Key Points
It was fun and felt more special because of the impact that the "Barbie" movie had on me...
The women in my birthday squad scoured the internet for the best bright-pink outfits, and we decided our partners should dress in matching Ken shorts outfits..
While I had hosted small dinners with friends or weekend getaways with family, it had been several years since I had a big birthday celebration..
Additionally, some of my friends traveled quite a long way to attend my celebration; some of them flew in from New Jersey to visit me in Florida for the day, while another friend drove 90 minutes to be there, so it was important to me to show them some love in return...
I agree.. In a year in which Margot Robbie and her crew of Barbies made women feel seen and heard, celebrating my 43rd birthday as a Barbie felt right..
