows this is the right spot. big men sitting solo at the bar, processing hard days at work. and dean's got his long eyelashes and wide eyes and freckles dotted across his nose. he's got a hickey on his neck. he pulls up next to a particularly big man. with a nice sharp nose and a clean haircut. and he says "hi". and the guy shakes his hand, introduces himself as tommy. he's kinda funny, and he keeps looking into dean's eyes and then looking down at his whiskey like he's got to control himself, and yeah. this is the one. so dean puts a ten down on the counter, covers both their drinks, and he winks at tommy and heads out of the bar. and like. he knows to give the guy a second, so he stands in the alley and lights up a cigarette and blows smoke into the sky above hollywood. thinks hollywood. bright lights, and belonging. where he could perform and someone would tell him "good job" for it. and then, like clockwork, tommy slips around the corner. stands next to dean, presses his shoulder against his. says "y'know, i'm a firefighter. i think i'm meant to put those things out." and he grabs the cigarette right from between dean's lips and presses it out into the wet pavement with the toe of his boot. and then he looks up again, takes a breath. dean's all dimples and swagger, he's got him--hook, line, n sinker. but he’s gonna make tommy make the first move because he's big and he ought to know what he wants. dean plays it up, bites his lip, says “hey, i was smokin’ that.” and tommy huffs a laugh, mumbles something like “fuck it” under his breath, and then he’s pushing dean back into the brick of the wall and kissing him. and he’s got dean’s head cradled between both his hands and dean melts. like damn, this forest fire of a man is fucking kissing him. movie-magic-old-school-hollywood-golden-age-best-picture style. and dean pulls back a bit, when it seems like tommy’ll never come up for air. says “what’s the rush, big guy?” and when tommy breathes "sorry. sorry–just. i've needed that.” dean says “been a while?” 

tommy closes his eyes and nods, “forever.”

The former SR-71 pilot who saved the lives of members of Aerosmith and Charley Pride bands flying as their own private pilot

The SR-71 driver who became private pilot for Aerosmith, Cher and Gregg Allman and country western superstar Charley Pride

Col Robert “Grey” Sowers

SR-71B crash

From SR-71 driver to private pilot for Aerosmith

From SR-71, to Aerosmith private pilot, to Saving Charley Pride’s life

Col Robert “Grey” Sowers

Col Robert “Grey” Sowers was the first pilot selected to fly the SR-71 Blackbird. He also became the first instructor pilot. Grey’s first Reconnaissance Systems Officer (RSO) was Richard “Butch” Sheffield, my father. They were both nicknamed after their hair. Grey’s nickname name was because his hair turned grey at an early age. Butch’s Nickname was from his butch haircut. Sheffield in fact had to stop his hair from becoming so messy from being in a helmet for hours after he had been told that he needed to look more presentable during the required post-flight briefing.

CLICK HERE to see The Aviation Geek Club contributor Linda Sheffield’s T-shirt designs! Linda has a personal relationship with the SR-71 because her father Butch Sheffield flew the Blackbird from test flight in 1965 until 1973. Butch’s Granddaughter’s Lisa Burroughs and Susan Miller are graphic designers. They designed most of the merchandise that is for sale on Threadless. A percentage of the profits go to Flight Test Museum at Edwards Air Force Base. This nonprofit charity is personal to the Sheffield family because they are raising money to house SR-71, #955. This was the first Blackbird that Butch Sheffield flew on Oct. 4, 1965.

According to the website SR-71 Blackbirds that lists all Personnel Who Flew the Blackbirds, Sowers is listed as number 115 and Sheffield is numbered 116. They were both flying the B-58 at Carswell AFB, TX, when they were interviewed for the SR-71 program in 1964. At Carswell Grey was awarded the prestigious Bendix Trophy plus the Mackay Trophy. This trophy is awarded for the most meritorious flight of the year. These records were from Los Angeles to New York (2:00:58 seconds) and return (2:15:50 seconds).

SR-71B crash

On Jan. 11, 1968 while flying SR-71B #957 at 80,000 feet and over 2,000 mph, a total system failure occurred which resulted in a double engine failure due to fuel starvation. Grey successfully maneuvered the plane to an isolated area near Beale AFB, Ca, where it crashed after he and the student pilot (David Fruehauf) safely ejected.

Col Charles “Pete” Collins Sr was on the base at the time of the crash and led the rescue of the two men that were aboard the SR-71.

Grey and Butch

But there’s more to this story.

Fruehauf had a heated argument with Sowers as the doomed SR-71B was dropping rapidly to the ground: the argument was about who should eject first! Fruehauf the student consistent, that Sowers should because he had the backseat!

