#barbie pays a tribute

[barbie-gurls-world]

Yo, Yo, Yo, yesterday was your 50th birth anniversary, and I was mostly stuck in my head in finding ways to celebrate your day. I wanted to mix up a G&T but didn't coz I decided Serenitea seemed a better choice to celebrate. I would've got Serenitea because it brought you comforting meals within the days you received treatment, but decided not to because milk tea wouldn't mix well with alcohol, and because I wanted to find a meal with more veggies. I ended up having Happilee Korean food for the veggies & decided to celebrate (more like “spend”) on Sunday instead.

Everyone’s posted their own tributes for you and I only posted a ‘happy birthday’ message for you. I know you’re having a blast up there and that you probably don’t mind not having a tribute for you, but you are special and loved and deserve to be celebrated.

This song played today and I knew this was the most fitting piece for you. Happy tears streamed down my cheeks as this played, and I knew you were with me. Thank you for everything. You’re always missed, you’re always loved, you’re never forgotten.

My wonderful friend @macabr3-barbi3 is currently writing one of my absolute comfort fics. I know, I raved about her 'Heart Reset' series a few times on this blog, but my fingers itched and produced this: A little tribute oneshot for Vox and her OC Kora, which I gifted to her. She graciously allowed me to post it here, but please, show her and the fic the love they deserve <3 ILY Barbie!

"What about poker? That's easy, and I have a full deck lying around somewhere..."

"Only if we make it interesting, doll...", he wiggles his brows at Kora suggestively, who in return throws a pillow into his flat face. Vincent and Kora had been trying, for hours it seemed, to find a game for them they both enjoyed, as it was a rare evening they both had time off of work and other obligations. A 'Game Night' sounded fun in theory, but it proved to be aggravatingly complicated to find something to play that neither of them both enraged so much that they had to flip the table.

Vincent suggested Monopoly, but it quickly became apparent that it only got out the worst of him - after fifteen mere minutes Vincent had already bought various streets, sent Kora to jail and built hotels, draining her fake account and getting her to the brink of tears with snide remarks. It had taken another fifteen minutes of him apologizing profusely and a big fat chocolate milkshake for Kora until they decided to pack the game away and never touch it again.

Kora's choice was Yahtzee, but the dice were not as kind to Vincent as they were to Kora, and two frustratingly bad rounds later they flew through the window with a crash, along with the dice cup and his point sheets and pencil.

Now he was sitting, still brooding, at the dinner table with a strawberry milkshake of his own (made by a half-guilty/half-bemused) Kora as she was searching in her worn-down trunk for another game that wouldn't end their fresh relationship.

"Mh... I have a fake copy of Candyland, but it looks like some of the pieces are missing...", she mumbled, ruffling through the carton and picking up a chess piece that was painted like a candy corn. Vincent just had to laugh - leave it to this dollface to pay good money for the dumbest badly-made counterfeit game ever. His milkshake was nearing it's end and with his mood slightly improved, he leaned his face onto his hand, gazing at Kora and chuckling when another piece flew out of the carton and clashed loudly on the tiles.

"We could just get hammered tonight." He suggested, to which Kora shook her head in defeat, slamming the lid of the trunk closed and dropping heavily on the seat opposite Vincent's. "We still have the bottle of Brimstone's Fire-Liquor we got on sale... maybe you're more up to my poker idea with a little buzz?"

Her ears perked up, and for a split second Vincent thought he had actually convinced her as her tail began to wag. "No to the poker thing,", she tutted, jumping up to retrieve the dusty bottle from the depths of the kitchen cabinet, along with two shot glasses. "But we can play a drinking game! Do you know 'Never have I ever'?"

As he shook his head, she went on to explain the rules of the game as she filled up both glasses: One player makes a statement starting with 'never have I ever', followed by a simple statement like 'Never have I ever ate a grape in a supermarket'. They would have to drink if they ever actually did it, then it's the next player's turn to make a statement. The whole concept was stupidly simple, Vincent understood pretty fast and he agreed immediately to give the game a try - he was curious to find out more about how and what Kora used to do and be in her life.

