Barbie's not just coming to a theater near you ....

I’ve dressed in shades of pink for around 30 years - I love it, and it suits me and my personality. Since the breast cancer & chemo baldness, it’s a more regular statement colour, since I have more Cancer Support functions most weeks. 
All this week, I’ve had to explain to people I’m NOT doing ‘Barbie’; I’m supporting breast cancer initiatives. 
Will have to include orange for Bowel Cancer, and purple for Reproductive Cancers.  

ETA: I should add that I celebrate my 2-yrs old now-shoulder-length (grey) hair by wearing sparkly headbands, glittery scrunchies, and sequinned or pearl tiaras or crown headbands. My D calls me ‘Princess’ anyway, so I’m living up to it.  My Cancer Sisters group also all celebrate recovery/new life in colourful ways, so imagine a bunch of 40-50 colourful older women in shades of pink & red trailed by a dozen colourful blokes - and you’ll really wonder about Barbie & Ken!! 

I watched a home design show which had a Barbie house challenge. My mother was a fan of pink I stay firmly entrenched in black although Maplewoodstock had me yearning to buy a tie-dye t-shirt which would match my gardening clogs.

I saw an obnoxious Progressive Insurance TV ad with an explicit tie-in to the movie. I’m never sure what these tie-in  ad campaigns are supposed to do. I like Barbie so I’ll change my car insurance?

Does it come with a toy like a Happy Meal? If so, I'm in.

Spending today in my sparkly pink tiara, and going out for celebration lunch: oh dear, more people thinking I’m Barbie-mad 

(No, just Princess-for-a-day)
