To pick up girls

Robert Barbarino got his family name from the ancient Italian region of Venice. There are no streets and no cars in Venice, the only way to get around is by boat or vaporetto (water taxi) floating down a labyrinth of narrow canals . The city is called 'la Serenissima' (the Most Serene), the 'City of Water' or the 'City of Canals'. One of the most famous events in Venice is the Carnival celebrations ... but Robert tries to forget that. He doesn't want to think that during a Carnival ... we talk about it later.

The surname Barbarino was first found in Sicily (Italian: Sicilia), the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. In those ancient times only important people were entered into the records. To be recorded at this time, at the beginning of recorded history, was of itself a great distinction and indicative of noble ancestry. The Barbarino family was made of sailers, brave people with naval victories against the Ottoman dominance over the Mediterranean during the mid 16th century.

But kids are kids, and have no idea about this. For them Robert Barbarino is a super skinny blonde kid with a strange name nicknamed ... Barbie. But that is past. Later I will tell you all about Barbie's friends and the Carnival Prank next time.

For now we have Robert with 19 years in U.S.A., looking at an email send by his neighbour. It's an invitation to Get Paid $1,000 to Watch Classic Barbie Movies. Robert opens a chat box to talk about it.

" Is this legit ? "

" Hi Robert. Yes, it's real. "

" Sorry, hi. Are you better ? "

" A little. I'm still nervous about my exam ... "

" Come on, you know all. The exam is going to be super easy. "

" I know all in theory, but spa services are a matter of practice, and my friends stopped answering my calls ... let's talk about something different. Yes, that email is real. It's from one of my clients that works on the business. To promote the movie they’re looking for one fashion doll film fanatic to relish in a Barbie blast from the past by watching and ranking the 16 original Barbie movies. If you are a Barbie movie fan, or you’re ready to watch the original films for the first time, here’s your chance to earn $1,000. "

" Why would they pay someone to watch Barbie movies? "

" The original Barbie movies represent a simple time. Tell me, are you a fan of Barbie buff who owned every iteration of the iconic doll and saw every movie or the annoying sibling who popped Barbie’s head off, but secretly loved the films ? "

" Me ? I am not a fan of Barbie."

" Wrong answer. This job is only for fans."

" Oh ... so I guess it's useless to talk about this. "

" No, there is a third way. I can tell my friend what we did yesterday. "

" No way, that is super strange and ... "

" Strange ? No, only a true fan could let me do it. "

" I was helping a friend, that's all. "

" Yes, do you remember what I told you ? "

" How can I forget, it's carved in my heart. What makes you different makes you special. "

" Barbie: Fairytopia, 2005, the 5th Barbie movie. The movie follows the story of Elina, a wingless fairy who goes on a journey to save the enchanted land of Fairytopia. "

" What ? That's a Barbie quote ? "

" And that's not all. I was just a kid growing up playing with G.I. Joes by day and at night I was a makeup artist in my first Barbie. I wanted to be a fashion designer. I did a lot with the sewing machine at home for Barbie or for carnival or just for fun. Then I saw an ad in the newspaper. And when we are young, we sometimes do some stupid things, I filled in the coupon and sent in my photos. I got my first model job like that. It's thanks to Barbie that I am what I am today. So for me it was a dream to work with a real Barbie like you. "

" Don't call me that. "

" Oh, sorry. You prefer Paris ? "

" Paris ? I wish to have her money ... Lol, only you to make me laugh. "

" Back to the job, you have to watch and rank each of the Barbie films. The ranking should include a brief analysis of each film. "

" All ? "

" Yes. Barbie in the Nutcracker (2001), Barbie as Rapunzel (2002), Barbie of Swan Lake (2003), Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper (2004), Barbie: Fairytopia (2005), Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus (2005), Barbie Fairytopia: Mermaidia (2006), The Barbie Diaries (2006), Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses (2006), Barbie Fairytopia: Magic of the Rainbow (2007), Barbie as the Island Princess (2007), Barbie: Mariposa (2008), Barbie & the Diamond Castle (2008), Barbie in A Christmas Carol (2008), Barbie Presents: Thumbelina (2009), Barbie and the Three Musketeers (2009). "

" Ok ... I think that you should do it ... "

" I can't ... age limit ... unless ... "

" Unless ? "

" Come to my house, and we watch the movies together. I am not going to write your reviews, but I have all the movies here and pizza. "

" Well, I an not a Barbie fan ... but that quote stopped my tears yesterday so ... I'm in."

" Great, see you in 10 minutes. "

Robert closed the chat box without knowing that during all the conversation his neighbour was naked and jerking. On the big screen the movie of Paris was playing.

After 10 minutes Robert knocked on the door and they both seated on the couch while watching Barbie: Fairytopia (2005).
