Someone mentioned in the notes on one of my posts recently that they wanted to see more blue collar Barbie careers: something outside of Barbie's niche, which is predominately white collar careers that have some kind of higher education as a pre-requisite.

It is true that this is an area where Barbie is lacking: where blue collar is defined as work in a manual labour or skilled trades space, there are really only two Barbie releases that come to mind that fit this brief.

Barbie Builder playset, from 2017, and Barbie Dream Careers from 2020, which featured construction worker as one of many options.

These outfits appear to be virtually identical, if not actually identical.

There are a number of reasons this might be; one being that Barbie, for all the efforts to address this over the years, is still a very feminine figure and blue collar work may not be seen as the most appealing to the young girls who are the primary target audience. The other is that Barbie releases are very often highly aspirational, and blue collar work tends not to be perceived that way, especially by children.

I am inclined to believe the latter more than the former, as while Barbie has only been a blue collar worker twice (maybe a couple more if you expand your definition of blue collar a little), her boyfriend Ken has been a blue collar worker (by this same definition) a total of zero times.

Her little sister Chelsea has, though.

With a once again nigh identical set.

I mentioned a few times above the definition of blue collar being a key factor, though -- many definitions of blue collar include retail. And it's true that most retail-based playsets show Barbie going shopping.

But there have been Barbies and her friends and family doing various retail positions, from what appears to be a Claire's...

...to food service (at McDonalds - among a variety of other bakeries, food trucks and cafes.)

8/16/2024, Boston, Massachusetts: I ended my voyage in the only way fitting, by getting a traditional handpoked tattoo from artist, boat builder, and tattooist Owen Payette McGarry, a master of his craft and a fount of knowledge of New England maritime folk traditions.

In addition to the 19th century Nantucket whaler I chose from his flash book, the other tattoos you can see in this photo are by Facundo "Faka" Cejas (the Peglar Papers eye), Laceyrea Barrett (the fish with legs), and Chelsea Rhea (the tailfin of a huge mermaid that takes up the other side of my arm).

POV Natasha Romanoff Masterlist

AKA Odessa (ao3) - sirendoom T, 3k

Summary: Natasha was given a mission years ago to escort an engineer but encounters a mysterious enemy along the way.

Balance (ao3) - Yossk T, 44k

Summary: One jaw-achingly cold night in the Andes, Natasha staggers up a flight of ceramic-tiled steps, one arm pressed to her gut and the other fishing around in a pocket for her keys. She’s bleary-eyed and aching and so, so tired, and she nearly forgets to check for the hair she left trapped in the door this morning until it’s almost too late.

Natasha packs her bags and leaves, again and again and again. She forgets the world she's left behind and just survives. She's always worked best alone.

Until a familiar face tracks her down and she has no choice but to return home. Because there's one thing she'll always fight for.

cast your eyes to heaven, you get a knife in the back (ao3) - itstotesgodswill G, 1k

Summary: In the years following the blip, Natasha Romanoff throws herself into her work.

Congratulations on an Excellent Kill (ao3) - igrockspock T, 1k

Summary: In which Natasha discovers that Hallmark does not in fact make a greeting card for every occasion.

Emphasis (ao3) - Princess_of_Words clint/laura T, 10k

Summary: Natasha Romanoff was indifferent to soumates. Any hope she might have had of actually finding friendship or being wanted was quashed by her mark: "Correction, I was going to kill you." But sometimes, not all is at it seems. Sometimes monsters are just people waiting to be given another choice.

Clint & Natasha Platonic Soulmate AU. Also featuring Laura, Steve, and cameos by Coulson.

Eyes for London (ao3) - Builder T, 863

Summary: At first Nat’s happy when when they boarded the jet set to ferry them to London.  She won’t have to spend half the ride teaching Clint to say hello in the local language.  She’s so overconfident, in fact, that she leaves the mission briefing paperwork to peruse in-flight.

“Undercover,” she reads aloud, trailing her finger under the text, “Posing as local businesspeople living in an apartment near Chelsea.”

“Ok.”  Clint nods gamely.  “We can do that.”

Nat looks at him out of the corner of her eye.  “How’s your accent?”

Fearless (ao3) - elle1991 clint/laura E, 291k

Summary: Fearless: A Black Widow origin story.

How did Natasha Romanoff go from being an ordinary child, to one of the deadliest assassins in modern history, to one of Earth's mightiest heroes?

Starting when Natasha was three years old and going right up to the present day, this fic explores Natasha's life as a Red Room Academy student, KGB agent, SHIELD agent and Avenger - and how she grew to be so much more than any of those labels.

