Festival Looks Malibu!

Oh my fucking heck, I LOVE this doll!

Technically, I guess I did “mostly” buy her to give Skater Brooklyn more clothes and accessories. (As of this writing, I will not be re-dressing Skater Brooklyn until buying a second one. Clear plastic holds her headphones in place, so when I get two I will have to choose which one gets to wear the headphones forever.)

But still, it happened again. Kind of like with Skater Brooklyn, actually! Even though the doll looked cute online, when I saw her in person Something Happened in my brain, and I LOVE HER.

My two-inch Halloween Badtz-Maru figure is wearing her hat, which is a bit big, but still so perfect that it might be his hat now.

As much as I love the pink dress that she is wearing in the box, of course I had to try a different outfit right away. This required taking off her tiny scarf (I guess it might be an ascot?), which I was pleasantly surprised to discover is a legit scarf. It does not clip together in the back, you can really unwrap it! Right now she’s wearing it as a bracelet.

Brooklyn will wear that pink dress eventually. Preferably with some badass STOMPY BOOTS.

I’m currently at The Ranch, really looking forward to going back to my room so I can take some pics of her current outfit and then put together another one.

While I am sure that it is a lot of fun, I have zero plans to ever watch the Dream Besties yootoob series. My own personal headcanon for my dolls is that they’re all witches, almost everyone is queer, Brooklyn and Malibu are lifelong childhood best friends who have just recently started dating, Heath is an elemental that they summoned who accidentally became one of their best friends, et cetera . . . 

Dream Besties Rambles

All of them are witches. At this time I do not feel like establishing any world-building details more specific than that. Well, except for the fact that Heath is an elemental they summoned who accidentally becomes one of their best friends. That is a crucial detail, since Heath is probably my favorite doll right now full stop. So he has to be included, even though he is not a Dream Besties character anywhere other than my head.

None of them are straight. Brooklyn and Malibu are lifelong bffs who have been dating for about six months. Heath and Ken are both gay, but NOT dating. Not even interested in each other.

I literally love Heath so much that I should buy at least one more specifically for re-dressing. I want multiple Ken fashion packs so that he can have more fun clothes to wear. And, eventually, multiple Fashionistas Kens so that he can have more boyfriends. 

. . . Wait, is Heath too old to hang out with a bunch of teenage witches? They're all approximately sixteen or seventeen, but in my head Heath is definitely old enough to get intoxicated. Of course, they are all human witches, not immortal fire spirits . . . 

I get paid in a few days, so I may or may or may not use that as an excuse to order another doll. If I do it will be either Zia or a second Skater Brooklyn. The payday after that will definitely be an excuse to order another doll.

While I do love all of the characters that have been released so far, I wish Mattel would mix it up a bit and give us some new ones. A South Asian girl, a very pale redhead girl with freckles, another boy.

Eventually I will get these witches at least one Monster High playset. Some sort of coffee shop or student lounge, I'm not sure. If I can ever justify all of the space it would take up, I'd also love to get them this camper or maybe even a folding house from the nineties.

My Melody’s Birthday

I just learned an amazing fact about My Melody: Her birthday is January 18th, one day before Buffy Summers.
