If you are like most women and young girls who have owned or own a Barbie or two (and a Ken), then Barbie's "new body" is interesting news. Just for the record, we loved our Barbie just the way she was, but that was a long time ago! And to be honest most of us in The Conversation Circle, who owned Barbies, weren't so discerning about her body, (just getting a Barbie was a big deal) and the message it was sending. So it's good news that Mattel has issued three new Barbie body types, (reports are the changes were made to halt the brand's declining sales and criticism from parents) curvy, tall and petite. Hats off to this new generation of parents and girls who are affecting change. Looks like Barbie's "back in touch".
"On The Shoulders of Giants" is a great film to see in light of recent developments in the NBA. The film was written by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (also the executive producer) and Anna Waterhouse. The film was released on February 11, 2011.
In Memoriam There are those in the media who are gripping about the "stars" or well know performers who were left out of Oscars 2018 " In Memoriam ". We think the focus was on the behind the scenes people and lesser known performers who also contribute the magic of making movies. Lots of attention was devoted in the media to the passing of Adam West (we went on endlessly in social media about West) as we grew and Glen Campbell , but the award show is being slammed for not including them. We ask, how much attention did the media give to the people who were included?
