Feel Good Friday: Kenneth Choi (I'm Just Ken)

Happy Friday!

I think you can never get enough good cheer or feel good moments which is why I had to post this video of actor Kenneth Choi. It's his fun take on the "I'm Just Ken" song from the Barbie movie (which by the way is a really good movie, if you're wondering whether to see it).

Video: WGA Barbie (Katie J. Stone)

The Writers' Strike is now in its 11th week and I commend the writers for continuing to fight for a better contract and with constantly creating fun and interesting strike themes. I love this Barbie theme strike that was during the Hollywood premiere of the Barbie movie. And WGA Barbie (writer Katie J. Stone) is right, the writers are the ones who create all the fun things we love watching.

As much as I can't wait to see the Barbie movie, it's more important that the writers get the pay they deserve.

Trailer: Barbie

Gorgeously shot and looking absolutely ridiculous (but in a totally good way), this Barbie movie looks like it's going to be so much fun. I love a good wacky zany movie and I just know it's also going to be a total fashion inspiration. I can already imagine all the various pink outfits and looks that will be inspired by this movie.

Anyway, back to this trailer, it looks like they tried to make each of the characters very distinct to reflect the wide range of backgrounds and experiences of the many different versions of the Barbie and Ken dolls. I really like that especially as someone who has a relatively large collection of a variety of Barbie and Ken dolls. The Barbie movie will be released in theatres on Friday, July 21st.

Description:

To live in Barbie Land is to be a perfect being in a perfect place. Unless you have a full-on existential crisis. Or you're a Ken.

Teaser Trailer: Barbie movie

This truly is a teaser trailer because it's not showing anything that will let you know what this Barbie movie is about. I hope it'll be a fun movie, it's certainly colorful. I'm a Barbie fan, I have collected plenty of dolls over the years and I'm actually really looking forward to seeing this movie even though I have no idea what it's about.

Who Wore It Best? Ken, Fred Jones or Evan Buckley

I was looking at the promo picture of Ken from the upcoming Barbie movie and this is certainly a look. It has a very 80s meets 90s feel to it. Ken's look definitely makes me think of sand, surf and coconut oil.

Taking in the overly blond hair, it made me think of two other blond guys, Fred Jones from the live-action Scooby-Doo movies and Evan "Buck" Buckley with his temporary blond hair in a flashback scene on 9-1-1. I couldn't help wondering Who Wore It Best. So, I created a fun little poll, I wanted to see who you think had the better blond look: Ken, Fred or Buck?
