"Challenge: you tell me why you're a feminist and I'll do your dare on my ig story..."
Today, I scheduled and prepped all my challenge posts for the coming weeks. I decided that they would all be shot in my bathroom (most flattering lighting), with ig's "Y2k Webcam" filter (by @aznprydeonline), and be posted with Aqua's "Barbie Girl" playing in the back. I take a lot of stylistic inspiration from the 2000's because those were my formative years as a young girl. I LOVED the song "Barbie Girl" growing up. The hyperfeminine European dance-pop vibes really did it for me. Took me a couple of years to understand the lyrics behind the bouncy catchy tune.
"You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere"
''Dress me up, make it tight, I'm your dolly"
"You can touch, You can play, If you say, "I'm always yours" (ooh, oh)"
"Make me walk, make me talk, do whatever you please, I can act like a star, I can beg on my knees"
Wikipedia further informs me that "In December 2000, Mattel, the manufacturer of the Barbie doll, sued MCA Records, Aqua's record label. Mattel claimed that 'Barbie Girl' violated their trademark and turned her into a sex object, referring to her as a 'Blonde Bimbo'." Anyways, this song was a good fit here.
