6. Barbie in a Blender Day
This holiday is not what the name might suggest. In fact, it is not celebrating barbies at all. Instead, it is a holiday celebrating freedom of expression in art and culture. The day got its name from a photographer who photographed Barbie dolls because of the unrealistic beauty perpetuated by the doll, ultimately leading to Mattel lawsuits. However, the expression was free from censorship and more creators are encouraged to express their creative freedom. Commemorate this day by making art on July 27th!
7. Fruitcake Toss Day
Holidays can be stressful sometimes. People mark this day to throw something out of anger, especially the notorious holiday fruitcake to release the pent up frustration. The feelings regarding holiday stress and strong dislike for fruitcake are combined on this unique day.
