Teenagers
Barbie, eat a sandwich
Care Bears on Fire think the fashionista needs a hoagie.
They’re a critically acclaimed trio of teenaged Brooklyn girls who sing punk rock anthems to baby animals. And in their new video, Care Bears on Fire have a few choice words for America’s favorite fashion icon, Barbie.
As the girls chase her down through the pages of a fashion magazine, they hector the ubersvelte doll queen who’s “got no brains, but she’s got style” to “eat a sandwich, give it a try!” It’s a carbs and cheese-friendly message to women — and women to be — everywhere that’s strong, funny, and most of all, it rocks.
