See George R.R. Martin in a pink boa and bow about to see Barbie

Like most of us, A Song of Ice and Fire author and Game of Thrones George R.R. Martin has seen the Barbie movie, which has been delighting people the world over with its bright colors, light touch, and subtle approach to merchandising. Barbie was easily the most successful movie of the past weekend even though it’s already been out for a week; it looks pretty certain that it will join the billion-dollar club at the box office, a first for a movie by a lone female director.

Like some of us, Martin dressed for the occasion: he posted a photo of himself decked out in a fetching pink boa and bow:

At least I think that’s a boa? Or maybe it’s a fluffy scarf? I’m not sure, but I am certain that Martin looks too cute to be real.

George R.R. Martin dresses in pink to see Barbie; no word on whether he was in period clothes for Oppenheimer

“I went to see Barbie with my lovely wife; she said pink is my color.” Martin’s wife is Parris McBride, to whom he’s been married since 2011. He even included the hashtag #imkenough, so you know he really followed through.

I saw and enjoyed Barbie, although I was not cool enough to wear pink for the occasion. It wasn’t my fault; I don’t think I own any pink garments — everything in my closet is black or so brown it might as well be black. There’s some gray in there too. Wait, am I depressed?

Anyway, I need to dress better and congratulations to the Barbie movie on all of its success.
