actor! caitlyn kirramman ⋆.˚ ౨ৎ ˚ ˖࣪

a/n: wrote this while listening to video games by trixie mattel. a true lesbian experience. warning: slightly suggestive, also sevika cameo cause… #needthat

caitlyn kirramman is the type of woman to never slip out that she has been engaged for a year and a half— let alone been in a serious relationship for seven years. not a single rumor has been uttered by a lousy so-called hollywood reporter or a flash of a paparazzi’s camera under the stars of a new york city night has caught caitlyn and her fiancée making out in her car.

she would expect an applause for her efforts, but the only person would be you. which to her, is her favorite audience. by far. not even her own cast mates know about the love of her life. (not if you include sevika, who ever since she heard caitlyn say “i love you more, darling. lay there all pretty for me until i come home, okay?” and kept her mouth zipped ever since, but not without a slight scowl on her face.) but obviously her team knows, but never too much.

and don’t get it twisted: she is not ashamed of you nor her identity. she waves her lesbian flag proudly, literally if not figuratively, since for all the years she known you, she has starred in films and t.v shows which are unapologetically lesbian.

but with all the acclaim and attention she has garnered since she was six years old as an actor, it destroyed her from the inside out. she thought she would never recover— until she met you. it wasn’t like the movies where broken the girl gets automatically fixed by the love of her life. if only it were that simple. you were so tender and bright, it was hard to resist you. you taught her how to sew the broken pieces of herself, so she could be the best possible version of herself. she knew, deep down, she wanted to get down on one knew a year into dating you.

could you blame her for wanting to protect you from even a fraction of the pain she went through?

but during one glorious night, under chatter and glow in that auditorium of the best of the best in her industry, the announcer cries out her name. suddenly, everything seemed to slow. the roar of applause dulling out as she steps onto the stage, holding a golden award that was way heavier than expected, she couldn’t help but thank the very person who she couldn’t live without.

“and to my fiancée, you’ve turn my life technicolor. i love you, darling.”

Propaganda

Lauren Bacall (To Have and Have Not, The Big Sleep, Key Largo)—"Just put your lips together...and blow" excuse me ma'am i'm briefly going to turn into a kettle. She's the quintessential Femme Fatale who may betray me in the end but I'd let her it'd be worth it

Diahann Carroll (Paris Blues, Carmen Jones, Porgy and Bess)— Face of an angel. She had the range. She brought chemistry with every romance she portrayed. She also had a great fashion sense, and was so pretty Mattel made a doll based off of her.

We are in the quarterfinals of the Hot & Vintage Movie Women Tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Propaganda is not my own and is on a submission basis. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.

[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]

Diahann Carroll:

Another groundbreaking black actress, although she might be better remembered for her television roles. She was also an activist and worked with charities to support women in need.

here she is hanging out with shadow prince anthony perkins :3

Lauren Bacall:

"She is soooo neat. And hot. And everything. That one scene in To Have and Have Not where she says "you know how to whistle don't you? You just put your lips together and blow" altered my brain chemistry during media archaeology class and here we are."

"The VOICE, the SLINK, the EYES. Woof."

"Lauren Bacall was a major lesbian awakening for me. Every picture of her makes it look like she’s about to destroy you physically and emotionally (why is that so hot, I may need help). She had incredible long running chemistry with her husband, Humphrey Bogart, but was an absolute star in her own right. I’ll never be over my crush on her."

"She's got that confident, no-nonsense air about her. She's a boss babe who knows what she wants and gets it DONE. Staunch liberal Democrat her whole life. Campaigned for RFK. From Wikipedia: "In a 2005 interview with Larry King, Bacall described herself as "anti-Republican... A liberal. The L-word". She added that "being a liberal is the best thing on Earth you can be. You are welcoming to everyone when you're a liberal. You do not have a small mind."" Beautiful hair. Beautiful eyes. Beautiful lips. She's just beauty. LISTEN TO HER VOICE. TELL ME THAT'S NOT THE STUFF THAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF."

ok i have been having this situation in my head for awhile and i completely agree with this post

so like a week ago i downloaded twt and made an acc under my user just to have my user saved on there and tweeted a little bit and checked out what was happening in the twt spaces of fandoms

and eventually a few days ago i deleted the app because i don’t plan to use it

but also

i made a tweet just saying i confess to actually liking the texture of poly and i swear like one hour later that’s when the designer posted that story/people pointed out the “secret message”

and i deleted the app out of stress from the whole situation because 1 i don’t get the outrage and 2 i am afraid my tweet will be seen as a response to this situation when it was just a very, very bad coincidence

but seriously i don’t get it people are complaining that “they buy all these dolls and defend mh but beg for no more poly and this is what happens?”

