In The Nice Guys, Gosling’s rumpled PI laments that “the days of ladies and gentlemen are over,” but Gosling is at his best playing men whose time has passed. Even the 20th century’s most iconic doll can barely match his Kenergy. The closest thing to Ken in Gosling’s previous filmography is his character in Crazy, Stupid, Love, a self-styled ladies’ man who takes Steve Carell’s hapless middle-aged dad under his wing. He’s just this side of irredeemable, but it becomes clear that he doesn’t get any more from the women he sleeps with than they get from him.

His accessories include his fanny pack and the sparkly horse medallion. Its box also showcases the Barbie logo scratched out, giving place to a Ken logo. The newest piece of merchandise released by Mattel, the brand behind Barbie, is a “Mojo Dojo Casa House” Ken doll inspired by Ryan Gosling. The best of movies, TV, books, music, and more, delivered to your inbox. And the latest format gaining momentum is inspired by the Kens' Mojo Dojo Casa House scenes.

After urgently spinning in symmetrical formations to full-on ‘80s synthpop, Gosling’s Ken is revealed anew. He again sings the chorus, but this time, he’s standing tall, staring directly into the camera with a knowing smile. He helps his fellow Kens up from the floor and giggles after they kiss him on the cheek in gratitude. He is no longer threatened by other men, or the expression of affection among them.

Since joining the CB team she has covered numerous TV shows and movies -- including her personal favorite shows Ted Lasso and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. She also has followed and consistently written about everything from Taylor Swift to Fire Country, and she's enjoyed every second of it. The second act of the live-action Barbie movie follows the eponymous character and Ken as they enter the real world for the first time. Partway through their adventure, the iconic pair split up – Barbie goes to look for the girl playing with her doll while Ken… does Ken things. Meanwhile, Gosling’s Ken continues his melancholic monologue about his purpose and self-worth, now to a more upbeat rhythm. “I wanna know what it’s like to love, to be the real thing,” he sings, with a hunger in his eyes.

The tangy, spicy, and sweet sauce incorporates house-pickled watermelon rind, smoky La Morena chipotle sauce, and brown sugar. Alberto Bañuelos and his wife Lauren have turned Burritos La Palma (5120 Peck Rd., El Monte 91732) into a sensation in El Monte, Santa Ana, Smorgasburg LA, and in their Fairfax Village collaboration with Plan Check. At their El Monte and Santa Ana locations, Burritos La Palma sells salsa especial, a zesty orange sauce designed for dipping or smothering that’s crafted with tangy tomatillo and either Hatch or Anaheim chilies for heat and flavor. Also be sure to buy an order of house-made flour tortillas for the road. More restaurants are selling house-made sauces for home use or to give as gifts. Bring a taste of your favorite chefs on the road without by just ordering takeout or reheating leftovers.

These frat houses are also the place where as part of their plan to prevent the Kens taking over Barbieland, some of the Barbies are tasked with distracting the guys on a date night to ensure they miss a meeting at the Supreme Court. Upon his return, then, Barbieland’s women-favoring power dynamic places the men in all positions of power, and Barbie’s Dreamhouse gets transformed into Ken’s Mojo Dojo Casa House. The much-memed, long-awaited feature from director Greta Gerwig is a delightful comic fantasy that promotes and deconstructs its own Mattel doll brand. Gosling’s Ken later denounces the patriarchy and learns from Barbie not to define himself by his possessions, his relationship or his job of just “beach.” He’s just Ken, and he’s Kenough. After ‘Barbie’ breaks a Monday ticket record, industry analysts predict how well that film and ‘Oppenheimer’ will perform this weekend.

Tired of being sidelined in favor of the women in their lives, Barbie’s Kens (led by Ryan Gosling in a ridiculous mink coat) eventually quit their “beaching” and decide to assert their dominance, plastering Barbie Land with all of their tacky accoutrements. The “Barbie” production team explains how they made Barbie Land so appealing—and their biggest inspiration as they buried it under a pile of TVs.

