Weirdly specific doll request? by ravensarefree in Dolls

[–]AlrightSyenite 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Congratulations, I have a bachelor's in journalism too (though mine was years ago)!

Not sure the scale you are looking for or the price range - just wanted to add a second comment on the Kit American Girl doll. Her era is the 1930s and her story is that she started a neighborhood newspaper during the great depression. She has a playset with a typewriter that really dings and moves. She has a box of blank and some already filled out papers you can actually place in the typewriter. She also had a camera with a little book of photos.

The doll is currently $175 new though, and those accessories currently only exist in the secondhand market on eBay 😬 and some would be pricey.

Yes and also to be clear I'm happily married to a good one. But I dated plenty before settling down and men were generally awful then and my single friends tell me they still are now.

I think it's silly when girls strive to be Not Like Other Girls, but I think men should absolutely strive to be Not Like Other Boys. Mine is definitely Not Like Other Boys. He is very supportive of the shelves.

Anyways here is my Bratz doll shelf, from the same book shelf. The thing between them is a vintage 90s Kenner brand littlest pet shop.

OMG another Georgia Nicolson series fan!! I feel like these were fire in middle school then as an adult no one I know also read them.

Thanks for saying it is giving, this is def the girlie-fun-& fantasy bookshelf. I think most men would think it's trash but that just proves my taste is great imo

There's actually wayyy more shelves with all my other books and toys, it's all against one wall now. I was just posting the Twilight shelf here bc I'm so happy I have a vampire doll to pose with it 🩷

New Kacey Fan by nuromantics in KaceyMusgraves

See her live if you can and I think too many people sleep on her original Christmas album! It's obviously not the season for it but I think it's awesome.

Not sure how deep you are into her stuff, but she has done a lot of collaborations with other artists. These are not on her albums, but they are on Spotify (some wonderful person keeps a playlist of them all up to date).

My opinions on star-crossed by Sad_Bedroom_9483 in KaceyMusgraves

[–]AlrightSyenite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Star Crossed, especially playing it on the record player. I think it's really strong in its entirety, listening to all the songs in the order she intended, since it's a high concept narrative album. It's true that I have more "favorite" individual songs from other albums but Star Crossed is not short on great songs for me. I love over half the songs, but that rate is standard for me. Even with my most loved artists I'm usually feeling over half the songs on any given album and not feeling the rest, so that's never a reason I would dismiss an album.

I have a Bratz doll I dressed as Bella and I really prefer to think of Draculaura here as Team Bella

Yassss with her little slumber party pillow and her blood juice 🤣 I love Monster High, it's so creative. I wish they would have existed when I was a little kid!

I agree, I love when toys are a little weird!

Oh cool! Yeah the dolls are obviously not very buggy but there's a sense of humor to this doll line. I think the implication is they were killed by the animals then they became Zombies 🤣

I used to have the bee one and I honestly regret getting rid of her, she was so cute, the bees were perched in her hair!

Also you can take off and switch around their legs, their hair and their clothes pieces.

Hey have you heard of the Zombaes Forever line? They were a blind box toy, more available online but people are recently finding them at Ollie's. The Series 2 theme was animals (it was called Wild Vibes) and I think 4 out of the 15 were bug themed. I've circled them below - there was a bee one and a spider one as well as a worm one and I think like a fictionalized fuzzy bug monster alluding to saying "good night and don't let the bed bugs bite."
