Defa Lucy quality?

Defa Lucy quality?

Hi! I was wondering if there were any Defa Lucy collectors around here and if so, what’s the quality like? I’m thinking of getting one from the new playline set for my birthday and they look gorgeous, but I’ve never had one and I’m not sure about the overall quality. Is it worth it? The collector dolls even have a pretty good price when compared to collector Barbies (I know Mattel’s quality has dropped) but I’d like to know more by someone who collects them.

EDIT: I’m most likely gonna skip, I didn’t mind the blind box concept cause I like all the dolls but I checked the website and only for a dress it’s 70ish € shipping to Italy where I am. I’ll try to find some people who wanna join in to share the cost but it’s unlikely. As far as I know there’s no retailers here.

First time flying

First time flying, only two hours Italy-Paris but I’m extremely anxious
I got some natural anxiety drops but I’ll take them in a while
I just really want to be reassured and everyone around me isn’t too helpful with the “it’s not big deal” mindset

Help me choose! Versatile Paris Sets

I bought two versatile Paris discovery sets, after eliminating some that I thought would smell better (chai) and some I like but wouldn’t want on my skin (rital date)
Here’s what I selecte:

- croissant cafe: really coffee like, not espresso but sweet cappuccino. Like walking into a cafe with warm pastries
- god bless cola: sparkling and fresh, candy cola bottles rather than soda
- it’s a match-a: surprisingly identical to powdered matcha, was not expecting it
- culot thè: strong jasmine tea, starts with a light orange blossom scent
- sea, sud and sun: orange blossom, HEAVY, I was hoping to smell the sweet pastry more tbh

Help with summer heat!

Hello! This is my first post on this subreddit
This is Taru, my baby boy, he’s been with me for about 12 years now, although he’s about 14 years old. He’s an hermann’s tortoise and for the most part of his life we never had any issues aside from his picky eating.
He’s always had a lot of space to roam and move about, we have a terrace and an indoor veranda where he can stay when it’s too sunny where he gets his favourite corners to sleep.
We live in Italy, southern and there comes our big issue: in the past years the heat has been getting bad and that’s not even the worst part, that would be the humidity that comes with it - being an Hermann’s tortoise, a breed that come from dry places, Taru struggles a lot, to the point he doesn’t move much and won’t even eat.
Does anyone have any advice on how I could help him, have you had any similiar experiences?
We’ve even tried to take him with us on vacation or on the countryside, unfortunately he’s very habitual and doesn’t like being in a space different from his home to the point he still doesn’t eat much.
He’s silly and a bit of an asshole but I care for him and would like to help him, especially with our city reaching up to 35 degrees Celsius this summer and over 50% of humidity

Is it an unpopular opinion?

Okay so, this is a bit of an analysis of mine and wanted to make others aware to share opinions
I love Freddie, he’s the sweetest and I love his dynamic with Lizzie, they’re two sweet dorks and deserve each others. They’re the most normal people in this whole series.
Yet there’s this one teeny tiny thing that kinda bothers me, I was talking about this with my aunt with whom I’ve been rewatching the whole series.
He really doesn’t worry enough about the dynamics of an affair.
And I’m not talking about Valerie or James but Lizzie main concern: their kids, the main reason they’re so on again off again is cause Lizzie can’t ignore how damaging this whole thing can be, she tells Monica too, it hurts the people around and yet it seems to me Freddie doesn’t seem to think about this too much.
His daughter is convinced her mother doesn’t like her and wishes to be loved how their parents love each other and, irony aside, you’d think that would make him think about it and yet it’s once again Lizzie that needs to pull away because she sees how big the risk is.
I know I’m an over thinker and over analyse but i thought it might be a nice input for a conversation.

