idk if i believe in "miracles" per se, but the fact that my red second-hand converse that i bought for 20 bucks back in 2016 (and were already Pretty worn looking when i got them) haven't fallen apart yet and are, at worst, sorta faded (the red part) with yellowed soles is. well, it's Something.

Last May, I had done some research as I was starting to dip my toe into doll collecting and knew that Rainbow High was one of the most popular current brands. I didn’t really like their style at first, I couldn’t get over what I felt were their ‘bug eyes’, (I still really dislike the classic face sculpt) but I went on the MGA website and scrolled through the listings to see more of them, just to see if I liked any of them. I did think some of them were okay, but not enough to go out and put myself through the anxiety of buying them.
And that’s when I saw her.
I wouldn’t be collecting dolls if I didn’t see Glitch and fall in love with her. Monster High didn’t have enough of a grip to really pull me in to the hobby on its own, and I wasn’t clicking with other RH dolls through photos.
But Glitch had something. Some combination of hair and dress and style that added up to a vibe which floored me in her stock photos. I didn’t know dolls could look like her, feel like her.
Soooo I went to target. Rehearsed my speech that I was looking for a gift for my non-existent niece if anyone confronted me for being in the toy section (took me months to get over that anxiety).
And I came home with three of them.
I was so thrilled and relieved to find Glitch in person, so I stayed long enough to look around at the others. I just couldn’t stop looking at Harley, and when I spotted Michelle on the top shelf I immediately thought “oh my god, that color is so striking”, and couldn’t stop thinking it. So I walked out with all three. 😅
I love looking at their crunchy box hair in this photo. I wouldn’t wash doll hair for the first time until August. August! I was too afraid I would ruin them somehow. Plus I didn’t and hadn’t owned any comb or hairbrush or even conditioner since I started shaving my head like four years ago, so I had to buy those things just for my dolls.
Maybe I would’ve found something else, some other doll line or brand that spoke to me, and I would’ve ended up collecting either way. But that moment I spotted Glitch feels so pivotal in hindsight. And even with a lot of my dolls packed up since I have so little display space, all three of these girls are out and beautiful! I just love lookin at ‘em. Which I guess is the whole point.
