was casually scrolling FB marketplace this morning (like at 6am) and managed to nab a Caroline for $80!! her hair is a HOT MESS but i’m actually kind of excited to try and tackle it as my first restoration project. her limbs are pretty loose and she has some scuffs but other than that i think she is gorgeous! i will take any advice on dealing with her hair lol
tagged under doll customization bc i’m debaaaaaating spending $63 on the TM 73 who’s on final sale on the AG website right now, but i would want to wig her. curious to see if anyone else has used her as a blank slate for customizing her hair? the Sonali mold is really cute and i’m wondering if i should snag her while she’s around even if i would have to learn to wig her lol
tried on Kirsten’s bday outfit for the first time since the weather in my neck of the woods is finally nice enough… wahhhh!!! she’s sooooo cute i just LOVE her :”-) i also have a Kira doll who was originally going to be my Marta but i think she’s better suited to be Kirsten’s “rival” Nora from “Kirsten and the New Girl” (obviously referring to poor Nora as her rival is a bit sarcastic! i love the lesson that Kirsten ends up learning in that short story). i am absolute flaming hot garbage at doing any hairstyles (i am a huge tomboy and just… never learned how to do hairdos… skipped past that part of girlhood apparently lmao) so i’m going to have a friend braid Nora/Marta/Kira’s hair for me tomorrow after work. ok! thanks for lookin :”-)
looks like the PP collab is available on back order. i thought i’d heard that it had sold out last week even though it’s still on preorder)
ok hi me again… i ended up buying the Emily Bennett doll… couldn’t pass her up, she’s in beautiful condition and came with her holiday dress. i’m not really interested in the 40s (more focused on 1930s with Kit) but i have recently gotten more into collecting modern era outfits (specifically 90s and 00s— my childhood). my TM 121 needed a friend so behold! a redhead enters the fold! Emily is such a cutie, i feel like she fits the “modern era” better than the 40s (her haircut is honestly reminiscent of the Aniston look). i put her in the Urban Outfit and she looks! so! stinkin! CUUUUTE!!!!!!
trying to figure out who this girly is… i think she’s overpriced considering the condition of her wig (and that she’s clearly not Lindsey), but who is she?
thank u gang!!!
wassup chat… apologies if i tagged this incorrectly— after telling myself to stop spending money on AG stuff i bought Nikki’s skateboard outfit because it’s listed as “limited quantities” on the AG site. that means it’s going to be gone-gone soon, right? i’m new to this 🥺
found 121 in the wild (sort of?) at an AG resell store in Milford NH for $135 this past weekend. i’ve been on the hunt for her ever since seeing some folks in this sub suggest she makes for a great, book-accurate Ruthie Smithens alternative. she’s really hard to find on eBay and even then she’s pretty pricey. wondering if getting her NIB for the same price as current dolls was a score, considering she’s been retired for about a year or so (correct me if i’m wrong)? at the very least, i’m excited cuz she’s such a cutie and has been on my long-term hit list and i really didn’t think i’d find her so soon into the beginning of my collection. debating on what to name her, was thinking Joan or something that would’ve been a popular girl’s name in the 1930s. ok! thank you! TTYL!!!!
hi everyone!! me again!! there’s a doll for sale the next town over for like thirty bucks and i want to grab her and maybe make her into one of Kirsten’s cousins or something BUT… she looks like she could be Molly? photos attached. Molly and i have beef. i don’t know why. she’s always made me wanna throw hands. i’m sorry to those of you who love Molly. it’s not personal!! anyway thank you for helping :”-)
