The 2010s Black Barbie Look

a deep dive on one of my fav sub styles ever. this aesthetic takes from the 2010s baddie, swag movement, and a lingering hyperfemininity from the 2000s that soon was obliterated by most brands a few years later. i’ve always been into this look as i was the intended audience. a teenage black girl in high school when this look took off.

the vibe ❤︎︎

“everyone was a barb. victoria’s secret was the go to place to shop on fridays after school. you were the cool girl if you had more than four beauty rush glosses. the scent of love spell filled your bedroom.”

+ neon yellow/green, pinky purple

pink of course! very girly and femme. but a much wider range of shades vs today. there was a huge boom in neons too. (this tracks back to the return of the 80s/90s fashion elements) (i remember having this lime green PINK quarter zip that i loved so so much). also gray was a super popular accent color for fashion and interior. zebra print decor was a staple (seen in aaliyahjay’s and ellabandz’ bedrooms) because vs pink was so big, the white on hot pink polka dot pattern was seen everywhere from clothing to needing to girls decorating their rooms with VS PINK bags.

[mypinkparables]

anger is a valid emotion. don’t get swept up in the “peace, love, and positivity” bs that’s forced down our throats every 5 minutes. anger is the signal that someone’s tried us and that we need to either defend ourselves or gtfo of the situation if that’s possible.

people who anger others intentionally through words (for absolutely no reason) are equivalent to people who seek out physical conflict. are you going to just take random, unwarranted, physical abuse from a random bitch on the street who clearly has issues? i hope tf not. so why do so many of us feel guilty for standing up for ourselves against the “family” or “loved ones” who seek verbal conflict with us? we’re literally made to feel guilty for stepping into survivor mode - and defending ourselves from people who were threats to us - instead of stepping into completely-helpless-victim mode immediately. that’s why people with control issues try to break down our sense of self over time. for most of us, there was a time when we stood up for ourself against these people. and then a time when we grew tired and numb to their bs. and now we’re tasked with having to find our defences again. but we’re made to feel crazy or guilty for it, just like we were made to last time.

i guess i type this to say: you’re not crazy. you’re not problematic. that problematic ass family that you have is the issue. that dysfunctional person that you have to be around is the issue. you’re expected to be fully functioning when you’re around someone who could drive anyone to madness. because they’re mad themselves. literally. low functioning narcissistic people and abusive people especially. everyone can see that they’re not “normal”. you’re around the human embodiment of dysfunction but yet you’re expected to be a fully functioning human being? i don’t fucking think so. cut yourself some slack. you’re doing everything that you possibly can right now.

IDK WHAT 2 TELL U - CHEYLIZEAN

All the hypocrisy

And every time my rule became your democracy

Stuck in your ways I guess this path is how you Got2B

I guess you’re not for me

It’s what you’re not doing

The smell of toxic brewing

If I had a lease on our love I wouldn’t be renewing cause

Youre Lame bitch pursuing

Youre Bad bitch losing

Nigga what are you doing?

Nigga who are you fooling?

Nigga, you’re too confusing

And I’m not assuming

But If you got the money

Nigga why the charge disputing?

If yo mama raised you right then nigga why you looting?

Your God is not approving

Your behavior’s not amusing

You’re substance abusing

This shit too time consuming

I aint got time to be losing

I am degree pursuing

Pretty gang recruiting

Relationship concluding

But with no belly protruding

No stranger reproducing

This karmic won’t be looping

My life is resuming

Youtube views soon booming

I’m not the broken hearted girl, it’s just a little bruising

No rain , no flowers blooming

And I know you watching fuming

Should be shadow self reviewing

Too bad you are refusing

And bad choice choosing

Too bad you’re not improving

The logic’s not computing

The results are not producing

So I will be self removing

Cause I don’t know what to tell you nigga…….

8:11am

I be having my ideas and reservations

I never stop looking for confirmations

Somewhere between avoiding character defamation

While looking for life’s pleasures minus the temptations

It burns on my skin, the truth and Sun I’m facing

Who’s to say I’m meant for maintaining if I came out the box already decaying ?

Who’s to say I’m meant for obeying

Cause when the game don’t go my way?

That’s when I wanna stop playing.

When the game don’t go my way, why is that when I start praying?

Why do I fall into these games of pump faking and portraying?

Knowing damn well I’m a freak but not into role playing

Rather say a word and have them understand what I’m saying

Cause when I get to essaying, they always get to downplaying ,

Everybody else outweighing,

Barely even been here but now I’m overstaying

Once the MVP, somehow now my role, I’m over playing

Taking long looks in the mirror, replaying, expecting for hair to start graying….
