Quarantine Barbies ~ and Clawdia's window

I found some Quarantine Barbies and fell in love with the New Hobby edition because it has a guitar.  I don't need the What Day Is It? edition, with days of the week on her underwear, because I have my weekly pill box to tell me that.  Tonya Ruiz at Barbie Gets Real (on Facebook) has designed several Quarantine Barbies, along with a few Kens (I like Zoom Ken wearing boxer shorts), some homeschoolers, a couple of toddlers, and an infant.  She made a YouTube video to share details about them (listed below), including a few I hadn't seen before finding the video.  She's still dreaming up others.  Can you relate to any of these?
  • Quarantine Barbie ~ Starter Pack (curvy doll in stretchy pants)
  • Quarantine Barbie ~ Binge Watching (with a TV and snacks)
  • Quarantine Barbie ~ Bread Baking (with flour and mixer)
  • Quarantine Barbie ~ Homeschool Mom (with 3 kids plus toddler)
  • Quarantine Barbie ~ Home Salon Edition (wearing a robe)
  • Quarantine Barbie ~ New Hobby (with a guitar and puzzle)
  • Quarantine Barbie and Ken ~ Quarreling Couple (back to back)
  • Quarantine Barbie ~ What Day Is It? (with a laptop and calendar)
  • Quarantine Barbie ~ What Time Is It? (wearing pajamas)
  • Quarantine Barbie ~ Zoom Ken (with toddler and infant)
  • Pandemic Hero ~ Health Care Worker (wearing scrubs)
  • Pandemic Hero ~ Sanitation Worker (with tiny garbage)
Try to see which dolls have toilet paper as you watch that video.  Can you determine what Barbie and Ken are quarreling about?  Which ones have the best snacks?  Be a sleuth, click here, and find out.

While I was laughing about these Barbie dolls, Clawdia was basking in the open window, enjoying the sunshine before the rain.  What have you been doing during this lockdown?  Will you rush out to go shopping or dining out the minute it's allowed where you live?  Or are you feeling as cautious about that as I am?

Clawdia was back in the window, when I opened it after the rain.  Not quite as sunny, but the rain cooled us off a bit.

She can't accidentally push the window screen out, can she? I only ask because another blogger's cat recently pushed out the screen and fell to the ground below. Luckily, kitty was dazed but not hurt.

The Barbies are hilarious!

Jinger, I worried about the same thing, since we live on the sixth floor, but so far she hasn't done more than sit astride the little edging, with two of her feet on the sill and her other two feet inside the tiny space where the window comes down. Once, when she stood up and pushed against the screen years ago, I immediately removed her from the window and closed it. The springs holding the screen in place seem stronger than she is, but I seem to have made it clear to her that, NO!, she could not do that. Thanks for caring about my little furry roommate.

Quarantine Barbie! What a hoot. Talk about capitalizing on the situation for economic gain. :-)
