Author Gina Birch and Diana Beasley

It seems as if the entire world is going pink in advance of the new Barbie movie. It opens Friday, July 21st. Bars are offering pink cocktails, resorts are offering Barbie vacations, and the merchandise is over the top. Barbie and Ken are arguably one of the world’s most famous couples, giving some in Hollywood a run for their money. The online gaming/entertainment site Casino.Org decided to have a little fun with artificial intelligence in advance of the movie. They’ve put together some fun collages of your favorite celebrity couples reimagined as Barbie and Ken.

The nostalgia of Barbie and Ken

I loved Barbie’s growing up. I not only had the dolls, but also coveted accessories such as the Barbie Townhouse and the Barbie Airplane. Of course I had dreamboat Ken and many of Barbie’s friends like Skipper. In addition, I had a case full of Barbie’s clothes and even tried to make my own. Several years ago, when cleaning out the closet of my childhood bedroom, I came across my treasured Barbie case. It brought back a flood of memories.

My Barbie case from childhood

I can’t wait to get together with some of my girlfriends, dress in pink and go to the Barbie movie. Is it silly? Maybe. Mindless? Perhaps. But not all movies are meant to change the world. Some are meant to give us a break from the mundane, from the negative news our space is flooded with, to bring us back to our childhood, to make us smile. I’m hoping this movie does that. I for one plan on busting out my hot pink lipstick and pink pumps. However, I’ll leave the dolls at home.

In the meantime, we are having a little fun with AI.

Margot, Ryan and More: The 5 Hottest 'Barbie' Red Carpet Looks

The cast of Greta Gerwig’s Barbie took a trip across the pond last night (July 12) for the European premiere in London. As always, the titular star, played by Margot Robbie, blessed us fashion lovers with more Barbie-inspired recreations. Her castmates have had a fantastic run so far as well, playing up the color schemes of the movie and pulling out all the fashion stops. With the commitment to fashion running this deep, we don’t ever want the press tours and premieres to ever end.

The film, which debuts in theaters on July 21, features an ensemble cast including Ryan Gosling, Will Ferrell, Issa Rae, America Ferrera, Michael Cera, Emma Mackey, Kate McKinnon, Dua Lipa, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Scott Evans, Hari Nef, Simu Liu, and Ncuti Gatwa. The movie’s soundtrack is just as star-studded, featuring tracks from Charli XCX, Tame Impala, Ice Spice, Lizzo, Pinkpantheress, The Kid LAROI, and Haim. Billie Eilish is the latest artist to be added to the soundtrack with the single “What Was I Made For?” Billie wrote on Instagram that Gerwig showed her and her brother/producer Finneas a handful of unfinished scenes from the film. With no expectations, the Grammy winner said they were “so deeeeeply moved,” and the next day, they were writing almost the entire song.
