I'll Beach You Off!

If you're one of the multitude of attendees for the new Barbie movie (that finally opened here in Japan), then you'll know what the title of this post refers to. Or maybe you're one of those disgusted by its "wokeness" and just don't know how to have fun. Either way, click this YouTube to enlighten yourself!


That link above has lots of fun for it's the official Barbie page for Japan. Click around for several movie clips, BarbieLand, or a Selfie generator.


They had a couple of cheap Barbies for sale at the cinema. I think I'll just make do with my Captain Barbie and First officer Ken. (Or is it the other way around?)


No other merchandise that I really wanted though I did pick up some Tape for my collector friend.



Apart from the above Star Trek pair, I've never been a collector of Barbie. My sister had several over the years and with three older brothers, they definitely turned into Weird Barbies afterwards. 


My mom used to make bootleg Barbie clothes to sell at the Church bazaars, and they sold out every time. I didn't dress up for the cinematic experience (I don't own any pink) although I did bring this umbrella but didn't get to show it off cuz it stopped raining.



Just to show support for the lead actress, I did wear my Harley Quinn socks.


Speaking of Harley, I'm enjoying the new season of her cartoon and I just happened to photograph several of the figures I've collected since Suicide Squad.












And a few of her Bat-pals.



Since this is a Warner Bros. picture, here's the Barbified logo.


I recently purchased some Bugs Bunny Clear Files that celebrate the Bros. 100th Anniversary. Here are a few mash-ups.





I like that last one a lot. Here is Betty Boop in a similar tribute.


Speaking of Bugs, I almost gave away my Looney Tune stuffed characters at a recent Festival. I decided to hang on to them for a little longer.



So, bottom line. Go see Barbie! It's a ton of fun...
