I had this doll when I was little, but she had long hair (this one looks cut). She has a head with marking 1988 and a 1986 body. Does anyone have more information about her? submitted by /u/sparkleebarbee to r/Dolls [link] [comments]

I am looking to sell some vintage dolls as a bulk sale. I started documenting each one, but it just became more work than it was worth. Ive reached out to several antique shops near Canton, but haven’t had any luck. Any suggestions? submitted by /u/ajtolley to r/Ohio [link] [comments]

I could sure use some help identifying the dolls pictured. I'm trying to find their origin. The story behind dolls of this type. Thank you!! submitted by /u/Big-Meal1456 to r/VintageToys [link] [comments]

I was thrifting today and wanted to share a find for my doll - a vintage Ginny doll dress. I wasn’t so sure about the waist, but the ribbon helps cinch it (it’s slightly too big by itself and the stockings are too short - these socks are from a different set I already had) but the shoes fit perfectly? They had a few more, so I might go back and get another set. submitted by /u/JuicyFruit4You to r/BlytheDolls [link] [comments]

Hi everyone! I’m not really familiar with Horsman dolls (antique or vintage dolls from American factories are quite rare where I live), so I have a question. Is this the original face paint, or did someone attempt to restore/repaint it at some point? If it’s not original, is there any safe way to remove it without damaging the composition further? submitted by /u/ladyRavenriel to r/Antiquedollcollecting [link] [comments]