Firestorm (ao3) - sunzeniths clint/natasha T, 3k

Summary: Natasha reflects on her relationship with Clint Barton, what takes place in Vormir, and everything that leads up to that moment.

How to be a Heartbreaker (ao3) - enigma731 clint/natasha T, 6k

Summary: “You want me to teach seduction,” Natasha says disgustedly.

Fury sighs. “The official name of the course is Interpersonal Espionage Techniques.”

“Seduction,” she insists. “I’m a spy, not a school mistress.”

He raises an eyebrow. “Interesting choice of words there.”

I am a Pillar of Strength, Watch Me Crumble (ao3) - Rosie2009 T, 1k

Summary: Natasha awakens from a nightmare, doing her best to keep the trauma to herself. However, she quickly realizes that the smallest member of their little family noticed her struggles and came to check on her. She revels in the luck of having someone that loves her unconditionally.

kisses in the sunset (ao3) - flyandfall maria/natasha T, 2k

Summary: Despite being partnered with Steve Rogers for ages, Natasha Romanoff has yet to tell him about her relationship with Maria Hill.

She doesn't want to admit it, but she's scared.

mizuko (ao3) - ashlearose13 clint/natasha T, 4k

Summary: Clint and Natasha try.

(And try and try and try)

Scream 'Til the World Has Gone Deaf (ao3) - Kilameia T, 2k

Summary: Steve’s memory is perfect. Sometimes it’s more of a curse than a blessing. Sometimes memories play out in front of him. Sometimes nightmares do instead.

With HYDRA in the process of being burned to the ground, Natasha is learning that Steve Rogers is more human than Captain America ever was.

Sleep Cycles (ao3) - waynestarks G, 3k

Summary: Nat lets Tony off with a lot more than he should be; Tony lets Nat leave because he wishes he could do the same.

Spiral Galaxy (ao3) - freshbakedlady T, 7k

Summary: Natasha Romanov comes to SHIELD with nothing. They give her clothing and food, a job, a purpose. (The team, she picks out for herself.) With a universe's slowness, her life expands.

Syzygy (ao3) - Domenika Marzione (domarzione) bucky/natasha N/R, 4k

Summary: In astronomy, a syzygy (/ˈsɪzɪdʒi/; from the Ancient Greek σύζυγος, suzugos, 'yoked together') is a roughly straight-line configuration of three or more celestial bodies in a gravitational system.

(Natasha + The Old Guard + the 20th Century )

there's a ghost in my heart, I'm not willing to free (ao3) - BlackBelladonna T, 4k

Summary: She felt her mind trying to chase a thought, a blurred memory she couldn't reach. She ignored the nausea raising within her once again. The girl was shaking slightly, her fingers clenching and unclenching in order to gain some semblance of control.

"Kill her."

—

She felt sick.

For once, she wanted to let it all out. She needed to let it out, or she felt like she would break apart irremediably.

—

"Tasha?"

The Scars She Wore (ao3) - saltwaterselkie T, 2k

Summary: Natasha Romanoff was bleeding. A lot.

This was not particularly surprising, given that she’d just been stabbed. It turned out the human body wasn’t as good at keeping the blood on the inside when it was punctured by a sharp object.

Or: S.H.I.E.L.D.'s newest Russian-spy-turned-agent is keeping a secret, and her archer partner is about to find out what it is.

Three Halloweens (ao3) - flipflop_diva T, 1k

Summary: Natasha and Yelena and the three Halloweens they spent in Ohio.

What He Doesn't Need to Know (ao3) - flipflop_diva steve/natasha T, 3k

Summary: Yelena grinned. “If you two get married someday, I’m happy to be your maid of honor,” she said. “Captain America and Black Widow. What a sight that would be.”

-

Yelena has a mission. Natasha is not happy about it.

When the Wolves Come Home (ao3) - orphan_account alexi/melina T, 12k

Summary: Natasha doesn't want a sister. She knows this before she meets Yelena, and she knows this after they're shipped off to Ohio to act as the children of Alexei Shostakov and Melina Vostokoff. Familial attachments mean nothing to her - she can't miss something she's never known. So, yes, she doesn't want a sister, but somewhere along the years of putting up with the craziness of her dysfunctional family, Yelena becomes just that.

So if you’re new around here, or just think this is a random Avatar blog, hi. Names Chelsea. Writer. Former Jungle Cruise Skipper. Owner of the Appamobile. Thats me on the left in the wheelchair, and me on the right in 2010.

I worked MegaCon Orlando this year. This isn’t special, I’ve done it the last two years. This is the first year since I upgraded to a new set of wheels. And my mom got to work her first convention because getting in and out of giant buildings sucks.

