Barbie Exhibition at Musee des Arts décoratifs (Paris) March 10 – September 18, 2016

From the moment Barbie was introduced to the world, a fashion icon was born. Since her debut in 1959, Barbie has served as a model and muse to the most world renowned names in fashion and the arts. She provides the ultimate canvas for their imaginations, to identify and play out their dreams. Today, she continues to be at the center of pop culture, reflecting the times and inspiring conversation.

In 2016, Barbie is being honoured by museums around the world including the Musee des Arts décoratifs in Paris, paying tribute to this iconic doll whose story has made an indelible mark on the socio-cultural history of toys in the 20th and 21st Centuries. Drawing on Mattel archives which include over 700 dolls and work by contemporary artists and designers, the exhibition highlights the historical heritage of Barbie for both adults and children. More than just a toy, Barbie has mirrored a culture and its evolution.

Throughout her history she has adapted to social, political and cultural changes and evolved, embracing new trends and challenging stereotypes, always embracing the dreams and ambitions of contemporary life for the next generation of girls.

Barbie has always given girl’s choices – from her 180 careers, to inspirational roles, to her countless fashions and accessories. And earlier this year Mattel literally changed the face of the brand with a range of new dolls represent the world girls see around them with variety in body type, skin tones and style allowing girls to find a doll that speaks to them.

The newest generations of girls know there’s nothing they can’t do, and they’ve never been told otherwise. They have the confidence to try new things, take risks, and stand out among their peers. Barbie supports this empowered thinking, and reinforces it with every doll that is made — from Computer Engineer Barbie to Princess Power Barbie. Because when girls grow up in a world without limitations, they will show us that anything really is possible.

8 Books to Read This Spring Mar 13th 2016, 10:00, by Lori Lange
Here are 8 Books to Read This Spring— shared by my big sister Susie. You might remember her Summer Reading List– last year- which was greatly praised by RecipeGirl readers, and she shared a Fall List too. She's back today with her spring list. Susie keeps a journal of all of the books she has read, and she gives them letter grades. These books shared today all received an "A" grade by Susie! I hope you find a few books in her list that might interest you for spring reading.

8 Book Recommendations for Spring Reading

A note from my sister Susie:

Since I've started to write about books now and again for my sister's blog, I have begun to feel a greater responsibility for finding really awesome stories. After my last list in the fall, I found myself failing miserably! It seemed that every book I read was only so-so at best, but finally, starting in December, I hit a string of fantastic books that I'm excited to share with you today. Happy reading….Susie!

Aaaaaaand it’s Barbie’s official birthday today,...



Aaaaaaand it’s Barbie’s official birthday today, March 9th! As another present to celebrate 5 years of Sam and Mickey on YouTube, we helped Barbie set up her own Instagram account! You can now follow her at @imabarbiegirl1959 - maybe head over there to wish her a happy birthday? Just don’t tell her we sent you; she doesn’t like celebrating her birthday. Something about ageing or whatever. #barbie #samandmickey #instagram #happybirthdaybarbie http://ift.tt/1pwJDvX

So two days ago, on March 7th, we celebrated 5 years on YouTube. Thanks you so much to each and every person who has either watched our films, liked our films, subscribed to our channel, followed us on social media or some combination of all of those. Stop motion is hell to make sometimes, but knowing that there are people somewhere out in the world who enjoy our stupid films is the best kind of reward. The other best kind of reward is personalised Nutella jars, which we got ourselves to commemorate the occasion. Yay Nutella!! Of course, we couldn’t celebrate 5 years of films without giving you guys some presents too. Check out our next posts for details. And keep watching our films so that we can potentially make it to 10 years on YouTube! #samandmickey #5years #barbie #stopmotion #presents #nutellarules http://ift.tt/1pfpHOd

Italian Sausage Vegetable Soup Mar 6th 2016, 11:00, by Lori Lange
Another soup recipe to enjoy in chilly weather: Italian Sausage Vegetable Soup

Italian Sausage Vegetable Soup

This recipe is so simple, you can have it completely done and ready to eat in about 25 minutes. It has a little bit of a tomato base, plenty of Italian sausage and vegetables, and my favorite… garbanzo beans!

Italian Sausage and Vegetable Soup Recipe

This is the perfect soup choice to make for weekday lunches. Add a side salad, and you're good to go!

PrintRecipe
Yield: 6 servings (2 cups each)

Prep Time: 25 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Italian Sausage and Vegetable Soup

Italian-Sausage-and-Vegetable-Soup-200x150.jpg

Ingredients:

  • 12 ounces sweet Italian sausage
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • One 16-ounce can diced tomatoes
  • One 15-ounce can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
  • One 14.5 ounce can beef broth
  • 4 cups water
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 2 large carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 1 large zucchini, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions:

  1. In a large soup pot, cook the sausage and onion over medium heat until sausage is no longer pink. Drain off any accumulated fat (I like to dab with paper towels to soak up as much fat as possible).
  2. Stir in all of the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes or until the carrot and zucchini are tender.

Tips:

  • If you are preparing this recipe as GLUTEN-FREE, just be sure to use brands of chickpeas and beef broth that are known to be GF.
  • Nutritional information per serving (serving size 2 cups): calories: 257, fat: 12g, sat fat: 4g, cholesterol: 40mg, sodium: 1159mg, potassium: 433.5mg, carbohydrates: 24.2g, fiber: 5.2g, sugar: 3.4g, protein: 14.1g
