PERSONAL FUN FACT: I definitely recall seeing the "Basic" Ariel dolls at Toys 'R' Us back in the day. For my sixth birthday I picked out Princess Mermaid Ariel and a fashion pack for her. Although I thought the "Basic" doll was a tad prettier, her hair wasn't as long. Plus, she didn't come with any extras. I'm sure that happened a lot to "Basic" Ariel dolls. It's hard to compete when you don't have as many extras as other dolls on shelves. Anyways, the first lady I owned was the one on the left side of this photo. She actually has a super cool backstory that involves a strange twist of fate. During the fall of 2011, one of the last days we went to the local flea market, I came upon a zipper case of dolls. The case was stuffed to the gills with late 90s and early 2000s Barbies, who looked to be in fantastic condition. The main ones of interest were the Generation Girls (I needed upgrades since my childhood ladies were so forlorn). I noted that there was a large gallon sized ziploc with a few random dolls and clothing scraps next to the zipper case. The seller said we could have both the ziploc and zipper case for $10. This was too good an offer to refuse. Some of the dolls from the ziploc were a lot newer--like Fashionistas Glam. But Ariel was stashed inside, as well as a pair of 2001 Sparkling Jasmine bottoms. We dubbed this the "Generation Girl Bin." For about a year and a half, Ariel wore whatever scraps I had leftover from other dolls/fashion packs. Then in 2013, I bought another lot of dolls from the same seller (dubbed the "60 Doll Bin"). Wouldn't you know that her outfit was in the container! I'm guessing Ariel was separated from her former housemates and her outfit at one point, and was put out with dolls who originated from elsewhere.
The doll on the right also came from a bin. I rescued her in the 2015 "Bead Blast Barbie AA Lot." This container of dolls also came from the local flea market. They were packed into reusable shopping bags. Ariel's outfit was sadly not anywhere to be found. But I think she's one of the prettiest dolls in my collection, so it's super easy dressing her in other things.

More basic drawing from my Re-teach-yourself-to-draw in your old age project. It's strange to get back into it, the hardest part is to not fall back into the tricks and cheats I've picked up over the years. It's surprising how many there are when you start looking for them.
I love this fall’s comfy trends: leggings, oversized flannel shirts, puffy vests. Basically, awesome.

A basic "skeleton" for new design variations based on my Magic Folding "Fidget" Cube.
Based on this skeleton cube I found four variations of the basic design (A ... D) with the pivot points at the same positions but with some different details (changes marked with orange parts). Each of the designs has six folding steps (1 ... 6) so you get 24 different versions of a symmetrical cube or cuboid that you can use as a base for a foldable micro scale Lego model.
As bridges is this months competition, I thought I would post the most basic version as something a bit different!
Thanks for looking.
