intensely detailed designers making highly realistic dolls and posing them in all sorts of scenes. each doll is a character with a whole backstory and relationships etc. I love the dedication to making the clothes and the tattoos and the piercings and room decorations just right then photographing them with all this drama.

I collect Bratz! I wasn’t allowed to play with the actual dolls as a child. So, I would go through department store catalogs and copy their outfits and styles onto paper dolls. Now I own the actual dolls I drew as a child! This definitely won’t be the last post I make about them.

i recently found out that the more joints a toy has, and the more posable it is, that toy makers and collectors call that “articulation” and i am obsessed.
pick up a 3D printed doohickey and drop a nice “wow, so articulate” 🤌

I have too much respect for the art of Bratz collecting to pretend like these dolls aren't meant to be played with. They were (and are) mass-produced so keeping them in their box only supports scalper culture and hurts you.
THAT BEING SAID, when I get a new Bratz doll (esp one with lots of fun lil accessories), I keep her in the box for a rainy day. It's hard to be sad while unboxing a new lil fashion doll. I'm a 30-year-old woman, and I'll open my toys whenever I goddamn please.

Ate this for the first time last night because it’s been rec’d a bunch of times on here and im in Boston for the week. Borderline psychedelic. This sandwich is insane. You’re all insane. I’m kinda craving another somehow.

Thanks y’all for the fire tips - I had a blast. Just put everyone’s rec’s into a google maps collection so you can find them at the link📍
My addition is the Empire Garden Restaurant in Chinatown. Built into an old vaudeville theater, the food is solid but the atmosphere is absurd and a must see.