Sowers was the mission commander and the more senior officer, and he declared that Dave exited the plane first they continued to argue until Fruehauf finally complied and ejected just in time. At 3,000 feet and some 8 miles from Beale AFB, Fruehauf complied with Sowers’ order and ejected. An instant later, Sowers followed his student into the sky via his Lockheed SR-1 ejection seat. He landed on the ground, removed his helmet and survival kit and found Sowers already on the ground, smoking a cigarette.

From SR-71 driver to private pilot for Aerosmith

SR-71 driver Sowers became private pilot for Aerosmith rock band

After his Air Force retirement, Sowers became a Commercial pilot.

In a telephone interview with my childhood friend Pete Collins Jr, he told me Gray’s first job after retirement was becoming a private pilot for Rock band Aerosmith.

Gray was a pilot who didn’t like to take chances with people’s lives so when Aerosmith demanded that he landed their plane in horrible weather conditions in New York, he refused to do so making Aerosmith members was mad!

That job didn’t work out.

Charley Pride

So, he flew for singer Cher and husband Gregg Allman. His next job was flying for a country western superstar, Charley Pride.

Grey saved Charley Pride and his traveling band’s lives while flying them on tour.

In 1980 While flying Pride and his band in a Fairchild F-27 [a version of the Fokker F27 Friendship twin-engined, turboprop, passenger aircraft manufactured under license by Fairchild Hiller in the US] a midair collision occurred and Grey Sowers had to land the aircraft with an engine out and after experiencing a flight control failure.

From SR-71, to Aerosmith private pilot, to Saving Charley Pride’s life

“Country singer Charley Pride and his traveling band narrowly escaped death when a small Cessna clipped their aircraft and crashed, killing two people, (the 19-year-old pilot of the plane that hit them was one of the deaths) authorities said. “It scared the hell out of us,” said Bobbi Smith, Pride’s road manager and a passenger on the plane. Pride and members of his entourage were uninjured, in their Fairchild 27, piloted by Bob Sowers.”

So, when Grey wanted to retire and spend more time with his wife Susie, Charley told him to bring her with him on tour: he wanted to keep Grey!

Pete Jr told me that he was thrilled to be invited along with his family to a Charley Pride country western concert. His father SR-71 Pilot Charles “Pete” Collins Sr had been taught how to fly by Gray at the Air Force pilot school in Waco, Texas. They remained close friends for the rest of their lives. Gray passed away on Dec 1 2018 at the age of 92.

How did Elvis took care of his awesome hair? 🚿🍃

Plus, a quick overview on one of the King's hairdressers and Memphis Mafia man, Larry Geller: How somewhat he was the friend Elvis needed and how Elvis' over-controlling inner circle banned Geller from their surroundings for a while.

I was actually looking if I could find Elvis' haircut name - precisely the type of haircut he had on the '68 Comeback Special and "Charro!" (1968), since I'm a girl and I have zero idea about the names for male haircuts but I just love that haircut he had so much I wanted to talk about it... anyway. But I found an article about Elvis' hair care routine and that sounds very interesting to me, so it might be something you wanna know too.

This is told by Larry Geller, so this means this was Elvis' hair routine starting from mid 60's on, precisely from 1964 to 1967, and possibly also from late 1972 to 1977 *, periods in which Larry was responsible for taking care of the King's hair.

Geller, who will be launching his own line of organic hair products later this year, tested out some of his first custom mixes on Elvis. “I used to go to the health food store and get a benign base shampoo and get some vitamin capsules and pour 99 percent pure aloe vera and other herbs into it, and shake it up,” Geller tells Yahoo Beauty. “That’s what I used on Elvis’ hair. He said to me, right from the get-go, ‘You can do whatever you want with my hair, but one thing — make sure I keep it!’” Source: Yahoo Beauty: Elvis Presley’s Hairstylist Spills the King’s Secrets by Lilit Marcus. The article was shared on a Graceland's website on January 28, 2014.

Elvis, you're the best, man. LOL. Just that comment is worth this entire post. It made me laugh. But the article goes on.

Then there was the daily routine. “I shampooed his hair regularly, usually every day. I would massage his scalp for a few minutes, then brush his hair at least 50 or 60 strokes. I was focused on long-term health of his hair, which was so important,” Geller explains. He also used products like vitamin E and jojoba oil to style Elvis’ hair and replace conditioner. Hairspray was used to set it, with Geller alternating multiple brands so that none of them would dry out Elvis’ coif too much. As for its color, Geller dyed Elvis’ hair every two to three weeks with a L’Oreal formula. What did the two men discuss during all that grooming? Religion, philosophy, books, life, and anything else you can think of. “Elvis had everything,” says Geller. “He was an extraordinary human being. He had the greatest eyes, the greatest voice, fans galore. He also had great hair.”

