Storytime: Sharing My Experiences As A Male Collector / Dressing My Dolls for Pride
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 май 2024
- Since it’s June, I figured I’d share how my dolls helped me become the “proud” person I am today, how they taught me to be myself when everyone tried to force me to be “normal”. It’s a happy ending, I promise!
#agtube #americangirl #doll #mattel #pride #pridemonth
Thank you for sharing your story. It's absurd how prejudiced people are. I don't even know what to say about that's except that I think all of us have been of the receiving end of being teased and it hurts. Kudos to you mom and that therapist! I'm glad that you are authentic to yourself! I really have been enjoying your doll stories. 😄
Exactly, we all go through things as kids, so I hope this just proves even more that we’re all the same 🥰
I was also very lucky, and I’m so grateful for that therapist! I still bring that up to my mom and she totally agrees and wonders what could’ve happened.
You are right! That was a good therapist!😃@@DisBlaine
Blaine, I really appreciate that you shared your perspective of how it felt growing up in your shoes. I think it can be very enlightening for those who don't quite understand what it's like to be bullied, just because you are different. What a great kid you were, and now a confident adult sharing his stories! I totally cracked up when you discovered you were Gay!😆 So mature and honestly endearing, for a kid of your years! Your bravery is inspiring! Thank you! PS- Your girls are rocking it!😊
Haha yeah it’s nice that when I get asked that typical question (when did you know you were gay?) I have a real answer.
And thank you! I love seeing them in these bright colors ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
This was so kind of you to share your story, it could very well help someone in the doll community. Your experiences were not easy in school, some kids can be brutal, but you were strong. Can I say that some teachers, whatever someone’s sexuality is, hetero or gay, they are terrible people that don’t belong anywhere near children. It’s so great you have a hobby you love in safe surroundings with people that are caring. And you described a dynamic mother, she was a mama bear, the best kind, no one was going to mess with her son. Keep enjoying your dolls and making your videos.
I hope teachers are better today… but that might be asking a lot! However yes, I’m lucky I had my passions and that my family did come around to who I was. It wasn’t as smooth as I made it sound in a 40 minute video, but that’s exactly how it had to happen 🥰
I love that you had the resilience to be you and like what you liked from such a young age.
I was very lucky to realize at a young age that I prefer the way I feel about things that make me happy.
I also learned not everyone feels that way…
I am glad your mom tried to support you by getting you your doll and accepting you for yourself. That was really cool you stuck up for your brother and he stuck up for you. It is great you understand what your brother was going through overall. Thanks for sharing your story and I am sorry people were so mean for no reason. Which doll is wearing the red outfit. The girls look beautiful. Happy Pride.
Yeah I wanted to make it clear that I wasn’t the (only) one struggling because I was different. It’s hard for family members to see a loved one suffer. Sometimes when I tell these stories in real life, they think my family were mean to me but I can totally understand
I am so very sorry about the experiences you went through as a child. I’m happy that it hasn’t affected you or your love for dolls. People can be so very unfair and cruel. Thank you for sharing your stories. ❤❤
Awww thank you! I feel like my love for dolls both exposed me to hate and protected me from it because they made me feel so much joy 🎉
Happy Pride Month, Blaine!🏳🌈
Thank you! And same ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
I loved your video! I love how you talked about how you love the things you love and not to worry about what others think of you! I need to be more like that!❤️ My son is like that too! He always tells me who cares what they think!🤣 Also I wanted to tell you that my son's preschool teacher told him that it's ok for boys to play with dolls because it teaches you to be a good father!😃 You are so awesome Blaine!❤️your dolls look beautiful! I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day!😃❤️
I’m soooooo glad teachers are better today. Even tho I appreciate the strength I have from my experiences and don’t feel bad for myself, I’d feel terrible if other kids went through it.
If you care what people think, you might not be able to help it. So it’s about learning to navigate those feelings.
I love how my girls look in their bright colors!
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Yes I'm so glad they are better too!😃 Thank you Blaine! You have great advice! I love all the bright colors too!❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Thanks for sharing! I don't understand why people are like that (though I know that they are).
I loved hearing your experience with the child psychologist.
As a doll lover and mother of boys (some of whom also love beautiful dolls and My Little Pony), I love letting them see me watch your videos (the more light-hearted ones mostly) to show that it's totally normal and cool for boys to love dolls.
