I'm a Barbie girl

In a Barbie world

Life in plastic, it's fantastic

[shiverandqueeef]

it's been roughly two months of Thinking About Her (sharon rooney in the barbie movie) and I am still in the same damn place i was when the casting was announced

-sharon rooney is in a major hollywood movie life is amazing

-the barbie movie is a $145m commercial created for the sole purpose of rebranding the doll-line and helping mattel claw their way back to the top of the children's toy industry, a position they have definitively lost at this point to both disney and lego. the representation, feminist themes, and even the sense of humour in the film are all carefully cultivated via market research to modernize barbie's image and entice a consumer market of millenial mothers - a demographic increasingly more concerned with the potential consequences of handing their daughters a white blonde doll with physically impossible body proportions and propping her up as the pinnacle of beauty.

-mattel introduced alternative body shapes to the barbie line after fifty seven years of a barbie whose body measurements on a real life woman would result in her waist snapping in half. this includes a doll with the label of "curvy" a word i would very much love to obliterate from all human language

here's the actor playing fat barbie in the movie:

and here's the curvy barbie doll you can buy:

i hate everything lmao

it's your good ol'fashioned catch 22 of mega corporations like mattel co-opting "representation matters" for profit. As with disney's live action little mermaid casting black actor Halle to play ariel, you know it's all just about broadening the demographics of potential merchandise consumers. and yes, i am aware that barbie is not the single source of anti-feminist evil personally responsible for the existence of eating disorders but. Mattel casting a fat actor while selling a "fat" barbie with size 8 hips and being praised for it, as though they haven't been actively contributing to the patriarchal machinery that structures and maintains bullshit beauty standards drenched in fatphobia for the last 50 goddamned years is fucking infuriating! all the more so because even knowing all of this, seeing fat barbie sharon rooney on the big screen still makes me so fucking happy

come on barbie let's go party! 🏩🌴

the much anticipated finished barbie quilt! this may be my largest project to date and i'm so pleased with how it turned out. with the high-loft batting there was no way i was getting it through my home machine, so i had to resort to hand ties instead of machine quilting. so glad to get this one off the shelf and onto my blanket pile!

I am the Barbie Girl. This is my Barbie World.

I'm entirely late to seeing the barbie movie but my roommate had very specific demands that we see it together so I had to wait.

Waiting did give me the advantage of getting this skirt in for the perfect fit.

Steve Harrington holds Eddie Munson’s face in the palms of his hands, as if he is trying to make sure to commit every single scar and dip of Eddie into his memory. (He is.)

He allows himself a moment, allows the tips of his fingers to dip down along the cut that runs along Eddie’s cheek. Follows the dip of it with his pinky, swirls down to brush against the edge of Eddie’s bottom lip. He watches, enamored, as the tip of Eddie’s tongue flicks out to touch the pad of his finger- before dark eyes blink open to meet his.

Eddie Munson allows himself a moment to watch as Steve Harrington stares down at him, cradling his face in his palms. He takes a moment himself, allows himself to scan his eyes over the freckles and moles that are dotted along Steve’s skin like tiny kisses.

He lets his eyes coast down Steve’s jaw, allows them to follow the curl and curve of the healing pink cut that is looped around his neck. Imagines what it would be like to press his mouth in a kiss to the skin there, imagines and hopes. Yearns.

It’s quiet, in the hospital room.

Eddie and Steve say nothing, even as Steve presses his thumbs in against the swell of Eddie’s cheeks a little firmer. As if he is scared that Eddie will slip out from between his fingers. (He is.)

Eddie says nothing, even as Steve frees one of his hands to press the call button for a nurse. Even as Steve manages to murmur something, something that Eddie wishes he could’ve heard- but instead he just watches. Imagines. Hopes. Yearns.

When Steve turns to catch Eddie’s eyes with his own, Eddie feels like he is coming home.

When Eddie’s eyes are captured by Steve’s, Steve feels like he has just woken from a deep slumber.

Eddie smiles— and imagines, hopes, yearns.

Steve smiles— and is completely enamored.

Eddie is the one to break the silence, even as the hospital room’s door is pushed open by a nurse.

“Hey there, big boy.”
