Roelofs started prompting the images as a way to have fun and weigh in on topics online. But in the process, she's subverted Barbie's gaze by reimagining what it means to be a Barbie. "I was constantly spammed on my feed with Barbie because of the release of the movie and at that point, I decided to prompt an AI tool to create Barbie memes and reaction images."
"I was watching this happening and thought I'm going to say something that's satirical and a bit ridiculous in response," she said.

What we learned about the consumer this weekThere was a lot of retail data out this week, with July retail sales coming in better than economists were expecting. Meanwhile earnings from Walmart (WMT) and TJX (TJX) were strong, whereas Target (TGT) and Home Depot (HD) sales took a hit. New York Times Retail Reporter Jordyn Holman joins Yahoo Finance Live to discuss what these recent earnings results are showing about the state of the consumer.
