1. Wide of Lauren Banall greeting the audience at Life Size: A Barbie Tribute Drag Show
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Lauren Banall, drag performer:
"Well, the basic tenets of both drag and Barbie are about being whoever you want to be, no matter what society tells you. So when Barbie first came out, women couldn't even have their own credit cards. And she was an astronaut and had her own house. And, you know, drag is all about being whoever you want to be, even if it's just for an hour or two. It's just you can change your identity just by changing your clothes. So drag queens always identify with Barbie, not only because the looks are fierce and we love pink, but it's all about self-empowerment. And that's what drag is all about."
3. Wide of Alamo Drafthouse Cinema entrance
4. SOUNDBITE (English) Lauren Banall, drag performer:
"Absolutely. We'll be doing "Barbenheimer," and I'm going to take Issa Rae's advice and do "Oppenheimer" first so we can get real depressed and then turn it around with a positive spin with Barbie."
5. Various of event attendee posing inside of a giant Barbie box
6. SOUNDBITE (English) (L-R) Stacy Castellanos of Long Beach, California and Adriana Miramontes of Los Angeles
Miramontes: "Yeah. Like the atomic bomb is just, like, such a heavy topic."
Castellanos: "I have dreams about it all the time. I don't wanna watch it."
Miramontes: "I was like, anybody who wants to see "Oppenheimer" first, I'm a little worried about you."
Castellanos: "Yeah. You need intervention for sure."
Miramontes: "You have to see Barbie first."
Castellanos: "Keep it. Keep it light."
7. SOUNDBITE (English) Rosemary Graves of Los Angeles
"Well, we're doing the "Barbie" yesterday, "Oppenheimer" today experience. We're so excited because we love Christopher Nolan."
8. SOUNDBITE (English) Mark Marzio of Los Angeles