As it turned out, their first turns didn't uncover much about each other that they didn't already know. Vincent drank at Kora's "Never have I ever smoked a cigarette.", which wasn't a surprise as he still sometimes had a smoke on the fire escape when work became too much and he had to pull an all-nighter. Kora drank at his "Never have I ever bought a bra.", grumbling about him cheating the system, to which he just smirked at her, cheering his empty glass at her full one and cooed "Bottoms up, sweetheart."

After a while and a few rounds of shots, things got more silly and personal.

"Mmmmh. Never have I ever... slept with a dude!", Kora giggles, granting herself an easy shot. The liquor already starting to affect her small, pliable body with flushed cheeks and with it apparently her healthy sense of self-control. Vincent looked at his glass and then up at her, narrowing his eyes a bit to scrutinize her before sighing and emptying his glass in one long swig. When he looks up, the faint blush that had tinted the cream color of Kora's cheeks had deepened, she stares at him with startled surprise and Vincent clears his throat as he looks away. He knew she wanted to ask, and he was thankful that she had some of her mind left to not pry into that sensitive topic and instead opens a bag of her beloved (and disgusting) chicken and waffle-flavored potato chips, munching obviously loud while rambling about the scarce selection hell had when it came to snacks. He felt too sober for that particular conversation, even eight shots in.

"Alright. My turn,", he leans over the table, elbows resting on the varnished top and his face near hers. "Never have I ever used a sex toy on myself." With a sly smile he lets himself fall back on his seat, turning his empty glass around, eyeing the blushing girl across the table with smug interest. She rolls her eyes and sticks her tongue out at him as she downs the drink, shivering profusely. "Firstly: Unfair, again." She takes a deep breath, shaking her head. "Secondly - this stuff gets worse with every round, doesn't it?"

Vincent can't help but chuckle as he watches Kora clumsily reaching over the table to pour the rest of the dark amber liquid in the two empty glasses. "Okay, big guy, just enough for one last round. And at least try to be less obvious in wanting only me to take a swig."

"Alright, but only if you play by that rule too, sweetcheeks."

"Deal." She holds the shot glass up and looks at him curiously. "So, hit me."

Vincent looks at her, thinking hard about what he'd like to know about her. There are questions about her that are eating at him, especially now as the booze loosened his mind, questions that started out innocuous enough, but ended with either embarrassing or really hot imagery - fuck, get a grip, Vin, he thinks and hums. Something in his circuits was going haywire as a thought comes to him, a chance this stupid game offered right in this moment, there for the taking - if he would be brave enough.

"Never have I ever ...", Vincent's speech is slower, carefully choosing the words before saying it aloud - he couldn't follow through, not yet. But maybe he could start with a compromise."... lived together with a beautiful, clumsy, adorable and nerdy girl." He quickly drank, ignoring Kora's touched expression, so fucking sentimental and mushy, before quickly adding "...with great tits and shit taste in home decor. I mean, look at that ugly porcelain duck you bought last week at the gnat market. Seriously." He rambles, seeing her mouth curve up into a bemused smile. No, it was too early to say, even to think... that he was falling in love, slowly but surely and steadily. The whole corny thing wasn't him, but maybe, one day he could...

"Hey, as far as I know, this duck was made by Lucifer himself. The vendor said so." she laughes, her nose crinkled a bit with a teasing grin on her face, breaking the somber thoughts swirling in Vincent's head. He grumbles and makes a noise, slapping his head. "Right, because a rugged lizard with an eye patch surely knows his way around the king of hell."

"Hey, you know what they say... never judge a book yada yada." Kora scrunches her face as she leanes on the edge of the table, eyes closed and brows furrowed. "Okay, now let's see... Never have I ever..." Her hesitation and her quiet, dulcet tone makes Vincent curious, the drink he took burning lowly in his circuits and stomach as he leans forward once more.

As he waits patiently for her to continue, he notices that she's wringing her hands under the table, tail swishing behind her and ears flicking back nervously. Eventually she huffs a quiet sigh, shaking her head as if to chase a thought away, not unlike he did just minutes ago. Vincent wonders what statement she discarded, if it would've been the same as his, but was interrupted when she finally speaks up.