When Ken takes over the Dreamhouse, though, it largely loses its right to being called a "dream house" at all. Ken turns the house into a bit of a bachelor pad and deems it the "mojo dojo casa house," a nonsensical name considering "casa" means "house" in Spanish. The scene became a fast favorite among fans of the movie and spread to social media over the following days. As expected, a meme inspired by Ken’s home is already dominating social media. Just days after Barbie’s release, Twitter user Dr. Sean Travers tweeted, “Take him to the mojo dojo casa house,” complete with a photo of the yellow pyramid building from Midsommar.

The doll features the black fringe vest, joggers and white shoes worn by Ken in the beach war scene, topped with the faux fur coat. Which moves us on to a perfect reaction to the trend from user @johnjohntoks who posted a bemused looking video of himself with the words “Me realising she never actually wanted to go through my camera roll with me”. The phrase stems from Ryan Gosling’s Ken, who after entering the real world, learns lessons about patriarchy and horses, and decides he needs to bring some of that to Barbieland and transforms Barbie’s Dreamhouse. Interestingly enough, Ken learns a few lessons while interacting with humanity, specifically about patriarchy and horses. It doesn’t take long for Barbie’s beau to conclude that Barbieland could do with a bit of patriarchy.

And with the success of the movie combined with his Kenergy, fans have been looking for and willing to buy all kinds of merchandise. The Barbies’ Kens—they are all named Ken, just as all the Barbies are named Barbie—are sculpted Adonises with perfect hair and washboard abs, but they don’t serve any real function. Where the Barbies are individuated by their professions—Lawyer Barbie, Diplomat Barbie—the Kens are simply Ken. Now, women (and some men) have been taking to TikTok to share their experiences of real-life Mojo Dojo Casa House date moments.

Huckleberry (1014 Wilshire Blvd., Santa Monica 90401) is their breakfast and lunch destination that specializes in California-inspired comfort food and baked goods. On every table, customers will find a jar of Huck Hot Sauce - a spicy, tangy, fire red sauce crafted with Fresno chiles, coriander, white vinegar, and apple cider vinegar. Breakfast burritos, huevos rancheros, and poached egg bowls with seasonal vegetables are natural pairings for this sauce, which also helps accentuate their fried chicken sandwich.

The “Barbie” movie has been one of the most watched — and commented on — of the year. Even though the star of the movie is Barbie, there’s another character that’s winning the hearts of admirers all over the world. Another Twitter user (or X user) evoked the meme to poke fun at the website’s recent rebranding. “Returning to Barbieland to find the Dreamhouse has become the Mojo Dojo Casa House,” Lillian Crawford captioned a post featuring side-by-side pictures of the Twitter and X logos. Barbie hit theaters less than a week ago and has already taken over the world, especially at the box office. The Mattel-branded film’s Monday, July 24 earnings helped it breeze past $400 million globally.

Centeno makes the sauce with 14 different house-dried chiles, including arbol, chipotle, pasilla, poblano, and Fresno, all blended with proprietary secrets. They prescribe the sauce for breakfast tacos and bus driver wings, but any dish is fair game. Ken’s outfit in this scene includes him in a faux fur white statement coat, a horse pendant, cat-eye sunglasses, a lightning headband, fingerless black gloves, a fanny pack with “Ken” emblazoned on it and black pants. The signature outfit in the movie was also topped off with three Tag Heuer gold watches — Ryan Gosling, who played Ken in the “Barbie” movie, has been a brand ambassador for the watch company since 2021. To see the mojo dojo casa houses on the big screen, Barbie is playing in cinemas nationwide. Zoe Nathan, husband Josh Loeb and the RC Family are still thriving in Santa Monica.

The film contains a scene in which Ken rebrands the Barbie Dreamhouse as the "Mojo Dojo Casa House" ("casa" meaning Spanish for "house"). Mojo Dojo Casa House or Welcome to My Mojo Dojo Casa House refers to a series of memes inspired by the 2023 Barbie movie, referencing a scene in the film in which Ken takes over the Barbie Dreamhouse and rebrands it as the Mojo Dojo Casa House. Some of the most prominent memes to reference the house feature images of houses, often unorthodox, describing them as the "mojo dojo casa house." The memes began to appear on sites including Twitter, Facebook and Instagram in the days following the film's release on July 21st, 2023.
