One of the best things about the Barbie movie was that incredible set—Barbie’s Dreamhouse come to life. I loved it! Imagine living in a matriarchal society in your own pink mini-palace—with all your friends nearby—under permanently sunny skies? The only thing I would add is a larger pool. I’d want to be able to swim laps at my dream house.

I’m with Ryan Gosling and everyone else who “could not be more disappointed” that Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie didn’t get Oscar nominations for directing and acting. I’m counting on Barbie pulling off an upset win for Best Picture. I want to see Greta up there getting the last award of the night.

What a house, and I’d want the bigger pool too, Mary. I’m also with you that Greta and Margo should’ve been nominated. I think Margot played a perfect stereotypical barbie. She was gorgeous! By the way, Amy emailed me saying that you referred her to me to get some advice about having a poetry blog. Before I respond, I want to confirm this. 🙂

Hi Lauren, yes. Amy is a wonderful emerging poet and I thought you might have some advice for her. (I hope that’s ok) Her blog is: It’sAmyISaid

That’s fine, Mary. I get a lot of junk emails too, so I wanted to make sure that hers was legit. I’m no expert, but I’ll try to help her. 🙂