Sorry I edited that a few times. I kept wanting to add more. 😅
I forgot to say my mom and the doctor were watching me behind a two way mirror. And my mom LOVES telling that story 🤣
Oh and the reason I wanted to put that disclaimer is because I sometimes worry kids will watch my vids because they’re about dollls. I’ll never use foul language or anything, but I still worry because I’m an adult after all. But it’s nice you pick and choose vids that are appropriate for them ❣️
Thank you for sharing part of your story and your collection. I learned something new from a perspective I hadn’t heard before. Truly thank you.
Thanks for listening. I hope you enjoyed the dolls in their June outifts 😃
Omg the way we have the same experiences with looking for a doll and the older brother is insane
Haha there’s no stopping our love for dolls tho is there! And that can be hard on people who love us. Glad you still love your dolls!
I'm glad you shared your past experiences with us. I grew up in the 50's and graduated from high school in the late 60's in the USA. Things were so much more different then. Kids under (about age 15/16) weren't sexualized like they are today. It probably started in the mid 1970's and got worse with every year. When I was in my 20's I hung around a male gay friend between dating. It was a break from being pressured into having sex all the time because he wasn't interested in me in that way (never admitted it until later but I knew). We had a lot of fun together traveling and just hanging out. This was when I started really paying attention to gays. By the 80's AIDS was a thing and straight males really started getting vocal in their beliefs. That would explain your teacher, even though you are Canadian. I feel bad for you but want to say that instead of getting better, I'm sure it did in the 90's and early 2000's, it has grown much worse now with transsexuals just trying to be who they are. i don't understand them but what they think or do isn't any of my business. With the political uproar in the US going on right now things have gotten worse instead of better. This country has gone backwards instead of forward with excepting people that are different from themselves. Hang in there. I'm glad that you overcame all the obstacles of growing up and that your parents accepted you are you are. Many weren't that lucky. (BTW, one of my favorite songs from the 70's was The Killing of Sister George by Rod Stewart. Love the message in it.).
Yes, that was a big problem I was vague about (AIDS) because I always try to be careful in my vids in case kids find a way to watch them for the dolls. But yes, I experienced a lot of fear, people thinking they would catch something if they touched me, so I knew where the repulsion was coming from.
It can only get better!! 🥰
The 80’s were horribly bigoted and homophonic. We were terrible people. I’m so sorry for all the bad/horrible experiences that you went through. At least it sounds like your mother was supportive.
You are such a wonderfully mature well adjusted man. Continue doing what you’re doing. Thank you for sharing your stories and trying to educate us older generations as to how wrong we were.
My son liked dolls when he was younger, mostly baby dolls. He has one AG doll, Elizabeth. He is straight and has gravitated more to stuffed animals (mostly because his girlfriend is scared of dolls). I really dislike the gendering of toys. As a society we need to get beyond it. Walmart was especially bad with their coded blue and pink toy aisles (they’ve since done away with that).
I love your pride dolls! This is a great way to open pride month!
I almost always listen to videos at 2X speed.
Yeah I think my mother and I had a strong connection when I was young because I was so much like her, physically and personality wise. And I’m sure it was a nightmare for her to worry what I was going through.
The 80s were a very aggressive time-for bullying in general. It was a lot of fun in ways but hard in others. I’m sure the same can be said about any era!
And thank you! I really love how they came together in their bright colours 🥰
Oh and it’s cool your son liked dolls and you were okay with it! It shows times have changed.
You can follow along at 2x speed?? I don’t even want to know how I sound when I already talk so fast 🤣🤣
Blaine, I was so touched by your video. Thank you for sharing your sweet and sad stories. I love how you didn’t care what people thought. You have a very strong sense of self. How wonderful to hear your journey and your tenacity to do what you love no matter what. I think dressing your dolls in this video gave you so much courage. I was so impressed at your multitasking. You really told your stories well. Sending love and big warm hugs. ❤. Loved your rainbow of dolls. So beautiful.
You’re probably right! I was worried I couldn’t focus on dressing them AND telling the stories, but they probably did keep me focused and comfort me while I talked.
I was very lucky to have born so stubborn. Not everyone has that experience, so I need to be grateful ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
You know watching you change your doll's clothes and how you handle them, you'd make a great parent one day.
lol I wonder if I’d be more delicate dressing dolls or humans… probably dolls.
