Doll Spotlight: Doll #9- Kailani Akina

-

 Kailani probably has my favorite story as to how I got her. I was sitting in my 9th grade english class. I finished my finals within the first like 30 minutes of class (I had purposefully taken the english class below what I was recommended so I would have an easy class) so I pulled out my phone and started scrolling AGIG where I saw one of my mutuals posted a Kanani for sale on their story. I immediately screenshotted the picture and sent it to my mom, asking if I could buy the doll.  I don't remember exactly how it went down but I went into my english finals with 9 dolls and came out with 10.

Kailani is a very special doll, she started as a magic, unicorn, mermaid girlie, and that whimsical spirit has kept with her. Her and her twin, Kamden, have a lot of backstory. They grew up on Hawaii, going back and forth between their house and their aunt's. I hope to share the story of them reminiscing on their childhood soon I just have to finish everyone's spotlights first. 

Kailani identifies as a lesbian and is dating Grace. She and Grace have two pups, a french bulldog named Petunia and a retriever mix named Daffodil.

  Wren sits expectedly on the wooden swing on the front porch. It’s an unusually warm day for mid March, 70°F, sunny clear skies. The world is starting to wake up after a long winter’s slumber. A flock of robins congregate in the front lawn eating the spring season’s first offerings. Wren’s sporting her orange knitted crop top with brown straps, a patchwork pair of jean shorts, and her old reliable boots, dark grey with flowers scattered about. She sits, watching the passing cars with anticipation, looking for a bright lime green Subaru to drive in.  Her bestest friend is coming to the Blog By Dolls household to live with her, like they always dreamed of. Yasmine had sent in a request to join and listed Wren as a point of reference. Needless to say Wren was a wonderful reference and Yasmine passed everything she needed to and will be coming to live in the BBD house! Now to wait for Yasmine to pull up. Wren sways back and forth on the swing as her sister’s red GMC SUV pulls int...

Spotlight: Doll #32- Yasmine Williams

 The plan was to finish up these dolls intros before I added anymore new dolls to the collection, but that's not how it worked out. I asked for a AG outfit for my birthday, but didn't want to ask for a doll because I didn't want anyone spending that much money on me. But my Nana ended up giving me a 125 dollar AG gift card so I used it to get Makena. Her unboxing video is up on my youtube! All my links are on my Socials page here on the blog. Yasmine is a fashionista. She loves styling and posting her ootd. She hopes to become a fashion designer. She grew up a few houses down from Wren and Lark. Yasmine is loosely based off both the Makena character from AG and also one of my best friends growing up. Yasmine loves bright bold colors, lime green being her current fav. but her favorite color switches up often.  Yasmine is a cis woman and being my newest doll I haven't settled on what her sexuality is, I'm thinking pan maybe? She rooms with Wren in the BBD house.  Got ...

 I got Quinnie from my cousin for Christmas. She was one of her dolls and I was so happy to finally have a Marie-Grace doll! Quinnie is a huge true crime junkie.

She has two dogs, Yarrow and Basil. She doesn't live in the BBD house. Any quinnie questions? Ask away!
