Honestly the people that made fun of teenagers still playing with dolls are just jealous that they grew up too quickly. Never be ashamed for loving things made for children :) I miss my childhood :(
i needed this..
Mia Esteve Spencer 👍👍
ismehoe good! Never let other people determine your own happiness :)
Such nice words, very well said! I always liked dolls and toys and things like that. I was already 14 when the monster high dolls came out and honestly, I thought they were the most beautiful dolls the earth had ever seen. I was so ashamed to buy one but I was lucky enough to have a mother who never rushed me or tried to change me in any way so I bought one. It was the last one though because I was scared and for the past few years I thought I was over it.
I'm 22 now and rediscovering my love for dolls, so this comment means really much to me. Thank you! 💕
Me too. I played dolls and beanie babies with my lil sister and cousins all the time. We made lil homes and stores and make believe places for them to play. So much fun 😭💖
This is the content we LOVE to see! You have an incredible collection omg. Collecting takes DEDICATION, and there's nothing childish about devoting yourself to things you're passionate about. Life's short, if something, in this case dolls, sparks joy & euphoria, it's worth treasuring.
Omg hi clawdeena
CLAWDEENA ILY!!!!
Hiiiii clawdeena!!!!!I looooove ur channel!!!!!!!!!!!
Go awf queen 💅🏻💅🏻💅🏻
It's ok girl, I used to be in love with the Bratz ponies. I would take my pony to school every day of fourth grade. One day my homeroom teacher took my doll. So I improved my grades and got close to her as a master plan to become her student teacher assistant. Once I was alone in the room as her student TA, I used her keys to open the drawer where confiscated toys went. I stole my and my friend's ponies and never spoke of it again.... And never brought the pony to school again. 😂
Now retelling this i forgot how savage fourth graders can be
Not really stealing since she stole them from you lol
haha sounds like an epic plan
This is literally like something out of a movie. This is way too funny to be here, thanks for brightening my day LOL
@@floangel5422 aww that's so cool im glad my,story made people laugh!
I love this
Okay, some vinyl toy collector wisdom:
1) Plastic boxes alone don't prevent mold, you need to use silica gel packets
2) Boil moldy fabrics and plastic for a few seconds to disinfect it, otherwise your dolls may develop "vinyl cancer" spots
3) Those curtains inside boxes could seriously damage your dolls if stored for a prolonged periods of time (dirt accumulates on them and transfers onto vinyl, leaving patterns mimicking those on the curtains), it's better to straight up bag each doll in zip bag with silica packet inside and separate them with fleece, sponge or packing peanuts inside the boxes. Replace the bags perdiodically though (every couple of years).
4) Each doll should be packed separatelly, without any accessories on to prevent plastic crosscontamination (plastics WILL melt into each other over time)
Archivist here (I know I'm late) : We are taught to never store plastic in hermetic containers for long term storage. The plastic need to breathe or it autodestroys itself. I don't know how this applies to dolls but it is valid for film and any old image and video support. (They become sticky and illegible)
Can I store Bratz dolls with their shoes on, or should I put them in a separate plastic bag to the doll?
@@Mister_DollzPut them in a separate bag
Body goals 💖
Fun fact: my mother didn’t allow me to buy/get these dolls because she thought they were too distorted and unrealistic and they would give me body image issues.
Another fun fact! She is the one who makes me insecure.
Hugs from Hungary 💖
Oh girl🥺🥺🥺
@@tetianapodobailo
same and now that i’m older i really want them but i’m way to old..
@@amongusbaddje1446 You are never too old! And this video is a perfect example of that!
Sorry 💗
You have a beautiful very valuable collection! You must be proud! I love the Teen Bratz, they are so pretty! My tip is to wash their hair with delicate clothes wash and then condition it with clothes softener, if you notice the hair is still brittle, after rinsing, apply it again an leave it for an hour or so, it will work wonders! I have tried it in a doll from the 1960s and it was a miracle... and the quality of the hair was just as dolls today.
