figures, dolls, and nonsense

But it's not a problem if she happens to Be a centaurbie!

Made this baby in March because Doll Chateau was stopping making Lilian and Centaurbie had just hit Tumblr. Thought I'd hit two flies with one stone 😂

She usually hangs around wearing just boots but sometimes she wants to feel like a normal barbie.

Thank you mattel for making a skirt only a centaurbie looks good in 😌

i don’t know if dollblr has found out about this yet but LOL Surprise made a doll that looks exactly like artist Amina Mucciolo without paying or consulting her.

I was given a reference of a piece of furniture made for Popovy dolls and was asked if I could make a similar sofa for 55-45 cm Kaye Wiggs dolls. I suggested to add more Art Nouveau wavy patterns, my customer chose white aged frame and striped cotton pink fabric. So this impressive piece of furniture was made.

BTW, anybody knows how it’s called properly? I call it “cage sofa”))

ok this is “earring magic ken” who was introduced in 1992 (and discontinued shortly thereafter)

basically mattel had done a survey and discovered that girls didn’t think ken was “cool” enough

SO someone had the bright idea to research coolness by sending people to raves which, at the time, were mostly hosted & attended by gay men. so they went to these raves and took notes on what the fashions were and finally landed on this outfit, mesh shirt & all 

SO

MAGIC EARRING KEN. This bitch gay as HELL. supposedly the aforementioned rings on him are for “magic earrings” and clip on charms. These charms are advertised as totally COMPLETELY heterosexual, not gay at ALL, see there’s a Barbie that also has Magic Earring Action with clip on charms! Ken wears them to match, because he’s STRAIGHT

Here’s the issue: THERE IS NO MATCHING BARBIE. Magic Earring Ken is out here straight up wearing cock rings on his jacket with a thinly devised advertising ploy to make it SEEM not-gay. But it’s DEFINITELY GAY. (And if you’re thinking, why cock rings? Well way back in 1992 gay culture was HUGE on wearing cock rings, it was the in-style. Everyone who was gay wore one, even women; you sewed them to your leather jacket, and the placement indicated some of your sexual preference. In case you were wondering, Ken is a Bottom.)

AND IT GETS BETTER. Magic Earring Ken was on the shelves for six weeks before they pulled him. In that short amount of time? Magic Earring Ken became the BEST SELLING Barbie Doll Mattel has EVER SOLD. LET THAT SINK IN. SIX WEEKS. And now every time these wheezy old hetero windbag execs go to look at their sales board, they’re forever haunted by Magic Earring Ken at the top of their charts.
