Barbie and Real Estate.

September 19th, 2008 Leave a comment Go to comments


Em’s been wanting the latest Barbie movie to come out – Barbie and the Diamond Castle. She had a tough day yesterday, so I rented it today. Later on I’ll be using my Women’s Studies certificate from UNC to paper a birdcage.

Em likes to watch these movies with someone – in this case, me. And as pointless as this emotion is, I get absurdly angry sometimes at all the BFF stuff in these movies because I worry about Emily’s social life. Maternal instincts aren’t rational.

A more reasonable objection: a plot point so far seems to be these heart-shaped necklaces that I know for a fact come packaged with the dolls. I guess that’s nothing new – I remember hearing that the Star Trek Vulcan IDIC symbol was introduced into original Trek as a way to sell merchandise. I guess if that tactic is good enough for Roddenberry, it’s good enough for Mattel.

So hey, let’s wash the taint of Barbie away with a site that comes by way of Cheryl. It’s Lovely! I’ll Take It! It’s “what were they thinking?” pictures of homes on actual real estate listings. Good for some belly laughs.

    Heh. Em’s just decided she wants to change her walls from their current undersea theme (amateurishly done by our family) to a pink theme, with fairies. I’m afraid to show her that house.
