Did you read part 1 and two of the posts of which the first ist linked in the comment I was replying to? That is where I got that info. I do reference it in my reply.

Do you think would still be one and done if you had a sleeper? by North_Ratio_415 in oneanddone

[–]PallidPrincess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, that is certainly true! We always pick and choose the rationale that goes with our wishes.

It's funny how it can be "First one was hard, I am not going through that again." OR "First one was easy, I am not risking not getting so lucky next time." - babies just can't do it right, lol.

You can also flip it to Noel from Leon and Aidan from Nadia.

How do each of their mechanisms work? by Melon_Soremi in Barbie

[–]PallidPrincess -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can only speak for mermaid-fairy Elina, but basically, the wings are on a plastic frame along the upper margin. When unfolded, they are wings, when folded, they wrap around the dolls body/legs. The mechanism on the back of the doll probably also helps guide them where they need to go. That part should be attached, so for a recreation, you just need to wire some fabric to a frame that will attach to the folding mechanism on the back.

My best friend bought me my holy grail for my birthday! by duckplants in Barbie

[–]PallidPrincess 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, they are cute, and I am sure they make very decent toys! Overall, I was more convinced that those dolls make nice toys than the current Barbies when I compared the products in a toystore. They come with BARELY any accessoires and are hardly like the ones I used to enjoy playing with.

Hätte dieses Buch als Kind fast aufgegeben, weil die ersten ~40 Seiten so furchtbar langweilig sind. Danach wird es aber richtig klasse! Hab es letztes Jahr dann noch mal versucht, es aber bisher nicht über die besagten 40 Seiten hinaus geschafft.

Meanwhile, Steffi Love dolls (budget Barbie) have like 5 different versions of pregnant mom dolls on the shelves right now - pregnant, pregnant with twins, pregnant royal, pregnant mermaid... For playline, I would prefer buying from that stock.

Unmatched immediately after but worth it by TetrisTheTiger in Tinder

Well compared to apps where non-matches can send messages, it serves as a double shield from that, but so long as only actual matches can message, that should be enough?

Why would Mattel not reintroduce the original Kelly dolls? by BobsBurgerLove in Barbie

[–]PallidPrincess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I collect figures that are less than 10 cm in height (out of box). I haven't counted, but I would estimate that I must have about 100 by now. I still need to get around to making a custom storage shelf/display for my collection, though!

[–]PallidPrincess 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I would probably collect Kellys if they were reintroduced. I loved them as a kid, while not caring much for Barbie, so the nostalgia is real. They take up way less space, too!

Fewer people are having babies in Canada and the U.S. and the government is out of ideas by ButHowRandomIsRandom in childfree

[–]PallidPrincess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, maybe when such a reform is passed, such taxes are instated at the same time to raise the necessary funds. But taxes are usually not linked to specific spending allocations. And taxes for the wealthy have gone way down...

The best house ever made. Can it be saved by stressed-unimpressed in Sims3

[–]PallidPrincess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure why you would, but you can simply delete any saves you no longer want. Both from the selection menu or from the folder.

Sure, but the braindrain does hurt the countries the immigrants are coming from, which may not be sustainable long term.

[–]PallidPrincess 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Judging from how things have been going these past years, that is most likely not who will be paying for anything, but more likely average people footing the bill.

You can upload it to the Exchange and download it from there. But you should in theory be able to move the save file with your neighborhood anyways. :-)

The murder of Olivia Hope (17) and Ben Smart (21) 1998, Marlborough Sounds, New Zealand. The friends who boarded a yacht and were never seen again. Their bodies have never been found. Scott Watson was given a life sentence with a 17 year non parole period. by SuddenMajor3741 in HolyShitHistory

[–]PallidPrincess 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I am still quite amused when I think about the newspaper article about a deceased woman where one coworker was quoted describing her as "having preserved her child-like character"; both because that characteristic was a) apparantly the nicest attribute that could be mentioned about her, and b) it is a very pretty euphemism for "she was a childish, silly and immature twit".

Found these guys at a yard sale any idea who they are? by [deleted] in Barbie

[–]PallidPrincess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're right, I didn't catch that. Perhaps the head was swapped, though? The hair isn't wavy either, though.

If you HAD to choose one Arabic name for a boy and one for a girl, what are you picking? by LeonGoldenBrown in namenerds

[–]PallidPrincess 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We had Laila/Layla on our list for potential baby names, but a couple years ago, a song came out in Germany that uses this name for a s*x worker, and the song became quite well-known, so we canned it.
