Went doll hunting today at the Ashley’s Collectibles, in downtown Omaha

I don’t know if it’s just me, but didn’t the Sasha dolls always have the best outfits for every Bratz collection.

I remember being shocked for the first time seeing dolls the had clothes that people in the real world might or could wear. (I don’t remember everyone dressing this stylish on the regular). Although Bratz dolls always got a bad wrap for over-sexualisation and inappropriate themes (sometimes deserved), I wonder if anyone noticed the more nuanced reflection of femininity in Bratz dolls, that other doll lines weren’t exploring at the time.

I found quite a few holiday Barbies while out thrifting the other day. I get why people are so keen on collecting these their designs are ridiculous. I’m obsessed with the happy holidays Barbie with the white hair and emerald dress, vintage Barbies really were extravagant, in a way they still are in some ways today.

The 2021 holiday Barbie is one of the more stunning modern Barbies I’ve seen in a while. Its unfortunate she’s not more articulated, her design is everything a holiday Barbie should be, flashy, over the top, and seasonal. I like the metal breast plate embellishment, it reminds me of some fashion trends that are popular right now. I’m definitely impressed by her hair. I would not be surprised if people were over everyone «making a big deal» about it, but it’s impressive to see braids executed in this way, not to mention the implications of a Barbie having her hair styled this way.

(I threw the winter evening Barbie into this post because she fits right in and I’m obsessed with the fur hat and coat)