Notes on the following content This will be really long. While the video itself has a lot of factual information in it, I couldn't tell if some of the information was just AI nonsense BUT HEAR ME OUT, please. So I went digging / sleuthing for any evidence I could find related to this topic and u/DogMom1970s helped (major thank you to one of my favorite lawyers in this sub) With all this said, it will be interesting to see what you all think related to this. If you have further info, please share! I'm using a different format for this post so I can also include images. My comments related to the video summary are bolded to recognize the difference between the content and some of my initial thoughts. Apologies if there are any formatting issues - Reddit wasn't really designed for blog-like content imo. I looked into the Twitter accounts, and they are either gone or the posts are gone which makes me highly suspicious. So the following video was found on a recent Twitter post. https://preview.redd.it/53eikar2o3ig1.png?width=705&format=png&auto=webp&s=6d63a97ec2693c1d69775e5bb02efafa5ff53515 Margot Robbie EXPOSES How Blake Lively Tried to ERASE Her From Hollywood? Barbie as a Cultural Power Play Barbie was far more than a successful film - it was a cultural reset, a carefully constructed feminist moment, and a billion dollar brand triumph. At the center of that success was Margot Robbie, who did not merely star in the film but produced it, shaped its creative direction, and guarded its identity from the very beginning. Additionally, the role of Barbie was never open for competition. From the earliest internal discussions, Margot Robbie was the only name attached to the project, both as lead actress and as a producer through her company LuckyChap Entertainment. Early Development and Locked Casting When Greta Gerwig was brought on to direct the live action Barbie film in early 2020, the video claims the casting decision was already finalized. Internal Warner Bros. documents reportedly described Barbie as requiring optimism, complexity, and control, qualities that aligned directly with Margot Robbie’s vision and production leadership. There were no auditions, no alternate lists, and no contingency plans. Margot Robbie was attached as both lead and producer from the outset. The video emphasizes that Blake Lively was never formally considered for the role. Instead, it alleges that her team pursued a parallel strategy by attempting to associate her publicly with the Barbie aesthetic through press narratives, styling choices, and brand alignment. https://preview.redd.it/gpboijr2o3ig1.png?width=1600&format=png&auto=webp&s=be12fa76d78304d7e31472b70dff241faf8f0f88 The Branding Campaign and Social Media Push Beginning in late 2021, Blake Lively’s public image shifted sharply toward Barbie coded visuals. She appeared repeatedly in pink fashion, leaned into pastel aesthetics, and was increasingly referenced in blogs and social media as a “modern Barbie.” According to the video, this was not accidental. Stylists and industry insiders allegedly described deliberate requests for Barbie adjacent looks and visual references tied to Greta Gerwig’s previous work. The video highlights a viral tweet from January 2022 suggesting Blake Lively as an alternative Barbie, which gained traction and engagement from accounts connected to Mattel brand deals. Shortly afterward, Margot Robbie’s team was reportedly alerted to a secondary Barbie pitch circulating internally at Mattel. The Alleged Alternative Barbie Pitch According to the video, Blake Lively’s team submitted a pitch deck proposing a Barbie multiverse concept (multiverse, really? Ryan, I see you). In this version, Blake would portray a “legacy Barbie” centered on nostalgia, motherhood, and elegance. The pitch reportedly contained no script or budget and was positioned as a safer, more family friendly alternative to Greta Gerwig’s vision. https://preview.redd.it/d9h0q6r2o3ig1.png?width=1600&format=png&auto=webp&s=086e16499f828f66571e48201b605a3f5bc79d54 This surfaced at a convenient time, right as the film was looking to secure the other Barbie types for the film. While Blake's proposal was ultimately rejected, it triggered heightened concerns behind the scenes. Production tightened security, reinforced non disclosure agreements, and became more vigilant about leaks and brand confusion. https://preview.redd.it/i56fklr2o3ig1.png?width=1600&format=png&auto=webp&s=05cf4355c22fd42a9292f5d784902c8961560618 In a now removed comment from Greta related to this topic, she said: https://preview.redd.it/tiqpmlr2o3ig1.png?width=1600&format=png&auto=webp&s=025757dea925c289329858fefec8ed6001e6e586 Visual Parallels and Leaks As filming progressed, the video claims that confidential Barbie concept art leaked online, including early sketches of the now iconic pink cowgirl outfit. These images were quickly deleted but resurfaced through fashion accounts that had previously tagged Blake Lively in Barbie related posts (coincidence? absolutely not, if true). https://preview.redd.it/ufj01lr2o3ig1.png?width=1600&format=png&auto=webp&s=2cb95914a422cc49fe9dc305a005ee4462da6324 Soon after official Barbie stills featuring Margot Robbie were released, Blake Lively posted images with strikingly similar styling and color palettes one day after the leak, though never explicitly referencing Barbie, just vibes (I have looked for this post, and cannot find it. It would have been summer 2022 if anyone has any better sleuthing skills). The video frames these moments as calculated attempts to mirror the film’s imagery and influence public perception before official marketing materials were released. Allegedly, an anonymous Mattel Executive told Deadline (isn't this source Ryan Reynolds mouthpiece?) off the record.. https://preview.redd.it/ttlbnpr2o3ig1.png?width=1600&format=png&auto=webp&s=a687b2f74c6ded96b630d3229a9b1ab7707b3a84 Corporate Response and Industry Pushback By mid 2022, Warner Bros. reportedly issued internal guidance instructing partners not to engage with unofficial Barbie themed narratives. The video interprets this as a clear attempt to shut down parallel branding efforts. https://preview.redd.it/r1seklr2o3ig1.png?width=1449&format=png&auto=webp&s=a44a7e0f5e9efbb1b6ffdf4566d06ef059579009 But Blake wasn't asking for permission and continued releasing Barbie adjacent sponsored content, including posts with captions that emphasized autonomy and imagination. https://preview.redd.it/qzzakmr2o3ig1.png?width=1067&format=png&auto=webp&s=97a16b033647ebe46ccf7db71f5ae28c715aa8fb Entertainment media began openly questioning Blake Lively’s Barbie inspired presence, while Margot Robbie responded diplomatically in interviews by emphasizing storytelling over titles or ownership. In a closed-door press junket, Margot was reportedly asked: https://preview.redd.it/c4cqvlr2o3ig1.png?width=1600&format=png&auto=webp&s=9cc880f19450cfc0759baa48b8d891e3e4b1cc18 The Premiere, Absence, and Aftermath At the global Barbie premiere in July 2023, Margot Robbie appeared in a look inspired by a vintage Barbie doll, reinforcing her role as the definitive face of the franchise. Blake Lively was notably absent and made no public statements supporting the film. According to the video, this absence marked the quiet end of the unofficial Barbie branding push. Following the film’s billion dollar success, the video claims that Blake Lively’s name remained attached to lifestyle brand proposals tied to Barbie adjacent themes, including motherhood and wellness. These proposals were allegedly frozen or voided once Warner Bros. became aware of them. https://preview.redd.it/jmod2mr2o3ig1.png?width=1600&format=png&auto=webp&s=0ffe93e9a27b1cd9b929983c7b9959c2c2f299d5 Legal Sensitivities and Brand Shutdowns By early 2024, Mattel’s legal teams reportedly began scrutinizing Barbie adjacent branding more aggressively. Planned product launches associated with Blake Lively were allegedly canceled due to concerns that they were too close to Barbie’s intellectual property and emotional identity. https://preview.redd.it/2w2remr2o3ig1.png?width=1600&format=png&auto=webp&s=ae81af738b658f19cdffe48c1f1f3cb6246746dc A leaked exchange quoted in the video summarized the issue bluntly: it was not the font or visuals that caused concern, but the feeling. According to the narrative, that feeling was already owned by the film and its creators. https://preview.redd.it/zww28nr2o3ig1.png?width=1600&format=png&auto=webp&s=08fef7242db110fb1cb9120151dbaf6a8c6ccdeb Final Narrative and Cultural Verdict The video concludes that Margot Robbie never publicly confronted Blake Lively and never acknowledged the attempted takeover. Instead, she maintained control through consistency, restraint, and creative ownership. Casting documents later leaked reportedly confirmed that Margot Robbie was the only actor ever attached to the lead Barbie role, with no alternatives listed. The final takeaway presented by the video is that Barbie was never stolen or defended through conflict. It was protected through authorship and sincerity. Blake Lively, according to this framing, attempted to access the cultural moment through proximity and branding, while Margot Robbie earned it through creation. The video ends by suggesting that silence, rather than confrontation, was the most decisive response, and that the absence of acknowledgment became the most powerful rejection of all. ---------------------------------------------- https://preview.redd.it/q6plll6do3ig1.png?width=1694&format=png&auto=webp&s=32752366820c62aa80e30910f979986a7e15ac86 Okay, I'm at max photos for this post, but without being able to confirm a lot of this information, I can't really distinguish between reality and possible fiction. I'm going to include as many sources below that I could find related to this content so you can be the judge. I would love for industry insiders to weigh in as well. Before I do that, what I will say is that this absolutely aligns with what Blake and Ryan Reynolds are focused on: Stealing moments, piggybacking off of viral or major moments in pop culture Doing whatever they want, without permission I could absolutely imagine Blake trying to hawk herself as a 'real barbie' - she is so out of touch with reality All they care about is press / money / branding - which this is all of the above HOWEVER, with the amount of damn headlines related to all of this, it would not shock me if this was all true...