Ooo what brand did you use and what is it called?
@@limellama1490 I live in Spain, I am not sure you will be able to get it, I use a local brand. It is called softener you use in your washing machine, but I applied it by hand.
@@Fancylooks thank you so much!!!!!!
I LOVED bratz as a child! This brings back memories and it hasn’t even premiered yet 😂
I STILL love bratz
All the girls that were obsessed with Bratz are bad b’s now
X X not just girls !!
Jamie Peacock ^^
I wasn’t allowed them :(
@@jamiepeacock8199 literally i loved playing with them and would always get in trouble.
Richie Paz I was allowed to play with them they were my sisters then she grew out of them so I took them because I thought they were cool and I would buy them from car boots and I used to have monster high dolls
I played with dolls till i was almost 14, I remember being embarrassed about it. But now I don’t mind because i didn’t grow up to fast, you don’t realise how much you miss your childhood until it’s really gone.
aww this video just screams wholesomeness
aw haha thanks x
Confession in honour of this beautiful video: I have a pretty valuable collection of special edition Barbie dolls hidden in my closet that pretty much no one in my life knows about lol.
yes girl!
i have never seen this channel in my entire life but i am so excited to watch this for some reason
so glad you will be watching! xx
harper ! Ikr
Lol
young isabelle: oh you're a fan of bratz? name every single character
My dad made me throw out a lot of my Bratz 😔 whenever I think about it I get really depressed because they were my creative outlet and now I only have a few and incomplete outfits.
Heartbreaking 😭😖
Why tho?
@@anastasiapapakonstantinou7529 probably to make space for HIS belongings in the shed 🙄
@@TheReeShow That's so shellfish I hope you feel better now
Merry Christmas
I threw away all my dads man cave stuff when he threw away a few of my rainbow high dolls hope he feels better
This video warms my heart. I’m a 2001 baby and I grew up loving Bratz (weirdly enough I didn’t have that many Bratz dolls growing up but I did have some great ones) and I loved the movies and tv show. I used to watch them on UA-cam in parts back when copyright rules were almost non existent. I also really loved Monster High when it first started (that collection was much bigger for me) but like you said, I got to a point where all the girls my age were starting to like more teen things but my love for dolls was not going away. But I got picked on really badly which kind of discouraged me and I forced myself to not care about dolls anymore and got rid of all of them. Now I’m 19 and I’m getting back into dolls by customizing them and repainting them and I miss my early dolls so much. It is so hard to build up a collection when Monster High has been discontinued and Bratz has only come out with collector dolls recently. I regret getting rid of my dolls so much but I’m so happy to be finding my love for them again. I can’t wait to see the next videos in this series!
I wish you good luck with finding all the dolls you want 💓💓💓
Plastic bins are terrible for holding toys, especially in damp areas. I know from plastic bins alone if you leave them in there too long your dolls/ toys can get super sticky from the plastic leaking onto them. (Or at least, it happens with vintage MLP and with Barbies, I’m not entirely sure with Bratz but I feel like it can.) Along with that, being in a damp places gives them mold like what you got on yours :( the best thing to do is isolate the infected dolls so it doesn’t spread to others. I’m not sure if you can fix them, but if any are sticky I know how to fix that. Plastic bins also suck because if it gets too hot the dolls can warp. But I’m really sorry that happened to you :(. If you need any more help with resorting like hair, bodies, whatever I can try to help you. I may mostly have Pony based knowledge but I also have some doll knowledge too.
Bratz are made from a rubber plastic combination,
yeet my waffles I suspected there was rubber because of how bendy their arms are. Plus if I remember they (or at least some dolls) have the whole “bend and snap” knee gimmick. Thanks for the information!
