"If I can dream it, then I can do it; I've got my girls with me, there's nothing to it," Fifth Harmony sang in their official Barbie anthem, 'Anything Is Possible.' Unfortunately, that didn't turn out to be true for attendees of Barbie Dream Fest, which is currently running in Fort Lauderdale, FL, from March 27-29. Fans are comparing the event to notorious convention disasters like the Glasgow Willy Wonka Experience, DashCon, and Fyre Fest.

The California Democratic Party will hold its midterm convention at Moscone Center in San Francisco this weekend, and while there's not a whole lot of suspense, it's always an opportunity to see which way the party is leaning in a crucial election year. The message so far: Don't talk about economic inequality-and don't mention the billionaire tax. All the candidates for governor, and all the candidates for the other statewide offices, will be there. Mayor Daniel Lurie will address the crowd. The party issues endorsements in contested primaries, and the San Francisco Congressional race was wired from the start for state Sen. Scott Wiener.