Well Mom was trying to go the bathroom, and then she spotted a certain flying bison on the convention floor. She came running to get me, but we get there and they say, “I know you want a picture but we’re about to move her.”

“You don’t understand. I’m the owner of the Appamobile.”

“Holy crap, you can absolutely take a picture!”

Honestly I think thats the first time I’ve ever been able to pull the, “Do you know who I am?” card outside of Adventureland.

Appa’s builder is a girl! She does a lot of cool cosplay. She gave me a card that I unfortunately lost. And Appa is one of the coolest costumes I’ve ever seen. Made me so happy!

(Click for better quality)

The Berry save is nearly 5 generations in and I know it's only a matter of time before it gets corrupted...so I'm making my own save file!🥳🥳It's going to take a long time but it's been a lot of fun so far. I'm not a builder so I'm putting my favorite Gallery lots in the worlds and making all the Sims myself! Keeping the original iconic townies, of course.

I've finished Willow Creek and made a few Sims so far so I just wanted to show them off😄

Household 1: Olvera

Carlos is just a single dad doing his best. His ex-girlfriend moved to San Myshuno, leaving him and baby Michael behind. Will Carlos find love again or will he choose to focus on himself?

Household 2: Mays

Liz has always wanted to have a child, but she didn't think it would happen so soon! After her parents passed away in an accident, Liz became the primary caregiver of her precocious little sister, Chelsea. How will she focus on her art while also taking care of a kid?

Household 3: Anuman-Suwan

The Anuman-Suwans are a multigenerational family from Willow Creek. Ambitious singer Dara lives with her elderly parents and her husband, celebrity chef Chaiya. They have three children- materialistic Nico, computer geek Saria, and little evil genius Atlas!

I will continue posting progress on this save file and will probably upload it when it's finished just in case anyone wants it! :D

I've joked about it many times before but the other day my husband was looking at some of my Barbie posts and became oddly indignant about the Chelsea Can Be line.

The Chelsea Can Be line presents Chelsea as an aspiring younger version of Barbie: Barbie has a million careers to teach young girls that You Can Be Anything, and Chelsea is the small version of that. Apparently in the world of Barbie, children too can be anything.

The thing about Chelsea Can Be is that it does not seem entirely internally consistent on whether it represents a little child playing at certain aspirational careers, or, uh, a little child doing things that a child should absolutely not do.

Chelsea Can Be: Doctor is definitely the first kind, for example. Chelsea has doctor props and a lab coat but this is clearly and unambiguously presented as a child at play. She is performing her doctor tasks upon a teddy bear. This is charming.

Chelsea Can Be: Fire Fighter raises some questions for me.

I don't think I would trust her to save me in a fire. And who on earth is driving that fire engine?

However, I cannot deny that fire fighters are also an aspirational career. For all that I do not trust a five year old as a first responder, I can see why Chelsea is drawn to this.

Chelsea Can Be: Barista on the other hand - look, I am not trying to disparage people who make coffee professionally in any way. However, it is a less glamorous and aspirational career than Doctor or Firefighter. And it is almost as inappropriate for children. Should a five year old be operating a coffee machine? Is this compliant with work health and safety legislation?!

But the other interesting thing about the Chelsea Can Be line is that a lot of toy retailers describe the line thus:

But there is no police officer in the line. This advertised doll never made it into production. Other ads have updated their wording accordingly, promising "a pilot, doctor, businesswoman/boss, rock star or builder doll (each sold separately, subject to availability)", with no mention of a police officer.

Perhaps there was something happening in the world around the time of the Chelsea Can Be line launched that meant Mattel thought it was no longer prudent to release a five year old cop.

