Wow, rare to see an actual “I ❤️ You!” in children’s Valentines. And when your teacher makes you give a Valentine to EVERY student in your classroom, Barbie’s got you covered–for that weird kid: “You’re special!”
This one had been my project for a month or so! She is Large. Very Large. But also not as heavy as a resin SD. She poses well and is super fun. I did pretty extensive mods on her face trying to make her look more stylized and less childlike.
She’s a Parabox 80cm Otohime Yu-Chan and she wears: 26mm eyes (could probably do 28mm since I enlarged them) 16-17 inch wig (Monique human hair and one from Parabox) Newborn and 0-3 month baby clothes Size 2 baby shoes
I also followed ao_ame0321 on Twitter’s tips to joint her hands so they’re very fun now. She’s also super fun to dress since I can pick up $2 baby clothes when I go by the thrift store.
Broke: Barbie’s many different careers are a way to sell dolls and accessories to little kids.
Woke:Barbie had every single one of those careers and is an immortal timeless being.
Bespoke:Barbie’s different careers are different versions of Barbie from across the multiverse who occasionally swap place with each other or combine into one Barbie.
SO THERE’S SOMETHING Y’ALL SHOULD KNOW ABOUT…
Attack of the clones
I have often used Barbie to explain Greek mythology, and people laugh until I explain it, and then they get really serious and thoughtful.
I say, “The Greeks ascribed aspects to gods. Apollo had many aspects, but all were Apollo. He’s like Barbie that way. She’s an astronaut, a veterinarian, and a rollerskater, but no matter which of those things she is in the moment, she is always still Barbie. She is Barbie in her aspect as.”
Then people get not only the idea of “aspects” of godhood, but also, well, the changeable yet eternal nature of Barbie.
