      Imagine a monochrome doll, but with like, a contrasting eye colour and nails or something like that.
      Edit: Sorry, I should have specified that by 'contrasting' I didn't just mean hue. I imagined the monochrome would be dark and/or dull; maybe even grayscale, and the eyes would be bright. /lh

      I am a first time mom with a one year old and I am so glad she is still making videos. It feels like she has a very good support system around her that allows her to continue doing what she loves without having to worry about baby getting into everything and that makes me so happy for her. AND A NEW STUDIO! Now her paints and supplies will be out of baby's environment and she can full focus.
      It sounds like I'm saying she's trying to get away from baby. I'm not. It's super important as a new mother to be able to be alone and be able to do your own tasks because a major problem with new mothers is losing your sense of self if you are not allowed to separate from the baby.

      YEAH, SHE'S BRILLIANT! I learn so much from watching her. In one of her videos she talked about a color theory principal she learned in school, and I think about it all the time when I do color composition!
      (it was regarding a piece where she really wanted to emphasize the pink blossoms and create a rosy pastel atmosphere, so she added some light green to break up the composition to add emphasis and really make the pink pop! Anyways, it is a great tip, and I think about it all the time)

      Anything but rainbows, I'm gonna puke rainbows soon. They used to be special and meant innocence and childhood or cuteness. Nowadays it means virtue signalling for the boring masses, especially for a months straight, rainbows, rainbows and sexual preferences. Look at me, I'm special... just like all the other millions of sheep doing the same thing. Personally I am bored af and prefer to see evil black, dark demons. You will all bite my head off hating me, despite trying to signal open mindedness 🤷🏻‍♀and I am still bored. Sorry. Yeah, grunge friend. I'm for that.

      With a name like "English", it's pretty funny how your comment flubbed it a little bit lol.
      Don't take this in a negative way or anything, I did find it a little funny because it's a common mistake. What you should've said was, "What -better way to kick -off pride month than -with a bright and colourful doll!!" Minus the spelling mistake and lack of using the word "with", what you said is fine otherwise. However, since you started off with "what a way", I think you were meaning to go with the saying "what better way", so I thought I'd let you know the structure for that phrase typically goes as such: "What better way to (blank) thank to/with (blank)?/!"
      It's a phrase a lot of people tend to get wrong, so here's this to save you from any future embarrassment that may occur. You learn something new everyday :D

    I love to imagine that the reason her sweater is made out of different fabric patches is because she had several bad falls while skating that caused some damage to it so she patched it up using fabric scraps 💖 Maybe Tokki helped and sewed on the big heart in the middle since it matches her more pastel palette aaa 🥲💕 I love that you can tell Tokki looks up to Ruby a lot just from a few photos 💕💕 It's so sweet 😭

    It is a little ironic how Ruby both blends in and stands out from the rest of your rainbow pastel dolls. Yes, her hair is made of rainbows and goes very well with the rest, but also stands out just from how bright and saturated she is. She's like the one friend in the group who does another sport or club compared to the rest, but has a common interest that makes her fit right in 😅

    Amazing doll, as usual. The super hero motif on the skateboard was actually something that the original character liked, and they even made an episode based on it. The whole thing was based on Comicon and Ghoulia had to save a stolen comic that had that superhero, which was her favorite. I'm glad to see that they added that small easter egg into her new doll.

    Arcus (Great because it means “Goddess of the rainbow.”)
    Coral
    Prism (Because prisms reflect *bright* light that can bend into *rainbows*)

    9:11 There is science behind this! Well kind of, most people interact with bright colors from childhood in the form of enjoyable things such as toys, stuffed animals, colorful clothing, etc, and the brain memorizes that as a positive experience, therefore when seeing bright fun colors the brain recognizes it as a positive and release endorphins (I may be confusing that for another hormon so take it with a grain of salt) which makes us energetic and excited!