Elvis in "Frankie and Johnny" and "Spinout", both 1966 movies.

Larry Geller styled Elvis’ hair for: "Roustabout" (1964), Girl Happy (1965), Tickle Me (1965), Harum Scarum (1965), Frankie and Johnny (1966), Paradise, Hawaiian Style (1966), Spinout (1966), Easy Come, Easy Go (1967), Double Trouble (1967), and Clambake (1967). Geller prepared Elvis’ hair for the last time for his funeral in August, 1977.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Elvis' hair must have been so good smelling and soft. Washed every day, organic products to make it smooth and shiny as it was. 🫠🥹

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, if you want to understand why there's a pause in Larry's association with Elvis, here it is:

LARRY GELLER QUITS WORKING FOR ELVIS IN 1967: INDIRECTLY CAUSED BY ELVIS' HEAD INJURY POSTPONING THE FILMING FOR 'CLAMBAKE'.

On March 9, 1967, Elvis was staying in him home in Bel Air, Los Angeles, and one incident (Elvis tripped over a TV cord in his bathroom and banged his head against a porcelain bathtub) caused the beginning of the production for the movie "Clambake", for which he was preparing to, to be postponed. Colonel Parker was fuming when he heard about the need for Elvis to take a couple of weeks of resting to recover from the mild concussion he had. It was a critical moment in Elvis' life. By the time the filming begun, Elvis even put up some weight from his normal 170 lb (77 kg) to 200 lb (91 kg) — I said it before, whenever this happened to Elvis' body it was because he was extremely distressed. He was an emotional eater.

Getting back to the accident, Parker even thought Elvis did it on purpose not to fulfill his Hollywood commitment since Presley clearly was not happy about his movies anymore, something Parker somehow blamed it on Elvis' spiritual quest. He pulled some strings to manipulate Elvis to remove Larry Geller from his inner circle by saying to him that all that spiritual thing was getting too much into his head, distracting him from his business obligations. If not enough Parker said to Presley that Larry Geller was brainwashing him because of some personal agenda he must have had in his mind — it's mentioned by someone, somewhere (i'm sorry, I'm not gonna remember where I've read it now) that Geller was planning on using Elvis' money to open a religious study center or something like that).

Basically, Parker thought Larry was a threat because if Elvis decided in throwing his career away, like some say he was by becoming a preacher, Parker would lose his most profitable and only client. Consequently all the religion and spiritual "shit" (as they called) that Larry Geller had put inside the King's head (as they thought), presenting him with many books and having deep conversations for hours with Elvis about several religious and spiritual subjects but not exclusively that, they also talked about meditation and self improvement as a human beings, astrology and so on, all of that was threatening Parker's plans over Elvis.

But Parker didn't make it on his own. Even Priscilla says in her memoir book that Elvis was obsessively reading non-stop and wanting to share his learning with everybody else, but his friends and herself didn't care about none of this self-improvement and religious talk. His inner circle even looked at Presley's spiritual quest as somewhat annoying, including Priscilla. Their thoughts about Larry Geller were something like "Larry changed his mind. Elvis is not spending time with us as he used to." Ugh!

Nobody actually told Larry to leave, tho, and Elvis wouldn't do such thing if he didn't have a good reason to - until this point Larry was a confidant to him, one of the only people he could talk about life and wonder what was God's plan for him, his true life mission, something Elvis would never cease trying to understand. However, Elvis' inner circle and Colonel Parker begun making Geller feel uncomfortable, unwelcome among the group, while they took Elvis' attention back to them, practically forcing Geller to decide to finally leave and go away for good, and he did it. But it was not something definite.

Many things happened in Elvis' life since Larry Geller and him went different ways but by August 1972, tho, Geller got back in contact in Elvis when he attended one of Presley's concerts in Las Vegas, and from then on Larry begins working for Elvis again, till the end of the King's life in 1977.

Painted shortly after the inception of the U.S. government's WPA program, East 5th (Street) is a time capsule of life in New York during this time period after the Great Depression. Men are lounging in a rundown hotel lobby as a man is getting a shave and haircut in the local barber shop next door. This painting shows off the extraordinary talents of Phil Paradise in those early years after training at Chouinard art school in Los Angeles. He travelled to the East Coast in the 1930s, painting in various locales and selling paintings through galleries in New York.

