blkwonderwoman:pardonmewhileipanic:mellopetitone:teastars:pureandthimble:Please Vote Here!Hey everyone! I was asked to design and sew a custom Itty Bitty for Hallmark, and my design is now up for vote! I would really, really appreciate your support. The Itty Bitty with the most votes will be put into production and sold, which is a huge dream of mine.It’s important to me that every kid who walks into a toy store is able to find something that is representative of/relatable to them, and this is my small effort into making that a reality.You can vote once a day for one design per device (phone, tablet, computer, etc) which is a really, really difficult choice, (I love so many of them!) for the next 16 days, and I would love your support to make my mermaid dreams come true.There are no bonuses or incentives for winning except that little kids (and big kids) all over the country would be able to have something I made.Photo credits go to the lovely people at think.make.share.Any kind of signal boost would also be really lovely of you! <3Thank you!PLEASE VOTE for Han’s amazing little mermaid! Not only is she SUPER DUPER CUTE, but diversity really matters - something I personally find really important in children’s toys and media!! You can vote EVERYDAY!Nothing is required to vote. Just go to the site and click to support this awesome toy. SIGNAL BOOSTINGPLEASE HELP VOTE EVERY DAY FOR THISYOU DON’T HAVE TO SIGN UP OR DO ANYTHINGJUST CLICKwe can’t let this beautiful toy (642 votes)lose to this piece of crap (1,986 votes)The shitty cop ittybitty has 30k votes, please votes for the pretty black mermaid she only has 14k!!!The mermaid is losing again! She had the lead last night but she is losing!The cop is not even that well made (if you were to choose one besides the mermaid both the flower and the circus characters are more solidly made designs, and the Japanese top is way more creative). The mermaid has alternating sequin patterns, beading, hair, and the tail!This contest they’re using this base. That cop’s mouth is drawn on, not even sewn. Nothing was done to change the color of the base or add a skintone (this is the only entry where the base doll is left unaltered! and merely given clothes!) I’m not saying this to dismiss the work of the person who made the cop doll, because their work should be applauded. It’s always great when you make something. But there’s a clear difference in skill and quality between the cop doll and the mermaid, or honestly most of the other entries. The cop doll is winning because it’s a cop, not because it’s a well made doll. It’s winning to serve the idealogical interests of adults voting and not actual children who might want to pick out a doll for themselves to play. Please vote for the mermaid! -- source link
