Silly Space Opera AU (Guess who?)
I can’t decide whether I want to watch the Christmas Special already, and be able to interact with BBC Ghosts-related content freely, – or postpone watching the Christmas episode and maintain the illusion that BBC Ghosts aren’t over.
However, I’m having a lot of fun working on my Star Trek AU.
Of course, it’s moving at my usual glacial pace, so I have no idea when it’s going to be done.
In the meantime, I also feel like making some promo pictures/concept art.
Again, no physical semblance to speak of, but it should be self-evident, innit? ;-)

I wanted to see the height difference of these Mattel male dolls. I also have Snape from Harry Potter but I bought him after taking this pic and I think that he has the same broad Ken body.

In 1997, Mattel debuted Barbie's friend Becky as the doll "Share a Smile Becky", the first character in the Barbie range to use a wheelchair. She was a tie-in product for the National Parent Network on Disabilities and the National Lekotek Center.
Becky appeared in two subsequent releases: Becky, School Photographer and Becky, Paralympic Champion, in 1998 and 1999 respectively.

(Notice how Paralympic Champion Becky is holding a bottle of water! Stay hydrated, kids!)
Becky has not officially appeared since. There was some controversy about Becky upon release, partially because her release made it apparent that the Barbie Dreamhouse was not wheelchair accessible - Becky's chair could not fit through the front door, or the elevator of the Dreamhouse. This meant that Becky was not exactly compatible with other parts of the Barbie range.
Becky's lack of recent appearances does not mean there is no disability representation in the current Mattel lineup though. As a part of the Barbie fashionista range, there are now Barbie dolls with...

Someone really called me a "Pick Me" because I said that true Barbie fans hate the Barbie movie.
Ah, yes, because being against tearing down others in order to "build others up," vilifying beloved kind characters to make some kind of social commentary, and mocking beloved characters and brands totally makes me a Pick Me Girl. 🙄 (I never even said the treatment of men is why I hate the movie, but it is a reason why. But certainly not the only, the first, or even the biggest reason why for me.)
People really just throw that fucking term at any woman that hate. I've heard of characters who are the opposite of a "Pick Me" being called that by haters, just because they couldn't think of any other insult to throw at her.
If being a fucking decent person makes me a "Pick Me," if not wanting characters and a brand (that have brought so many people happiness for decades) that I have loved since my early childhood makes me a "Pick Me," then I will proudly be a fucking "Pick Me."
The people who simp for this garbage film are truly a damn cult.

I just had a thought:
Rarity, Edna Mood, Barbie, Velvette, Clawdeen, Satin and Chenille
My most favorite fashionista icons with sass (Idk if Barbie is sassy), having a fashion brunch
Barbie: And so I tried to warn Raquel that 12 inch heels, PLUS very long nails could be dangerous. Not only will her nails got chipped so easily, but she can’t even get in her car or try walking without tripping
Clawdeen: Ouch. Ghoul should not have done that
Velvette: *puts her coffee down* Ugh. This is why I don’t use acrylic nails and those ridiculously high inch heels. I mean, what was she trying to do? Show off? I always paint my nails no matter how small or long they are, and they still look fabulous *shows off her nails*
All: Oooh
Rarity: Absolutely gorgeous, darling. What a work of art
Velvette: *chuckles* Thank you, darling
In the distance, Vox, Clawd, Ken, Mr. Incredible, Cooper and Prince D, and Flash Sentry were having their own coffee day
Vox: I’m glad Vel has a new group of friends to bond over fashion with *sips on his coffee*
Ken: Shoooouuuld we be in a group?
Vox: Don’t push it
Ken: *still smiling* Ok

I need to get that shelf soon. 😬
PS: I just got The Glyph (and her duck, Tiger) from the new show “Barbie: a touch of magic” She’s perfect.
My collection has exploded recently. I went from 3, then all of these within a week.
I also just got the original Midge! She was my dream Barbie. It came with her case and everything.
I haven’t unpacked the doll herself yet because I need to figure out how to best keep her safe when I get the shelf. I have stands but they’re plastic and go around the waist, and I don’t want it to scratch her. This one didn’t come with the stand, so I’m not sure what I’ll do yet. Maybe buy a looser stand that doesn’t go around the waist? Any advice would be great.