Thanks for sharing that. I had some experiences similar growing up. It's sad how the cruel people could see our differences before we could. I'm glad we're also similar in the part of us that says what they're feeling about things and who we love doesn't matter. If people can't love all of me they can't have all of me.
I saw a difference as I got older, because by that point that had been taught to believe something was wrong with me - which makes me think we can teach people NOT to think something is wrong with being different.
I’m glad we survived!! 🥰
You are incredible! Very inspiring to me. I must say I am a little teary because I struggle so much with what people think about me (in all aspects). Your stories have made my day.
Awwww it’s not always bad to care what people think. I’m the polar opposite to the point I can be selfish. You just need to learn to navigate it. One thing I like to myself when I have those moments of caring what people think of me:
“Get over yourself, Blaine. No one cares what you do.”
And then I can laugh at myself for thinking people do care. I mean kids and youths care about what everyone is doing. But most adults are so stuck in their own experience, so keep that in mind if it helps 🥰
Blaine, I love it when you tell your stories of your life growing up! You are such a sweet soul! I hope you continue on this path. Your dolls are exquisite! Thank you for sharing ❤
Awww thank you Sharon! I’m m glad enjoyed my dolls… and my stories 😆 Once I got started telling them, it was hard to stop! Luckily I ran out dolls to redress lol.
How am I just now commenting on this? As usual, Grace and I watched it together right after it came out but making time to go back and comment is apparently another story. At any rate, I thoroughly enjoyed this. I think one of the most important things you said was that even though YOU might have felt strongly enough about your dolls and had a good enough sense of who you were, that is absolutely not the case for everyone. I have a friend who voluntarily underwent conversion therapy because she was so desperate not to be a disappointment to her parents and not to be "doomed to hell". It is heartbreaking the lives and the joy that are taken from people because of bigoted beliefs, shunning, and bullying. I'm so glad you were fortunate enough to know yourself and be uncharacteristically secure in what you wanted out of life. Happy Pride!
I know! It’s that extra step after watching. I watch RUclips on my tv too. And yeah I made sure to mention my friend I used to play with because he had a different experience - and personality lol. He walked the halls with his head down, so shy. I was like 🎵here I am, coming through with my dolls🎵
I must’ve been so annoying 🤣
But yes I was lucky to be born so defiant, as my mom put it (not stubborn). Most people care what others think. The world would be so different if we all just did our own thing and didnt care so much about what everyone else is doing.
Thank you for sharing! I'm so glad you had such a supportive family and stayed true to who you are! I love watching your doll videos.
Thanks Viktoria! I was lucky to find things I love at such a young age 🥰
I love Julie's PJ's and the sapphire blue outfit the best because they just "pop" on the dolls! Great rainbow collection (including the dolls)! Thank you so much for sharing your heart felt feelings and acknowledgments. It was greatly appreciated. You have such a kind giving spirit!
I love bright colors so it’s hard to pick a favourite outside my bias toward orange. Plus I put it on Claudie - double whammy 🤣
I might love the purple too because of who’s wearing it. Hmmm I think I like them all lol!
I’m glad you enjoyed the video! These stories aren’t joyful but there’s definitely humor there.
I absolutely love hearing you tell stories through all your videos and this one was bloody amazing. Thank you for being authentic to yourself and to your experience.
Wow that means a lot! I was worried about staying on track in this one, so I’m thrilled you were able to follow along with my rambling
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Thank you so much for sharing this video 🫶
Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoyed my dolls I their June outfits ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
I really enjoyed your story . Love the dolls 🌼🌈💗😍✊🏼🥰💗💗💗
Thank you! They look so cute in their bright colours ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
(I'm sorry I haven't commented in a long time! I got really busy and haven't had a chance to watch. Gonna binge today and try to get caught up!) Thank you so much for sharing your stories; one of the most important things people can do is share their stories and their truths. Love the dolls and how they turned out in the birthstone outfits; I don't care for most of the outfits, but reenvisioning them as Pride outfits certainly is making me rethink that! Thank you again for taking the time to make this video and letting yourself be vulnerable with us.
I hope it was a nice / fun busy!
The birthstone outfits are definitely weird lol. Some nice pieces among them but totally overpriced. If I didn’t have the rainbow vision in mind, I’m not sure I would’ve ever gotten any!
Maybe the orange one ☺️
Your doll’s look lovely and you too. Blaine are so genuine 💕.
