Barbiecore

 I recently saw a brand-new trend going on when I see people putting up their doll sets on ChatGPT.

I find it interesting to see what the dolls include in them. A table flip, basketball, or something that resonates with them. 

And it was fascinating that I have to check it out myself. 

The trend started from a TikTok user who used the #barbiecore from ChatGPT then posted on TikTok. 
(see how things intertwine with each other?) and the post went viral. People are posting everywhere on Socials. 

I saw this blow up when I was going on Facebook. Kids, remember Facebook? 

Anyways, and one of the posts came to be a box, with a bunch of stuff. For example, Barbara Corcoran (one of the judges from Shark Tank) posted this on Instagram. 

The box included; Crown, Keys, red lipstick, a shark toy, a hanging badge to put your phone in and money bags. 

This was crazy. I could not believe how many people would post their own variations; basketball players, politicians, Real Housewives, and everyone alike. 

If its something I can relate to regarding this; it'll be the ongoing trend of 'Barbiecore' and the interest from the movie in 2023. 

When 'Barbie' came out, I remember it was everywhere. The stores were packed with Barbie Merchandise, on social media; brands were all dressed in pink, and even streaming their songs like: 'What Was I Made For?' by Billie Eilish and 'Dance The Night' by Dua Lipa.

Myself included, I watched it with friends, and alone for five times. Once was the first time alone watching it. It was really good! Loved the scenes, the music they used. 

The Barbie Box I found at the Theatre below, and the dates on which I watched Barbie, lol.

July 21st - when I watched Barbie for the first time.


Sometime in July: I watched Barbie waiting for somebody at the theatre. 


July 26th - I watched Barbie with my friend. We took several pics, but I like this one. 

Sometime in July: I watched it once more with my friend and her sister (because they promised me once they got back).

August 11th - a screenshot of the movie Barbie that me and my friend watched - again....



Sometime in 2024: I worked for a theatre that was playing Barbie. 

But back to the #barbiecore trend, do you think its something that will last long, or will die down?

2024

As 2024 draws to a close, I want to wish everyone love this Holiday Season.  This year, I had been hit with several rejections, failures, and breakable moments. Some of wish I'll share below.  I remember coming into this year with hopefulness, glee and the excitement for whats to come. The place I'll go, the people I'll meet and other things that excite me.  That wasn't the case this year. I took out a loan from a loaner company back in 2023, because I needed to pay off the expenses from that year; food, vacations, etc. I had this mindset of 'You only live once, live it while you're young'. That mentality cost me everything. I took out a personal loan thinking I'll pay it all back with the amount they'll give me.  After looking at my bank accounts, I realized I needed to do something about it.   Also, the anxiety of telling your parents and loved ones, confessing to this situation and releasing all the tension and scarcity is painful. Not realizing t...

Ella Clarens "The Come Up"

Ella Clarens is a great friend of mine who we used to work at Nordstrom in 2021.  Oddly enough, we met at different departments, she was working at a different department and I was working as a Holiday Village - creating custom-made Santa bags, selling ornaments, replenishing items, and don't get me started on how many gift wrappings we would need to do by December 24th. It was insane!  I met her because when my department wasn't busy, I usually talk with her about life, work, and her passions.  Picture from: Freddy from Ego Eros Studios Lately, I found out that she is also a musician who released a couple of songs, "ELLANATION", "BIRTHDAY PARTY", and in December 2021, "ICONIC".  Nowadays, she writes her own newsletter which talks about her music, life and her past as a reporter for the Calgary Herald. Also, she spotlights on different people from around Toronto, showcasing talent and interviewing people.  Sign up for her newsletter here:  https://...

First Electric Streetcar in Canada

On May 3rd, I wanted to check out this wonderful (and free!) Museum with a coffee shop nearby, and you would not believe where the first Canadian Electric Streetcar took place in.  Windsor, Ontario. Yes, Windsor, Ontario was the first-ever Electric streetcars that we 'in-use' in Canada. This was back in the mid-1800s, more specifically in 1886.  First Electric Streetcar in Canada Once the city decided to refurbish the vintage streetcars that were used, they coated in fresh paint, updated signs; hanging billboards that were used back in the 60's, and all signs and keep maintenance at bay. They were focusing on making it, not only keeping it looking like a nostalgic piece of work, they tried to innovate the streetcar.  They placed it on a track, with heavy equipment and careful delicacy to ensure the parts are kept in pace, they can reopen it in for all Windsorites (aka city of Windsor citizens) and the rest of the world to open. Me with the streetcar The background behind ...