i know what the designer said was definitely a little snarky/mean spirited but… if you don’t like poly then don’t buy the doll? i REALLY don’t get it 😖😖

and people say that the designer could change this ? i’m not sure how much power designers have but designers are meant to design, not pick what type of products to use for a doll, please explain if it s actually possible anyone

i don’t know exactly how to put my thoughts completely out but i just don’t get the hate and i would like for someone to explain it better to me (again, please i srs don’t get the rage)

okay it's 1am but i gotta talk about this

one of the g3 designers (i believe it was the person who does faces?) made a little joke about "loving" polypropylene hair (a bit tone-deaf to ignore and poke fun at valid constructive criticism but nothing outrage worthy imo) and dolltwt is FUMING about it 😭

like it's totally understandable to not like poly for a myriad of reasons but people are getting,,VERY upset and i personally think it's a bit dramatic and petty 🤔 but i guess i shouldn't expect dolltwt of all places to be capable of having civil debates

HCs: Ken meeting a Human!Fem!Reader who owns a ranch

Wanted to write something for this movie bc it’s all I’ve been thinking about for the past two days. So enjoy, lovelies! 

I’m taking requests for this movie so don’t be shy <3 

[SPOILERS AHEAD]

...........

After going back to the Real World to find a purpose for himself, Ken runs into you, a country girl who left the Mattel company to take care of your ranch.

You just stopped in the city to find new outfits..and instead found him rollerblading through the park, immediately recognizing him as a Ken.

You may not be in the company anymore but you just knew (especially with his vibrant outfit giving it away).

You two hit it off right away and eventually you go shopping together.

He gets a new cowboy outfit and is bashful when you pay for it (to which you reply that you..really didn’t have a choice in the matter, as he had no money).

He’s like “ohh that happened before when I was with Barbie..we got arrested for the second time that day :D”

You’re very concerned and decide that he should stick with you from now on (not that anyone at Mattel would ever care about a Ken running around to begin with...you just didn’t wanna have to bail him out of jail).

On the truck ride back to your home, you mentioned owning a ranch and Ken’s in a w e

You tell him more about it, and he’s so intrigued and can’t stop staring at you the entire time, especially as you go on about how a lot of women in your world are cowgirls and how they aren’t represented enough.

He bluntly states that he once believed “patriarchy” was all about the horses and you nearly laughed, but he seemed sad about it, so you assure him if he wanted to see horses, he made the right decision coming with you.

You introduce him to one of your favorite steeds and he’s SO overjoyed to actually see one in person. Like petting its mane and asking dozens of questions like an excited kid.

“Are you sure Barbieland didn’t have any horses of their own?”

“No, we just have the ones on sticks and our imaginations.” He pouts, mimicking the way he rode invisible horses with his hands. “But this? This is WAY cooler!!”

He tries mounting your horse, envisioning himself riding off into the sunset, free as a bird while shouting “yeehaw” at the top of his lungs-

Only for it to rear its head up and nearly stomp on his foot, with you having to calm it down as he snaps back to reality, looking utterly distraught and stressed over upsetting it.

“Alrighty. Ken. If you wanna ride a horse..the first step is earning its respect. Thought you would’ve learned about that in those books....but if you’ll let me, I’ll show you how to properly mount one. Luckily this one here’s accustomed to double riders.”

His face lights up and he listens to every instruction you give him, from placing the saddle on its back to climbing on, and finally how to control the direction he wants it to go.

For this one time, however, you take the reins and let him sit behind you, hugging you a bit too tightly for your liking, but you allow it as you show him around the rest of your ranch.

He just likes the closeness fr and you.

By the time the day’s over, your horse got better acquainted with Ken and let him ride around for a little while before you gotta put it in the stable for the night.

Before he could worry about where he was gonna go, you tell him he can stay with you as long as he wants.

He’s so happy he just,,,,breaks down ugly crying into your arms.

Though he quickly apologizes, admitting he’s still getting used to crying freely and being more emotional and-

“It’s okay, Ken.” You reassure him. “We need more guys like that around here who ain’t afraid to shed a tear or two.”

“Th-Thanks...Barbie told me it’s an amazing feeling. And honestly..it kinda is.”

After that small heart-to-heart talk, he gifts you his horseshoe necklace as a sign of his appreciation, that dopey grin returning to his face when you take it and wear it right away.

Yeah, you’ve only met each other for a day and he’s smitten the moment you started treated him as an equal. You let him have his own room, bed, wardrobe, etc. (and in time he'll have his own horse too).

