Happy National Barbie Doll Day

Nordic German propaganda? OH MY!!!!

Throw on some Avenged Sevenfold or Aqua — because today, March 9, is National Barbie Day! In 1959, an 11-inch-tall German bombshell [adult toy Kewpie doll named Bild-Lilli*] made her debut at the American International Toy Fair in New York.

Designed by Ruth Handler, the co-founder of Mattel Inc., Barbie was created to allow girls to imagine what their lives could be like in the [feminist] future.

I was born to be the real life Barbie.

She’s had a slew of careers, from registered nurse to astronaut. And she’s done it all with a companion, usually a fembot boytoy called Ken.

Barbie was a single lady for all of two years. But in 1961, overwhelming demand caused Handler to release a boyfriend for her — a softly gendered Ken boy.

(The verdict’s out if he’s ever going to put a ring on it so we can have a Matrimonial White Wedding Barbie and a dangerous Divorced Barbie with seething contempt for the patriarch who put her on the path to homemaker when she was doing so well in the world).

On National Barbie Day, pink-blooded Americans celebrate all things Barbie.

History of National Barbie Day

Hey, White Grrl, need some hairspray?

Barbie is simply iconic. There is nothing that comes close to the spectrum of emotions that are conjured by the girl doll. She is perceived uniquely, of course, by every individual who has ever played with her or owned a clone of her as a slave owner might possess a coveted piece of plastic to sell later for profit. What are we teaching kids?

Yah, I vuz made 4 German men

Barbie was inspired by Lilli, a German adult doll, which had sexy and misogynistic attributes and had a more “adult” appeal.

• Original German vintage Bild Lilli Hausser pre-Barbie

From this brutish idea, the co-founder of Mattel toy company Ruth Handler became inspired to create a doll who was a grown woman.

Mexican Conquest Barbie

It had been in 1956, while on vacation with her family, that Handler first came across the adult sex symbol Lilli doll. She noticed how enamored her 15-year-old daughter Barbara (Babs, Barb, Barbie) was.

Before the creation of capitalist bonanza Barbie, most dolls were either infantilized babies or children. Handler’s vision was to create a doll that had a grown female’s anatomy without all the naughty bits children have been searching for ever since under her and Ken's cute outfits. More

Most beautiful girl in world is Black

Symmetry, lips, eyes, supreme complexion...

At just three years old, she was called “the most beautiful girl in the world.” Here’s what she looks like now at 17.

 At just 10-years-old, she was given the title “the most beautiful girl in the world.” Many years later, many believe that description still fits her.

 

While many young girls dream of entering beauty competitions and taking home crowns, she gained worldwide attention without competing in any beauty pageants.

Her captivating look drew modeling agencies to her from an early age. With piercing blue eyes, long hair, a confident gaze, and full lips, she was labeled “the most beautiful girl in the world” before she even turned 10.

In 2010, she appeared in a controversial spread for Vogue that sparked debate about makeup use and the early sexualization of young girls.

It's all about their beauty and our money, right?

She also appeared on the covers of Teen Vogue and Jalouse [which emphasized her math skills, test scores, nerdy habits, and thoughtful opinions on contemporary societal issues...uh, no, they just cared about her looks, too].

• When she was 3 years old, she was named the most beautiful girl in the world

Question: Russell J. Taeza

Dear Venerables: 🙏 (*anjali mudra*). Thank you in advance 😍 for your time and guidance. 😇 In the sutras (Pali canon discourses), it is said that karma (our store of deeds) affects how we are reborn, that is to say, beautiful/ugly, wise/dull, wealthy/poor.

I have developed confidence in the Buddha’s Teaching from my own personal observations. Now, as far as my practice has taken me, from the observation of my own mind/heart, I’ve seen how this could be: EMOTIONS affect my physical appearance, particularly my facial features.

Bright feelings brighten the complexion.

I’ve observed just how the heart/mind feels when it is feeding on joy (piti) derived from kindness, compassion, and generosity. That to me is what the Buddha meant by wealth and beauty: The mind being bright, our next rebirth, our new physical form and character will tend to be pleasing.

Emotions project outward through our facial, speech, and bodily expressions so that everyone experiences them.

The real danger I find is the mind getting overcome by negative emotions. Negative emotions can become deeply ingrained when one hasn’t developed enough mindful awareness of them.

Don't tell me to "smile," Russell!!!

For example, I have a friend whose life outlook isn’t that great; negativity is so ingrained in her mind that she doesn’t notice it at all anymore. I’ve tried my best to uplift her world view but with no luck at all.

Now to me, this is what the Buddha meant by ugliness and being poor, the mind clouded, on the next birth, the new physical form and characteristics tends to be just mediocre and at worst unpleasant (not pleasing).

Don't tell me what to do, Russell. Do you, Boo.

Would it be right view, right understanding, to say that the mind, with its accumulated characteristics from previous deeds (karma), is the forming and conditioning force behind the physical body at rebirth?

This brings to memory a sutra in which the Buddha refers to the physical body as past karma. Have I approached this teaching and contemplated it correctly?

