I was sexually assaulted at my job repeatedly. I need help getting an employment lawyer to take my case. If you can spare anything I would be eternally grateful. Thank you.
Now that it's daytime (and not raining), I can show off the colors of the jaguar tube! Like I said before, this was a fun challenge, and there are plenty of parts I'm proud of. The whole thing is inspired by my own d&d character Zora, a warlock of an old sun deity, a recent werejaguar, and a leathersmith. The design is inspired by a Maya stelae of a jaguar, and I did the markings more akin to actual jaguar pelts. The border stamping on the top is the same border stamp I used for her dice pouch ages ago, and the decorative double cross stitch is a fun flair I feel Zora would add to such a piece.
What does it mean to engage with white feminist media as a woman of color? Growing up, I wasn’t all that in tune with my racial identity. Though I’d fallen victim to the Model Minority Myth and its plights, it was my identity as a woman that first got me into advocacy. I clung to Barbie’s You Can Be Anything slogan and played Taylor’s songs on repeat.
Yet as I further understood the significance of my other identities, I began to shun these gorgeous blonde pop-culture icons. Their politics, like the narrow-eyed, pinkish-pale East Asian doll Mattel came out with, felt more and more like they weren’t meant for me.
I could dissect the problems with Barbie the Movie—the performative diversity, the lack of intersectionality in its politics, its conflating of matriarchy and patriarchy, its being capitalist in its critique of capitalism, and the fact that Ken never really apologizes. And I have.
But the truth is, sometimes I miss my Barbies. I still want to scream the lyrics to "I Wish You Would" and fangirl over the "they're burning all the witches even if you aren't one" line in "I Did Something Bad". I, too, want to bask in the hot pink, unapologetically feminine, mainstream, in-your-face feminist agenda that sticks it to the patriarchy, however surface level. Barbie the Movie is unapologetically for the girls– for the women. And even if it at times didn’t totally feel like it was for this girl, she still wants to dress up in all pink with her friends and run to the theater in high heels.
On our final entry we get as what Barbie herself calls it a bespoke song with planned choreography in a blowout party.
The best overall entertainment moment of the year comes as we get a Barbie dance montage you would only see in an animated film of hers, only now it’s for real.
The cast getting down showing off the skills and mood that all of Mattel’s iconic property over 65 years can put into a perspective.
Pure fun and pleasing moments for all.
What gives this its gravitas is the ballad by Dua Lipa, as she gets the party mindset with a catchy jam that also keeps the mood despite the dour subtext in the bridge that would ironically play into the plot.
Simply enjoyable in an unexpectedly great moment.
Even montaging well with its counterpart.
But like with MindaRyn this really was a tossup. Only here the pure fun of the scene is what pushes this out in the street as we follow along with Stereotypical Barbie and company dancing the night away.
