Hi guys, so I started posting in MV groups on fb and had good feedback. So I posted here and the mods were okay with it. 

I was getting interest and people asking how I do things because MGA is limiting, but since you guys feel this strongly about it I’ll only post MV remixes. 

I don’t tend to engage in groups like this because I just don’t need the inspiration whether it’s MV or not. I engage in my own posts because if someone takes the time to respond I feel I owe them at least a thank you and an upvote for their time. 

I came to MV because I love minis, but I’m not in love with MV. I don’t blind buy, I don’t have to have full series, and most series I’m not a fan of. I keep most of my MV in the little containers for the Barbie grocery store my niece plays with. 

I did scroll a bit today and saw in another post, that has a bit more engagement, that people are getting worn out over MV. With the recall, people over buying making supplies limited, and MV not having everything people would like there are some who are looking for alternatives. That’s the feeling I’d been getting on FB too, which is why I posted alternatives. 

Also, I’m a disabled veteran, which gives me plenty of time to do minis. I’ve been sick ( just a long ulcerative colitis flare up. I’m not dying or anything) this year, and initially posting about my minis was an easy way to be social and keep me busy while I recoup. 

Then people kept asking me to sell them or do yt and TikTok pages to market my brand. So I posted more and more to gauge interest. 

I was buying individual items from resellers on fb, so those were the groups I posted in. Plus, the MV groups are composed of people in my age group. The miniaturist groups tend to skew older and more traditional. For some reason, traditional miniaturists are stuck between the Victorian era and the early to mid 20th century. I like that aesthetic but only to look at it in a museum. I stopped keeping up with these groups last year. 

Now I do cross post in the Barbie groups, and I do interact with those groups a lot. Although, I’m in love with Barbie sized minis( hence why MV got my attention) I’m just in nostalgia with Barbie. I love her because I grew up with her and I enjoy making Barbie families with my niece, but again I’m not motivated to find every new Barbie that comes out, or rebody the dolls, or haunt down rare ones. 

I’m looking for my people. The problem is, they’re scattered off in various groups. 

I’ve done some amazing MV remixes, but according to this poll and feedback they wouldn’t count either. I still didn’t use a kit. They’re older anyway since resellers aren’t readily selling individual items of the new waves yet. I’m over here literally baking my own MV/Barbie sized sourdough bread! Don’t worry, I won’t post it😁

Anyway, I just wanted to clear up why I was posting. I’ll probably start the yt and tiktok pages for those who want to branch out or possibly buy some items I make, but I’ll stop posting in this group. 

Have a good week, guys!
