> Before #Barbenheimer, there was “Apocalypse in Pink,” the August 1983 theme of fashion/culture magazine SPECTAGORIA. The issue’s controversial imagery of Barbie-esque models attempting to stay gorgeous and glamorous amidst nuclear annihilation sought to, in the words of editor/photographer Sera Clairmont, “revel in the morbid absurdity of the new American condition,” an “anxiety vibrating underneath all our plastic smiles.”
please notice I was born in 1983 :>

- One of the photos from the magazine. A respirator model is fully covered in metallic pink, light shining on both her breathing apparatus and hazmat suit. She's enveloped in pink clouds of vapour billowing against a dark, navy blue background. (remote)
- In a predecessor to the "This Is Fine" meme, a Barbiecore doll-like model watches as her pink house is engulfed inside and out by pink fires. The photo is a slide set, and it's juxtaposed to another doll kneeling peacefully on pink foam, wearing a light pink one-piece. She's surrounded by stylish, modern 1983 furniture, all of it going up in flames in a hot pink explosion. (remote)
- A total bimbo smiles to you a huge, capital-D-shaped smile, in perfect makeup and glamorously stylised hair, as a nuclear explosion detonates in the background, pinkily. The doll wears retrofuturistic glittery pink: a latex collar, a strapless top with pointy tips, booty shorts, all with a metallic lustre and flowery patterns. (remote)
- It's my skeleton when the cops finally get me and burn me at the stake. It's a plastic pink skeleton melting in pink flames, still grinning more bimbo than ever. Chunks of sqhuishy body parts such as ears and boobs meld with the skeleton in undifferentiated pink. (remote)