Omg! I didn’t know that could happen to your dolls and ponies! I have barbies and MLPs in some plastic bins underneath my bed so I’ll buy some bins that aren’t plastic to put them in :)
Jailyn Martinez ive had it happen to some of mine unfortunately 😭
Could the same thing happen with stuffies?
This is so sweet! I love your emotional attachment to them, and it’s dumb that people label things as “baby” or “kid” things. Why do things have to have an age limit? I’ve felt insecure about liking stuffed animals as a teenager, but they really make me so happy! If it gives you joy, it’s just fine!
Isabella giving the people what they want, I love Bratz! all this recent y2k revival has me so nostalgic 🥺
I’m sooooo excited for this! I found this channel in 2017 via your og “the bratz fan” youtube.
Saaaame it was the bratz nerd aw😭
Theo Lanarre yes you’re right it was!
aw thank you !
I totally get this. I’ll be 30 in less than two years and I still love pretty dolls. Probably always will. And I’m not ashamed at all. I just think they’re lovely to look at, like flowers and my book collection ☺️🌸
I'm 31, and i too enjoy doll collecting. I just wish it wasn't so expensive, BJDs are insane price wise
We're the same age and I'm still growing my doll collection to this day. ♥️
🤗❤️🤗 to you both
Weirdly I actually was obsessed with Lalaloopsies as a child but my collection of them all quickly stopped after my parents divorce so seeing you so happy literally brings me chills. I love this so far.
Loved this video, please keep us updated!! ADVICE: some doll's hair can get sticky with time bc the glue and stuff comes out and gets caught up in the hair, use talc powder on dry doll hair to absorb the glue, then shampoo and condition well. This fixed my moms very old Nancy doll and her hair is back to shiny and soft, stick-free!! xxx
Actually as I know, Bratz dolls don't have a glue in their heads (I don't know about 2015 Bratz). Monster High dolls have and that's actually a big deal
@@tetianapodobailo oooh i didn't know, I had that problem with my classic Nancy doll that's why I told her, thanks for sharing your info!
@@sofiacarballo4004 have a nice day 💓
I used to be soooo obsessed with your videos! I would watch your “Bratz high” videos over and over and I swear to me they were god quality, And the fact that this video was in my recommendations is so cool 😭
I used to love Bratz as well! You know what, I even remember having an adult woman as a friend on the internet who worked at Bratz. I don't know what her job was but she sent me a box with dolls and clothes for free and that was one of my happiest moments! But I guess in my teenage years I became interested in other things.
thats awesome!
I had the bratz remote control corvette and it had functioning headlights and break lights and a REAL RADIO. It also had a trunk that opened up too. So I just would put my bratz in there and drive them around like they were in a music video
Also your hair looks beautiful here like a fairy x
I had a Chloe big baby and I haven’t thought about her in YEARS but this video has hit me with all the memories 😂
i am very impressed with ur younger self; i could never keep a collection so organized. u r so smart and awesome! wish i could function without @ least a small mess. :)
Can't wait to see the moving vlogs and seeing you start a new chapter :') I remember when you started and left uni and being so excited for u then too!
aw thank you !
This series has reignited my obsession/love for the Bratz!!!! I used to play the Rock Angles game so much, and I watched all of the movies. They had most of them on Netflix and it was immaculate. I never played with dolls (partly because my parents didn’t want me to play with them cause I’m a boy) but they always looked so cool. I’m really into fashion now and I blame it on them lol
I want to start a collection so wish me luck!
This is why I find it hard to get rid of things! The note you found is like reaching back and connecting with your younger self. It’s nice to let go of things sometimes, but I’m always scared I’ll forget a part of myself and how I used to be when I was younger 😢
This series, is what really inspired me to continue collecting Bratz dolls, to the point that I have probably 150 dolls, and I’m also obsessed with this series, and I’ve probably watched it at least 6 times
I got emotional hearing you talk about your Bratz dolls. It made me think about my dolls and all the great memories...but also how many dolls I destroyed
I didn't think I could enjoy your channel even more but here we are ☺️
The nostalgia I experienced while watching this ahhhhhh, I love it so much! I wish I had kept mine, I gave them all to my little neighbor and she then gave them recently to her little cousin. So I'm honestly just glad they've served their purpose for so long ❤️❤️❤️ Bratz was definitely an amazing era!!!! Thanks for this awesome video!!