There was a baby book I had as a kid meant for little girls, from my memory, it was a square book, and it was about a little girl taking care of her baby doll. I remember her giving it a bath, putting it in a stroller, giving it a bonnet, and possibly putting it to bed. I remember reading it over and over because I loved the art style. I remember the art being so delicate and beautiful. It was possibly a more vintage book but my memory is fuzzy. I think the book was hardcover with hard pages as well. There are details I could be misremembering but the part I definitely remember is the doll with a bonnet and a stroller. submitted by /u/michmantis to r/Findabook [link] [comments]

Thrifting is one of my favorite things to do as a doll collector—or in general! There’s always a sense of adventure. When I bring a thrifted doll home, I almost always end up learning something new. These two are from a Saturday outing. Please post your thrifted vintage dolls! The black mask face doll was probably made in England by A. D. Sutton & Sons, going by the painting style. I think she is from the last 1940s, early 1950s. I am pleased to report I can’t find another exactly like her! The little doll was a gift from my partner in crime, who just thought I’d like it. She is a 5”Furga baby from right around 1970, all original, except that she is apparently a Pear Baby, missing a clear plastic pear-shaped case! I recognized her as a Furga right away, because their coloring is so unique. (Did you know Furga has been making dolls since 1872? I didn’t!) submitted by /u/willowwing to r/Antiquedollcollecting [link] [comments]

