Ken and Barbie's Pink Palace is Open for Business

By

If you dislike pink, you won't want to book a room at this Barbie Dreamhouse Air BnB. This thing is decked out in everything Barbie, which means everything pink. Of course, this launch will coincide with the release of Barbie, starring Ryan Gosling and Margo Robbie-directed by Greta Gerwig. In the film, our Barbie leaves Barbie Land and tries to make it in the real world. It is loosely based on Barbie finding Ken with one of those trashy knock-off "Barbie" hoes in their camper doing nasty things to each other. Barbie is so traumatized she rushes to her Barbie Corvette and speeds out of her comfy little world for a life on the mean streets of LA. They cleaned it up and changed the plot as if it were the real story. But we know the truth. Ken is a dirty dog who will put his plastic mound on any old dime store harlot who crosses his path.

They have already been rolling out all sorts of pink merch like luggage, Versace cat eye sunglasses, a replica of Ken's country and western fringe shirt(I don't remember 80s Ken channeling Roy Rogers), a fake cowhide rug, candles, and more. All stays are free for one night, and the monstrosity can be rented for a mere 78,000 dollars a month. There is only a two-person bedroom, though this Malibu horror show boasts a pool overlooking the Pacific Ocean and a disco floor. 

I once read that if you want to drive someone insane, put them in an all-pink room for an extended period, and it will break their mind. They would lose touch with reality forever. I can see this. The whole thing looks like it was painted with Pepto Bismal and Cherry flavored Penicillin. I tried to be open-minded. I really did. I tried to think, well, it's kitsch! and fun! Take a look for yourself. Would you want to stay here for a month?

Peckerwood Manor's ELECTION PANIC-A-GOGO!

It's happening right now! This is place to scream about the election; to vent, to rejoice, to grumble, then scream again. I swear, your throat will feel like sandpaper once this day is done. Have you voted yet? Are you in line? Post pictures! Is your heart skipping beats? Do you fear for the future? Of course you do! But crucially, do you have enough booze and pills to get through this? What, exactly, are you taking or drinking? We want to know. And what are you eating? Are you a sugar or salt whore? We want to know that, too.  Leave those who'd rather not discuss such matters to our special Election-Free Open Post , since today, for one day only, we're gettin' real and gettin' dirty  in our own gasping, shrieking, blood-soaked election post. Hold tight.

OPEN POST: We Will Survive!

Rise up, my chickens. We're all worth fighting for.  It won't be easy, it won't be fun, but through the long dark of night and on to a new day, it will surely be worth it. We don't regularly refer to politics in our Open Posts, but today, I think it's worth noting that many of us got through eight long years of Ronald Reagan - and it was a nightmare, and for many of my contemporaries, deadly. But here we are, we're still standing. We'll get through this, too, I promise.  What does this mean in the short-term? Tears, fury, booze, pills, or weed, of course. You have my permission - not that you need it - to comfort yourself however you like for the rest of the week. But come Monday, all bets are off. Bitches won't even see us coming.

OPEN POST: Monday Music At The Manor With DJ Li'l Scratch!

Are you freaking out about the election tomorrow? Me, too. Or maybe you're having a more generalized "It's Monday, oh-my-fucking-gawd" freak out? In either case, please allow Peckerwood Manor's esteemed DJ Li'l Scratch to take you away. Many of you already know about Li'l Scratch, as he regularly lays tracks at "Heavy D's," the Manor's exclusive after-hours club.  Today he's spinning Teri Thornton, a vibrant, husky-voiced jazz singer and piano player who hailed from Detroit. In 1961, she exploded onto the scene with her debut LP, "Devil May Care," demonstrating show-stopping vocal prowess. The reviews were through the roof and so was the public reception, yet just as suddenly - poof - she vanished after a few more LPs, her career thwarted by market changes given the rise of rock 'n' roll. And that was that. She was all but forgotten, reduced to driving a taxi to make ends meet.  But in a jaw-dropping comeback, she re