Some LGBTQ people race to claim rights

President-elect plans to roll back many recent transgender advances

LOS ANGELES – In the week after Donald Trump won the U.S. presidential election, Isla Lima submitted paperwork to change her gender from male to female in official documents, as some LGBTQ people worry their rights could be cut back.

Trump, who won the Nov. 5, 2024 vote and will be inaugurated on Monday, has stated his intention to rescind some LGBTQ rights during his second term in office.

In December, Trump said he will sign an executive order to end “child sexual mutilation,” an apparent reference to gender-affirming care, and “get transgender out of the military and out of our elementary schools and middle schools and high schools.”

Trump wants the law to recognize a person’s gender only at birth, as male or female.

As for transgender athletes, he has told supporters that he will “keep men out of women’s sports.”

While the Biden administration advanced or protected LGBTQ rights at the federal level, several Republican-run states have curtailed access to genderaffirming care.

Many transgender people say their gender dysphoria began at an early age.

The sense of discrepancy between their gender identity and assigned sex at birth can be so intense that it leads to depression, anxiety and for some, suicide.

Following Trump’s win, Lima, 26, a transgender woman in Los Angeles, decided to speed up submitting court papers to allow her to formally change her gender on documents.

“Even though it might be safe in California, going across state lines, I don’t know the safety net for that. I definitely feel safer knowing that I’m going to have my ID … and it will say my chosen name and gender marker,” she said.

“After Trump, it was like, OK, this is super urgent.”

As polls pointed to a close election, 76% of transgender and non-binary people took, or planned to take, at least one protective measure, according to the findings of a survey of over 1,500 people published in August by FOLX, a health and wellness platform that has served over 50,000 LGBTQIA+ people.

Respondents cited measures such as speeding up gender-affirming care, which can include medical, surgical and mental health services; stockpiling medication; updating gender markers on documents; and bringing forward marriage plans.

Lima said she interns at ProjectQ, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit, because she feels aligned with its goals of providing resources to queer youth, such as a safe space and haircuts.

ProjectQ founder and Executive Director Madin Lopez, 38, in an interview, cited LGBTQ friends who were speeding up formal adoption of children they had already been raising.

In 2023, ProjectQ Associate Director Manny Muñoz, who identifies as nonbinary, changed their gender marker from male to X.

President Joe Biden’s administration introduced that option on a federal level.

That change was “really, really exciting because it was a long-time coming,” Muñoz, 36, said. “And there’s also just, you know, fear that it gets taken away, right?”

However, Lopez, who is also non-binary, has not legally changed their gender. “I’m not at a place yet where I’ve de-cided whether I’m going to make that legal change or not. I think that a lot of it has to do with what will come next.”

Culture wars

Transgender and non-binary rights are a major flashpoint in U.S. culture wars.

On Tuesday, the House of Representatives passed a bill to essentially ban transgender girls and women from competing in school sports by withholding federal funds from schools that do not comply.

“Republicans have promised to protect women’s sports, and under President Trump’s leadership, we will fulfill this promise,” the bill’s author, Representative Greg Steube, has said.

Major pediatric, endocrinology and mental health associations endorse gender-affirming care such as puberty blockers and hormone therapy when appropriate, some calling it life-saving for many transgender youths.

However, some conservatives characterize the treatments as dangerous and experimental, calling certain measures chemical castration or child abuse.

Trump spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said in a statement that Trump campaigned on promises to end discussions about gender and sex in classrooms and stop taxpayer-funded transgender surgeries for inmates in federal prisons.

Butch lesbian trailblazer Nancy Valverde, dies at 92

New Post has been published on https://qnews.com.au/butch-lesbian-trailblazer-nancy-valverde-dies-at-92/

Butch lesbian trailblazer Nancy Valverde, dies at 92

Chicana lesbian, activist and gender-nonconformist Nancy Valverde died at her Los Angeles home on Monday. She was 92.

In the 1950s, Valverde was was routinely arrested for violating L.A.’s ‘masquerading’ laws.

These laws were commonly used by law enforcement to to target drag queens, transgender people and butch lesbians.

She was detained multiple times at Lincoln Heights jail in a section known as the Daddy Tank.

The Daddy Tank was a private wing where transgender men and butch lesbians were held

However, at the age of 17 she was credited with helping overturn masquerading laws.

During one stint in jail,  Valverde enlisted the help of a clerk at the L.A. County Law Library to search for rulings that showed wearing men’s clothing was a crime.

After proving that it was legally not a crime, Valverde was never arrested again.

Valverde went on to start her own Barber shop and lived with the same woman for 25 years, raising four children together.

