OMG, I went with my teenage daughters and their friends, basically a gaggle of girls. I was the designated driver. Some how in this new age I wore the most pink, but hey what can you say. Anyway I simply loved the movie, had so many old Gen X references, plus so much more. I was giggling, if you can call it that, or down right laughing with the rest of them. I think I might even have teared up at a few scenes but that was just my inner little girl talking.

Yes, I went. Yes, I cried…a lot. So yes, I should have worn waterproof mascara! Yes, I should have brought more tissues! And YES! I loved it!! So much that I’m going again this Sunday with another girlfriend. Maybe this time I won’t have to try watching it through my tears.
I’m not completely sure, but I believe recently being told that I am an intersex female, and the knowledge that I truly am a woman, had a major effect on my response to seeing the Barbie movie. I was so in touch with all the female characters and it brought back so many memories from my childhood. I have always been feminine! I don’t have a masculine bone in my body! When my sister got Barbies and I got Tonka trucks, I looked at my mom and tried not to cry.
The movie is also a very poignant, but definitely pointed, social commentary. Which is why it has apparently offended many who are all in an uproar, and a certain podcaster going to a store to purchase quite a few Barbie dolls just so he could film himself lighting them on fire!
I love the movie, it will always be dear to my feminine heart, and I can honestly say that it helped affirm and validate me as a woman traveling this new pathway on my journey.
Big hugs ladies,

Let me know what you think, I loved it, and think it is a game changer in the current gender wars that is happening. Mark my words in a year from now Trad wife glamour is going to be all the rage.

Does that mean that the Stepford Wives are coming back?!?!

Yep, 50’s with a touch of sparkle. Lucky for us the Stepford’s only killed the men, but Unlucky for us we get turned into robots.
