The Barbie Movie

What is it about the Barbie Movie that is creating so much attention?

Ok.  So we clearly had a lot of fun showing the Barbie Movie in Rayburn Hall on Friday.  The pre-party was a hoot!  The energy our residents brought to the event was palpable.

It's a fun movie, but since I'm blogging on a website for a Senior Community, I thought I might dig deeper and my attention went to the bench scene.  Academy award winning, fashion designer, Ann Roth, meets Barbie on a bench where Barbie looks at this elderly woman and says, "you're beautiful," and Ann Roth responds, "I know it."  There it is!!!  Women talking to each other through generations.  Barbie's decision to leave Barbieland and embrace the discomforts of the human experience and to see beauty in aging are some of the themes in the movie.  

There was magic in the air on friday as we drank pink cocktails, ate pink popcorn, and enjoyed each other as modern women living in challenging times.

Tai-Chi started this morning at Ferris Hills

Today was the first day of Tai-Chi and fourteen residents joined in to check it out.  Julie Charles, a Dining Services Associate, and the class instructor, has studied Tai-Chi for 20 years; two of which she lived in China.  She explains that "Tai-Chi is a relaxed martial art that is excellent for your flexibility, balance and your overall health."  One of the participants stated that this class "looks like it's going to be wonderful!." 

Interested?  We invite other residents to join in the fun every Friday morning at 10 am in the Vista Lounge.
