hi it's me Trixie Mattel and welcome back to my youtube channel i'm a world famous drag queen with
a passion for makeup artistry but also a passion for dolls it's been trixie mattel for like 13
years i'm stunned how many people tell me they don't get that it's a doll reference but if you
know me you know that i love dolls i've read at least half a dozen non-fiction books about dolls
children the way children develop because of dolls dolls end up being little time capsules fashion
the way women dress the way women were treated what careers were aspirational for women at the
time and i got this in the mail this is the barbie 2020 campaign team career of the year big dreams
bright future thank you mattel for sending it it's been great uh mattel's been sending me
dolls which is great because i always thought if mattel was going to reach out it was going
to be their legal department so very pleased i don't know what's in here i've seen a little
bit online but i've done my part trying to like not peek in here until right this moment before
we open this let's do a little cheers you can subscribe anytime this is a free channel
we are apparently adult cross dressers who open children's toys that's our vibe so cheers ily
by the way my neighbors their window faces my office and i never close the
window one of them's a piano teacher because i can always hear her in there
she's either playing the most beautiful intense like Debussy and like get into it or i hear like
she's like giving lessons i wonder if she looks in on me and is like um what a freak um okay so
let's open it i'm thrilled i'm excited i'm pumped oh my god okay beautiful box mattel thank you
this is the career of the year this is campaign team so what we have here is barbie in 2020
running for president which is incredible by the way not the first time she's done it i mean i
love hillary love you barbie was the first female to run for president i mean imagine being a kid
and receiving a doll that is encouraging you to grow up to be a woman and run for president i'm
not gonna get on my soapbox about this but even me as a young gay boy in the country
barbie to me represented possibility we dress as what we are and with toys you can really pretend
and start practicing for that future you want i mean think of how many little girls this year
are getting this and it's lighting that spark that they can affect change in a meaningful way
because look at this we have four women here and the woman at the podium is a woman of color i mean
i know how long dolls take to make which means they made the choice to make the presidential
candidate a woman of color way before they knew 2020 was going to be such a time where like
little girls would need this level of inspiration i mean this is amazing this is the type of doll
that if they didn't send it to me i would have to have it i got a card each year barbie shines
a light on a career underrepresented by women to expose girls to a role they may not be familiar
with women represent 51% of the US population but make up less than a third of the nation's
elected leaders and we know that Black women are represented even less across federal state and
local elected positions in an effort to inspire greater representation in the next generation
barbie is encouraging girls to make their voices heard from the polling place to the podium now
this is interesting research shows that starting at the age of five many girls stop believing that
their gender can be anything this is called the dream gap and barbie's on a mission to close it
in an effort to peak girls interest in pursuing public leadership roles barbie has partnered with
nonpartisan nonprofit organizations she should run she should run provides adults with resources to
spark a conversation about leadership with a girl in her life guys these are those moments as a doll
collector where you know that you are enthusiastic about something important i mean i do drag because
i like to make horrible jokes and drink booze but like if i had a daughter you better believe
i would be handing her this toy i gotta see these girls i think it's so funny because i did a video
unboxing the color reveal dolls and that was like one of my most successful videos to date
and i found out that a large percent of the videos on youtube are people taking toys out of boxes
and that's what i'm doing stunning oh my god look how great they look out of the box come
on oh and look at that it's a room full of women watching love it you guys i'm a collector it does
hurt me to open these but i want us to be able to touch them and see them so let's just do it
okay first up we have this diva look at the voter very cute i love that she's in an i voted shirt

go to the voting booth in your flip-flops in a shower cap but just go i'm trixie mattel i'm
outdoors outside of a school and i had to go vote in drag because of my very tight schedule
you know what got me interested in voting young people don't vote and old close-minded republican
rich white people they love that we don't vote i don't care how anti-establishment you
are voting is kind of the most punk rock thing you can do it's the only way to make your voice

barbie dolls the faces they do are just crazy this is why my last name is mattel okay i mean this is
incredible before there was like a fashion doll like a barbie little girls were basically only
given baby dolls and they were encouraged to pretend to be moms flash forward to 2020
little girls are being handed the building blocks of pretending to be a leader i'm so happy to be
alive to see this it's just how old am i like i'm going to die tomorrow congratulations mattel on
