Hi, Barbie!
If you haven’t seen enough of it on TikTok and Twitter, the Barbie movie starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling premieres this weekend in theaters around the country. Mattel’s beloved fashion doll has been inspiring kids to play and dream big since 1959. Over her 60-plus-year career, Barbie has had more than 200 jobs from attorney to doctor to astronaut to rap musician. She’s about to add “movie star” to her résumé with a new flick that’s projected to rake in a blockbuster $110 million this weekend, so it definitely couldn’t hurt to throw on some of your best pink attire and lipstick and celebrate!
And what better way to fuel that childhood nostalgia (and general curiosity for how good the movie might actually be) than by attending some totally fantastic Barbie-themed events? Here’s a short list of some of the Barbie fun you Ken find around the Queen City.
Barbie Party at Adventure Club
Looking to celebrate the Barbie movie premiere for free? Look no further than Adventure Club’s Ultimate Friday Night Destination brought to you by Cleanstreets and DJ Zap. Admission to this event is free, though a spot does need to be reserved. And remember, this is Barbie we’re talking about—show up wearing your best Barbie-esque attire. That means pink is highly encouraged.
