Barbie one of us, the perfect blonde in quarantine - Lifestyle

A hyper realistic sample of all the obsessions and habits collected during the quarantine months but in Barbie format. So the most loved doll ever made her debut in the tragic world of imprisonment due to Covid thanks to the pop genius of Tonya Ruiz, a former Californian grandmother fan of the plastic blonde to whom she dedicated an Instagram profile (@grandmagetsreal but as a blogger she is known as @ barbiegetsreal).
    The doll has always been an icon of perfection, elegance, and American mulberry canon all long legs, blonde and flowing hair and blue eyes, thanks to "grandmother" Ruiz arrives at a home version, quite desperate but adequately ironic, declined in the many versions in which quarantine forced us. Each quarantined Barbie is designed by Ruiz with its kit of gadgets, clothes, accessories exactly like any self-respecting set and is immortalized in photos already viral on the web.
    Eleven shots summarize the segregated life of the Covid days. It starts with the Quarantine Starter Pack, a Barbie struggling with the first days of unexpected freedom from work and school commitments, almost enthusiastic, surrounded by fried donuts, chips, nutella jars, glossy magazines, crossword puzzles and sweets. All hypercalories already visible on a rounder doll but still relaxed and dirty with chocolate. Euphoric and full of hope is also the Barbie "Quarantine New hobby edition", still shining and hopeful, with her guitar, the kit for knitting or painting, the recipe for "a real apple pie". And speaking of cake, there is the version suffered for bread making, naturally dirty with flour, not very glamorous and already immersed in the home dimension, equipped with large quantities of bread, cakes, eggs, yeast and sugar.
    The desserts, rigorously packaged, are not lacking even in the "Binge watching" version, that is the forced Netflix and zapping. Inevitable neuroses also brought by disabilities like the "What time is it? Edition", a Barbie already with dark circles that no longer recognizes the day from the night and in fact has with him a coffee machine, an alarm clock and even a pajamas for the day and one for the night, a glass of warm milk to fight insomnia. Creams, hair dyes, nail polishes of all colors and beauty caskets for the Home Salon Edition, uncultivated and unmade, wrapped in a faded bathrobe with visible trichological traces. Do not miss the mother struggling with distance learning with three children in tow, books, pc but also "tons of anti-wrinkle creams, wine but hair dye is not included".
    Ken appears instead in Zoom version with shirt and tie but boxer and rigorously Apple devices, as if to underline that the quarantine has tragically perpetuated and accentuated the traditional roles so as to result in a "Quarelling couple" edition, that is a couple who quarrels, two Barbie and Ken reproaching the many house cleaners to do.
    And finally a tribute to the heroes of the pandemic: a Barbie nurse with a plate of lungs, a stethoscope, a mask and the garbage collector with his recycling bins.
    "I have always wanted to do Barbie parodies - Tonya explained to an American magazine - I had seen him do it at The Ellen DeGeneresShow. So when the quarantine began I thought I could make a Barbie like me, with leggings but a little curvy and busy eating snacks, because that was exactly what I was doing. " Then the many versions of these months of obsessions, neuroses, good intentions, disillusions. Resembling a Barbie thanks to Tonya Ruiz is now no longer so difficult. (ANSA).
