This week, the Pink Aisle is going to be doing something a little different, as Henry shares the history of Bild Lilli, the German Pinup Doll that Barbie was inspired by.  Though how much of this was inspiration or theft? That is what we will discuss alongside the troublesome history of its parent newspaper, the difference between empowerment and voyeurism, and how Lilli continues to affect the world of Barbie today.

This week, we return to the hallowed halls of Monster High to discuss the upcoming live-action film and the TV movie Escape from Skull Shore.
