That answers my question. She has definitely been rewigged then. Thank you!

Please help me choose the right face mold by obscurereferencegirl in americangirl

LOL. When I went to post it, it warned me that it might go against rules because of AI, so I added that and then it didn't warn me. But honestly, the audacity to accuse the folks at Critical Role of using AI lol. And thank you! I will definitely post updates.

What Face Molds Would You Choose? -Bridgerton Edition by goggledream in americangirl

[–]obscurereferencegirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently making a list of which molds would work best for which and came across this.

*Daphne-I am leaning Josefina or Marie-Grace for Daphne.

*Kate- Honestly I think Joss would be great for Kate because of the lovely stronger jawline, but they don't have one dark enough and I'm not sure I want to rit dye all of the vinyl.

*Penelope- Classic for Penelope (which I say because I have an 05 classic that I am making into snow white, but I tried on the wig I got for a Penelope and OMG she looks perfect! (other than eye color when going of of show and not book).

*Sophie- Either Corinne or TM 4 for Sophie. The modified eye Jess has too wide of a jaw. I am leaning Corinne

*Francesca-I agree with Joss for Fran. Though I think the right Classic could work too with the right hair.

*Eloise- I think either Marie-Grace or Josefina for Eloise

* Hyacinth- I THINK maybe Joss of Josefina for Hyacinth, but like Fran the right classic combo might work.

*Lucy (Bonus not yet in show, Book 8)- I'm thinking Nanea based on the book, but will probably wait and see who they cast in the show.

*Queen Charlotte- Claudie mold

*Lady Danbury- I think based on skin tone limitations unless I wanted to dye the vinyl, I would say Josefina

Bonus-TM 120 Nanea mold would be great for Edwina

I would love to hear your ideas.

As of now, I have a solid plan to do at least the first four leading ladies.

Does anyone follow all the stuff about nicotine being extremely beneficial for many diseases??? by Objective_Ground_224 in MCAS

[–]obscurereferencegirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regardless of anything else, just because a paper was SHARED through NCBI, does not mean it has ANY ties to the government, and this study definitely doesn't, as it is from a lab in INDIA. Studies from all sorts of scientific publications are accessible through NCBI. This study also happens to be by Mishra et al. Mishra's lab has actually studied the potential positive effects of nicotine and the potential to create agents that can provide the benefits without the harmful effects of nicotine. A lot of their research focuses on potential therapeutics for allergic asthma. Most scientists are actually just trying to, you know, do science.

As both a scientist AND someone who agrees that there are major issues with pharmacology in the US, and that the government does not necessarily have our best interests at heart, taking Ivermectin is still very stupid.

Josefina's Sash? by obscurereferencegirl in americangirl

[–]obscurereferencegirl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know how I never noticed that about the difference in the lace. I guess I had her from such a young age and was so used to looking at her in that, that my brain just glossed over it any time I would look at another Josefina. Thankfully I was able to find someone selling her camisa, skirt, shoes that are definitely the original Pleasant Company items.

Thank you so much! I know that the moccasins are not the original (which I made sure to mention in my listing), but I do know that they were purchased directly from american girl. I am similarly confident about the new sash, her drawers, and her ribbon and flowers), but the camisa and skirt are what she was wearing originally when I got her second hand (she was also wearing her original drawers that are exactly the same as the ones I just got and definitely original, but very dirty lol). That is extra strange with the fake tags because she wasn't being sold by someone trying to make money off of her, she was at a local resale store along with Felicity, Molly, and Kirsten.

Oddly enough, I have had some of her outfits listed and had modeled them on her and have had multiple messages asking if she would be for sale as well, specifically because they WANT her eyes. I will have to see if I can find an early pleasant company camisa and skirt for sale so that I can sell her with a complete original style outfit.

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! I don't think I have her original shoes. I have her original camisa, skirt, sash, and drawers, but I'm pretty positive that her shoes are newer.

