Finding My Bearings

By JustJuli

I’m NOT a Barbie girl!

We bit the bullet, so to speak, and saw Barbie today.

I never really played with dolls when I was little, preferring cars and trucks, rocks, climbing trees, exploring on my bike and going fishing with my father.

Although I ‘get’ the message of the film, and I enjoyed seeing the different - and somewhat bizarre! - versions of Barbies that there had been over the years, I mainly came away just thinking that the Barbies were way too scarily bossy and I felt very sorry for the Kens - probably not what I was supposed to do!

We went into town afterwards and it was no surprise that there were lots of Barbies to choose from!

Btw, google ‘Barbie movie’ and see what happens! You might need to click on the little party hat to get the full effect - I couldn’t believe it!
