Hi Barbie!

Hopefully, you’re not sick of people painting the town pink just yet. I won’t write about any movie spoilers but I thought it was great and I’ll be a Greta stan for life now. Fun things to click on below.

Inside The Barbie Set
Architectural Digest gets a tour of the movie set. I’m loving all the BTS and hidden gems within the movie.

But if it existed in each of the 50 US states. Made with Midjourney, I would happily move into any of these.

This came out a couple of months ago but in case you missed it or want a fast way to create all the memes—here’s how you become an instant icon.

Raising the Bar… bie
The evolution of the Barbie logo over the decades.

Until next time folks, and remember: you are Kenough.

Milwaukee Bus Passes
Weekly bus passes between the years 1930–1979. I’m obsessed with how extra these are! Can you imagine this being your job? Incredible.