No one.
Izabella: making our day a trillion times better!💗
Love from a positive Utuber
but it isn’t posted yet
OMG I EEMEBER WATCHING YOU WHEN I WAS LIKE 7- 😭🤚
I'm already so invested in this series!
You brought to light so many emotions about doll collecting as a young person. It makes me want to do the same with mine as they're also stored away. As an adult its hard to know how to properly give them a place in your life as dolls aren't most peoples cup if tea. Sooooo thank you for sharing your journey and as a fellow doll loving adult sending you all the strength needed to take on this amazing project 💜
that joy you had when you realized you were reading a story you made for your bratz dolls reminds me so much of myself !! I remember I’d do the same things , I’d make a doll zoo , make an indoor mall , have my dolls be spys lol i love how dolls are like a creative outlet for your imagination to run wild. I can truly see how passionate you were about playing with your dolls and it’s heartwarming
I already love this little series you're doing. I remember watching your old bratz videos years ago so it's very nostalgic to see you with them again, I can't wait to see you fix them all up💜💜
ah thank you!
I love this series so much! I started watching it because, honestly, I don't think I've ever owned a Bratz doll. I had a lot of Barbie dolls growing up, but I've only played with my friend's Bratz dolls. I plan on going to a huge flea market once this "situation" ends and snatching a few second hand ones so that I can restore them like you are doing in this series. By the way, love your channel
This inspired me to fix my old childhood doll and display them. The memories the gave me. ❤
Honestly thank you for this! It was a great reminder that there is no age limit/restriction with liking & throughout enjoying something.
Just cuz you’re older, doesn’t necessarily mean you have to grow out of something you like.
i was OBSESSED with bratz as a kid, and they were always my go-to when asked what kind of toy i wanted. the games are also super nostalgic. i already see some of the dolls i had growing up, which is hitting kinda different from college lol. looking forward to seeing more of these!!
Aha I did this with my Winx dolls recently! A lot of them were used on Ebay so they came with ratty hair, and I found that soaking the doll's hair (being careful not to get the plastic as it can melt) in really hot, almost boiling water really helped get the shine back and the tangles out. I conditioned and then soaked and let it dry naturally in a warm dry place so as not to get mold.
yazzzzzzzzzzzz! We have missed bratz content so much! I started to follow you back in the bratz days! who else is here since the bratz days! Also I am so exited because I used to have so many bratz my self and I am such a fan too. But I lost all of then in a move when I was a teen. My parents I guess just didn't saw them as important to me. So I live for this! I can see all my old bratz
I really love that you continued to collect even as you got older. And myself being a big ole sentimental softie, it makes me incredibly happy to see all those boxes of memories youve got there kept in such good condition no less 💕
i’m so excited for this series! i love bratz and used to watch your old bratz channel all the time, so i’m so excited to see where this goes!!
This video is so so lovely and bright!💓✨
I feel you! Bratz are the big part of my live so I understand your emotions when you saw them after long long pause. That's overwhelming!!!
I am happy that now you have space for them and desire, and what is the most important - it gives you happiness and good vibes💓💓
Looking forward to seeing next videos!!!!
Wish all the best!
This is so nostalgic to me, my collection was definitely not as big as yours but my love for fashion came from the Bratz dolls, I now have a Fashion Degree
I teared up watching this! I have such special memories playing with my Bratz, Barbies and Polly Pockets when I was young, and this made me miss being a kid and being able to spend the whole afternoon lost in an imaginary world with my dolls! Can't wait to watch the rest of this series ❤️
I'm litterally so fawkin excited
Me and my sister are 25 and 23 and we have loved Bratz dolls since they came in 2001 and we still love them we are so excited for the Bratz comeback in the fall!!!
i know for a fact I am going to love this little series you are doing! I recently found my my little pony collection and organizing and cleaning the dolls and restoring them was so much fun!