All you ask is that he helps you manage the ranch, but at this point he’s willing to do anything for you now.

Finally, he realizes this was his dream all along.

One that Barbieland couldn't provide, but that was alright.

Patriarchy is overrated, anyways. This was all he wanted.

[ivysangel]

do you think jason gets turned on when you start rambling about something you’re interested or passionate about? like he’s listening and giving you his full attention, zoned out on your pretty lips while you talk and hearing the little spurs of excitement in your voice when you get to one of your favorite topics and the way you smile while asking him “what do you think tho?? 😊” is just so cute and ugh now he’s hard bc you’re just so perfect to him and he can’t decide if he wants to watch you try to keep talking while his fingers are knuckles deep inside you with borderline obscene squelching noises interrupting you or just shut you up with his tongue down your throat while he’s balls deep inside you

-🦦 anon who is high rn so this might sound like gibberish 😋

this is the kinda bf i need fr. like let me tell you in detail what went down between mattel and mga that caused the downfall of bratz while you try your hardest not to make the bedroom look like the aftermath of an onlyfans shoot !!!

anyway, the thought of this with jason is going to make my nose bleed like i just can't think about this. the fact that you're so passionate about something turns him on soooooooooo bad. like ofc he also finds it cute and endearing, but there's something so sexy about how knowledgeable you are on this topic. like if you have a favorite book or movie franchise and see someone give it a bad review based on some stupid criteria (letterboxd users lmao), and you start rambling on about how their opinion is wrong (bc opinions can be wrong idc) and they just don't get it, he's gets just slightly amused but mostly very horny. he lets you keep talking as long as he can before moving closer to you, kissing your neck, lightly touching your thigh. you stop talking bc the moods shifted, but he just tells you to keep going, keep rambling, spill all of your thoughts on this person's dumb opinion while his fingers find their way into your cunt. it seems like he's not actively listening, and even if he was, every word that comes out of you is so broken that whatever you're saying is practically incoherent. somehow he still manages to pick up everything though, so he randomly brings up something you said, and then it's your turn to lay it on him bc attentive men are so hot.

Barbie made her debut in 1959. The way she was sold then is a little different than the way she's sold now. These days, individual Barbies come with their own unique looks & usually some kind of unique function or accessories. You can buy clothes separately, but those looks are still secondary to the expectation of buying a lot of Barbies. Back in the day, you bought the one Barbie and then bought her clothes separately. This is why back then Barbie came with a bunch of friends and always came wearing a swimsuit.

The oft-memed origin story for the classic Barbie is that she was modeled on a German sex doll named Lili, which is only partially true. In the 50s, most dolls available for girls were baby dolls that primed girls for being a wife and mother. Fashion dolls were a thing but they were generally more reserved for adults.

Ruth Handler, who co-founded Mattel with her husband and served as its president from 1945-1973 (#girlboss much?), got the idea of making an adult doll for girls when she'd see her daughters playing with paper dolls. Instead of playing with babies, they chose teen-aged and adult paper dolls and played fantasized versions of adulthood. Then, on a trip to Germany, Ruth saw a Lili doll in a store, and asked her daughters what they'd think of playing with a doll like that. Apparently, they liked the idea.

Lili the doll wasn't an inflatable fuck doll. She was based on a popular comic strip character Lili created by Reinhard Beuthien and published in the Hamburg-based Bild Zeitung. Lili was a buxom gold-digger seducing her way through the wealthy men of post-war West Germany.

The comic was definitely adult-oriented, and the doll it created was a popular bachelor party gag gift.

The introduction of a doll with breasts did cause *some* controversy, but it was more pearl-clutching rather than tremendous cultural outrage. Barbie was actually an immediate hit. She fit in very well to late 50s ideals of femininity. I've heard it said before that parents liked her because she helped little girls get into the beauty, fashion, and level of grooming that she would need to catch a husband. IDK if that was intentional, but it seems to fit very well.

I don't want to get into whether or not Barbie is this huge feminist icon or not because, well, she's a toy. I think Ruth Handler was an incredibly smart businesswoman who saw a market demand and met it. Barbie is about the power of fantasy and imagination, and anything that people see in her are the things they want to see in her.

In her incredible multitude of careers, she also holds up an impossible and toxic standard of beauty. Mattel has always been very aware of Barbie's image. I'm pretty sure that the reason Mattel hated "Barbie Girl" so much wasn't because it was wink-wink sexual, but because it nailed the popular stereotype of the time that Barbie was this fake, plastic bimbo who was an unhealthy role model for girls (go listen to Aquarium, now!).

