Welcome to the world of Doll House Playāwhere the drama is high, the outfits are fabulous, and the morning routine… well, it’s a hot mess. In this first part of the series, we’re diving into the chaos that is the dollhouse morning routine. Spoiler alert: it’s not as glamorous as you’d think.
If youāve ever wondered what itās like to spend the first hour of your day in the shoes (or tiny plastic heels) of a Barbie doll, well, let me take you through it. Trust me, it’s a whole vibeājust with more tiny cereal bowls and the occasional hairbrush malfunction.
Step 1: The Wake-Up Call
Itās 7:00 AM in Doll House Land. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and Barbieās alarm clock goes off at the most obnoxious volume. You’d think she’d have a more luxurious wake-up experience, but nope. That alarm clock is louder than my entire kitchen full of dishes.
Barbie, being the professional doll she is, gracefully “rolls” out of bed and straight into the nearest fashion disaster. Instead of a cozy morning stretch, she somehow ends up tangled in her bedspread (because, of course, dolls donāt sleep under normal sheetsāthey sleep under tiny fashionable throws).
Ken, meanwhile, has the audacity to sleep through the whole thing. Iām not saying Ken is lazy, but you know, heās been known to have the best naps in the entire dollhouse. And yet, when Barbie pulls the covers off him to get him up? He still doesnāt wake up.
Somebody get this guy an espresso.
Step 2: The Outfit Drama
Now comes the fun partāpicking an outfit. Barbie has a wardrobe full of clothes. We’re talking everything from sparkly gowns to workout gear to swimsuits. Itās a full-on fashion show every morning. But here’s the thingāno matter what she picks, itās always the wrong outfit.
I mean, Barbie tries on, like, six different looks before she even thinks about leaving the room. One dress is too sparkly, another has the wrong neckline, and another is simply ānot the right vibeā for the dayās mood. Sheās basically the fashion version of someone who spends hours trying on outfits only to end up in sweatpants anyway. But hey, thatās the Barbie life for you!
Ken, on the other hand, doesnāt have the same outfit dilemma. He picks the first polo shirt he finds (because apparently, heās always ready for a yacht party, even if heās just taking out the trash).
Step 3: Breakfast Time ā Or Lack Thereof
Okay, so hereās where the true chaos begins: breakfast. Barbieās kitchen is fully stocked with mini cereal boxes, teeny-tiny waffles, and juice thatās way too small to be considered practical. But, naturally, the dolls arenāt exactly great at cooking or eating. The whole ābreakfastā process is a bit of a disaster.
Barbieās trying to pour milk into her cereal bowl, butāplot twistāshe has no arms. Great. She finally gets the milk everywhere except the bowl. And then, the cereal? It accidentally ends up on the floor. Not that it matters much because the dollhouse pets (who are basically just tiny rubber animals) are ready to swoop in and eat everything up.
Meanwhile, Ken somehow decides to make himself a stack of pancakes⦠except he only has one pan, and itās not even the right size. Heās basically making a pancake omelet at this point, but hey, at least heās trying. In true doll fashion, he doesnāt seem to care that the pancakes are more burnt than cooked, and theyāre about the size of a dime.
Step 4: The Hair Disaster
Hereās where things get real. Barbie’s hair is always a mess in the morning. Like, Iām talking full-on bedhead that defies the laws of physics. And no matter how many brushes she tries, she ends up looking like she just stepped out of a wind tunnel.
Ken, of course, brushes his hair once, and boomāperfect, fluffy, unrealistic hair that looks like it belongs in a shampoo commercial. How does he do it? Magic? A tiny blow dryer? Iāll never know.
Barbie, on the other hand, ends up with a braid so messy it could only be done by a toddler. The dollhouse stylist (me, obviously) has to step in and rescue the situation with a lot of hairspray and strategic hairpin placement.
Step 5: The āLetās Get Out of Hereā Moment
Now that Barbieās finally decided on her outfit (itās the sparkly gown, obviously), her breakfast was a disaster, and her hair is āreadyā for a red carpet, itās time to leave the dollhouse and start the day.
But wait, before Barbie heads out, thereās one final task: the photo op. Of course, Barbie has to take a perfectly staged Instagram photo with her coffee cup (that she canāt actually drink) and post it with the hashtag #MorningGoals. Meanwhile, Ken is standing in the background looking like heās been professionally posed by an entire team of photographers.
Barbieās trying to fix her pose while balancing a juice box that keeps tipping over, but hey, itās all part of the morning routine, right?
Conclusion: The Morning Routine ā A Comedy of Errors
And that, folks, is how Barbie and Ken spend their chaotic, but fabulous, morning in the dollhouse. From wardrobe struggles to breakfast disasters and hair styling mishaps, this routine is less about productivity and more about⦠well, trying to get through the day without too many mishaps.
Will Barbie ever find the perfect outfit? Will Ken ever wake up on time? Will breakfast actually be breakfast? Youāll just have to stick around for the next part of this epic Doll House Play series to find out!
Stay tuned, because the next adventure in the dollhouse is bound to be just as hilarious and unpredictable. In the meantime, enjoy your own (slightly more organized) morning routine, and donāt forget to brush your hair… unlike Barbie. š
