Greta Gerwig’s Barbie isn’t due out for another year, but new images from set are fanning the fandom flames.
Something about the pink-permeated promo images for the upcoming movie already had the girls, gays, and theys in a chokehold — especially that one of Ryan Gosling as Ken looking like the ONLY rent boy.

Now, new behind-the-scenes candids from various paparazzo are hitting socials and folks are eating them up.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.

No one has any idea what they’re going for with this. But it certainly has some pedigree in front of and behind the camera. I’m guessing it’ll be a semi-serious satire.
