The frustrating part about conversations like "should people with self-harm scars warn others before showing off their body?" and conversations like it is how nobody would tell me that my scars are obscene or should be hidden despite, literally, being self-harm scars. They just do not know because people literally do not know what self-harm scars are and what self-harm is.
Our bodies are not vulgar or gross. We deserve to live our lives, and if our scars make you uncomfortable, we can be compassionate about that, but that doesn't mean that our bodies are Bad and should be Locked Away. Treat us like we belong, because we do.

Ever since I discovered the convention exclusive Barbies I've been excited to show them off. Allow me please to show you the 2021 National Barbie Doll Collectors Convention dolls: Barbie and Ken Power Pair.
Tumblr media
But if you are not sufficiently impressed by Ken's rather squashed looking face (I have seen him described as "those brothers who have done too much plastic surgery" and "handsome Squidward"), you may be relieved to know that there was an AA set released as well as the Caucasian set.
Tumblr media
I honestly couldn't tell you which one I like better. I think I like the AA Ken himself better, but I like his suit less.
Tumblr media
The dolls themselves, rather than just the promotional photos, reveal that the outfits honestly look a little cheap - given these were limited edition convention exclusives, surely Mattel could have put in a slightly higher production value on these. At least give them some buttons and proper hems.

Take a look at this pamphlet for the Cereal Convention:
Tumblr media
You have over a hundred people coming from all over the place at the same time, and the convention is only a day long (August 12th)? That sounds inefficient. Even my department's niche grad student conference was held longer than that.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
No kidding. Conference/convention fees are expensive, and I wouldn't pay all that money and travel all the way just so I can attend it for only a day. I guess a travel grant could alleviate the cost, but I doubt the organizers are charitable kind of people. Nor do they have that kind of budget.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And why are there so many sessions taking place at the same time? The organizers should know their attendees' interests may overlap. What if there's someone who wants to check out both the Woman's Work and Religion panel discussions?
A sensible conference would try to spread them out and diversify the events so that the attendees won't miss out that much when they attend others: They could have a poster session, speed networking, etc. in one room while another room has a panel session going on.
Tumblr media
We do see people chilling in bars and walking around, but they're also missing out on at least THREE different panel discussions they paid for as a part of the fee.
The organizing committee even lost their guest of honour and were saved (?) at the last minute by slapping the Corinthian on their event. Maybe they should've hired people with more event planning experience under their belts rather than murdering.
P.S. At least they ensured the projectors are booked and they have access to light controls:

“I so admired the paper bride that Robin Roderick designed as a centerpiece (and I did not win in the drawing), I bribed her to make one for me! She's looking a bit yellowed now after nearly 24 years but is still a treasured piece in my collection.”

Memories from CybFest 2022 which I had in my drafts this whole time:
- the guy who wasn’t sure which G4 ponies his daughters didn’t have yet, so I pointed out every non-Mane-Six figure and he bought ALL of them.  (I gave him a discount.)
Tumblr media
- one of the other vendors told me that she bought Elsa-bot from me the previous year for her daughter’s fourth birthday and her daughter was ecstatic over it and wore it all the time because Transformers are cool to her (since her dad and older sister collect them) and she LOVES Frozen.  I’ve always thought of Elsa-bot as a funny collector item, so it was touching to hear she was genuinely loved.
- a lady I’d previously sold a 60cm (2 foot) Yeloli doll to had customized her and showed her to me, which was really cool.
Also, as much as I don’t like the Newborn Cuties, several little girls LOVED them. Out of all the ponies on the table, they picked those ones out.  So I respect them for filling a niche, I guess.
- the lady who looked at my table and said, “Are those all YOURS? That’s AMAZING!” in an awed tone and I thought, “If you could only see how many ponies I have in my actual collection.”
- the opinionated two year old who looked disgusted at each pony her mom offered her until she picked the “right” pony (G4 Pinkie Pie)
- the vendor next to me who bought a handmade Love-A-Lot Bear from me, then came back and bought a little bib for her from the dollar bin

Dolltavia had a marvelous time at Lexington Comic and Toy Convention this weekend. Here are her escapades over the three days we were gone. Photo descriptions go from left to right. First Row: 1. Via ready to head out with her suitcase. 2. Me in my Octavia cosplay and Dolltavia in the coffin purse I bought her there.
Second Row: 1. Via ready for bed. 2. Of course she brought along her own toiletries and make up. 3. Free hotel breakfast is always a win.
Third Row: 1. Outside of the con building. 2. Look at all of these degenerates /s.
Fourth Row: 1. Meeting the voice of her father, Bryce Pinkham. 2. He sat her down by his gift offerings while we chatted up. I made him the magic themed plush pumpkin. That's not even all of what he got as this particular photo was taken on the first day he got there.
Fifth Row: 1. Munching on take out while I wait for my photo-op with Bryce. 2. Chowing on a food truck burger and (I presume) eye ball bubble tea. This is hell after all. 3. Eating a Chili dog and milk while waiting in line for the Bluey VA Q&A Panel.
Sixth Row: 1. Finding other fellow Ever After High dolls at a doll booth. 2. They also had Monster High dolls packaged up in bags. Via didn't like the sight of that. 3. Who says toys can't have their own toys?
Seventh Row: 1. While this Jenga tower was large for real humans, it's even more massive for Dolltavia. 2. Same goes for the unicorn.

It's a photo dump from the Resin Rose 2022 expo hall! I am really bad at taking photos at events so it's mostly the contest entries (that were still there on the final day) but hey it's some record that I was there. I had a great time!