Los Angeles LGBT Centre honours Nancy Valverde

“Valverde, an advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, was celebrated as a beacon of light and a relentless advocate for equality and justice,” the Los Angeles LGBT Center said in a statement.

“Valverde’s journey as an activist began at the age of 17 when she bravely confronted the systems of prejudice in Los Angeles by unapologetically embracing her authentic identity. A fixture in L.A.’s queer community since the 1950s, she faced routine harassment and arrest by police for wearing men’s clothing in public. Arrested dozens of times under the city ordinance of “masquerading,” which targeted individuals for clothing associated with a different gender, Valverde remained steadfast in her refusal to conform.”

“They wanted me to be someone else,” she recounted in the PBS documentary L.A.: A Queer History.

“I could not be someone else. This is me.”

“Despite the challenges, Valverde became a respected figure in Los Angeles. She built connections within her local community and provided haircuts at her barbershop. Affectionately known as “Nancy from East Side Clover,” she left an indelible mark on the city.”

“Valverde’s legacy continued as she joined the Los Angeles LGBT Center’s Senior Services department upon moving to Triangle Square, the nation’s first LGBTQ+-friendly affordable housing for older adults.

“Last year, the city honored her with the designation of “Cooper Do-nuts/Nancy Valverde Square” at the intersection of 2nd St. and Main St. in downtown Los Angeles.

“Cooper Do-nuts, a safe space for LGBTQ+ individuals in the 1950s, was the site of one of the earliest LGBTQ+ uprisings in the country.”

The Barbie Movie

Teen Movie Title: The Barbie Movie Writer: Greta Gerway and Noach Baumbach Gerwig, G., & Baumbach, N. (Writers). (2023). The Barbie Movie. Warner Bros., Heyday Films, LuckyChap Entertainment, NBGG Pictures, Mattel Film

Rating: 5 stars The Barbie Movie by Greta Gerway and Noach Baumbach starts off in Barbie Land, where life is perfect for the Barbies. However, a glitch causes Stereotypical Barbie (Margo Robbie) to question her existence and mortality. Barbie notices something is off when things become imperfect, such as a cold shower, spoiled milk, and, even worse, flat feet. To understand what is going on, Barbie talks to weird Barbie, a Barbie with a funny haircut, face drawings, and always doing the splits because it got played with too hard. She learns from this that she must embark on a journey to the real world, accompanied unexpectedly by Beach Ken (Ryan Gosling), who constantly seeks Barbie's acceptance.

Barbie and Ken find themselves in Los Angeles, where Barbies starts to discover the flaws of the human world. For example, women are not in charge of things like back home, and she can sense but not understand why the comments make her feel uncomfortable. Barbie thought that she fixed sexism and made things better for women until she encountered Sasha, who let her know what the world is like. Meanwhile, Ken is getting to experience male privilege for the first time, and he sees that men here occupy many positions of power and are respected. Mattel then discovers Barbie is out in the real world and tries to get her back so they do not have another Skipper situation. After Mattel fails to capture Barbie Sasha's mother Gloria (America Ferrera) saves her and they head back to Barbie Land where we find out it was Gloria who was the source of Barbie's existential crisis. When they return to Barbieland, they discover Ken has overturned the matriarchal system and brainwashed the Barbies into being weak-minded and willing to follow anything the Kens want. A battle of ideologies comes to a head. Barbie and her group of friends devise a plan to unite the dolls by reminding them how impossible it is to be a woman; once they wake all the Barbies up, they plan to dismantle the regime by turning the Kens against each other to allow the restoration of Barbie land. In the end Barbies tells Ken that he needs to find out who he is without Barbie, the Barbies also make sure that the Kens have some part in the new system, but Barbie, is still uncertain of her purpose, encounters the spirit of Ruth Handler, the creator. Ruth encourages Barbie to embrace the ever-evolving journey of self-discovery. Barbie decides to venture into the real world and adopts the name Barbara Handler, which is Ruth’s daughter’s name, symbolizing a newfound sense of identity.

This movie has been controversial because some men feel as if it is bashing the male exitance by saying boys are dumb, but in fact, this movie is for men and women, but you have to be willing to listen and accept the message. The lessons that the movie tries to point out are that women do not need to fulfill the role of the “ideal” woman, that things will be complex, and that there will be heartache. As women, it's ok to have imperfections. We do not have to confirm the ideas that society puts on us. For men, it is essential to understand that you do not need to fit into this idea of hyper-masculinity. It’s okay to have emotions and really feel them. Don’t let what you wear or your job, or who you date be your identity. Like Ken’s sweatshirt said in the end, know that you are “Kenough.” There are some adult jokes in here, so watching with young children should be at the parent's discretion.
