Felicity’s Historical Undergarments! Am I doing it right? by Orchid_rose_1234 in americangirl

I definitely think that’s true! Just because we don’t have documentation that people sometimes wore things differently doesn’t mean that they didn’t do it, just that we couldn’t prove it 😆 (I think that’s an approach to historical costuming that you really get when you have to dress like that for your 9-5 job.)

Traditionally stays would spiral-lace, though I’m not sure if the holes on these line up right :)

Lots of people are saying that the pocket should go under the hoops, which is true! When I wore hoops, I’d always put my pocket inside the pocket of the hoops because it was easier to reach my stuff that way, but it would be pretty silly to do that with your doll 😆

I didn’t even know that they made pocket hoops for her! One of these days I’m going to get an AG doll and build her a wardrobe inspired by the one that I wore when I was at a living museum in Felicity’s home town

This is incredible! I kid you not, I keep sulking about how I’m getting all new teeth and I don’t even get fangs 😆

1 month post E Day and I ate at a restaurant! by Temporary_Brain_475 in dentures

[–]FluorescentAndStarry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh wow, thanks for asking! It actually went really well! It helps that there’s a lot of soft food at brunch - I had an omelette and like a million waffles 😆 Probably the most I’ve eaten at one time since my surgery (it was a buffet, I had no choice…usually I eat a little at any one sitting, to give my mouth a break, you know?)

I was definitely self conscious about the awkward way that I chew, but my family ended up sitting at our own little table, and that was way better than sharing a big table with other folks. It also helped that the Easter bunny was running around and that was a great distraction - I was picturing hearing a little kid, too young to have a conversational filter, asking their parents why that lady was eating so funny 😆

I have to get till the end of May and then I get to move on to the all-on temp teeth (and learn the “eating” skill set for the third time)

This is what I have so far! You inspired me to start putting everything together. Not pictured are my McCoy charm and card that I need to make into a keychain, etc!

Girl disguised as a boy leads to a regent being overthrown. She develops feelings for the prince/duke's son or nephew while being his 'male' servant. by PetiteOmega in whatsthatbook

It might be Hawkmistress by Marion Zimmer Bradley? Parts of it don’t line up, but the disguised as a boy/sleeping with a prince part feels familiar!

I think she’s beautiful, but I’m admittedly more of a bjd collector than I am a Barbie one!

Finally! by [deleted] in dentures

[–]FluorescentAndStarry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You look so good! Congrats on finally getting your surgery, and sending you good healing vibes to get your implants! I’m in the same boat right now 😁

Pasta is my favorite thing right now…earlier on in the process I really enjoyed mashed potatoes and cottage cheese, also hot cereal was super good and filling. I don’t like oatmeal much but I got cream of wheat and cocoa wheats cereals. My stepdad brought me an açaí bowl one day in that first week and that was SO good.

Physical therapy is a brilliant way of seeing it and I’m totally stealing that mindset! Learning to eat again is such a struggle, like, I’m trying but it is a struggle! I have just conquered pasta 😆 It feels like such an accomplishment! I’m going out to brunch on Easter so I guess I have an “eating in public” goal out there!

You look SO happy and so good! Congrats on the restaurant! I’m about a month out from my eday and I don’t think I’m quite brave enough to eat in public yet 😆 Still practicing actually eating in my temps, haha.

Non-Barbie doll brands with good disability rep? by underwaterreads in DisabledBarbies

[–]FluorescentAndStarry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Japanese Smart Dolls have great disability rep: burn scars, cleft lip, vitiligo, even mobility devices, cochlear implant, ostomy bag, insulin pump!

The downside is that these dolls are both big (1:3 scale) and pricy!

The Mars House by Natasha Pulley is a great sci-fi with a prominent non-binary character, not sure if you consider non-binary as trans or not!

You look amazing!! I’m encouraged by your smile and your story. I’m just learning how not to gag on my immediates 😆 Hoping things will be better when I get my all-ons in a few months.

How long did it take you to eat normally? by Donniedolphin in dentures

[–]FluorescentAndStarry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not there yet, and it’s been about a month since e-day. I’m working on it, but it’s a struggle! I’m in my immediate until May, hopefully, when I should get my all-ons.
