#i love barbie in the sense that barbie gets scared of aging and cellulite but when she sees an old woman for the very first time

[crabonfire]

one small post from hiatus to simply say how much I adored barbie. As a plus sized girl when I saw the plus sized barbie so beautifully adorned in her outfit I wanted to cry, and how barbie sat with the old woman at the bench, how she met her creator, how Ruth gave that speech about being a woman...this movie will be engraved into my memory forever. Its perfect, I love you barbie. I can speak for hours on how beautifully written it is and how much depth there is to it, but God.