Hello! I'm trying to find a specific version of a Vogue Inc doll purchased in San Francisco in the 1960s. It was a very sentimental gift to my mother from her father which was sadly destroyed when she was still a child in tragic the events. So I would really love to find the specific doll and dress for her. She would be a vintage Ginny baby doll, I believe about 16 inches based on the dress. Her name would be on the back of her neck, her eyes could close when she lay down and her legs bent at the hips. She has short blondish slightly curled hair. I have a photo of another doll who my mother indicated was the same that I will include. The specific bit is her dress, I still have the original which was damaged in the same even and had a child repair to it with white stitching joining the neck to the waistso it's not exactly the same anymore but I will also include an image of it. The dress was a red velveteen sleeveless dress with white rouched lace on the round neck, shoulders and the hem of the dress. I have tried searching online but so far it's been fruitless so I hoped your sub might have some ideas of where I might source ginny baby with her specific dress. Thank you all in advance! submitted by /u/Aishybashy to r/Antiquedollcollecting [link] [comments]

Hello! I'm hoping someone can help me find a Vogue Inc Doll that was purchased in San Francisco in the 1960s. This was a very sentimental doll a relative was given as a gift as a child and only her dress remains so I would love be able to find the exact doll and dress for her. She would be a vintage Ginny Baby doll, approximately 16 inches, her name was on the back of her neck and she had moving eyelids to "sleep" when lying down and could bend at the hips. Her hair was short blond with a slight curl. The partial doll had a red sleeveless velveteen dress with a white lace trim. I have added a photo of the exact dress that my relative still has. The white stitching joining the necklace to the waist is a child's repair, it was a round neck originally and the lace more ruffled. The only versions I can find have different clothes so would appreciate any help someone could offer. Thank you all! submitted by /u/Aishybashy to r/HelpMeFind [link] [comments]

I bought this huge Acme toy company 1930s composition doll on Facebook marketplace for only $20, came with the chair! I washed the clothes ( had mice poop on them 😐) I added a bigger vintage bonnet. His/her name is Benette. I immediately thought of the name as soon as I held the doll. I love this baby's happy face!