The true bratz collectors know this was the right time to release this video because October is their 20th anniversary month.
Ohhhhh i loved Bratz too as a kid and it's not something to be ashamed, they're beautiful memories and i personally loved their styles and hair. I'm 22 now and i will forever love them!!
I know this is an old video, but I just started watching this series and I wanted to share my feelings. I had so many dolls as a kid. I was mostly a barbie girl, but I had many bratz as well. I loved my dolls so much. I won't get into all the details, but my childhood was not a very happy one. Over time, many of my dolls were sold by my mother to fuel her substance addiction. My grandma raised me from 10 years old on, moving me from my parent's home into hers, and I brought the few dolls I had with me. As my life improved, I started reflecting and developing really sour feelings towards the memories connected to my dolls, which eventually drove me to give the remainder of them away. I still love dolls, and since then I've gained a collection of new dolls. But I'll be honest, when I started this video and you began to talk about your history with your dolls, I started to cry. I wish I still had my old collection. I wish I never gave away the few dolls I had left. At the same time, seeing the love you have for your dolls brings me such warmth in my heart. They are such a beautiful and important creative tool for young kids, and those memories are not easily forgotten. So cherish them ☺️
This video makes me so happy!! it’s so cute when you find the story you wrote! I started collecting bratz when I was 17, because I’m from germany I didn’t know them when I was younger. So sadly I don’t have that nostalgia feeling but seeing you and how passionate you are about Bratz makes me so happy 🥰
The Rock Angels game was AMAZING! I have some great memories of playing with Bratz with my little brother 💜 our favorites were Roxy and Phoebe, I had both the original set and the Babiez set that had little plastic removable piggy tails.
I used to have the Yasmin doll at 18:35 in her soccer uniform. That doll was my PRIDE AND JOY! Yasmin was my absolute favourite of them all, and I kept that doll pristine to the day I had to give her up. It broke my heart to let my collection go. Thank you for this video and reminding me how much I adored these dolls.
this video is absolutely amazing!! there is something so special about watching people take care of the things they love :)
Omg the nostalgia is real !! I LOVED bratz and barbie!! Can’t wait to watch the series! 😘
Watching you go through your dolls and seeing the waves of nostalgia go through you is very heartwarming. It makes me wish I had kept my barbie collection from when I was younger 😭
As someone who played with bratz way past the normal age and still really watch the movies I’m so excited for this series
Ooh I'm a collector also and I love organising and just the thought of cleaning and styling all these dolls gives me the tingles! 😍😍
Omggggg!!! Right when I think I couldn’t love you or your channel any more than I already do... you give us this!!! Love you so much!! SO EXCITED! ❤️❤️
thank you!!
this video is just so sweet like i have no words to describe how warm this made me feel inside, it’s just very wholesome 🥺♥️
I subbed to you for your Bratz videos years ago, I came to get really invested in your hair journey too, but I’m so excited for this Bratz series! 😀
I started thinking "wtf?", but when I saw all the dolls, I did not want the video to end. It's definitely a trip down from memorylane, and i love it!
As someone who had like 80 Barbies, I strongly relate 😍 such a beautiful collection ❤️(my parent threw all my dolls and their accessories out when I was 15 and moved to my grandparents 😔)
Hence I have hidden mine in various boxes, so that even if one box is thrown out I still have the rest lol
Starrin n' Stylin will ALWAYS be my fave!! I'm 24 still proudly love and collect bratz :D
The way i am just watching you sort your bratz collection i am hooked! Love your editing and how much effort you put into this. 💕
thank you!
