Howdy creeps and peeps! Welcome to the Monster Mall, a place that lives in the intersection of cute and weird, of sweet and sour, of horror and prime commercialism. I’ve been a long time toy lover who’s now journeying through doll modding territory and I flipping love it! You might’ve gained a follow from my main blog @unfriendlyamazon, but this is where I plan to post all doll related materials. Welcome to the party!

Autistic Barbie 💜

A few months ago I made a post on dolls with disabilities that many of you seemed to like, there were two dolls with autism mentioned (Twyla and Hayden) but now Barbie has just released a new autistic Barbie in partnership with ASAN!

ASAN also made it a point to have the doll be a woman of colour as these two groups typically tend to go underdiagnosed.

Typically Barbie Fashionistas who represent a certain disability will have a fashion with a motif relating to their disability (diabetes Barbie (#242) has blue circles on her outfit and the Down’s Syndrome Barbies (#208 and #229) who have a blue and yellow palette, butterflies, and chevrons on their outfits). I have seen some people and organizations say that purple is a colour that can represent autism but there are several colours and symbols people die to represent autism, and with there being no confirmation from Barbie nor ASAN saying the dress colour has significance I decided not to mention it.

Dolls who are disabled + use service aids!

I wanted to make this post for disability pride month (July) because it is something important to me. Some people may ask “what about having a disability is prideful?” And it is honestly a great question because it does seem like something that absolutely sucks (and it does a lot of the time), but personally, I am very proud of how resilient, patient and caring my disabilities have made me, I’m proud of how myself and many others have come to advocate for our needs, I’m proud of who I am and my disabilities are a part of that.
