You’ve put into words what I’ve been strugythis afternoon to convey. Barbie’s reflections on real life made me cry, and thankful for a dark theatre. America’s character memories of Sasha growing up, changing, all made me cry. Barbie not wanting things to change, wanting things to just be good again, I sympathized with and felt. The social commentary, the Kens screwing up Barbieland once they gained control- all brilliant and hysterical and also too close to home and reality. I thought I would think it was funny, I didn’t realize it would bring up so many emotions in me that I didn’t realize were dormant. We all three dressed up in pink- as much pink as we owned - I like knowing now we were part of a group mentality (a positive one ;)
I saw your photos and loved them, Sara!! The one pink dress I have (!) was long ago turned into a dress-up dress so when I tried to borrow it back it was not quite wearable. I think I dressed like Barbie's nerdy cousin or something. I'd like to see it again for America Ferrera's rant.
Thank you for sharing your family’s Barbie Movie experience. I am more intrigued by the movie after reading this. I worshipped Barbie as a little girl! Your grandmother, Jeannie, made your mother the most fabulous couture for her Barbie, and the only thing I have ever sewed in my life was a blouse for my Barbie, using a pattern, and fabric
purchased especially for me by Jeannie. After I lost my Barbie’s head, Jeannie bought me a Bubble Cut Barbie for $2.47 one Friday when I was suspending the night with Mamie. That gesture and the amount have stuck with me for 63 years. I was blown away by Jeannie’s generosity at the time because it wasn’t my birthday or Christmas. It was just a regular old Friday night. My love to all.
I loved the “I am Kenough” hoodie at the end 😂
Me too! Hilarious!

The girls and I can’t wait to see Barbie!
You will love it! Silverspot front row is always available even though it's actually the coziest spot!
Great photo! I can’t wait!! ❤️
You will love it--it's right up your alley, Jill. Claudia's too. xo
Claudia has already been but wants to go back with me. Meanwhile I’m going tomorrow!! Will look forward to discussing. 💕
