Help me decide what to buy?

Hi friends!

I wanna get some smart glasses to use for my tattoo sessions and fun adventures. I always wanted to be able to record my POV and now I can!

My husband offered to buy me a pair for my birthday which is incredible but I wanted to get some opinions.

  1. Should I wait until Black Friday? I’d rather buy them in person, not online so I feel like it might be a moot point since I’m going on a trip before then.
  2. Is there any benefit to waiting? Are they worth it? I see tons of great videos that appear to have been recorded with them and idk.

I’m just on the fence if I should go find a pair this week or if I should wait a bit.

My comfortable price point is looking like Gen 2. But I’m so tired of buying the new iPhone for a new one to release the next week and being on “old tech” perpetually. People say my iPhone 12 is old but it’s only been like 5 years since I got it. Feels a bit ridiculous imo. Lol. I still use my Sony camera from 10 years ago and the quality still holds up to this day without feeling far behind.

Alliterate names? ✨

Does anyone else like finding alliterate or fun-to-say names you’re willing to share?

Here’s some of mine:

Aynzlee the Alien Aisha
(Ainsley misspell)
Kyrasao the Candy Kau
(Curaçao misspell)
Vylore The Valentine Vandagyre
(I say vy-lore, was supposed to be like Velour)

Most of mine have fun naming schemes that probably make more sense to me than anyone else, but I love when the full “title” sounds cute and punchy lol

Pics welcome too. Love seeing what you all are proud of!

My Top 5 🖤✨ Who’s your fave?

I started collecting in 2022, and here we are in 2026! Clementine here was my very last doll added to my collection.

I wanted to share my journey with you—while you may not remember me or know me, I think this might be my final post here and I wanted to give you all the thanks you deserve.

I never collected much of anything my entire life, but I was completely hyperfixated on these gorgeous dolls the moment I saw them.

I’d have done anything for dolls like these as a little girl. Coincidentally, I was in a stage of life where I was revisiting my childhood, not really understanding at the time that I was finally mourning the loss of it.

I just want to keep it positive here, so I wanted to thank everyone who engaged with my posts, complimented my customs, made doll clothes for me, and gave me a really fun community to look forward to when I was returning to the child in me to give her everything she deserved and say a proper farewell.

It’s really dramatic and metaphorical but I’ve decided to only keep 5-10 dolls, and finding new homes for them has been just as exciting as finding them in the first place was for me. I feel so free of all the emotions I had processed while having these dolls in my life, and seeing a visible space from everything I’m letting go of is just so refreshing.

I’m turning 30 soon and trying to downsize everything in my life to live more sustainably and I can’t have too much stuff anymore, I didn’t realize how overwhelming it is for me!😂

If you read this far, thank you very much for being part of this community — all the creativity and kindness I experienced here is truly special I still look forward to seeing what you design. 🌙✨

I need some updates please 👀

I’m no longer collecting, in fact I am completely unloading my collection and sending it off to new homes. I love dolls but I no longer want to own them, I went way too crazy healing my inner child and now I’m hoping to help others heal theirs. It’s been a blast helping them find new collections to belong to, and taking the photos before putting them online has been sooo cathartic!

I put my collection into storage for a year or two first, thinking if I didn’t reach for them again, it’s time to let go. And now, it’s that time.

With that said, what’s been going on since the reboot? Can anyone catch me up?

I noticed the website is gone, I’m confused on what the fantasy dolls are, and is there a new direction or is this it?

Any tea? Any new updates or anything at all?

Even though I no longer collect dolls and am actively downsizing, I still love seeing everyone’s work and photography here. Ive just seen a few posts with breadcrumbs and I haven’t found enough info about what’s been going on. Appreciate your thoughts :)

How to get started?

Hi! I’m back after being gone since around 2014 when most of my friends left. I’m no longer in high school and doubt anyone I used to know still uses it, but I’d really love to make some new mutuals and find my place here again.

I plan to post mostly my own photography, music, writing, tattoos, etc. I’m starting with photosets of all my favorite nature shots, concerts, and general self-expression (: does this interest anyone or line up in a way where maybe you could check out my blog and help me make some friends?

I’d also love if anyone has tips to get started or meet people, the app is overwhelmingly full of content in a way that’s hard for me to know where to jump in, but making friends here was my favorite thing back in the day! <3 I’d love a “survival guide” if anyone has one lol!

Weird question but… I thought I’d reach out the community here!

I’m wondering if any of y’all are in SoCal?

I’m looking to downsize massively, and spend time restyling/preparing dolls, but if there’s a fellow collector nearby who wants to chat, hang out and perhaps walk away with a few dolls themselves, I’d love to connect! I also have the original dollhouse that I’d give to someone I don’t have to ship to :)

I’m in a new chapter of sorts but it’s hard to start the process when no one I know irl shares the love for these girls! Please let me know if you’re interested and I’ll share a bit more about myself in the comments so you know I’m not a weirdo lol ☺️🩷

Island Progress: Welcome to Redwood!

It was so hard to get photos of absolutely everything that makes this place special! This is my third island, but it’s the first I’ve actually gotten close to finishing without randomly placing stuff just to call it a day.

I approached this one with a few inspirations, ultimately hoping to combine all of my favorite themes into one. I wanted it to be walkable, less cluttered, and more intentional spaces.

Outside, I have several areas that span across the island: a shopping district, farmers market, park, tea garden, flower field, hot spring, zen/sand garden walk, rock garden, music festival grounds, community farm, and several viewpoints for mountainous river views, stargazing and plenty of visual depth!

There’s also a beach boardwalk with a boating dock, and I hope to add an outdoor movie theater if I can find the space. I have an extra villager home that will be an inn/tavern, and will convert villager homes to match their respective spaces as garden “caretakers”.

This is Redwood, where the pines meet the tropics! Hope to have a DA very soon, but if you read this far you’re more than welcome to visit for a giveaway very soon!