He’s Just Ken
“Barbie” is coming to theaters next month, and it looks really great so far! It’s also caused a worldwide shortage of certain shades of pink, which is both amazing and delightful. Anyways, because I’m very pumped about this movie, we’re going to spend the next few weeks looking at the latest Barbie dolls on the shelves and seeing what’s up, starting with “Barbie Fashionistas 191!”
Tumblr media
Alright, if you‘re reading a “Barbie” review, I’m pretty sure I can assume you know what Barbie is. The “Barbie Fashionistas” line is, essentially, the standard Barbie doll. They’re Barbie and Ken dolls that come in nice, casual clothing, have basic articulation, and come in a variety of body types, skin tones, and hair styles. While they come with default outfits, these are the dolls that are specifically made for you to buy different outfits for. Some Fashionistas come with additional accessories, like wheelchairs and prosthetics, which can sometimes cost a bit more, but are important since they reflect the diversity of the real world.
Each Fashionista doll has a number, and number 191, today’s review, is a Ken doll. This Ken’s very much what you’d imagine when you think of Ken: blonde, smiling, a bit tanned, and in decent shape. He’s the quintessential Ken.
Tumblr media
This doll’s made out of 100% Boyfriend Material.
I really like Ken’s head sculpt. He has a pretty relaxed smile, so he actually looks happy to be here and not like he’s being forced to smile at gunpoint, unlike a great deal of holiday pictures of kids, where one has the instinctual urge to ask them to blink once if they’re being held against their will. Ken’s hair also looks pretty good, too. It looks like he put effort into making it look nice, but not so much effort that it seems like he’s freaking out. It shows the confident attitude of “I look good and know it,” while also saying, “I still put effort in because my partner deserves to be with someone who tries for them.” It’s a really good head sculpt.
Tumblr media
Fun fact: Ken is named after the real-life Barbie’s brother. That’s what we call a “Folgers Coffee moment.”
Ken’s outfit is one where I like the individual parts, but am not crazy about the whole look. This is purely my opinion, though. He’s got a checkerboard sweater with white and black squares, but it also has some smaller areas all over it with more traditional white and black squares. I personally am not super crazy about the sweater, but I feel like it would work great with a jacket, maybe for a more winter look. Ken’s also wearing a pair of blue shorts, which I do really like, but feel they conflict with the sweater. Like, where are you going where your lower half is warm and your top half is cold? It just feels like anywhere you’d wear this outfit, half of your body is miserable. He also has a pair of Robin’s Egg blue shoes that I really like and feel go well with either part of the outfit. And, of course, if you’re not crazy about this outfit, remember that you can always get Ken a different outfit. Like I said earlier, the Fashionista line is the one specifically made for different outfits.
Ken has the basic Ken articulation. His legs move back and forward and can slightly go side to side, but not by much, and his shoulders can move every direction. His head’s on a swivel and does not have a ball joint, unlike Barbie typically has, and his hair is sculpted onto his head, unlike the more expensive Kens. Other than his outfit, Ken comes with no accessories. He’s literally Just Ken. And behold, I have worked a movie reference into this review after already using it as the review title! Feeling proud of myself.
Tumblr media
Selfie!
Fashionista 191 is available at mass retail with a starting price of about $10, but I’ve seen him for as low as $6, which is a great deal. Would I recommend him? Absolutely. Like I said earlier, he’s the quintessential Ken, which makes him a solid addition to the collection of any Barbie fan ages 3+, especially ones who don’t already have a Ken. Also, his packaging is reusable, so if you wanna keep him safe or need to pack him for a trip, you already have a little way to store him, which is a plus in my book. Next week, we’ll be continuing our look at Barbie with a review of one of my favorite doll ideas from the line, so be sure to come back and have a read! This is JS signing off and wishing you Happy Toy Hunting.

Barbies of the BPCL: 2017 Fashionistas Ken #5 Hip Hoodie
Tumblr media
This Ken doll is from the Fashionistas line popular in the 2010s. He originally came with a sleeveless blue hoodie, red t-shirt, and white shows. We're not entirely sure what happened to his clothes, but his pants appear to be original to the doll.
