Barbie is not just a toy, change my mind

Okay, hear me out before yelling. Barbie's not a toy, she's a lifestyle, an unrealistic standard, a pink tsunami of gender roles. And yet here we are, grown-ups obsessing over a plastic doll. Why? Is it nostalgia? Irony? Aesthetic? Tell me why YOU collect, I'm genuinely curious...sorta. 🙄

DIY Barbie Fairy Wings Tutorial!

Just finished crafting some fairy wings for my Barbie, and they're magical! 🧚‍♀️✨ I used iridescent cellophane over a wire frame shaped like butterfly wings. Then decorated them with tiny rhinestones for that extra sparkle. The wire lets them be posable! Anyone else love making custom stuff for their dolls?

Barbie's not realistic, and that's a good thing

Ok, so hear me out. This doll's never meant to be an anatomy lesson—she's a *fantasy*, people. A space for dreams n' stuff. Why try to teach kids how to draw perfect eyebrows when they can't even color within the lines yet, right?? 😂
