I mean in the pictures I've seen, the movie captures many of Barbie's sides. I don't recall a creepy, douchey Ken doll that looks somewhat stuck in the 1980s, do any of you??
I make a card for Barbie every year, but I haven't made one for Ken in awhile. Five years, in fact. It's not that I dislike Ken, because I don't. It's just that, well, it's NOT ABOUT HIM!!!! It's about HER. BARBIE. That's how it's always been and that's how it always should be! And the way the movie twisted and turned everything makes me kinda sick.
There will be more at the bottom of the post if you so desire to read further ranting. Otherwise, here's my card!
Yep, I put Barbie on it too this time, probably because original Ken, while reflective of the times, is not cute at all.
Just a few challenges:
Thanks so much for looking (and reading!) and happy crafting! Laters!!
**I haven't watched the Oscars in years, but the fact that everything at said Oscars was about Ken is just barfy. My SIL wanted me to watch Ryan Gosling's "performance" and I really have no words. Everyone says "Oh you can tell that's his voice!" to ignore the facts that A) he can't sing and B) he can't sing and C) the song sucks. All valid points that everyone seems to ignore. NOW a friend wants me to point out that Ryan's "singing" isn't as abysmal as say Billie Eilish or Taylor Swift, and I will admit that, okay? But he's still an actor not a singer, and you can't change that. But REALLY. What was his hair in the movie? His wardrobe? And why should we feel bad for Ken?!?!?