I am NOT the OOP. OOP is u/DadWhoStoodHisGround who posted in r/EntitledPeople Status: Concluded Trigger Warnings: entitled family, golden child dynamics Original Post : Nov 14, 2021 Last Update : Nov 15, 2021 (1 day later)   Entitled sister in law stole our baby name. Now she regrets it Hey y'all. Long time lurker and all that. This is a throwaway account. To cut to the chase my wife and I spent four years trying to get pregnant before the wrong side of 35. We are currently 33 respectively now and are blessed with a wonderful infant son. My wife has a younger half sister that she has been LC with for some time. The woman is entitled and toxic, and also her mother's golden child. We've refused to let her or my MIL in the house since they both blatantly tried to make off with my wife's jewelry box a couple of years ago. The box contained a lot of valuable jewelry inherited from my wife's grandmother. Said jewelry is now in a safety deposit box as per my suggestion. My wife and I had nearly given up trying to conceive when it suddenly happened. And we were ecstatic. After we found out we were having a boy, we started looking into names. I ended up suggesting the name of my Scottish grandfather, and my wife loved it. So that's the name we settled on. But we made the mistake of posting about it on social media. Well no surprise to the stereotype in this mess, my SIL was pregnant too. And was months further along than my wife and also having a boy. She decided to claim my grandfather's name for her own son. And not just the first name, but the middle name too. We called her pissed over what she was doing, and she smugly told us there's nothing we can do about it. Which she was sorta right. There was nothing we could do about it legally as it's still not a crime to steal planned baby names. We realized that drama was exactly what my SIL wanted. And she thought that by taking the name for herself, we'd not be able to use it. I laughed and told her that while what she did was dirty and underhanded, we would keep our chosen name. And she could just deal with it whether she decides to go through with copying us or not. Well my SIL's baby-daddy called me and said I was an unreasonable dick for still wanting to use the name after SIL claimed it. I said she claimed nothing. And since we couldn't own the name, then neither could they. Before he ended the call he threatened me by saying I'd be sorry if we didn't change the name. Then he hung up before I could respond. Months later SIL has a healthy baby boy and names him my grandfather's name. We did not show up for the birth. Both because of the pandemic, and because we simply didn't care to be there. SIL called us wanting congratulations. But we told her we simply didn't care. And that if she was still insisting we change our baby's name, then she'd be in for some big disappointment because we were not. SIL demanded I put my wife on the phone. But it was already on speaker and my wife spoke up and said she agrees with me entirely. We weren't changing the name. SIL hung up on us, but soon started sending emails with text walls of names. Even suggesting similar ones. I responded back that the name was from my grandfather, and that's why we were not changing it. She shut up and we didn't hear from her again till after our own son was born. Two months later we were blessed with our son. He came out perfect, and we named him just as we'd intended. Well no surprise my SIL called us a few days after the birth to scream in our ears that we copied her son's name. I pointed out she was the real copycat since she had no familial ties to the name and we did. And anyone who looks at our family trees could see that. Then my wife spoke and said after the attempted theft of her grandmother's jewelry, she no longer considered SIL her sister. And would have nothing to do with her nephew either. For months we were bombarded with messages and emails from my wife's side of the family. Half were on our side after finding out the whole story, the other half were not. And SIL's baby-daddy true to his word showed up at my door to "Make me sorry". I'm not sure what his plan was. But I pretty much towered over him. I'm 6'1 and well built from regular exercise and three trips to the gym a week. He on the other hand was very skinny and about 5'6 with a babyface that was badly hidden by a slim beard. I told him my house has cameras, and to get off my property and never come back. He just yelled a few obscenities at me and drove off in his beat up old car. SIL and MIL called us from a different number to yell at me for making SIL's baby-daddy feel emasculated. I didn't even threaten the man. Just told him to leave and not come back. And if he didn't want to feel emasculated, then he shouldn't have come knocking. Then they tried to bring up the issue of the baby name again and demanded we change our son's name as "He's so young. So there's still plenty of time to do it!". We held our ground and told them that they were bonkers to still think they were in the right after they copied our choice of name just to try and get one over on us. I said SIL didn't even name her son out of love, but out of spite just to try and stick it to my wife for no good reason. Then my wife called them both out on the way she was treated growing up, how entitled SIL and MIL have always been, and how she was glad to leave them far behind. And she wants nothing from them, and they won't have anything from us. That left SIL sobbing and MIL called me a Royal Bastard before hanging up the phone. That was NC again for a little while till SIL called us again some time later to bitterly tell us we'd won. She and her Baby-Daddy got in a huge fight and he left. He was apparently very sore that SIL didn't let him even give their son a middle name from his family. And he said he was sick of the bullshit and wanted his son named after him and not some guy he wasn't even related to. SIL finally caved and they got the boy's birth certificate reissued with a completely new name. Which cost SIL around $500, or so she claims. SIL then demanded we at least compensate her for the name change, plus another $100 for the emotional damage as now she's going to have to get used to calling her son by a different name. We laughed and said this would have never happened if she hadn't stolen our baby name to begin with, and we didn't owe her anything. Since then we've been NC with SIL and MIL. But my FIL who's a very nice man and divorced from MIL for obvious reasons would come by often and loves his grandson. From what he and other relatives told us the situation between SIL and her Baby-Daddy was pretty tumultuous. But we don't care. Not our monkeys, not our circus.   Top Comment: This was very satisfying to read. SIL sounds awful. OOP: She is a completely spoiled, toxic and petty woman. Her cousin and mother too. So we want nothing to do with the lot of them Why my wife hates her family Hi y'all. I didn't elaborate about my wife's extended family in my prior post. But to be frank they are mostly just plain nasty. My wife has a younger half sister from her mother's second marriage. But from what I'm told the half sister's father was very emotionally and physically abusive to my wife, and didn't stick around more than ten years before flying the coup for reasons I don't know. And because my wife has a different father, she also had different grandparents. My wife's father is a very nice man. And we get along quite well. He divorced my wife's mother early on in their marriage because she's completely toxic. Because of having different parents there's a seven year age gap between my wife and her half sister. Said half sister ended up being pretty much the baby of the family. And they paid little attention to my wife once SIL was born. So my wife left to live with her father full time at some point in her teens. And her mother made a huge stink about it because without her, she no longer got child support money. That woman has also been nothing but crass and snide to me since I met her. I think mainly because I'm not rich since she bluntly said my wife could do better. I make a decent yearly salary. So I cover my expenses just fine, have my own house, and now a wonderful family. SIL as I said in the first post was the golden child. She was brought up pretty much all the stereotypical ways that you can imagine. Never held accountable. Never made to pay her own way on anything. Got into all kinds of trouble because she was spoiled rotten. You can think of her as almost having been an embodiment of Veruca Salt, minus the rich enabling dad. And when she first met me, there was quite an awkward and nasty