Declan and Taggie’s Birthday

I was wondering if I’m the only one who feels this way but I was very irked by the way Declan behaved during the golden gauntlet (specifically in regards to Taggie) and I wanted to see if anyone else felt the same way.
I have not read the books, I have Rivals but I’m not a native English speaker (so it takes a while) and apparently they are not available in my language.
Anyways, I know many people felt like there was little Taggie and too much Declan and Maud and to be honest it didn’t really bother me, I can understand wanting to focus on their relationship, especially with the mid season escalation with Monica and all. However I was pissed at the way Taggie’s birthday was glossed over, how there were no scenes regarding the fact not one of her relatives remembered.
On one side, no big deal because I think it works in the sense that there is no need for any scenes because it’s telling us how little surprising this is, so much that Taggie isn’t surprised either “I do not expect you to remember”.
And hey, I hate Maud as much as the next person but
What pissed me off the most was Declan’s behaviour during the Golden Gauntlet. Rupert tells him he forgot Taggie’s birthday and his response is “talk to Cameron”. What?
He just told you you forgot your daughter’s birthday, yes you were in Ireland but you could’ve called and your response is “talk to your girlfriend” as if those were on the same level. You and her had a couple days together and now you’re worried about how their relationship is working but not about having forgot your daughter’s birthday?? Maybe I’m in the wrong but that’s what the scene communicated to me, that he was more preoccupied with Cameron.
Let’s not talk about how Taggie had a cake made out of doughnuts and her brother had a huge 21st.
Might be a bit of a rant but I recently rewatched s2 with my aunt and this reaaally irked me.

Brands like LBCC Apothecary?

I’m a student in costume and fashion history and when I found out about them I was incredibly happy.
Unfortunately for me they do not ship to Europe at the current moment. Anybody knows of similiar brands that do?

My very first G1 Draculaura!! - slowly completing my Reel Drama Collection

A very kind person on Vinted managed to get me a Reel Drama Draculaura for its retail price and I’m so so happy
I was a big Draculaura fan as a child and while now my fav is Lagoona I’m so glad I could get this one version of her, Reel Drama is my big chance to have some basic versions. Clawdeen and Cleo are the only ones missing but Draculaura was the hardest one to find and my priority

Non mi paghi? Okay ma almeno fa le cose BENE

Per contesto: frequento un indirizzo accademico di spettacolo, costume nello specifico. Partecipo ad un progetto di un professore, che non è neanche professore mio. Ovviamente nessuna paga se non qualche misero credito. E sapete cosa? Me lo faccio anche andare bene, per fare un briciolo di esperienza di merda.
Ma fosse il problema peggiore, no, qua la gente vuole fare il cinema con zero organizzazione e zero soldi.
Mi mandano a cercare cose alla cieca senza un budget sostanzioso a cercare le cose nei mercati solo con tanta speranza e madonne E CI SI ASPETTA CHE MAGICAMENTE IO TROVI O FACCIA COSE AVVISANDOMI SOLO IL GIORNO PRIMA.

Non dico che puoi fare queste cose solo se hai un sacco di soldi, dico però che se hai le pretese di farlo particolarmente bene e con pretese specifiche, allora lì devi metterci dei soldi perché se no ti arrangi con quello che si trova.
Se ci sono comparse di qualche tipo che devono essere vestite NON PUOI INFORMARMI IL GIORNO PRIMA QUANDO TE L’HO CHIESTO PER UNA SETTIMANA
Se vuoi fare le cose in economia, almeno siano fatte con professione.
Non lo dico neanche con ignoranza, perché non è una primissima esperienza, infatti so bene che con un basso budget ma buona volontà e organizzazione si fa comunque qualcosa di buono ma non ci si può aspettare che la gente stia agli stracazzo di comodi tuoi.

Creeproductions costing more than the OG dolls is crazy

I’m sorry, might be silly maybe but weren’t they supposedly a way for fans to get older dolls that aren’t available anymore? I know Mattel creates scarcity and they are all technically limited editions (even though we’ve been proved they can be restocked) but it’s come to the point where it’s easier to find and original Draculaura or Clawdeen for around 70€ (which I COULD even understand with an original doll in perfect condition) while the Creepros’ prices have quadrupled or quintupled even. I can understand the price raising but it gets incredibly stupid.

And I’m very glad it’s Cupid! Honestly I love her, she’s gorgeous to me. The part I like the least is her overalls, (the red works, it’s the emoji pattern I don’t like), I love the glossy look of her skin and her gradient legs, her column heels and her hair too!! Regarding quality, g3 seems pretty solid! I like the body mold, love the “proportioned” look. Scary Sweet Birthday is such a good line, I hope to get them all in the future but for now Cupid was my focus
