I’m less bothered by the unibrow than I am by the body proportions on all of them (especially the frighteningly thin arms).

Three. Kahlo celebrated features - a heavy monobrow and upper lip hair - that are socially unacceptable for women. That defiance of convention and expectation on women, is a huge part of her legacy. And Mattel thinks they can just skate on that because it doesn’t fit the Barbie aesthetic? Fuck that.
Some of it may have to do with Frida Kahlo’s political leanings — she joined the Mexican Communist Party in 1927, and now her image is being monetised for a large corporation’s profit. I’m not horrified or astonished by this but the irony is somewhat wry and unpleasant. What’s next? An Emma Goldman Barbie?
Hardly. Any self respecting Frida fan knows she celebrated the beauty of her differences as an act of self love, something more of us should emulate. As opposed to the Mattel/Hollywood idea that every woman must look like a Barbie to be beautiful. Unrealistic and boring as hell.
I would be overwhelmed if I tried to count how many friends and friends of friends on my FB have posted and/or commented on posts stating how fucked up this is and how Mattel should be ashamed of themselves and redesign the doll. I personally think they should include a wheel chair and darken her skin tone, as they I…
Three of us. It is a huge iconic image and important to many POCs for many different reasons.
Yes. Harvey Weinstein also tried to get rid of it when the movie was being made. You know, because Frida needed to be hot.
Yes. It’s her defining feature, and she emphasized it in all of her self portraits.
“Grain of salt here, but Hope Hicks is reportedly about to REALLY cash in on her time with Trump.”
The EU has just announced that if the US imposes tariffs on imports of steel and aluminium, there will be retaliatory tariffs on Harley-Davidson (Wisconsin - bye bye! Scott Walker), bourbon (seeya GOP) and US-made jeans.
The fact that nothing will be done about DACA or gun control is disappointing but hopefully this motivates democrats to go out and vote in the midterms. I just voted in my primary here in Texas. Most of the races were uncontested in my district or there will be a clear winner for the candidacy but it does not matter.…
I know it’s petty, but I quite enjoy the thought of his veins bulging as he watches Baldwin playing him.
That Alec Baldwin tweet throws me off a bit. I know the original that had “Dying” spelled as “Dieing” was deleted. I can only assume a staffer wrote the second by the copious use of commas.
Next year: “Asian land wars are good, and easy to win,”
One month after giving birth I was still on the gigantic maternity pads for postpartum bleeding/lochia. #theglamorouslife.
I’m very shocked he had jewish, black, and female employees. He already apparently freaked out about Jewish kids attending school with his.
Not to be missed in all this completely unexpected news, InfoWars Human Resources dept. is helmed by...David Jones. Alex’s father. Motherfucker’s HR is his own dad. I mean, actually, I guess in this case his dad’s the motherfucker? Whatever. I don’t care. In conclusion, these guys suck.