"Never have I ever been glad that I met you, Vincent." He feels the strange sensation of his screen overheating, staring at her as she takes the last shot with a genuine smile. He watches her stand up on wobbly feet, rounding the table and taking his much too big TV head in her hands. He wants to say something clever or witty, but before he can really react Vincent already feels the gentle press of her soft, smooth lips on him, a touch of skin to screen that had become so familiar to him, yet it feels heavier with much more unsaid words than it ever did before.

She tastes like Brimstone's, like vanilla and those god awful potato chips she loved, like home and like an emotion he was almost scared of facing, but happy to stay lost in for now. The buzz from the alcohol combined with Kora's tender kiss is almost dizzying as she moves back to see Vincent's response - the soft rumble in his chest and a claw coming up to gently pat her head is apparently the right answer as her own purring increased and her eyes drooped a bit.

"...well, doll, that makes two of us, then."

She huffs when he pulls her into his lap, relishing in the soft warmth of her body against his, kissing the ticklish spot in the crook of her neck which earns him a whined yelp and a writhing, cursing Kora in his arms. He grins against her skin, teasingly blowing one raspberry after another and laughing wholeheartedly at the creative insults thrown in between panting breaths and giggles. The rumble in his chest builds furhter and his circuits flutter pleasantly with the thought that it could all be just them, like this, for eternity...

He was glad for what they had right now and for what was to eventually come, glad for the life they were slowly building together... and he was even glad for the fucking ugly duck.

Today is not only Kansas Day - it's also the 65th anniversary of one of Disney's classic movies - Sleeping Beauty! Yes, Barbie isn't the only blonde beauty turning 65 this year lol. On Jan. 29, 1959, Sleeping Beauty was released. So I'll be sharing photos paying tribute to one of our classic Disney princesses. :)

Up first - the 65-year-old question: the pink dress or the blue dress? Which dress do you prefer? I like them both, so it's hard to pick a favorite lol

Briar Rose on her sweet 16th:

Meeting Prince Phillip:

"I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream."

A crown to wear in grace and beauty:

Aren't those little fairy dolls cute? I didn't realize they made them until about a year ago, and I found them in a big Sleeping Beauty gift set that included Aurora, Phillip, Maleficent, and Samson. I searched and found the fairies by themselves, but that price was almost as much as the entire gift set, so I got the latter lol. The fairies are vital characters in this movie!

From left: Flora, Fauna, and Merriweather:

Did you have a favorite fairy? I loved Merriweather as a kid, and her chasing the crow always cracked me up!

"Touch the spindle. Touch it, I say!"

Speaking of that spinning wheel, let's not forget that this movie gave us one of the most popular/iconic villains of all time - Maleficent. She has quite the fan base, even from before the live action version in 2014.

Happily ever after (dancing in the clouds with the dress changing colors):

Fun Facts:

~ Aurora’s pink vs. blue dress debate in the movie was also a debate among the filmmakers. They decided to put their argument into the film.

~ Speaking of Aurora’s dress, despite the fact that she wears the blue dress the majority of the time, her doll form - along with promo images and other merchandise - is most often featured wearing the pink variant. This is speculated to be because when the storybook closes at the very end of the movie, the dress is pink (two of the three fairies are changing it from pink to blue during the final dance number), which made it “official.” There is also speculation that, since Cinderella had been released a few years prior, and she was also wearing a blue dress (and was blonde as well), Disney wanted Aurora to be different.

~ Aurora has the least lines of any Disney princess. She has a total of 18 in her entire movie. In fact, she speaks less than any other main character in a Disney film apart from the mute Dumbo.

~ Aurora’s prince, Phillip, was the first Disney prince to be given an official name (the two previous princes were both referred to as The Prince and/or Prince Charming).

~ Aurora was the last princess to be created before Walt Disney’s death. He passed away in 1966, 23 years before the next princess (which would be Ariel in 1989).

Costume Contest anon here… HAPPY HALLOWEEN! It’s time for the first annual Halloween costume party organized by HBK at the Performance Center. Only the men were invited, so their costumes are allowed to include nudity. It’s an opportunity for the guys to hang out, show off the hard work they’ve been doing on their bodies. and have a relaxing night off at a private party.

The guys are being judged by 3 criteria: Creativity, Physique, and Overall Presentation.

Let’s recap some of the highlights!

The guys are egging him on to lose the jacket and show off his ass, and he eventually caves in to take it off and reveal his wagon.

