PERSONAL FUN FACT: Most of my Bratzillaz dolls don't have super exciting backstories. That's simply because I purchased the majority of them around the same time, online or at the stores (many on clearance). I knew that this short lived line of dolls would not be easy to find later on secondhand, so I put extra effort into tracking them down brand new. However, this "Basic" Yasmina does have a unique story behind her, that is one of my favorites in my collection. I never paid this line any attention in stores. Granted, I hated the Bratzillaz dolls for most of their time as an active doll line. By the time I had a change of heart, the dolls were officially discontinued, which meant I snagged a ton of them on clearance. I still wasn't mesmerized by these "Basic" dolls. I didn't understand why MGA made them so much "cheaper" than the regular Bratzillaz dolls (many of whom were already questionable quality). As you can see, this gal doesn't have articulation and she has painted eyes, not inset ones. But as my window of opportunity to get these "Basic" dolls was closing, I found myself really taken with their painted features. This doll is absolutely gorgeous--besides "Basic" Cloetta, she might have the most stunning face of the bunch. So I took it upon myself to find them in stores while I could. However, I was only able to track down Jade, Meygana, and Sashabella (which was impressive nonetheless). Yasmina was my favorite doll from this collection at the time, and I was annoyed that I was having no luck acquiring her. So I took to the internet to see if I'd fare better. Lo and behold, on Amazon I found cheap listings for Cloetta and Yasmina, and promptly ordered them. I checked my tracking info everyday. Yasmina made it to Massachusetts, and I eagerly awaited her arrival. Then a day passed, two days, three days, etc. Why was she not here?!!! I started to realize that there was a strong possibility that she had gotten lost in the mail. I was devastated, and I had spent money on a doll (not much at least), that I was never going to see. Colleen contacted the Amazon seller and explained the situation. Since they could see for themselves that the tracking info had not updated in a week, they offered to send us a replacement. So I held my breath, waiting for this Yasmina to arrive. I thought for sure she was cursed, and would end up being lost too, in the vortex where all mail seems to disappear to. But fortunately she arrived, and super quickly. Yasmina was unharmed, and was probably really confused as to why we were so ecstatic to see her. I'm very grateful that I was able to get a replacement doll. Had I bought her from eBay from a seller with only one, I would not have been so lucky. I still think to this day about my first Yasmina, the one I never met. I hope she somehow was saved, and that someone took her in. But fate gave me this doll, and I've loved her since late 2013/early 2014, when she arrived. Funnily enough, Cloetta ended up being my favorite aesthetically from this line. But sentimentally, this Yasmina will always be the gal I most appreciate.

When dressing Agnes in this 'Barbie Pink' dress, I kind of had the concept that she was channelling Malibu Barbie - after all Malibu Sky Agnes was designed as a 'basic' doll. Be that as it may, in my opinion she is one of the very best versions of Agnes - I think Barbie would approve ;-)

Red de Buenos Aires... aplicando la ley 670 pero con modificaciones en las Líneas a construír... haciendo ramales en las mismas y compartiendo túneles en varios tramos. También cambiando el recorrido de las Líneas F y G en su tramo Sur. Y extendiendo la Línea H hasta La Boca compartiendo túnel con la Línea G en su nuevo tramo por el bajo porteño.
También extendiendo el PREMETRO hacia el norte de la ciudad haciéndolo subterráneo en las zonas más densas.

I got promoted! Actually it is the rank I enlisted with but they screwed up the paperwork and didn't know I was an E-2 upon enlistment and a good thing for me.
I left for basic training on a flight from Ohare in Chicago IL and got stuck on a seat next to a guy who looked like Charlie Manson and he talked all the way to texas about how much fun it would be. Do you think we'll get a maching gun to shoot? I can't wait to go to war! I'm gonna do this and that and the other thing. OMG I wished the guy would just shut up, but on and on we went. Even to this day I don't have a clue where we landed but remember getting off the plane and all these sergeants were there with clipboards and screaming at us assholes to form up in ranks, but nobody knew what that meant except me because I had four years of Army ROTC training in high school. Didn't help much in this situation, but we finally managed to get into a line and they put us on busses and took us to the Air Base for more processing and more paperwork to fill out and sign. We were super tired and it was like O dark O'clock when we finally got to our barracks only to find more shit to listen to even though some guys were falling asleep as they stood. That's when we met SSgt Lundsford. We got a speech about duty, honor, country..then an ass chewing like you wouldn't believe about how we were grabastic pieces of shit, but how he would help us become fucking human beings worthy of serving in the armed forces of our country...on and on it went, he picked out a few people to personally villify and knock around, but finally we got to go to our bunks and sleep. It was around 3am (0300). Too bad that revelie was at 0600, and we got a rude awakening with SSgt Lundsford screaming lots of nasty stuff and dumping bunks over spilling the sleeping occupants on "his" shiny floor and fucking it all up! He checked his roster and asked if anyone had ROTC training and I almost raised my hand, but heard him mumble...oh, we don't have any..good...I hate those assholes and love to fuck with them, so I put my almost raised hand back down. It was a wise decision too.
My plane buddy who looked like charlie manson looked alot different when he got his beard and head shaved off, but he still went on about how he was going to be a war hero. But that only lasted two days. He was so frightened by the TI he ran across the upper floor of the barracks on the second day and right throught the window and screen...I saw his body hit the grass outside the barracks and roll off in spasms. They called an ambulance and took him away...not that big a hero I guess. Another guy tried the same thing the next day but couldn't manage to break throught the glass and screen. But after these guy were weeded out we got down to the business of...marching alot and playing robots. I liked it.