David Gandy is more than just a model; he’s a symbol of sartorial excellence. Whether gracing a Dolce & Gabbana runway or strolling through London’s streets, Gandy’s style is a statement in masculine elegance. Known for his impeccable tailoring and timeless wardrobe choices, he has set the benchmark for modern men’s fashion. If you’ve ever wondered how to channel David Gandy’s effortless charm, this guide will show you how to elevate your wardrobe with practical, stylish advice. Why David Gandy Style Matters Dominic James, CC BY-SA 3.0, via Wikimedia Commons David Gandy’s fashion influence lies in his ability to balance classic elegance with contemporary trends. His style transcends time, offering a blueprint for men who want to look polished yet approachable. Whether he’s suited up for a red carpet event or dressed down in casual wear, Gandy’s fashion choices emphasize individuality, precision, and effortless sophistication. His groundbreaking Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue campaign revolutionized men’s fashion advertising, breaking away from the waif-like male model aesthetic and ushering in an era that celebrated a more classical, athletic physique. This iconic Mediterranean-shot campaign not only defined a new standard in the industry but remained one of the longest-running and most successful fragrance campaigns in history. Additionally, Gandy’s successful transition from model to fashion entrepreneur demonstrated his business acumen and deep understanding of the industry. His collaboration with Marks & Spencer to create his own underwear and sleepwear line broke sales records and proved that male models could be more than just faces – they could be influential brand builders and successful businesspeople in their own right. TL;DR: Key Lessons from David Gandy Style Walterlan Papetti, CC BY-SA 4.0, via Wikimedia Commons David Gandy fashion style is the epitome of timeless elegance, blending classic tailoring with modern flair. His approach teaches us the importance of well-fitted basics, balanced outfits, and attention to detail. Simplicity with Personality: Gandy’s wardrobe prioritizes well-fitted basics, like a crisp white shirt or a navy blazer, that exude confidence without shouting for attention. Balance is Key: He expertly combines bold elements, like a printed tie, with understated pieces for a harmonious look. Details Matter: Accessories like pocket squares, leather shoes, and timeless watches elevate his outfits. These principles resonate with modern fashion’s emphasis on versatility, quality, and individuality—a trifecta that every stylish man should strive for. Wardrobe Essentials Walterlan, CC BY-SA 4.0, via Wikimedia Commons David Gandy’s wardrobe is a testament to the power of investing in timeless staples. These essentials form the foundation of his iconic looks: Tailored Suits Gandy’s suits, often in shades of navy, charcoal, or light gray, are impeccably tailored. Example: His double-breasted suit at the GQ Men of the Year Awards paired with a silk tie and leather Oxford shoes showcased his mastery of formal wear. Practical Tip: Find a local tailor to perfect the fit of your suits. Look for structured shoulders and tapered trousers for a contemporary touch. Crisp White Shirts A wardrobe staple that Gandy wears with everything from suits to chinos. Example: He’s often spotted in a white shirt under a blazer, the top button undone for a relaxed vibe. Practical Tip: Opt for high-quality cotton shirts with a slim fit. Slim-Fit Jeans David Gandy casual style often includes dark-wash slim-fit jeans paired with Chelsea boots. Example: His off-duty look at a London fashion event featured jeans, a leather jacket, and a gray crew-neck sweater. Practical Tip: Stick to minimal detailing and a snug fit that complements your body type. Blazers Gandy’s blazers—single or double-breasted—add polish to his ensembles. Example: A tweed blazer paired with a turtleneck for a country-inspired yet modern look. Practical Tip: Choose versatile colors like navy or beige. Leather Jackets A go-to piece for David Gandy street style, adding an edge to his outfits. Example: His black leather biker jacket worn over a white T-shirt and jeans. Practical Tip: Invest in genuine leather for durability and a refined appearance. Signature Accessories Simon McGill (@MySoulInsurance), CC BY-SA 2.0, via Wikimedia Commons Accessories are the unsung heroes of David Gandy fashion style. They’re the subtle details that tie his looks together: Watches Gandy’s timepieces, often classic and understated, reflect his polished aesthetic. Example: A vintage-inspired chronograph watch he’s worn at numerous public events. Practical Tip: Look for designs with leather straps or minimal dials for versatility. Pocket Squares Adds a touch of personality to his formal outfits. Example: A paisley pocket square paired with a navy suit at a Milan Fashion Week event. Practical Tip: Experiment with patterns and colors to find one that complements your ensemble. Sunglasses Aviators and wayfarers are his go-to styles for sunny days. Example: Seen wearing aviators with a linen shirt and chinos while vacationing in Italy. Practical Tip: Choose a frame shape that flatters your face.

Grooming and Presentation Walterlan Papetti, CC BY-SA 4.0, via Wikimedia Commons David Gandy style isn’t limited to clothing; his grooming routine complements his polished appearance. His signature look includes neatly trimmed stubble and perfectly styled hair, which enhance his overall appeal. Gandy’s glowing complexion highlights the importance of a consistent skincare routine. He emphasizes using a daily moisturizer to keep his skin hydrated and sunscreen to protect against UV damage. This simple yet effective regimen is key to maintaining a youthful appearance. When it comes to hair, Gandy often sports a textured, side-parted hairstyle that is both classic and modern. He uses matte pomade to achieve a natural finish, ensuring that his hair always looks effortlessly styled. This approach keeps his look refined without appearing overly groomed. Confidence is another vital component of David Gandy’s presentation. His posture is impeccable, and he carries himself with self-assuredness, which amplifies his style. Standing tall and exuding confidence are just as important as the clothes and grooming choices you make.