BR*N BREAKER is recreating Arnold Schwarzenegger’s famous nude rooftop scene from “The Terminator.” He’s walking around completely naked, with half of his face painted silver like a cyborg and wearing one black and red contact lens. He’s strutting around proud of his physique and not caring he’s missing an actual costume.

B*BBY LASHLEY is Jax Briggs from Mortal Kombat. He has his huge arms covered in silver sleeves, and he’s wearing purple tights that end at his quads, leaving his huge muscular ass hanging out. He’s covering his penis with a silver sleeve with the same material on his arms.

AUST*N THEORY is paying homage to John Cena’s nude scene in “Trainwreck.” He’s wearing nothing but a white towel around his penis. The guys can’t help but smack a handful of his fat ass as they pass by him.

Right quad has “Y,” left ass cheek has “E,” right ass cheek has “A” and left quad has “H.” He’s wearing a white sleeve over his penis that has a giant exclamation mark “!” on it.

S*TH ROLLINS finally arrives and is wheeled in on a platform. He’s come as Michaelangelo’s David statue, completely nude with his body painted in light gray.

The Fall Guy Review: Ryan Gosling Brings Kenergy to This Action-Comedy

Action-comedies have long been a genre that allows actors to showcase both their physical prowess and comedic timing. In The Fall Guy, Ryan Gosling takes center stage, delivering a performance that perfectly blends his signature charm with over-the-top action sequences. Directed by David Leitch (Deadpool 2, Bullet Train), the film is a high-octane ride filled with humor, stunts, and surprisingly heartfelt moments that keep you hooked from start to finish.

A Plot That Packs a Punch

The Fall Guy is a modern-day reimagining of the cult 1980s TV series of the same name. The story follows Colt Seavers (Ryan Gosling), a washed-up stuntman who reluctantly returns to the world of death-defying stunts after being roped into a high-stakes mission. When a famous actor goes missing during production, Seavers is thrust into the spotlight — not as a stunt double, but as an accidental hero.

The film is a clever homage to Hollywood’s golden age of stunts, offering a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the chaos of big-budget movie sets. Yet, it never takes itself too seriously, striking the perfect balance between satire and sincerity.

Ryan Gosling’s Kenergy: A Winning Formula

If you thought Gosling’s portrayal of Ken in Barbie was the peak of his comedic chops, think again. In The Fall Guy, he exudes what fans have dubbed “Kenergy” — a combination of charisma, self-awareness, and a willingness to lean into absurdity. Gosling’s ability to seamlessly transition from deadpan humor to high-stakes action makes him the perfect lead for this genre-bending film.

His chemistry with co-star Emily Blunt, who plays his no-nonsense ex-girlfriend and stunt coordinator, adds an extra layer of depth to the narrative. Blunt’s sharp wit and Gosling’s lovable goofiness create a dynamic that’s as engaging as the action sequences themselves.

David Leitch’s Signature Action Sequences

David Leitch, known for his work as a stuntman before transitioning to directing, brings his expertise to the forefront in The Fall Guy. The action sequences are nothing short of spectacular, blending practical stunts with just the right amount of CGI to keep the audience on edge. From car chases to rooftop battles, each scene is meticulously crafted to showcase the art of stunt work while keeping the narrative momentum intact.

What sets The Fall Guy apart from typical action-comedies is its respect for the stunt profession. The film pays tribute to the unsung heroes of Hollywood — the stunt performers — while still delivering the larger-than-life spectacle audiences expect.

A Nostalgic Yet Fresh Take

While The Fall Guy is a reimagining of the original series, it manages to feel fresh and relevant to today’s audience. The film is packed with Easter eggs and nods to the original show, making it a treat for longtime fans. At the same time, it introduces new characters and storylines that keep it accessible to newcomers.

The humor is sharp and self-aware, often poking fun at Hollywood’s obsession with blockbusters and celebrity culture. Yet, beneath the laughs and explosions lies a heartfelt story about second chances and finding one’s purpose.

Why The Fall Guy Stands Out

In a landscape crowded with action-comedies, The Fall Guy distinguishes itself with its unique premise, stellar performances, and a director who knows the genre inside out. It’s not just another popcorn flick; it’s a love letter to the art of filmmaking and the people who risk their lives to make movie magic happen.