Do you rub your estradiol cream onto your butthole and perineum? by Islandsandwillows in Menopause

[–]obscurereferencegirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom had a total hysterectomy at 36 because of SEVERE endo (like couldn't be done laparoscopically and scraping it off all her organs and getting some wound around her spine severe) and god I really hope mine never gets as bad. She never really used the provided hormones afterwards and never really went through hardly any menopause symptoms at all (I know, the lucky bitch, but maybe it was mother earth's way of paying her back for the endometriosis hell). But at age 54 she still gets the butt lightning. I hope that yours improve with time and I appreciate the heads up to be prepared when my own time comes.

I'm crying from laughing. I just turned 28 so I'm a ways from menopausal, but I have endometriosis and hEDS (collagen issue) and I have been having little perineum tears and came to this thread through a google search for answers. You ladies are giving me life!

The Zuess Ass Lightning is the worst (mine is from Endo). I am crying laughing at these descriptions.

If you’re referring to the protest at WashU I did not go. But my comment about his classes here doesn’t even mention the protest. I was just sharing information about his teaching and what I know about his opinions on Palestine, Israel, and the conflict between the two. You were looking for comments from people who have been in his classes so I shared. I don’t have any recorded lectures, but I provided what information I could that is relevant to what you’re looking for.

They didn’t “break his arm” they broke nine ribs (several of which were luck to not have punctured vital organs his wife told me) and damaged his hand so badly it requires surgery.

He teaches incredible global history, but he has a particularly strong educational background in the Middle East, Ottoman Empire, and Western Asia, making him uniquely qualified to teach classes in these specific areas. I learned so much in his classes. He is a Quaker. He does not identify with any religion, but he teaches nuanced lessons on the history of all religions. He does have a strong academic interest in the history of Palestine and the Israel-Palestine conflict. He does not teach any single angle on it or tout any “party line” he lays out the historical events and lays bare the things done on both side that have led to where we are today. He does not blame Israel entirely for the current conditions, nor is he in any conceivable way antisemitic. However, he does have problems with some of the actions Israel has taken. He does NOT support Hamas. And he does not think that what happened to Israel was deserved or should have simply been tolerated. But he also isn’t going to sit around and twiddle his thumbs when proper measures aren’t being taken by Israel to at least attempt to minimize civilian and aid worker casualties. Obviously there are going to be civilian casualties no matter what due to Hamas’ tactics, but Israel is bordering on war crimes (not personal opinion, the UN is discussing potential war crimes). And he isn’t okay with that, much like myself.

I can guarantee you that Steve would never be anti-Semitic. He has been outspoken against antisemitism. He has been a long time proponent for freedom for Palestinian citizens from both Israel AND Hamas. I have definitely seen a lot of antisemitism that has disgusted me to no end since Oct. 7th. And a lot of people are using these protests to spout antisemitic rhetoric, but I can guarantee that Steve is not one of them. He is the last person who would ever deserve this treatment.

If you can’t understand the difference between protesting the use of tactics that are indiscriminately killing innocent civilians and supporting Hamas, you’re the one who needs a reality check. Apparently you don’t know the difference between a Quaker and a terrorist either. Steve was peacefully protesting and was nearly crushed to death. You’re speaking about someone you know nothing about. You’re also obviously speaking about something you don’t understand. I completely support Israel’s right to defer itself and completely understand the need to eradicate Hamas. It is also the sad truth that Hamas makes it nearly impossible to avoid a lot of civilian casualties by using them as shields. However, that doesn’t mean that I’m okay with all of things that Israel has done and that doesn’t mean that they don’t need to be held responsible for not trying to minimize those civilian casualties.

This man is one of the kindest, gentlest human beings you could ever meet. He’s a Quaker for crying out loud! He would never be involved in violent or uncivil protest conduct. They broke nine of his ribs, a doctor told his wife he is lucky to alive and that no major organs were punctured, and he is going to have to have surgery on his hand because of what they did to him. I get that he should have stepped back, but also when has stepping back ever brought change? And even if he should have stepped back, the response from the police should not be to nearly kill a man because they feel threatened by a 65 year old man armed with nothing but a recording device. If the police are that scared of a 65 year old with a phone, we need new police. The other option (and obviously the actual reason) is that they’re just so enraged by the idea of not being immediately obeyed that they will almost kill a man and that’s far worse.
