davidd's A DOLL A DAY 2026

[davidd]

Still deciding whether to strip her of her clothes before sending her to the thrift shop.

Poor girl.  I was literally just looking today at the dolls at the local thrift shop when I did my monthly shift and wondering, "WHY do these dolls never have clothes?  Are there really THAT many people taking the clothes and passing the dolls on?"  

I (almost) never send nude dolls to thrift shops. That seems somehow indecent and mean, even if they're only plastic toys. Even if I were to nick Barbie's outfit, I'd put her in something before sending her away. For now she's safe; the package is still sealed.

Summer of Bratz 2026 - Bad Hair, Don't Care: The Road Trip

Bratz "Selfie-Snaps" Yasmin celebrates TEN YEARS of THE SUMMER OF BRATZ with a road trip to Yellowstone National Park and the surrounding area in Montana and Wyoming.

Bratz "Selfie-Snaps" Yasmin joined the toy crew in 2016. One of the short-lived "New Bratz" dolls, Selfie-Snaps Yas was adopted specifically to participate in an Instagram photo challenge called Summer of Bratz designed to promote the attempted revival of the Bratz line.

New Bratz were ultimately unsuccessful. Later, Bratz were revived in a format that more closely resembled the originals and which is still hanging in there.

Most years since 2016 Yasmin has continued her Summer of Bratz adventures to at least a limited extent. In 2026, Yas is kicking off her second decade of adventure with a road trip -- YAY!
