Shyn'E, one of the Flairies from the Barbie: A Fashion Fairytale (2010) animated movie

She deserved a better photographic treatment than she received yesterday. Today I brushed her hair.

Her hair looks very nice there!
“Some people” find combing doll hair relaxing. Or so I’ve been told

From dailyitalianwords.com. I completely disagree, of course.
"Imagine a workplace scenario where there’s a looming deadline, and everyone is scrambling to finish a critical project. However, one employee – let’s call him Marco – is sitting at his desk, meticulously organising paperclips by colour. In Italian, you could metaphorically describe Marco’s engagement in a pointless and trivial activity as pettinare le bambole, which literally translates to to brush the dolls’ hair."

"In Italian, you could metaphorically describe Marco’s engagement in a pointless and trivial activity as pettinare le bambole, which literally translates to to brush the dolls’ hair."

That's so funny... and so true! Brushing a doll's hair seems pointless to me, as the hair never stays brushed!

Thank you for the idiomatic language lesson!

Perhaps her name should be Shiv'R today!