The recent years of Barbie taking on a more empowering, feminist, and diverse lean is because Mattel is simply correcting course and keeping up with the times. Honestly, they've done a very good job of it, but I'm not going to kid myself into thinking they're doing anything other than maximizing profits.

I love me some Barbie but I was always an AG girl, ngl. However, I think Barbie and her cultural context are still incredibly fascinating and worth taking a look at.

Just finished Black Barbie on Netflix with my mom. She and I liked it and I recommend it to anyone who is interested in Barbie, African American history, children’s psychology, fashion dolls, or the toy industry. Or documentaries in general.

As a doll loving autit, a lot of the Barbie history was recap. However, as a white American, listening to new experiences and viewpoints from a community I’m not a part of taught me a bunch.

This solidified a lot of the criticisms and frustrations I’ve already been having with modern Barbie/Mattel.

I hope this film helps spark productive conversations.

(Also side note: The doc’s timeline does up until the Big City Big Dreams movie. Pre Barbie movie era.)

[goosita]

i feel like you have such great characterization of both billy & coryo, so I'd love to know ur thoughts on what kind of music each of them would listen to? probably in a more modern/current music sense cuz idk what kind of music they listened to in the 1870s or in future panem LOL 💌

ps praying either of them would like the smiths

oh coriolanus snow’s literal theme song is “please please please let me get what i want” are u kiddin me he would love that song so much and relate to it so deeply, especially pre-games coryo. i truly think like. early-mid 2000s poppunk would really do it for him too, like any sort of that type of emo music tbh. for the rest of his playlist for modern!coryo in my head:

tiffany blews by fall out boy

the river by good charlotte

i dont wanna be in love by good charlotte (lol)

the kill by 30 seconds to mars

lying is the most fun a girl can have without taking her clothes off by panic! at the disco

knives and pens by black veil brides

lips like morphine by kill hannah

help me by alkaline trio

exit music (for a film) by radiohead

venus in furs by the velvet underground

for billy i actually think going the country route is a little too on the nose, i think if he was into that it would be more modern but throwback-y stuff like tyler childers and orville peck. but at the same time i think he’s also the type to enjoy anything with a lot of Feeling to it if that makes sense?? some of modern!billy’s playlist in my head:

tattoos by tyler childers

sleep on the floor by the lumineers

wedding song by anais mitchell and justin vernon (specifically this original version and not the hadestown cast version)

hexie mountains by orville peck

talk and work song by hozier (❤️)

moving parts by trixie mattel

she’s got you by patsy cline

the devil wears a suit and tie by colter wall

roses are falling by orville peck

feathered indians by tyler childers

BILL NYE SAVES THE WORLD with games and BARBIE (dolls). CHEAT CODES FOR REALITY

link https://ok.ru/video/332810291798 Bill and friends examine video game technology that could change the world, including a game that could help surgeons sharpen their skills.

Ignorance can sometimes play tricks on your perception when confronted with reality. Barbie (dolls), however, is not my thing, but it has got me thinking about my biases, some may say phobias, which I think are misinformed fears, often time created on purpose and other times out of simple stupidity. But it is never too late to reform, even though it is thought "that you can't teach an old dog new tricks". The emphasis is on TRICKS, think about that.

Following is one of the most amazing advertisement vid I have ever seen. Really amazing ... you will not avoid enjoying and liking it, whether the message is clear or not.

link https://youtu.be/l1vnsqbnAkk

The "Imagine the Possibilities" campaign for Barbie was created by Mattel in 2015. The "Imagine the Possibilities" campaign was directed by Karen Cunningham, a well-known director in the advertising industry. The script was written by BBDO San Francisco, the advertising agency behind the campaign. Their collaboration resulted in a powerful and inspiring ad that resonated with audiences worldwide.

This campaign was a significant shift in how Barbie was portrayed, aiming to empower young girls by showing them in various ambitious roles such as veterinarians, university lecturers, sports coaches, and corporate executives. The ad was designed to resonate with parents, particularly mothers, who wanted toys that aligned with their values and encouraged confidence and breaking stereotypes. The campaign quickly went viral, garnering millions of views on YouTube and becoming a cultural phenomenon. (AI Copilot)

Pink has many meanings and used in many contexts, but the underlying current, whether you thought of it or not, is sexual, you can thank Sigmund Freud for that, but the powers that be...(lets keep an open mind).

Whether you find any relation to Bill Nye's programe to my lead up to Barbie, well, it's all about playing and your perception of life as a game to the reality or your surrounding and the architecture of your education, is all one and the same.

The 1959 classic original Barbie Doll.

However, the 2023 BARBIE film curiously enough simulates the opening props of the Stanley Kubrick film 2001, a Space Odyssey which follow ...