Awww thank you Monay! My only regret about this video was I didn’t get to react to how they looked in their new outifts, and they all looked so good! 🥰
You’re such a beautiful person. Thank you for your realness and vulnerability. I LOVE your videos, your creativity and your willingness to share. ❤
Oh! Well thank you very much! It’s probably easy to share stories that are a lifetime ago. It’s not like I was telling any where I was the bad person 🤣
Everyone has a story to tell about being a victim, so I hope I can make someone feel less alone
@@DisBlaine hilarious, “not telling anywhere where I was the bad person.” 😭😭😭
Drinking coffee, watching your new Q&A video! Enjoy your weekend!
Thanks for another video! 😍
@@melissabazile haha hopefully the coffee kicks in before I start to ramble!
God Bless You! Thank you for sharing your stories. I love your videos. Thank you for bringing positivity into this world.
Awwww thank you! I’m glad you took it that way. I feel very positive about these experiences because they helped me chase what brings me joy.
thankxoxo for sharing. ❤❤❤
what the psychologist said made me teary eyed. 🥹i'm glad you thought "different" and was able to not let what was going on change you being you!!!!
the doll fits are 😍😍😍
happy pride 🌈 all month and everyday
Yes! I had to take a moment to explain I was realllllly lucky he said what he said. My life could’ve taken a TURN if he said something else. There are so many horror stories from back then, and I managed to slip through.
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
@@DisBlaine grateful
Thank you for sharing your story with us. ❤ Happy Pride! 🌈🏳️🌈
Thanks for listening! I hope you enjoyed seeing the dolls in their new clothes 😆
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
@@DisBlaine I did, beautiful collection ❤
Thank you for opening up your story as a boy collector. I don't see many here or anywhere of dolls specifically and I'm sorry you went thru so much torment. I was made fun of at 11 and 12 for still playing with dolls by my own friends! And I am female and collecting at 31.. so it's interesting, yet older people will watch football all day and it's different. I think it's strange looking back.. why did they wanna grow up so badly and why did they need me to? I kept my childlike wonder and I think I live a happier life now than alot of people, not in a judgemental way just in a "I wish they'd listen" and find their childlike wonder too. Does not have to be toys or collections!
@@DARKBARBiEDiFFERENT isn’t it so weird how people care what other people do?? I found it strange as a kid and I find it ridiculous as an adult lol!
Yes who decided that sports / games are okay for adults but dolls aren’t?
I know it’s part of the pack mentality but sometimes it feels like people are a bit resentful, and if they’re resentful, there must be envy in there somewhere, that others are brave enough to do what they want. Maybe that’s my defense mechanism to feel that way, but it’s given me… patience 😅
Dang Blaine!! This video is awesome. I’ve planned on making my own pride video and I’m so glad I watched yours first! I loved it!! ❤
You have a great story, and I totally relate to your attitude of not caring and having your own interests! I’m so glad you had strong adults in your life!! ❤
I’m almost through my second time watching, thank you for sharing all of these stories!! You’re a great story teller and I love your perspective on it all!! ❤❤
Welllll they weren’t always strong, but they faced a lot of challenges they didn’t ask for because of me, so I really wanted to put things in their perspective too.
I can’t wait to see your video! I relate to the way you do them, especially that you always have at least one doll with you as a cohost 😆
@@americangirlfilms eeeeks but this video is so long!! Hopefully you sped up the second viewing 🥴😆
@@DisBlaineI do speed up videos when necessary but I was already 20 minutes in before I even realized on the second time around! I love to listen to your videos when I’m cooking, cleaning, or relaxing- I love long form content! ❤
@@americangirlfilms ahhhh okay. But I must confess, I like to believe most people watch my videos on mute just so they can see the dolls. I never considered people might be JUST LISTENING to my cringey narration 🤢🤣🤣
Now I’ll just tell myself you’re the only one lol.
I wasn't expecting the ending in high school,I'm happy you were popular in that time !
Haha I wasn’t expecting it at the time eirher! But it only lasted that year. After that I moved a LOT, so it was best to stop the story there, because things only got weirder and weirder 🤣
Thanks for sharing your stories. I laughed with you, I felt for you and your experiences shaped you into the fun loving, thoughtful person you are today. I was inspired and enamored with several of the outfits in this video that I bought them at the NYC store this morning. Of course I also came home with a Claudie and a 127. My partner also found the cutest Addy ever!! Thanks again for another great video and for sharing more about yourself. 😊❤
Wait do you mean seeing the outfits in this video is what made you buy then? That’s such a relief if so! I was worried I didn’t showcase them properly because I was so focused on what I was saying.
