Barbies
On August 1st, 2023, Mattel announced, to much fanfare, that they were producing a new line of biodegradable Barbie dolls, made from mushrooms, called ‘MyCelia'. The line was launched with an EcoWarrior edition featuring five new Barbies representing iconic activist role models: Julia Butterfly Hill, Greta Thunberg, Nemonte Nenquimo, Phoebe Plummer & Daryl Hannah.
Actually, that's not true.
Sadly, Mattel did not make that announcement... It was us.

** CLASSIFIED DOCUMENT **
Barbie Liberation Organization (B.L.O.) - Urgent Briefing
** B.L.O. RESURGENCE **
Situation:
The enigmatic Barbie Liberation Organization (B.L.O.) has resurfaced.
Context:
With the release of the highly anticipated Barbie movie, as the cinematic spotlight turned toward the iconic doll, the B.L.O. seized the opportune moment to stage a new stunt.
They set their sights on the plastic empire of Mattel.
Objective:
In an era dominated by environmental concerns, the B.L.O.'s resurgence marks a rallying cry against the overwhelming use of plastics.
Armed with an ingenious biodegradable Barbie prototype, their mission aims to send a clear message to the world: a call for sustainability, eco-consciousness, and an end to plastic waste.
Methods:
This clandestine team, long known for their subversive antics, has leveraged the momentum of the Barbie movie's global buzz to amplify the cause. As the world celebrated the plastic princess on the silver screen, the B.L.O. implemented their vision of a biodegradable ‘MyCelia' EcoWarrior Barbie line and announced it to the world - posing as Mattel.
Conclusion:
It's a momentous return for the B.L.O., reawakening their legacy of creative insurgency. Remain vigilant. Intelligence suggests the B.L.O. are actively recruiting new operatives. We may not have seen the last of the B.L.O.
