some quick drawings from the past few days. big fan of the second one, it's supposed to look like little red riding hood. the thought process was "what if the big bad wolf was just a looming shadowy presence over red for the whole time she's in the woods" along with a more... i guess "modern" take on red's design with a more tomboyish look. i imagine she's something like cerise hood mixed with red from hoodwinked. that was a lot of talking, sorry... there's also a dyna might from lalaloopsy girls, and the thing, the myth, the legend, gonzo the great. with a little top hat. :3
Hoy es un buen día para apreciar a una de nuestras favoritas, quien ha hecho reír a más de una en Lalaloopsylandia, y quien ha hecho las mejores actuaciones en toda su vida.
Sin importar si estuviera sola o con alguien más, siempre sabe como dejar que la actuación de la noche sea un gran espectáculo; y a lo largo de su vida ha sabido como hacer mejores actuaciones sin dejar a un lado su belleza.
[ENGLISH]
Today is a good day to appreciate one of our favorites, who has made more than one of us laugh in Lalaloopsyland, and who has given the best performances in her entire life.
No matter if she was alone or with someone else, she always knows how to let the evening's performance be a great show; and throughout her life she has known how to make better performances without leaving aside her beauty.

Idk for sure if it's an observation of lalaloopsy as a whole but in the entirety of the series there are only 8 boys so...are men like an endangered species in the lalaloopsy world ?
Because Lalaloopsy is a doll line primarily marketed towards girls, it’s a common sight to see only a few boys alongside dozens of girls.
But Lalaloopsy Girls presents a strange scenario with the lack of boys on campus.
(ALT: A screencap from the movie Lalaloopsy Girls: Welcome to LALA Prep School. The screencap depicts the featured cast touring the school campus. What is noted is that the cast lacks male characters.)
If we were to judge based on the title, there was no intention to make older versions of the boy characters either.
Because Lalaloopsy Girls never continued, all we have left is to assume either the boys are attending a separate academy, or (at worst case) are seen as the inferior gender and are left home. 😭
Also among the Littles we only got one boy (Matey), so one can only imagine when the Littles grow older he’d be the only boy in their generation!
(ALT: A stock photo of Matey Anchors, a Lalaloopsy Little doll. He is small plastic doll with a large head and oven-mitt style hands. He has black button eyes, pink cheeks molded to appear sewn, and lips molded as stitches. He has light blue hair and a pale complexion. He wears a red, white and blue sailor outfit. He has a small pet orange crab, who also has molded on black button eyes.)
(Poor lil guy)
I think it also applies to We’re Lalaloopsy as well, even with the confirmation of outside towns and all there’s only two boys living in Town Square.
(ALT: A screencap from We’re Lalaloopsy (2017), the episode “Dot’s Big Storm”. The screencap depicts the characters Forest Evergreen and Ace Fender Bender, the only two male characters in the cartoon, making sleeping bags in Crumbs’ kitchen.)
Personally, I think Lalaloopsy Girls has the worst implications about gender since it is meant to be the “older years” for the main Lalaloopsy. No official word of what becomes of Patch, Forest, Ace, even the boys who never appeared in the cartoons.
However there is worse. The spin-offs of different casts (Oopsies, Ponies, and Pet Pals) consist entirely of girls. Don’t even think about questioning gender inequality for boys, because the boys don’t exist!

Because I was finally able to find mine again, from all the way back in the olden days when they were actually in production. :)
Pix E. Flutters here needs a little bit of TLC on her dress, and I'm going to need to remake her pajamas and hair clips since I lost them, but I'm really glad that I found her.
Her color-changing hair still works, too! I stuck her in the fridge, and the pale green parts of her hair turned a bright pink in just a few minutes.
Overall, I think the Lalaloopsy Girls are adorable, and I wish they lasted a bit longer. Heck, I like them better--way better--than the standard Lalas. While there's really nothing wrong with the standard Lalas, I just don't like baby/young child dolls as much as teen/adult dolls, so the Girls are more to my taste. They helped me get over my fear of button-eyed dolls, too (thank you for scarring my child self for years, Coraline [amazing movie, though; I just gave it another chance tonight, and I'm so glad I did!]).
