![from @itstransfat - I was hoping to get this gal finished before the end of the takeover but, alas, it was not in the cards. Im definitely going to continue the customization and post the finished product on my Instagram! I've had a great time doing this takeover. I hope you've all enjoyed yourselves, too.
Xoxo -Garnet

Image description: a portrait style photo of our custom Joss! She's gazing straight ahead, her eyes are dirty with pigment powder (I hold of on cleaning them until I am completely finished with the face). Her skin has gone from pale white to a golden caramel color. She has raspberry colored lips and a band of dark brown freckles across her cheeks and nose.]()

Image Description: A slide with text. The background is a closeup photo of ocean waves edited in the Vaporwave style. The light areas of the water is a bright magenta while the shadows and lowlights are a deep eggplant purple. On top of the background are 3 light pink circles of descending sizes with a white graphing line design. The large and medium circles contain text while the small circle in the upper right corner contains a headshot of the Joss American Girl doll. Joss has light skin, long straight light brown hair with honey colored highlights, a rounded face and a hearing aid. She is wearing a pink and salmon colored bathing suit with a geometric pattern and a white and sky blue jacket with holographic ocean waves down the arms.

I treated myself to a new doll-- Joss, girl of the year 2020. Joss comes with custom fit hearing aids & is the first disabled American Girl doll. originally, my order got delivered to the wrong address, so Mattel sent me a replacement.. Well today I got a call from my former building manager saying Hey, we found a package for you & are holding it for ya.
I pick up Joss #2 tomorrow.
I'm wondering if y'all would like to choose how she gets customized? I'll add some polls to my insta story & ya'll can vote on things like eye color, hair color/style, piercings, makeup, skin features, etc.
Interested?]()

Today was bitter sweet.
I received my first covid vaccine today. For me it means one more step towards freedom. I never experienced my youth. Ableism and in accessibility isolated me for nearly all of my 20s. Drag opened up my world. I was finally beginning to start having a life, friends, a community. cute femmes bought me drinks for the first time. I had been so lonely for so long, and suddenly I had all these new possibilities.
Then covid happened. And my budding new life was ripped away from me. I was sent straight back to my life of miserable issolation.
so getting this shot has deep significant meaning for me. It's given me a glimmer of hope that I can rebuild the life that I was just beginning before the pandemic.
But today I also told my Dr about the new fibro-like symptoms I have developed. She has decided to test me for lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. The thought of being even sicker than I already am scares me. I'm scared of going on immuno suppressants during a pandemic. I fear post-issolation life slipping further away from me
I just want to experience life as a normal 20-something-year-old. I want to feel young
I'm terrified I may never get the chance.]()
