Hey Barbie

[softcenteregg]

Because I’m not able to do a ton of drawing lately I’ve been Barbieifying everything. The desire to make everything a physical manifestation of 1995 7-year old peer pressure is pretty high.

From Barbie (2023) 🩷

I saw this on Pinterest and despite some of the comments trying to explain it, I decided to give it a shot and explain it too:

Because when we're kids we do not think about it because we haven't been contaminated with those ideas. But you keep an idea going on for a while and that idea starts to transform into this.

That's why "ideas live forever" matters a lot when Ruth says it.

We are constantly fed by magazines, movies and social media about how we're not enough. Then we blame it onto icons (images, dolls, celebrities, people) to make sure our rage has a way out and we can express it because we've been pressurized either by those or even worse, our peers, and the people we love to fit and accept certain roles, and we even have a way to measure happiness.

But then Greta and America come into the picture to make sure your brain turns back to the way you used to be with Barbie Monologue. In a way, it's like, here's hoping you come back to your senses too, like the other Barbies.

Only for society getting pissed off at it after watching the movie. And making it about men. Again. Because "Get back into the box Barbie!" it's a perfect analogy of conformism.

Kind of ironic because I only have to look back at America's Ferrera speech to be once again proved right. Imagine feeling threatened by a plastic doll 💀 and with this my little essay concludes.

Now, better saying that fitting into labels and standards will kill us all lol

Yes, it's true that they help us to realize who we are and what do we want but they also help us to "keep the status" and make sure "others" do not enter into our world. From that moment on, there's and will always be a barrier. A wall. It takes constant work to make sure those walls stay down, making sure people cross without getting worried about these things. Labels are fluid. Do not let them define you.

What I learned today:

Co-workers don’t appreciate when I randomly break out into a self-styled, song and dance rendition of “Hey Barbie” (Pink).

Trying to provide some entertainment for people and they don’t appreciate shit.

Carry on.

Hey Barbie 💖 I’ve been drawing a bunch of 80’s Barbie and Friends dolls inspired looks lately.

[flying-princess]

C'mon, we got important things to do.

The Barbie movie was the best movie of the year for me.

So I had put polls up on all my socials and the Barbie movie dress that had won was, my personal favourite, the pink and white sundress!

It took a while to figure out how to draw plaid but with the help of a tutorial, I got past that thankfully. I hope you all like her.

Hey Barbie.💟

I want Barbie to find out that everything’s fake and to be having a mental breakdown and then Ken comes out of nowhere and starts doing rollerblade tricks to cheer her up