And Claudie??? That always makes me glad 😆 I love how she looks in the orange outfit. Which ones did you get?
The newly released Addy? I’m lucky I got a good one, but it must be amazing to pick one out in person. Congrats on all your new doll stuff 🥳
@DisBlaine yes, I've seen the birthstone collection on the AG website and they never really called to me. But seeing them on dolls in your video changed my mind. I bought 3 of them... January Garnet, February Amethyst and November Citrine. I already had Julie's robe and pjs. I also saw they had a couple of the Jasmine doll in the store. She's so pretty, I think I'm going to apply the bonus points I earned today towards buying her next.🤞
@@mykls2153 oh wow you got 3 of the ones in the video!! 🥳🥳
Honestly I can’t recommend Jasmine enough! Sometimes I’m tempted to buy another because I like seeing her in different looks. Luckily her price didn’t go up with this latest hike!
I was born in 2000 and when I was a kid we still had similar prejudices as your classmates, but by the time I was in high school, there was a HUGE switch to so much more acceptance and celebration of LGBTQ+. I was talking to my finance and we were both saying how sometimes we forget how not that long ago the prejudice was so much worse. And I really appreciate you sharing your story and I'm happy to see that you never let those people stop you from being who you are.
@@ariaseymour9634 yeah it’s so easy to lose sight of how the struggle is different for every generation - but still a struggle! I never had to grow up with people calling me the f slur all over social media for example. There’s so much backlash against the community right now it might become very hard for kids again soon. That’s why I always like to talk about who I am as if it’s no big deal, it just is. We exist, you know what I mean? Then others can see it and think it’s notmal(ish) too ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
been binge watching your videos and these stories made me feel so seen. i'm a trans woman and experienced many of the same things as a child, but i'm glad we pushed through and are now adults who get to grow from it. we now get to have and experience the things we've always wanted without judgement!
@@wzrdkyu535 awww that’s so nice you could relate - well, maybe it’s not nice you had to go through these things, but I don’t regret it for myself. Then more everyone told me I was wrong, the more I knew I was right. I’m glad you were able to find your true self… from people trying to make you be some you’re not!
Your are so strong! much more than me, i am a trans women who had similar experiences and i definiteley suffer my existence until i realized what made me happy. Thank u so much for sharing your stories.
Awww I wouldn’t say I’m stronger. Maybe I was luckier… or just more stubborn 😆
As long as you figured out what makes you happy, you’re many steps ahead of a lot of people in this world.
Happy pride!
Hi Blaine, thank you for the stories and the truth with me coming up in the 70’s one of childhood friends had his Barbie’s and we always played together his parents bought the dolls it was ok. Fortunately, I understand totally because I watched and protected my friend. He still has his dolls and I do too…. lol. I support the LGBTQ community you would laugh if you saw all my pride sneakers/shirts to support my friends I was a ballerina and seen many things your positive way is amazing I thank you for being you.😊😊❤
Honestly Donna, most of us wouldn’t have survived without our protective (usually female) friends. I had a cousin who was violently protective of me-and she was YOUNGER!! Allies mean the world to LGBT+ people
🩷❤️🧡💛💚💙
@@DisBlaine yes we are here to protect I had to help one of my daughters dancer friends my daughter is a professional ballerina and her best friend stayed at our home a lot due parents not understanding who he was when I say I save him it was rough. I love your strength and energy staying true to you and what u love is important and your family backing you too. ❤️❤️
@@donnamcclam yyyep! That’s the kind of support we end up requiring. Those of us lucky enough end up finding a safe house, so thank you for being that for someone. 🥰🥳
Your dolls are beautiful and so are you. ❤
What?!! You are so sweet, thank you so much❣️
I need a Pride outfit for my dolls!
@@leebenoit5474 I had to improvise for this video, but there are a couple rainbow outfits too. And yes you need one lol!
I buy dolls for my son, he plays daddy, they’re his babies! 🥰♥️👦🏻
Awww that is so sweet! That’s how dolls make you feel sometimes, like a parent. It’s amazing you’ve allowed your son that experience 🥰❣️
Also i love this child psychologist who saw you in the 80s heck yes.
