i recently completely reorganized my entire doll collection, including all the clothes and accessories! now that i'm finished, i've been enjoying the fruits of that labor SO much. i know where everything is and it makes it so much easier to just play with my dolls when i want to! ^_^

changed naoko into some fall clothes today and did a style edit breaking down what they're wearing! i love making these ✰

photo title: boys like me. photo caption: a photo i took of an american girl doll i customized to look like myself. i embroidered little top surgery scars embroidered on his chest that match mine, dyed his wig, and painted his little eyebrows and other facial details! a photo of this doll is something i’d want me health provider to see because it explains a lot about me as a person: i’m a trans man who has had top surgery with no nipple grafts, i’m autistic and my special interest is american girl dolls. That special interest is important enough to me that it’s a lens through which I see the world and myself. Having interests and an appearance which is not traditionally masculine doesn’t change the fact that i am a man.

a selfie of emmett, a trans man with pink hair, a scruffy beard, and pink glasses. he is smiling. in his lap is an american girl doll who has been customized to look like him. emmett and his doll are dressed in matching colorful shirts and denim overalls.

i recently took this portrait of my american girl doll mini-me for a trans health research project i took part in. the research question was “what do you want your health provider to know about you?” photo info in the alt text!

+ a bonus pic of me and my mini 💕

Multi billion dollar companies giving printed doll outfits like this should be tried in a court of law and sent to Guantanamo #dollsky

the writing books came with early american girl of today dolls! the book titles mirrored the format of historical character AG books, and encouraged doll owners to write their own stories about their AGoT dolls. so cute!! more info: americangirl.fandom.com/wiki/America...

it’s always a happy day when a new issue of doll news reaches my mailbox! sitting down with a cup of coffee to read it now. 🥰

i actually can't find any information about these "friends together" dolls except on the ebay listings where i found them. lauren and sadako are pictured here, and there are listings for two others named kerry and leila as well. they appear to be handmade montessori-type dolls with pretty, detailed clothing and yarn hair! they remind me of the cloth-faced doll kits made by glorex, bigger versions of the kathe kruse dollhouse-sized dolls, or an earlier version of bamboletta dolls.

when searching for cloth body dolls on ebay, i stumbled across this fascinating doll and immediately clicked to learn more. she's a "feelings and emotions" doll from lakeshore learning. these are still available for sale through their website with this description: "Introduce the concept of feelings and emotions with our adorable soft-sewn dolls! Perfect for circle time or dramatic play, each cloth doll features a permanently stitched expression that helps children recognize the emotions of others—and learn to understand their own feelings. Best of all, the multi-ethnic dolls are completely machine-washable! Set includes all 4 dolls; each measures 12" tall."

today on browsing ebay and researching plush dolls i've never heard of: friends together dolls (left) and lakeshore feelings & emotions dolls (right). musings and info in alt text!
