Watch out! Before you compliment someone on their amazing “Weird Barbie” costume, make sure they aren’t just a regular Seattle woman wearing an outfit that she wears every day. Take this quiz to confirm:
1. What does her outfit look like?
A: I’ve never seen anything like it! Not only is it a dress, but it is pink. On the streets of Seattle. I would have been less shocked to see a mummy.
B: Absolutely nothing matches. It looks like she ran through an REI with her eyes closed. No way it wasn’t planned to be Weird Barbie.
2. How is her makeup?
A: It looks like someone drew on her with a crayon.
B: I don’t know what that is.
3. What is her footwear situation?
A: Wild, colorful boots. Not rain boots. They had this tall thing at the back to make them taller. A h…heel?
B: Super cute Birkenstocks and rainbow socks!
4. Where did you see her?
A: Headed into a Light Rail Station, looking ready to party.
B: Settling into a seat at the opera.
5. Does she have a funky haircut and smell like basement?

B: Yes
Mostly A: Sounds like a weird Barbie costume! Feel free to say “Hi Barbie!”
