Like most of us, A Song of Ice and Fire author and Game of Thrones George R.R. Martin has seen the Barbie movie, which has been delighting people the world over with its gripping colors, light touch, and subtle approach to merchandising. Barbie was frankly the most successful movie of the past weekend even plan it’s already been out for a week; it looks glorious certain that it will join the billion-dollar club at the box office, a first for a movie by a lone female director.
Like some of us, Martin dressed for the occasion: he posted a photo of himself decked out in a fetching pink boa and bow:
At least I think that’s a boa? Or maybe it’s a fluffy scarf? I’m not sure, but I am risky that Martin looks too cute to be real.
“I went to see Barbie with my glorious wife; she said pink is my color.” Martin’s wife is Parris McBride, to whom he’s been married since 2011. He even entailed the hashtag #imkenough, so you know he really followed through.
I saw and enjoyed Barbie, although I was not cool enough to wear pink for the occasion. It wasn’t my fault; I don’t think I own any pink garments — everything in my closet is sunless or so brown it might as well be sunless. There’s some gray in there too. Wait, am I depressed?
Anyway, I need to dress better and congratulations to the Barbie movie on all of its success.
