Random AF but I feel like this new version of Venus is 10000% Black Girl coded.
I purchased her a little bit ago because I couldn’t very well leave her at my local Walmart. Her stock was so cute and I just needed to get my hands all in her hair.
After releasing her from her box I got this overwhelming since of pure joy! And representation in a way. While not being a women I am black and I just feel like black girl magic has been poured into this doll. It’s great. I’m intrigued, it’s truly mind blowing how they’ve designed the doll to invoke these feelings while also still having her be this adorable green color. I’m just so in love.
Of course after the few hours of initial play and redressing I decided I will claim another! For those of you not familiar with me… I do this. I need doubles sometimes because I also want to repaint while also having some small attachment to the doll’s original screening. Doesn’t happen always… but enough to note that it’s a real characteristic of my collecting habits.
In any case, I’m a fan. The G3 reboot of the iconic brand is definitely grabbing my attention. I haven’t even mentioned just how much I ADORE Draculaura 😂🥰 I think her new look is just TOO cute. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
What do you guys think? Do you see the Black Girl Magic vibes or am I just imprinting? Either way, I’m so charmed 😋
Also, this is another set of photos shared on my IG (Joshybearhuggies) that I’ve been thinking about allot and definitely had more to say about than I let on on IG 😅

Garden Mysteries Redesigns
Draculaura - The doll itself is cute, but as usual I’m not sold on the clothes.
I really dislike the printed on fabrics with patterns, but I still wanted to play with the whole rose motif while giving her a different silhouette and style.
She’s inspired by 90s slip dresses and whimsigothic aesthetic. I incorporated the bats on her og skirt by giving her bat wings sleeves. I really like the colour change in her hair, it’s pretty cool!
Venus - Venus core doll is my absolute favorite and I hate that they already gave up on her unique hair!! I only like the sleeves with the bug-like pattern on her og Garden Mysteries doll. She feels very bland, and all 3 dolls have the same silhouette… It’s a shame since the theme is so cool :-(
I decided to give her overalls since the dolls are garden - themed. Venus rocks out some spiked boots with pink highlights, and a cropped top with a nod to the movie Little Shop Of Horrors. She’s wearing fly earrings and a spiked choker.
Twyla - My least favorite doll. It’s a shame because I’m a huge Twyla fan and I think her design is one of the strongest ones in g3.
I couldn’t really figure the flower on her skirt, so I choose a viola.
I based her whole dress on viola flowers, but kept her little house handbag. I gave her teacup heels and a little laced black choker.
I also made her pig-tails more lolita-like.
I was inspired by V-kei and lolita fashion.