Ryan Gosling once again proves why he’s one of the most versatile actors of his generation, delivering a performance that’s equal parts hilarious and heroic. Emily Blunt and the supporting cast add depth and heart, while David Leitch’s direction ensures every frame is a visual treat.

Conclusion: A Must-Watch for Action-Comedy Fans

The Fall Guy is a film that ticks all the boxes — action, humor, heart, and a standout performance by Ryan Gosling. Whether you’re a fan of the original series or simply looking for a fun, entertaining movie, this film is a must-watch.

If you’re eager for more high-octane entertainment, MoviesJoy is the perfect platform to explore similar action-packed films and much more.

The Barbie Phone is plastic, fantastic, and impractical

Hi, Barbie! The Barbie Phone, much like the doll it pays tribute to, is a thing of beauty. But like that doll whose proportions, historically, are impossible, the Barbie Phone just isn’t built for the modern world. Even if the ultra-feminine aesthetic isn’t your thing — and it’s not really mine — you have to hand it to the Barbie flip phone. From the box it comes in, to the interchangeable back…

tell me why i was laying in bed when i randomly got a text from my friend in a group chat saying “guys… liam payne just died” i did NOT believe her but oh my god that was devastating. my mind’s been on his friends and family all day and how they must be coping. especially his poor baby

(i will def not be stalking your page every day now ready to read abt harry being an absolute mess bc i too am i huggeeee fan of that)

dad being the common denominator during your worst eras is the REALEST THING IVE EVERRR HEARD!!! i am still out of the country and im DEF homesick. there’s a bunch of family drama tho, things aren’t complicated, there isn’t a set date to leave yet (but im trying for asap). thank you so much for listening and relating to me 🫶

PLS LIKE WHY DO PEOPLE OUT OF THE USA JUST LIKE… NOT USE ICE😭😭😭 no one here has ice in their homes except us LMAO we brought an ice tray 😭 HAHAHAHAHA SAM I LOVE YOU YOU’RE HILARIOUS. I DONT CARE IF YOU WERE BEING SARCASTIC CAUSE IVE LITERALLY SAID THIS TO ALL THE PEOPLE AROUND ME WITH COMPLETE SERIOUSNESS. all my troubles would be fixed with a vanilla oat milk iced coffee ahhhhhh

i can absolutely see myself having a transformation like in one of those barbie movies where i twirl and everything’s pretty and perfect after the first sip BAHSHSGDFAGAGSH😭

our talk got me thinking i should read more. i even got as far as taking the book off the shelf and putting in on my nightstand😌☺️

wait…harry and love & other words was a crossover i didn’t know i needed but oommmggggg👀 im so down for this if you ever decide to do it

AHHHHH i love you!!!! ive def missed you TONSSSS AND IM SO GLAD WE’RE TALKING AGAIN

I know it's all so horrific and tragic. My students and coworkers all checked on me which was so sweet and cute in a way 😭 I don't know if I'll be writing anything close to Harry being a mess about this specifically, but I do have an idea to pay tribute or whatever. Hopefully it'll be a good idea when the time comes, I'm sure you'll see it 💕

Family is the worst/best thing. My dad thinks we're bffs and I'm like "bro, you're annoying as fuck" I'm sorry you're dealing with drama from them and I do hope you get to leave ASAP and when you do get back please get TWO vanilla iced oat milk lattes and drink one on behalf of me and transform back into your perfect, beautiful barbie self!

Where do you get your latte from? or do you make your own? If it's a chain place (like Starbucks) I will have to try it! I've been trying to make coffee more at home to save $ but there's something nice about someone else making my drink.

Idk if anyone reads our messages, but: if you're reading this and you're not from the USA can you explain the ice thing? No judgment, I genuinely want to understand. I love cold drinks 😭 BROUGHT AN ICE TRAY I'M OBSESSED

Reading progress for sure! My goal was to clear my TBR shelf by the end of the year. Did not happen. But I read many books this year and I added more to the TBR so it is what it is!

very happy to hear from you, I've missed chatting! You don't have to answer if you don't want to, but what's going on with your school stuff? I remember you wanted to go back for your GED (?) how did travel play into that? Or when can you work on that?

hope you have a fun weekend planned at least 💕

xoxo
