These two figures have been celebrated by whole societies, replicated, and adored. Icons of the chest, their shape shaped the minds of their devoted fans for generations. At once larger than life and easy to grasp, these feminine forces of power held sway over the imaginations of the masses.
But we’re only talking about one of them this ep, you’ll have to check out the next episode for the other one.
Barbie, queen of the dolls, has a history that isn’t all that long. Most know how Barbie got her start but do you know about her more recent history and the detours and missteps she took before Margot Robbie wore the iconic black and white bathing suit and brought Barbie’s sparkling perfect pink world to life on the big screen.
Joined by a first time special guest, Jessica and her co-host talk about some must-read book recommendations, food nicknames for mammary glands (hey, should that have been one of them?), school subjects, and some of the more recent history of Barbie. Get a sneak peek into the mind of a Gen Z American teenager on what she feels about history, school, body image, and social pressures, pop culture, Barbie dolls, politics, and facing the state of the world today as a high school senior.
The extras in Patreon are a doozy this time! We had a lot of chatter that showed off our ADHD, Evangeline is trying to bring back “rad” (the 1970s called and asked for their slang back) and “huzza” (Hello Shakespeare, is that you?) and we talk more about why we like the Barbie movie, conversation about makeup including how Jessica responds to her 8 yr old’s self-expression with makeup, more talk about Shakespeare, and randomness that we just don’t have the room to list here.
