I Wanted To Be Like Barbie. But Now It Makes No Sense



I grew up people calling me a replica of Barbie. When I was 6, I owned just one but promised myself to buy more when I start earning. Now 20-something and 3 years of fat pay cheques later, Barbie never really appeared on my shopping list.

1.    Because my sense prevailed with age.
2.    Investing in food sounded better to me.

The iconic doll celebrated her 60th birthday on March 9, 2019, and what surprised me, was that unlike every year, I completely forgot her birthday this time. Well, it's alright! After all, Barbie is not an inspiration to me anymore and shouldn't be for any of us.

36-18-33
That’s Barbie's vital statistics. Well, I am not even sure how that unusually lean body can store all the organs. Though what I am sure about is, that Mattel, the manufacturer, surely left her stomach out (hence, that figure). FYI, the stomach is probably the most important organ for me.


Now follow the lyrics of the classic Barbie Girl song.

I'm a Barbie girl, in the Barbie world
Life in plastic, it's fantastic
You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere
Imagination, life is your creation

Undress me everywhere? Okay, that means Barbie is basically into 50 Shades of Grey. No problem. But why is she okay to do it everywhere?

Unlike Barbie, I do have a “real” job
...which means I deal with real struggles, we all do. Barbie has more than 200 careers on her resume. She is a Doctor, Astronaut, Computer Engineer and a Journalist BUT her job responsibilities only include looking good and flashing that constipated smile, whereas, my job responsibilities include working, making mistakes to make it easier for my boss to yell at me, sobbing in the washroom, and guilt-eating at the end of the day. No wonder Barbie always has that fixed smile and that 14-inch waist.

Ken, her boyfriend
He is stylish, has parlour-finished hair, and is popular among girls and guys alike. The traits that every and only a teen would love (well, that's what I am guessing). But if you look carefully, he looks gay, or maybe...like a potential flirt.


CONCLUSION

Given a choice, I would any day choose (to watch) other interesting dolls like Annabelle or Chucky who at least do some exciting actions on-screen rather than riding ponies.

The funny side of the horror movies!

The horror movies scare us but still we watch them for excitement and the supernatural concept. I really love watching Hollywood horror movies and some of the Bollywood horror movies. I am sure that most of you people also love them. But after watching a horror movie today, I realized that more or less, most of the Hollywood horror movies are the same. Don’t second me on that? Okay, I will give you reasons to second me! Most of the Hollywood horror movie starts with a happy couple, their kids and their dog moving into a new house. And where is this ‘new house’ they are moving into? An already haunted looking big house which is away from the civilization (I got you from the first point only). The house already looks scary but the family moves in anyway. I am right, right? Well, wait till I remind you that the family dog is always the first one to suspect that there’s something wrong with the house. The dog barks persistently but in vain. The happy family sees no wrong i

Cinderella trolled!(Boys can also read this)

Dear Cinderella, You are the most beautiful and the most prominent Disney princess ever. So popular that,more or less even the boys know you and your story. I remember how much I wanted to be like you when I was a child because I could relate to your dreams(not life). But as now I have grown up, I kind of hate everything about you and everything that has been shown in your story. No, I don't hate you now just like that..I have got reasons. Well, first of all let me tell you that you lack that self respect which I expect to see in a girl. Your cruel step-mother and step sisters mistreated you to the extent. But what you did? You happily became the maid of the house. Oh please Cinderella,you totally gave the wrong message. You taught us that let cruel people show their atrocity on you. Wrong message. Secondly, you behave so nicely with your step mother and step sisters even after all they do is treat you badly and make you work. What's the need of being so good t