period before she met her baby-daddy. Around the time my wife's sister turned 18, she came visiting us more often. And also started asking to spend the night on weekends. I left that decision up to my wife. And she allowed it because she hoped it'd help her and her sister become closer as siblings. But over time I noticed SIL was hanging around me more. And she was dressing in skimpier clothes and complimenting me a lot. She loved to pinch my arms and said I was like a Ken doll with muscles. Then one day she actually tried to put her hand on my crotch. That was the last straw and I told her to leave. She said I didn't know what I was missing before my wife laid into her and they had a huge fight. SIL said my wife didn't deserve a man like me before storming out. I guess SIL found me attractive and thought she could take me away from my wife, or perhaps she just wanted to bait me. I dunno. But I do know that I'd NEVER let something like that happen. I love my wife dearly. She's a positively radiant woman who knows how to make me smile every day. I could never be unfaithful to her. But SIL didn't give up. She got her cousin in on things and continued to harass us. SIL heavily flirted with me on multiple occasions whenever we visited MIL over the next couple of years. She even started getting her cousin involved, and together they actually ganged up on me at a family Halloween party once. They were both dressed in skimpy animal ear cosplay outfits and actually proposed we go upstairs and have a threesome together. I not only declined, but said they both needed to find some nice 'single' guys their own age. Then immediately told my wife what happened. She laid into them in front of everyone at the event. But MIL sided with her golden child and got several other relatives to have her back by claiming I was lying to make trouble. So we just left to avoid more drama. Around the time SIL's 21st birthday came and went, MIL called us furious that we missed the birthday and didn't even send a gift. And apparently SIL was crying over it. I said I was not comfortable around SIL because she attempted to seduce me multiple times. And my wife said that it was not my choice but hers whether or not to send a gift. And she didn't want to because of what SIL did. And MIL never even so much as scolded her for it. MIL called it 'Young Hormones' and said family shouldn't be so cruel to each other. There was another big fight between MIL and my wife, and we went LC with the bulk of her family for a while. Then two years ago my wife's grandmother died. She left most of what she had to her son, my FIL. But among the things my wife got was all her jewelry. It was all vintage antique jewelry that had been passed down to only women in the family for years. And we had the collection appraised and was valued as a whole at several hundred thousand dollars because the jewelry was not only vintage, but some of it was around 200 years old. We decided it was best to keep the jewelry locked away in the grandmother's jewelry box, which in itself is also a valuable hand made antique. We figured that was it. But all was not well with MIL and SIL. They both had showed up at the reading of my wife's grandmother's will. And MIL was appalled she got nothing. Even more so after finding out my wife got the jewelry. My wife's grandmother had no relationship with SIL at all, and barely one with MIL. So SIL wasn't even mentioned in the will. MIL threatened to take us to court and contest the will. But never did. Instead she tried getting nicer to us. And my wife decided to give them one last chance and allowed them into our home again. But as soon as our backs were turned, they tried to make off with the jewelry and all it's contents. I'd gone out to pick up some pre-ordered food for dinner, and my wife was distracted by MIL. SIL had pretended to use the bathroom and raided my wife's vanity. But I caught SIL outside by sheer chance when I pulled in the driveway because I wasn't gone as long as they'd hoped. As soon as my headlights flashed her, she dropped the box on the ground before jumping in MIL's car and locking herself in it. Wife and MIL came running out when they heard me cursing up a storm, wife saw the smashed jewelry box and freaked out. MIL realized she and SIL were caught and had a huge fit over how she believed my wife didn't deserve the jewelry. I got between them and MIL hit me a few times, and even drew some blood with her sharp nails. But she drove off before we could even get another word in once my wife said she was calling the police. We left the evidence untouched on the ground and called the police. MIL and SIL were arrested. But basically got a slap on the wrist with only community service and a fine. The jewelry box was badly damaged. It had a long crack that started up one corner and went all the way to the top, and one of the brass hinges broke. I took it to someone who restores old stuff and it costed hundreds of dollars to restore it. I went to see MIL and said she and SIL were paying for the repairs to the box or we'd be taking them both to court over it. MIL told me that wasn't happening until I brought up the fact we still have documented police evidence SIL tried to steal the box, and I could also sue MIL for the assault she did to me. She wrote me out a check to cover the damages right away and told me to leave. I said that the check better not bounce or have a stop payment put on it, or I'd had zero problem taking her and SIL to court. The check thankfully cleared without issue. We got the jewelry box back looking even better than it did before. But we decided the jewelry wasn't safe in our home anymore and had it put in a secure safety deposit box. Where it has remained to this day. This incident was also what made us decide our home needed cameras. And we've since installed some. Then from my first post you all know what SIL did by copying the baby name my wife and I chose. Which was also the name of my grandfather. So you can read how that went. What I didn't say in that post was how much my wife's other relatives that sided with SIL put us through. Especially MIL and SIL's cousin. MIL called and texted us repeatedly from a variety of different numbers demanding we change our son's name. Both before and after he was born. We never once even humored her. And the cousin harassed us online multiple times. I ended up pointing out the time SIL and her cousin had cornered and tried to proposition me, and then the cousin blocked me on FB when more people started questioning us both about it since MIL had kept that situation on heavy damage control back then. Several false rumors were spread about us and my wife's family ended up divided. And are still divided now because of this. But MIL, SIL, SIL's cousin, and a few other family members close to them were fully on their side. They believed that it didn't matter where SIL got her baby's name. Said name was hers now and we needed to let it go. I fired back that there was nothing to let go. SIL copied the name we had, and we still used it because it was my grandfather's name. We weren't asking SIL to change her kid's name. We just weren't gonna change our son's name because she copied it. And since we weren't going to associate with them anymore, the two kids would be complete strangers to each other anyway. The false rumors spread about me and my wife were pretty bad. For me personally SIL tried to claim I was secretly only into younger women, and I'd leave my wife as soon as she hit 40. And she also tried to say that my son isn't really mine, and claimed my wife had an affair because I wasn't getting her pregnant. I never asked her to do it because I never believed them, but my wife got a DNA test just to prove I am my son's father to them. After that the rumor mill died down and eventually stopped. After the mess where SIL and her baby-daddy nearly broke up and she changed her child's name, we were paid a visit by the cousin. She demanded we pay the money owed to SIL for the name change, and when we refused, she screamed at us that we ruined SIL's relationship, and now her child's new name will always be a reminder of what we did. I simply told her to leave as we didn't start this mess, and we didn't even try to end it. We just wanted no part of it. SIL's cousin flipped me the bird with both hands and said she wished she could do it with her toes to. Then left. Before she got in her car I said if she ever tried to come back, I'd call the police and file for a restraining order. And that's pretty much it as we were and still are completely NC with MIL and SIL, and the cousin too.   Top Comment: That's one crazy family.

