Dollar Store Fashion Parade
Some of my girls are glamming, including finds for hard-to-fit Petite Barbie.
The dress with the fancy sleeves is from Dollar Tree, and I promise I could not sew those sleeves for $1.25 in effort. The other outfits are from a Toymazing fashion pack from Family Dollar, which I bought because it featured flat shoes. Welp, the sandals barely fit Skipper, so what I've achieved is shoes for my three Stacie dolls. That also needed doing, so win-win.
However the huge win was that the clothing in the pack is generally cut short and narrow, so Petite Barbie scored a flattering jumpsuit.
My hope was that some of the items would also look good on Skipper, who's been stuck wearing camo pants and a crop top. Everything is a little loose on her, as if she's been thrifting and picking clothing that's fine in length but a little too old for her. The flowered dress is the least "off." At least her sandals, from the same Toymazing pack, fit.
One item in the Toymazing pack looked loose, so I tried it on Alexis, as the jeans and hiking boots Mom had her in are way too warm for summer. It fits!
Meanwhile, the real jewel is this dress that is much more detailed than the usual Dollar Tree dress. We went to the Dollar Tree in rural Willits, California, and I'm not sure if they had more stock because there aren't a lot of places to shop in Willits or if they had old stock because life moves slower up there. Either way, those sleeves on Sophie are epic.

That feel when your performing groups have been touring separately and you finally get to see each other again.

Pictures from my trip to Paris and the museums I visited #ParisTrip #AmWriting
Today’s video is a break from my normal routine.
Back in 2014, my daughter and I took a trip to Paris. I took these photos in museums all around Paris, and now I thought it might be fun to upload them and see what you think.
Feel free to leave comments and/or suggestions. Should I have narrated, or was it fun to just look at the artwork alongside my doll?
If you’re wondering why I’m taking a…

she'd go watch barbie in theaters for the vibes but as soon as the credits roll, she starts writing a long critic on a radical feminist point of view.
she would not go watch barbie because barbie is an agent of patriarchal capitalism ("is she a feminist girlboss with 3000 jobs or does she have 3000 outfits you can buy ?") from her marxist feminist point of view.
she has been hyped by the movie since its announcement.
she's never going to watch barbie because she doesn't like movies and has more important things to do (arresting criminals, mothering etc).
edit 21h02 : film trop bien, la kiffance ryan gosling t'es l'homme de ma vie 9/10 j'aurais aimé plus de misandrie par contre

Im a bit late to the party but i bought a 'my first barbie' today
Her body went to this simba toys ariel head that ive had sitting around for ages. I had to shorten the top of the neckpeg but other than that the head fits great which is great because the original simba body had one of those big spherical pegs so ariel has been a poor match for standard barbie bodies...
I find these proportions very pleasing. She is wearing a thrifted dress that i think is made for a small baby/toddler doll, and rainbow high shoes.
Im tempted to get another at some point because i really like how the body looks with a regular scale head.
The soft vinyl picks up a lot of dust though which i know is going to irritate me. I wish she had wrist articulation but other than that im very charmed with her.

This is amazing! We need a whole album of Ryan Gosling singing melodramatic songs of Ken just projecting his love for Barbie.

One thing I respect this fandom for so much is deciding sure alecto may be blonde but she's still 7 feet tall with the muscle tone of an adonis and a gaze that could level cities