@@DARKBARBiEDiFFERENT oh, no kidding! I OFTEN ponder how different my life could have been if she took me to a typical 80s fear monger!! ☠️
❤❤❤
🥰
Thank you for sharing your story. I’m so sorry about that male teacher you had in the sixth grade, he sounds awful. I’m very sympathetic, discriminatory male teachers are the worst.
Awww thank you, but these are things we all go through on some level. I like to think things are better now, at least for kids… but I’m probably wrong 💔
thank you for sharing your story! believe it or not, even as a gen z, i had a similar experience as a kid, except i liked both "girly" things like dolls and disney princesses and "boyish" things like video games and marvel. but i got ostracized by the girls for liking the "boy" things and by the boys for liking the "girl" things, and on top of all that, i was very overtly neurodivergent, so i didn't have very many friends until i was a teen. but, just like you as a kid, i didn't really care about what anyone thought. so i'm really proud of both of us for that, and if i had a message to the kids of today, i'd say that the best thing you can be is yourself!
p.s. i am non-binary now. not saying your interests dictate your gender identity but i feel like i never really fit the boy or girl labels as a kid and it makes sense now that i'm 17 lol
also i went to a very small school so there were not very many people in my grade who were like me. the other one who did... also came out as non binary later
Oh wow! That’s wild that the boys didn’t like you playing with girl things and vice versa. That’s an interesting experience!
I agree that kids should be themselves and I like to believe it’s not as unsafe as it was when I was a kid - but if it is unsafe, it’s probably best to wait. Unless they’re as stubborn as I was 🤣
But I can see why your experience makes you identify as non-binary. It’s that “bothness”. When I tried to be a normal boy as a kid, they always did things that got me in trouble lol. That makes me identify as a male (I feel very male) who happens to like things that society says aren’t male. But that means society is wrong (stubborn, see?)
But thank you for sharing your unique experience! I never knew the ostracism couid come from both sides!
@@bejeweledbat13 my school wasn’t small but it was way too long ago for anyone else to be openly like me lol. So it’s nice you had one person in such a small space. Did you two relate to each other as kids?
@@DisBlaine yea we did relate to each other a lot actually
Happy pride month
@@kellyhatcher7735 thank you Kelly!
You may have saved a life! 😊❤
Awww what a kind thing to say! My only hope is helping anyone (of any age, race, gender, etc) be okay with collecting dolls or doing whatever makes them happy.
❤🧡💛💚💙💗💜
I grew up in the 80s playing with dolls myself as a boy My father did not like it but I didn't anyways he even hid my favorite dolls in the China cabinet what's not a big deal but when you code depend on these dolls to get you through the day and they're missing
I had a lot of problems making friends in school I was in learning disability back in the 80s that was a bad thing Kids will make fun of me for that
I did bring my toys I played without other things besides dolls as well but I'd leave him in my book bag just to know that they were close to me and I wouldn't never tell anybody
I remember My Little Pony's the good kind of the ones I have now but do you remember the series where they had the little babies I love those and the mermaid series
yes I'm married and my wife gives me a lot of issues not so much I know I embarrass her because I have a therapy doll I take with me everywhere
@@tluderman77 yeah it was definitely hard to have a learning difference back in the 80s. People were so quick to make fun of people for being different, with no sympathy AT ALL. I’m glad it’s at least a little better now. But I’m sure it’s still hard.
Hopefully your wife understands why you have a therapy doll. I usually have one I call my emotional support doll, but I won’t take her with me because I don’t want her to get ruined lol. She just supports me emotionally at home.
what doll was your first doll? that u begged mom for
how is your brother today with you and your doll collecting
Ohhhhh I meant to mention the doll! I also meant to mention it was a warehouse store (Sears Warehouse, might be Canadian and doesn’t even exist here anymore) so they carried old, cheap merchandise.
I THINK it was a Kenner 6” Darci doll, the one in the red dress. She was only produced until 1981 and this would’ve been a year or 2 later, so the timing works
That was a lonnnnng reply!
@@pjrox93 ummmmmm me and my brother today? lol I purposely didn’t talk about that… because we haven’t spoken in years. With age he’s only gotten more aggro / toxic, and I’ve only gotten more tenacious with my own peace and happiness.
@@DisBlaine so you were Courtney kinda
@@pjrox93 haha yeah she would’ve only been a couple years older. That’s why I started AG with her collection.
Is one of your doll asian
@@kellyhatcher7735 yes the one I dress in green collectors call the “Asian mold”, Truly Me 4.
