There was the woman in the crazy green wig doing the potions.

Of course, there was Firefest, TanaCon, which was, Tana, how do you even pronounce her last name?

Mogul?

module, whatever it is, that was her alternative to VidCon.

There was, of course, DashCon, which was some kind of like Tumblr conference where the only amenity they offer people was a blow-up ball pit.

Anyway, the point is, this weekend, and you might have seen this on social media, there was a festival that was put on in Fort Lauderdale called Barbie's Dream Fest.

And it was just the latest in a long line of overhyped and under-delivered events.

And the tickets cost a whopping $250.

And now this event was supposed to have Serena Williams winning like this girl boss feminism award.

Angel Reese was supposed to be there.

They would have inspiring panels on girlhood and womanhood, glam bars and photo shoots and fashion shows.

They were even going to have yoga and disco and a marketplace and all of these things it was for.

Moms, daughters, sisters, babies, everyone.

It was just a place to celebrate Barbie and womanhood.

But when the guests arrived, this is what they got instead.

A 20 by 20 cutout of turf that they probably bought that morning at Lowe's and a Barbie dream house that looked like they ordered it off of Timu.

Now, they also had a

roller rink that was literally just like concert barrier fencing sectioning off a part of the concrete floor that literally looks like an ER trauma surgeon's dream.

Like already in that photo, we zoom in a little bit.

There is somebody going down head first onto straight concrete.
