  1. Toxicities and phobias aside, from what I've seen from the previews Barbieland is not for me. Seems like a cute kids movie though. And Oppenheimer is like 3 hours long. I'd wait for the Netflix DVD but that's done so maybe when it streams.

  2. Christmas 1963, the two guys I shared an apartment with in Boston gave me a plastic toy Hot Rod with Barbie in a swimsuit sitting at the wheel. The cashier at SEARS objected the doll didn't go with the car but one of the guys sweet talked and later dated her.
    I had bragging rights to actually owning a Barbie doll but never used that to bolster my resume.
    She became the property of the trash-man.