I started watching you when you were still making Bratz videos, soooo many years ago omg. So this makes me SO happy to see a Bratz video from you 😭❤❤
Dear Isabella,
You have such incredibly warm personality and watching this video made me happy, even though I never was interested in Bratz. I definitely want to see what you end up doing with your collection.
I'm so excited ,I'm hoping to get lots of restoring tips.I love bratz and monster high.
Im crying right now. I love this soooo much❤ Im sooo happy that you still post😁😁
This hit me on a personal level, Being called “childish” by most of the people I knew was something I too went through. But because I embraced what I loved, I was able to meet my closest friend. We’ve been friends for the past 10 years! and it all started because of one shared passion, Littlest Pet Shop 💖
Thank you for sharing this video, I can’t wait to watch the rest of this series💕
Yesss gurl im buckling down for this series soooo excited we're getting content other than your hair series!
I LOVED bratz!! I watched all their movies and played their games online. I was obsessed with them. I can't wait for your next episode!
The way you said "we're going to get you cleaned up" makes me want to cry like a baby it's so sweet. It's clear that you really care about these dolls and I'm excited to see you continue to restore them!
I love Bratz !!!!! So glad you collected them and didn’t throw them away
This was such a wonderful video to watch! I was so excited when you uploaded it because as I’ve already said, it was your Bratz channel that I started following you on that lead me to here 4 years ago or something crazy like that. I really missed your Bratz content and you bet I’ll be tuning in for the rest of the episodes! 😁 (also I have so much of that same stuff, hehe.)
I’m so happy that you are back!
I really love your content on this channel! 🥺💗
So excited for this series! You were one of the people that got me back into collecting bratz! Haven't looked back since (rip bank account) 💕💕
Isabella, your hair looks amazing! Fighting!
I seriously loved this video. We’re similar ages and I too grew up with brats and still played with them up until high school. I love dolls so much that as an adult I’m a ball-jointed doll collector. This video is so validating and I’m so excited for the rest of the series! I subbed!
Yay you've posted about bratz again! I loved your old channel 😇 im a collector too, since I was little I loved everything bratz
I never rezally played with dolls as a kid, except for my one bratz doll. She was the coolest!
It's really nice to see you so excited about the bratz and that you care for them somuch. Didn't really think I'd every watch a video like this, but I enjoyed it thoroughly and I'm looking forward to the next episode.
I can't wait to see your Bratz collection beautifully restored!
I'm totally new to your channel but you seem so sweet and friendly; the passion you show for your collection is so inspiring and makes me wanna reorganise my collection too !!!
i got a little emotional myself watching this. I had some Bratz, Barbie, LPS and stuffed animals that my dad ended up donating to goodwill without my permission. Including things that social workers gave me from my adoption. There is always something special about your toys as a child and even though all of mine are gone, I am glad someone else can look back at their things and feel those good innocent memories coming back.
I never collected Bratz but your collection is amazing and it is great to watch you handle them. I am also relieved to hear that I am not the only one finding mildew or mold in otherwise well stored dolls. It's a little bummer. Keep up the good work!
Never be ashamed to like dolls at teenage hood, bratz dolls are just BEAUTIFUL and amazing! I love seeing other people love dolls!
i never had bratz dolls as a child and i just started collecting them only have 4 for now just seeing you open them and being so happy makes me feel happy💓
I'm literally living for videos like these
i didnt have many bratz but i was also obsessed, your moviestar chloe reminded me of the movie star chloe i had and it brought back fond memories. this is lovely, thank you.
I’m so excited to see you talking about bratz again ❤️ as a bratz collector myself it was always so fun watching your videos
aw yay! xx
A NEW BRATZ VIDEO IM CRYINNGGGGG ur old videos are my childhood 🥺
This video reminded me so much of myself with my winx and bratz dolls The memories all came back to me 😍 I loved every second of your video 💖
So excited for the next episode, always loved your bratz content 😍😍😍