Hi, I’ve noticed that on eBay, depop, Vinted and poshmark the prices on babydoll and Henley vintage tops from the 2000 brand A&F and Hollister Co have skyrocketed to on average 150$ and some peak at 700$ (I can’t find that listing right now but I found similar ones). Now my question isn’t about the sudden inflation but about the consumers making the demand and willing to pay those prices. I’m curious on how we managed to reach these prices in such a short amount of time. Note: my intent isn’t to shame anyone or complain about the buyers or the sellers or the platforms, my inquiry is out of simple curiosity because I can’t make sense of it. These tops were manufactured for kids (many listings state that they’re marked up on kids sizing, so an XL fits a woman S) and teenagers (14-18 years old) and thus designed to be liked by those age ranges. I get that TikTok, the Y2k trend and the Twilight trend have triggered the sales but I still don’t understand who buys these tops at these new prices and especially who can afford them? Are the nostalgic millennials the targeted customers? Is the gen Z the buyer? Is it varied? I’m surprised because these tops sell in less than a day and get many bidders. I struggle to see how someone average below 25 (maybe attending uni and paying for tuition/doing an internship/working their first full time job) can afford to spend comfortably 600$ on a garment (it’s not very financially sustainable). Is everyone saving 600$ for a special treat while working part time gigs and collecting pocket money? submitted by /u/Born_Commercial_2936 to r/Depop [link] [comments]

