Hello Little Monsters! I am interrupting Pride postings to bring you this special and important announcement! @curvygirlsdolls is a line of dolls made of curvy girls by curvy girls! they were kind enough to send me their press kit for promotion and I am just in love with their brand!
I, Your humble Monster Haus admin, Jess. am not articulate enough to properly emphasis how important these dolls are to not just kids but adult collectors and society in general! but they will add diversity to ANY doll line up for many, many reasons! not just their size but who they are as characters! These women are powerful! fashionable! modern! and innovative! I could go on is what I am saying.
But they need funding! and they need it bad! if they don’t hit their goal the dolls won’t go into production! there’s 2 weeks left of their kickstarter and we need to get them out there and go viral! Please! I urge you to give what you can! I myself have made a pledge to them because I believe in this line with all my heart!
If you are unable to donate surely you know someone who can! please reblog this post! or a post directly from @curvygirlsdolls ! send their page to your friends! family! any plus size influencers who you think would love to promote them! we need all hands on deck my dears! this is not a drill!
Why am I so passionate about this? well, I want more body types in my doll collection for one thing, everyone being thin or muscular is very boring to me, makes for an uninspired cast. but it’s deeper than that, I myself am a curvy girl.
and I have lived my life without any dolls who look like me, feeling like you don’t belong is never a good feeling, it wasn’t fun as a kid playing with all my dolls that had idealized bodies and it’s still not fun now. I shouldn’t have been made to feel like I was wrong for what I am, no one should! and with dolls like these out there for kids to see themselves in we are one step closer to a world where no kid ever feels that way again!
The curvy Barbie is nice, I love her & have a lot of them but she isn’t plus size, she’s average which is great in it’s own right but we need dolls that are undeniably fat, chunky, plump, chubby, thicc … whatever you wanna call it so that little curvy kids don’t grow up hating themselves, like I did. as an adult I am finally proud of of the body I have but seeing dolls and representation like this would have made that process go SO much faster! @curvygirlsdolls phrased this perfectly on their facebook page. Curvy Barbie is cute! but she is not an accurate representation of the plus size population.
Please signal boost their kick starter! everyone needs to see this! the more eyes the better! you can also support them on patreon!
I made a post over on my doll blog about this kickstarter and it’s very important! I cannot stress enough!
Fat dolls! I repeat! plus size thicc dolls could be yours! please donate! reblog! and signal boost! at last we can have body type diversity in our toys!
