As I left the movie when it was over, I pondered what to write about. Here\u2019s a partial list: The feminist contradictions in the history of the Barbie doll as told in the movie. The homage paid to earlier movies, from the opening scene semi-disturbing ceramic doll breakage referencing 2001: A Space Odyssey, the Top Gun volleyball game, and the toy horse riding scene borrowed from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and more I have missed. Where in Barbie Land the female gaze validated Kens existence, and in the real world the male gaze seriously threatened Barbie\u2019s. How sad and \u201Ccringy\u201D the discontinued Barbies and Kens were. The stereotypical cultural inversions presented. Homoerotic representation throughout, but brilliantly executed, especially in the male dance scene, including the Ken double kiss; also, the juvenile \u201Cbeach off\u201D references. How Will Ferrell looks like he could be Ryan Gosling\u2019s father. Conservative reaction to the movie, including the burning of Barbies. The fact that Mattel executives allowed this critical and often silly representation of the company to move forward; thankfully they did. The cultural impact of the movie, with women bonding and going to the movie together, mothers and daughters, often wearing pink. How irrelevant the Kens are to the Barbies until the takeover by the patriarchy. How stereotypically effeminate the Kens were despite their \u201Cmasculine\u201D posturing. The hot-pink beauty of the movie. The power of the inspirational speech the character America Ferrera played gave about the contradictory expectations for women in contemporary society. How the only male non-Ken in the movie, the sensitive Allan, may be gay. He also may be the most traditionally \u201Cmasculine\u201D male in the movie as proven in an altercation with construction workers. How superficial and vulnerable the Kens are, which spotlights that aspect of many men in real life, even though most of us try to hide it.

There is a lot to unpack in our conversation, but I\u2019m not going to. My point here is that these girls, and other boys and girls their ages, are just trying to figure out how the world works and their place in it. The girls didn\u2019t mention the trans-Barbie, and they made no mention of homosexuality. They easily could have, but I shut the conversation down fairly quickly as I was uncomfortable, and have no training in how to address these comments from other people\u2019s children.

Whelan's masterful delivery illuminates significant moments and adds levity when the girls do bits together. Her characterizations are well matched to a large cast with conflicting motives that ranges from predators and con artists to long-lost relatives. K.S.B.  AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine

Hello Girls is an enjoyable read that is in parts really quite gripping. If you like stories about girls rebelling, the American roadtrip, and just general adventure, then this is the book for you!

Winona and Lucille have very different lives, but they do have one thing in common- they want to escape anywhere else. When they met outside the police station one rainy night, they were not prepared to find their best friend. After some confession and bonding, the girls form a secret, strong relationship that gives them hope in the midst of their dark lives. But when things start going badly for both of them and their way out begins to close, the girls take the chance and leave town- by whatever means necessary.

Is it a Big Face  deux? Yes. Do I love it? Heck yes! The sunglasses, the accurate haircuts, the sexy glow from the neon lights of the title treatment? This book is clearly about two cool girls on a journey through the seedy nightlife of middle America. All adds up to 10/10 in my book.

"The girls' voices are authentic, and readers will enjoy a feeling of female empowerment as they follow them on their road trip... Drawing inspiration from Thelma & Louise, this book provides a fun, fast-paced plot with resourceful feminist protagonists." -- Kirkus Reviews

"It's easy to draw parallels between Hello Girls and other dark girl-power comedies like Thelma and Louise, but Cavallaro and Henry offer something extra in Lucille and Winona's relationship... The high stakes come across as genuine and realistic, and the girls tackle their traumas with grit and humor. Readers will find comfort in the resilience of the characters and the strength of their friendship." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

\u201CI\u2019ve crossed the Rubicon now, there can be no turning back. 32 girls in my charge, several older than I. We are the only women on board the ship, the former Celtic of the White Star Line\u2026 Sailed this morning in a dismal gray drizzle. Slipped out quietly, decks cleared of all life. No one allowed outside until well out at sea.

With eight girls and two guest artists, the ensemble is small but talented. Over the course of the program, the cast has been hard at work practicing for the show. After weeks of workshops, rehearsals, and spending time together in a close-knit boarding and day community, The Hello Girls is the result of the hard work of everyone involved. be457b7860
