#plastic doll

I saw this on Pinterest and despite some of the comments trying to explain it, I decided to give it a shot and explain it too:

Because when we're kids we do not think about it because we haven't been contaminated with those ideas. But you keep an idea going on for a while and that idea starts to transform into this.

That's why "ideas live forever" matters a lot when Ruth says it.

We are constantly fed by magazines, movies and social media about how we're not enough. Then we blame it onto icons (images, dolls, celebrities, people) to make sure our rage has a way out and we can express it because we've been pressurized either by those or even worse, our peers, and the people we love to fit and accept certain roles, and we even have a way to measure happiness.

But then Greta and America come into the picture to make sure your brain turns back to the way you used to be with Barbie Monologue. In a way, it's like, here's hoping you come back to your senses too, like the other Barbies.

Only for society getting pissed off at it after watching the movie. And making it about men. Again. Because "Get back into the box Barbie!" it's a perfect analogy of conformism.

Kind of ironic because I only have to look back at America's Ferrera speech to be once again proved right. Imagine feeling threatened by a plastic doll 💀 and with this my little essay concludes.

Now, better saying that fitting into labels and standards will kill us all lol

Yes, it's true that they help us to realize who we are and what do we want but they also help us to "keep the status" and make sure "others" do not enter into our world. From that moment on, there's and will always be a barrier. A wall. It takes constant work to make sure those walls stay down, making sure people cross without getting worried about these things. Labels are fluid. Do not let them define you.

A few weeks ago I made the trek to visit one of my dear friends Kate's house so we could crawl up in her attic and see what kind of shit was up there. She believed a Kenner Blythe may be amongst the treasure, which prompted her to invite me. Sadly, no Kenner but we didn't leave empty handed.

And one of the treasures was a Penny Playpal Doll.

I didn't even know these dolls existed until Kate pulled her from one of the piles in the attic. Despite that, as soon as she dragged her huge body out for me to see and asked "do you want her?" How could I say no? She is so charming and reminds me so much of the my size barbie I loved in my own youth, I def wanted to take her home.

But she was SO GROSS. Nearly everything in the attic was covered in a layer of dirt, cob webs, dust, mouse poop, bug corpses, you name it. She was so grimy I had to throw her in the trunk to take her home. This was the first picture I took of her, which is kind of hilarious because it looks like something from a straight up horror movie.

She was so gross that I even had to make a special trip to target to buy her a special containment case to house her until I was ready to clean her lul

Here she is.... Bidding her time...

And the containment breach. >:3

Washing her was an experience. It truly did feel like I was cleaning a small child. 🙃 I filled the plastic tub full of water and dish soap and got to work.

Once I had given her body the first scrub I took her to the kitchen to wash her hair. Her hair is pretty gross, very brittle and balding in spots, but it's not horrible. Kate told me when she was little she messed with her hair a few times so I'm not sure if it was ever cut. If it was, baby Kate did a great job keeping it even loooool.

I used baby shampoo for her head. He hair is still pretty stiff, but there are no more bug carcasses so I'm counting it as a win. 😇

She was already looking much better at this point, but this is also where I messed up. 😞 I had been avoiding submerging her because I knew she was hollow and didn't want to fill her water. However her legs were still pretty dirty and I wanted to soak them and her grimy hands a bit longer to help get some of the more stubborn dirt off. In doing so I left her to soak, thinking dipping just her bottom half would not cause a problem. Boy was I wrong!

She was decidedly heavier when I picked her up from her soak, her whole bottom half full of water. I've drained most of it at this point (thank you mommy blogs for giving tips on getting water out of toys) and I think she will be ok. I hope so at least because I would be heart broken if she got moldy. 😭

She did sure look cute sitting in the tub though looooool.

Anyway, I still have some work to do on her. I'm working now on removing the staining on her face and will continue trying to dry her out. All in all, errors and all, I am having a lot of fun cleaning her up. I love you miss Penelope, and I'm glad you are home with me! 💖😘😻

I also did some work on a Barbie and Midge doll Kate asked me to clean up, more on them in the future. ✨

Until then, I leave you with the adorable commercial for Patti and her buddy Penny. 👯
