Getting My Barbiecore On

Have you heard of the Barbiecore trend?

Well...

Did you know that I was a Barbie designer back in the day?

It's true!
Back then, I didn't wear much pink.

Roxanne and I attended the opening of a Barbie x Mark Ryden collabaration and we went in Pink (as one does).

We stood in line for TWO HOURS!

Crazy!

Once (finally) inside, we saw all the wonderful creations:

"Visible Barbie" concept sketch, not produced

"Nature Queen"

 

I am obsessed with "Bee Barbie" [BarBee haha]
Note that Ken is a snail in the background graphic

As well as the Barbie Bee Brooch, which I'm going to get.

Mattel made a one-off Mark Ryden doll!

Some super fans:

They are examining the ginormous life size Nature Queen

I think I'll go back one more time, at night when I can take better photos, and won't have to wait on line.

For December’s Good Buy/Good-Bye Book, Shelbee and Nancy are featuring Hot Pink (or Barbiecore).
Send them your Pinkest best! See the bottom of Shelbee's post for instructions.
