I was looking for some doll hair and it seems a couple of the sellers I followed are no longer in business. The only suppliers still selling in North America, that I know of, are The Doll Planet, Shimmerlocks, and Restore Doll. I mean, there’s that other one, but we don’t talk about them.
Anyone know of others?
I had a list, I have lost the list. sorry I only remember retrodollsUS. boosting.
Doll friends… show me your favorite custom you’ve made
Vip pet spring edition x fail fix body with an omg outfit. She just has a ton of personality
if I had to choose faves, it’d be the green/teal gals,some bratz customs, the star darlings rainbow and figuring out how to make rainbow high eyes (not pictured)
Neill-Cochran House Museum is a small museum in Austin that I really admire because of the important interpretation work they’re doing (such as recently hosting Joseph McGill of the Slave Dwelling Project). The museum also hosts community events, and for me, that’s helped me start feeling comfortable on the grounds instead of just coming once and being done. Last weekend they hosted a fun tie-dyeing event. I tie-dyed an old tee shirt that I later sewed into a couple of doll tee shirts, including this one that Melody is modeling.
*Who is ridiculously cute!!??* I ask you. There is a correct answer.
Thank you so much to @adventuresindolls for making this absolutely fabulous sweater!!! Lindsey looks so great in it!!! I really want to have cool knitting skills like this some day!!!
Lindsey is lesbian in my head canon, so also: happy Pride to all!!

We went to Target today and something told me to check the toy aisle. My Target never usually has the newest RH dolls when they come out, but I thought it was worth a try anyway.
Wellllll they had 4 Ainsley’s and all of Series 4! I was so excited I literally squealed lol my husband looked at me, sighed, and said “fiiine. Consider it an early birthday present. But you can only get one!” and naturally I picked Ainsley ‘cause I ain’t no fool. I also hinted that the others I didn’t choose would make for a great surprise present (hint hint)
This one was the best of them… And she has some minor cosmetic issues butttt idc. I’m so happy to get my Ainsley!! I’m debating whether to save her for my birthday or not… Idk if I can wait that long
We have a couple new additions to the family! First up is this adorable baby loth-kitty–a gift from @kingdomheartsloversstuff Hope immediately adopted them–not sure of a name yet but we’re thinking about Deppa :)
And the newest girl in our family, Minako! For anyone who’s missed previous posts she is Baymax’s daughter–Tadashi built her as a nurse’s aid, Minimax, but after a short trial period in a hospital Baymax found that she was being mistreated and brought her home. Tadashi immediately shut down the project and Baymax adopted her, she now she travels back and forth between Hiro and Tadashi’s homes with her dad. She’s like a cousin to all the Hamada kids!
(She was a TLC Beforever Samantha as best I can tell, I found her in a thrift store and did a wig swap on her! This isn’t her official Meet outfit but I thought for the time being it will work!)
Even though Minako doesn’t want to go back into human healthcare she wants to grow up to be a zoo veterinarian and especially loves penguins!

Classes had just ended and Vonnie was looking forward to her weekend of downtime before the Mississippi Summer Project would begin.
After months of planning, Vonnie’s fellow activist Julian Bond* had publicly announced the project. Hundreds of students, Black and White, would travel together to attempt to help Blacks register to vote. They had selected Mississippi, where less than seven percent of eligible Black voters were registered to vote. The young volunteers would document the barriers (poll taxes, tests applied unevenly to Black and White voters, direct and indirect intimidation) to use in lawsuits in a longterm effort to remove those barriers.**
Yvonne would lead teach-ins for students her age, mostly white students from Northern universities, to help them go door to door to speak with people in Black neighborhoods. They needed to be prepared for fear from the people they were trying to organize and for violence from the Ku Klux Klan and others who felt threatened by the idea of Blacks voting. They also knew that if they were targeted by the KKK or other vigilantes, law enforcement would likely look the other way.
Yvonne had talked to her parents by phone. They themselves were preparing for the Detroit Walk to Freedom, which they urged her to come home and attend. As much as they knew her activism with SNCC was risky, they supported her if that was her choice.
Vonnie cradled her head in her arm, resting up on the lawn of her college before the unknowns of the situation ahead of her.

I’m adding detail about Freedom Summer to a storyline started in No Ordinary Sound by Denise Lewis Patrick
Yvonne is gorgeous. I love that I always learn something new from your posts.
well y'all, the unthinkable happened today: i found a Sonali at the thrift store for $30?????
I was like, there’s no way, she’s surely just a different sonali mold?? but after some digging & asking in ID groups, I was able to confirm it for sure: apparently, Gwen and Sonali have 4-digit numbers on their tags (mine & other eBay Sonali tags I’ve seen say 0099), and TM47 has an alphanumeric string on her tag. Who knew!
She’s scuffed, a bit marked on, and has frizzy hair, but overall in good shape?? Her head was loose, so I went ahead and removed it to fix her face scrapes & shine marks with micromesh, and roll her hair after boiling/ice water dunks. tomorrow, I’ll be VERY carefully treating her limb stains with benzoyl peroxide. (Thankfully they’re just on the back of her arms and legs!)
I’m still stunned and in disbelief. She’s beautiful and I’m so excited to restore & take good care of her!
these past few months i’ve been struggling a lot with fatigue. it’s hard for me to do about anything (let alone take doll photos) without getting exhausted and/or tired. even today i’ve struggled with that
but this summer i hope that things will change. i’m getting a new rainbow high doll tomorrow, and i hope to travel to more places. i also wanna be active for pride this year!
my fatigue is beginning to clear up and i’m thankful that it has. expect more of anuhea’s nature expeditions! :D
I hope that you feel better soon. Anuhea is adorable.
The sun is very bright today, so once again I couldn’t see my phone screen and had no idea how these pictures were turning out. Which is why I didn’t notice the shadows and reflections of Skylar’s glasses were making her look like she has two black eyes until we returned inside, whoops. I promise, no dolls were harmed in the making of these photos.
Molly is distracted from her lesson by how beautiful Mrs. Campbell is and how much Molly likes her attention.
(I was going to quote from Molly Learns a Lesson, but I’ve jacked up my leg while chasing my silly cat, which is limiting me getting around today to find it).
I actually had Molly’s books as a tween, when I was going through my first crush on a female teacher. I wish I’d taken more solace from the book at the time.