Before school, my seven year-old sets out clothes and food for me to facilitate her baby, named Peaches. Which I readily do ;) Even if you’re not into American girl dolls, if you have kids that like baby dolls, there are no better than Bitty baby. The weight, the size and all the accessories and clothes are perfectly crafted. And the vintage clothes… Pure cotton, high-quality details, like real buttons, embroidery, beautiful knits, durability and most of all they are SUPER ADORABLE. If you look around, you can find good deals on the secondhand market. The new bitty baby stuff… I haven’t been impressed. Just like everything, the quality has greatly suffered in the last 10 years. submitted by /u/Tricky_Jackfruit_562 to r/americangirl [link] [comments]

Every November I (24 F) receive a dreaded text in our extended family group chat from my cousin (35 F). The text includes a highly detailed Christmas list from her 5 year old, who we’ll call Penny. The items are ALWAYS expensive, obscure, and very hard to find. Additionally, she expects us to reply with the item we have purchased then sends back the updated list with that item checked off. Each year there’s exactly the number of items for people in the chat, and once people hurry to claim the cheapest ones you’re left with $100-$300 items to choose from. My cousin is an only child and her mom caters to this, as well as her dad, but the rest of us are getting pretty sick of it. Last year someone didn’t follow the list and said they’d already bought something else in the group chat and she responded that “isn’t what Penny wants this year” which made them feel guilty for not adhering to this insanity. Now some backstory. Penny has autism, is non-verbal, and the sweetest child ever. My cousin and her husband are good parents for the most part, but they are a little self focussed. For example, they are both collectors of things like manga and toys and lose their minds if Penny touches their things (and the home is FULL of their collections). They have an entire room dedicated to this, which they call the ‘fun room’ and their daughter isn’t allowed in. Not so fun. Now here’s the kicker. The items on the list are almost always part of a collection. Either vintage certain edition this or that, and tons and tons of Beanie babies. They have started a toy collection similar to their own for Penny, but it’s a lot of things I’ve never seen her enjoy or show much interest in. One year the most excitement she showed was for the box, and she LOVES Disney movies and paw patrol but never has she gotten gifts related to these things. Also, we suggested some gifts like a toy kitchen or something interactive and sensory and they shut that down in favor of expensive Lego. Star Wars Lego? She’s five. I know damn well that’s going straight to daddy’s ‘fun room’. This year I’m getting her an Ariel doll and matching dress. I’m stopping the madness. submitted by /u/panduhhayls to r/entitledparents [link] [comments]

So for background, my best friend has gotten into going to these Spartan races. He and a small group of his friends have started going to local ones but recently heard about one in another state they wanted to go to and compete in, but they didn't have anywhere to stay. So they asked me if they could borrow my truck and trailer (I have a tow behind camper) for the weekend. I said no, I wasn't comfortable with them taking my truck and trailer but that I'd drive them and the camper to their event. We made the three hour trip and set everything up in the area where the race was taking place the next day. I have a habit of leaving my keys on a hook next to the door to my bedroom in my camper. Remember this. Come nightfall, I went to take a phone call outside and ended up wandering around the grounds for over an hour. When I got back to the camper, the door was locked, and I was told by my best friend's older friend through the window that there wasn't enough room for me in MY trailer. So I reached for my keys to unlock the door, but realized I had left them inside the camper on the hook in my room. So I called my best friend from outside and all I was told was "sorry bro, nothing I can do". So I ended up sleeping in my truck that night, which I had fortunately left unlocked by accident. Their race began at 8 am, and at 7, they came meandering out of the trailer and woke me up. No apology, by the way. So while they were in their race, I hooked my truck back up to the trailer, closed and locked everything, and waited until just after they finished and had started walking back to the trailer (think really wide open field). When I saw them coming, I started the truck and drove off the property. With them chasing behind. I made the three hour trip back home declining call after call. When I finally got home, I finally took my best friend's call. He started yelling at me saying "why would you do this? We have no way home now". I just said sorry, you shouldn't have made me sleep in my truck after I did you this solid. He told me that there were better ways to handle this than by leaving them in an unfamiliar city with no way home. I think he ended up calling his dad to come and get them. Is he right? Was there a better way to handle this? I felt justified until he said that. I am kinda doubting my decision now. Am I the asshole? submitted by /u/cameronjames222 to r/AmItheAsshole [link] [comments]