With gratitude (katanyu) 🙏, Russell

Dear Russell: That’s an interesting point you are making, and there may well be much truth to it. Our mind is certainly powerful, and its influence is enormous. However, I think there is a tendency for people to think of the results of karma [vipaka, phala, karmic results and fruits] too much in physical terms, such as one’s physical appearance or one’s wealth.

But the really important issue is one’s mental life, and it is this that karma is really all about. We do good things and we feel good. The result is a rebirth where we feel good. Part of this can be physical factors, since there is obviously some degree of happiness to be derived from good material circumstances.

But we all know of cases of people who are wealthy have miserable lives, including depression and all sorts of personal problems. If we are truly depressed, how much use is our wealth to us? With metta. Source

A butchering factory floor: fancy call center

A pig-butchering scam (Chinese 杀猪盘, sha zhu pan [2] or shazhupan [3], literally "killing pig game")[1] is a type of online scam where victims [usually men on dating sites] are encouraged to make increasing financial contributions over a long period, usually in the form of cryptocurrency [4].

Such scams are commonplace on social media and dating apps [5] and often involve elements of catfishing (fictitious online persona scam), investment fraud, and romance scams.

Romance scam: too good to be true

The scammer (usually not the person one is communicating with but people behind her) builds trust with victims through online communication, subsequently persuading them to invest in a fraudulent cryptocurrency scheme.

The "butchering" or "slaughtering" of the victims transpires when their assets or funds are stolen [6], taking them for all they're worth.

Porn recovery: Mia Khalifa (BBC)

"I feel like I've lost all rights to my privacy": Mia Khalifa | The Conversation | BBC News India

(BBC News India) This interview first aired on BBC Hard Talk in Sept. 2019. Born to a conservative Arab family from Lebanon, Mia Khalifa (who is a Catholic Christian and has never been Muslim) attained worldwide fame and notoriety with her brief stint (12 shoots in total) in the porn industry.

In the interview with Stephen Sackur (who is honest enough to admit he himself has watched porn), she opens up about how she thought her participation would be a personal secret, the exploitative nature of the modern porn industry, and how it changed her life for the worse.

Religious and political views

Esteem: I'm beautiful, but I didn't know it.

In 2015, Khalifa stated that she was no longer a practicing Catholic [20]. She has a tattoo of the opening line of the National Anthem of Lebanon in Arabic [1] and a tattoo of the Lebanese Forces Cross, which she said was to "show solidarity with [her] father's political views" following a 2012 bombing.

She told Newsweek that critics have claimed that her tattoos were disgracing Lebanon [18]. Khalifa is an active Twitter user. In 2021, she criticized U.S. military aid to [genocidal] Israel [39] and called Israel an "apartheid state," which sparked backlash online [40].

During the Oct. 7th retribution on Israel [for decades of worsening oppression], Khalifa tweeted, "If you can look at the situation in Palestine and not be on the side of Palestinians, then you are on the wrong side of apartheid and history will show that in time."

In another tweet, she wrote "Can someone please tell the freedom fighters in Palestine to flip their phones and film horizontal" [41][42].

She later said that her comments were not an endorsement of violence and that she intended to highlight the need for Palestinian freedom:

I'm a video podcaster in 2019.

"I just want to make it clear...I specifically said freedom fighters because that's what the Palestinian citizens are...fighting for freedom every day [41].

Following this, capitalist porn corporation Playboy ended its podcasting deal with Khalifa, calling her comments "disgusting and reprehensible" [41][42][43].

Khalifa later tweeted: "I'd say supporting Palestine has lost me business opportunities, but I'm more angry at myself for not checking whether or not I was entering into business with Zionists. My bad"[41]. More

Incest: Trump molested daughter Ivanka?

Seven things I hate about being hot

Katty Purry: I'm the hottest, sexiest, most charming popstar there will ever be!

I'll let my body do my talking for me, and I don't need to claim anything (Emy/unsplash.com).

Old, rich, and hot? It's a dream come true

(Christine Stevens) I know, it sounds pretty lame, this title. But just today someone wrote an article:

“Hot people complain about the ‘horrible experience’ of being good-looking” is the title of this article written by Alex Mitchell, who is a guy -- not exactly a hot guy either. I don’t mean to be judgy, but go ahead, look him up.

He probably really hates hot women because they have failed to respond to his particular brand of erudition, working for this great newspaper called The New York Post. Yeah, it’s pro-Trump.

That was his subtitle, not mine: “What a pity to be pretty.”

And even though he called his article “Hot people,” the entirety of the article focuses on, surprise-surprise, hot women.

Did the Buddha by any chance teach people how to become more beautiful? - Yes. Karma.

Yesterday's "hot" is "meh" today, and they don't even have that! It's gone, so it's on to the next...

.

Yoga is the way to health and hotness

He doesn’t get into how hard it is to be a hot guy — because maybe it’s not that hard. I don’t know.

So here are the things Alex Mitchell, dripping with resentment, writes about “pitiful” hot women and their travails:

— People assume they are dumb because they are hot.

Shush. Maybe it's all in the eye of the beholder.

— Married women think hot women are after their husbands. (Really? I had no idea that was a thing -- mate poaching?) More:
