barbie girl

stuff i wonder about (and will probably google if i get around to it) 

why is japanese history so detailed from so long ago? or am i just imagining that it's very detailed? did they have paper or what? when was paper even invented?

do all headboards attach with the same system? 

do moth repellents actually work or are they a scam? 

 

i saw Barbie this week with Arttu. i dressed in pink with pink heels & make up to get into the mood. i am very happy this film was made, its attitude and that its so popular. at the risk of sounding obnoxious, some of the feminism was quite 101 and basic. as much as i liked Gloria's "monologue" it seemed forced. however again considering the large audience its intended for it makes sense and i think it can change the world a tiny bit. so, overall good. inserting the inventor also seemed forced tho, especially the talk at the end she gave to Barbie. so cringe. and the weird flashback type of sequence with a lot of motherhood... err. also Barbie's gyno visit made me wonder what it meant and if it was about becoming a mom. or just getting reconstructive surgery to have female bits. what i really also liked was ken's song "Just a Ken". very catchy. also appreciate Mattels' humour in how they presented themselves. yeah lots of fun, good stuff.

these photos of phone screens are i guess voyeurism, but oh so delicious https://www.newyorker.com/culture/photo-booth/the-photographer-peeking-at-your-phone?

on friday i went to this cocktail experience with Raissa & Aleks, with actors and a storyline and stuff, it was fun.

yesterday we met Can & Burcu in Crystal Palace for some walking, drinks & food. and altho sundays are my me days, we met with our new neighbours. they turned out to be a really nice couple.
