Honestly I had kind of a love hate relationship with this channel. I was in late elementary school early middle school. Not only was I becoming an “older kid” but also as a male I felt so shameful of watching this channel and wanting dolls . But now as an 18 year old, who finally decided to live his truth and collect dolls for myself, I’m really lucky for this channel for giving me the edge to do that.
My guess is that the companies don’t send you the dolls because you give an actual critical review. The other TH-camrs that I see who receive these dolls for free typically just gush about the product even when it’s garbage. I appreciate your honesty even more because I know it is costing you in this way.
Melissa, I started watching you and Kaiden when my older daughter was about 3, and I’ve never stopped. She had just gotten into watching toy review videos, and she introduced me to your channel. When my second came along and was old enough to like TH-cam she joined in too. They’re 10 and 6 now. My 6 year old will still watch with me, but I will watch you even if I’m alone. You have made such a positive impact on me. I’m an adult doll lover, but I also watch for your personality. I feel like I’m hanging out with a friend. Your videos and openness have helped me get through some rough times when I’ve struggled with mental health issues. I’ve cried with you when you’ve shared about your own, and I always laugh with you. I could be having a really hard time and watching your videos will calm me down and bring me joy. And I’m old enough to get your jokes when you say “who’s old enough to remember...” 😎 I cannot thank you enough for all you have done by being a positive, safe place on TH-cam for the kids who grew up with your channel (especially kids in the LGBTQIA+ community) and people like me, adults who will never be too old for dolls. I feel like if we knew each other in real life, we’d be friends. Congratulations on 9 years!!! 🎉
No thank you for everything! My mom also has MS so seeing another kid and with there mom who also had MS ment alot to me. I have pictures of myself from 2015 watching your old videos! You both truly made an impact on my childhood that I will never forget! It definitely is bittersweet since the channel isnt what it used to be, but I still enjoy sitting down after a long day and listening to you talk about dolls! You made my love for monster high grow, the thing that made me a doll collector, and introduced me to rainbow high, the thing that got me back into doll collecting. This channel will always have a special place in my heart and I cant wait to see what the futer holds!
I honestly can’t believe it’s been 9 years! I watched you guys so much when I was younger. So many good memories! I even still quote “and she’s out of the box!” whenever I open a new doll. Wish you all nothing but the best and thanks for a great 9 years!
Happy 9 Years!! Thanks for being here with us the whole time too! Quite frankly, I think TH-cam in general has been a learning curve for all of us over the years haha. I'm just glad we can cherish this corner of the internet together. Cheers to many more! 🤗💌
To me you are my sister from another mister as I am 48 and still love dolls. What I love about you is your honesty, there are some other TH-camrs who I am sure do not believe what they are saying when some of what they are reviewing are not great. You on the other hand point out the positives but also do not hide your disappointment in something. You I trust and that is why I subscribe to you and not some of the other ones. Never change and I have fond memories of an episode when some woman texted Kaiden some random comment and it all went off from there. I loved that one, so sending you all hugs from the UK and hope that you are all well.
You just being you makes me happy. While I definitely no longer play with my Barbies, I love ALL of your energy and I love all of the listening to you. I love seeing you not being ashamed of your age and your love. And that's so great. I'm excited to keep watching.
I remember coming home from school and hopping on the family computer to watch you and Kaiden hunt for dolls and talk about dolls, it's always a fond memory.
I've been watching you since around 2013, i was still a young little gay kid still figuring out who i was but collecting dolls and watching doll review channels was a form of escape from reality for me. My mom and i would watch your videos with Kaiden everyday!! Now i'm a 22 yr old trans woman and happy to say i'm still here. I still collect dolls and non-doll related toys but i no longer showcase them on my doll photography account. I feel for you and Kaiden as someone who is also trans and as well as having some health issues. And i hope he's doing well today, a lot of people including myself miss him so much and we hope we get to see him again someday but for now, we're just happy to know he's doing alright! Love lots, to you and Kaiden. ❤
Melissa, I just wanna say, you are an amazing doll salesperson. You’ve convinced me to buy a lot of dolls that I otherwise would not have gotten. Barbie extra, colour reveal (not the extra disappointing ones), LOL OMG, failfix dolls... I love watching you and your (at times clumsy) positive energy. Keep it up!!! ❤️❤️
You are one of he first toy channels I started watching. I was so excited to meet you and Kaden (sorry if the spelling is wrong) at the first PlayFair and I’m still playing with dolls to this day. You have inspired me so much to keep going and I hope to watch you for many years to come
Hi Mommy! I know you normally do dolls. I don’t know when this came out, but there is a Just Play Llamacorn Surprise. I thought it would something cool for you to check out!
I miss kaiden, but I really love your content too, changes are good, and you have a big heart to continued here give us good vibes, share your dolls and your supportive words, as a kid who love dolls and sadly forced to grown really faster to survive in a world who never be to easy your channel, your videos playing with kaiden and now still having fun with dolls really helpme to never forget that the things i love are important and not stupid or shameles no matter what are . thanks you for be here and all your hard work!!
9 years! Wow! I can’t believe I watched you grow! And even help me grow! I was 10 when I first watched you and Kayden and idk when I came back watching your channel. Bc I think my interest definitely changed during my teen years. Life happens. But I came back/always kept up with you and the other og dolls channels and I’m glad your still going strong! I was happy then and I’m still happy. It’s comforting to see you grow and me growing too and even relating more to you now that I’m an adult now haha. Being a young introverted black gay boy watching dolls videos it’s always been a secret and no ones knows still but i related to you and Kayden even more now even though, even if he’s not present I know the joy you had and still have. It’s beautiful and help me become myself and continue to grow. Thank you isnt enough but I know this is all I can do! Blessing you too always!🧡🧡
I don’t believe I ever watched your channel while your son was a part of it sadly. I wish I had found your channel a longgggg time ago though tbh. I absolutely love how cozy and safe it feels here and I find your rambles and stories endearing ☺️
Gurl your videos are AMAZING the " when you get older you never need to grow up" thing touched my heart! I am a starter adult doll collector and its so incredible to see people like me that likes children stuff like me! Dolls are my therapy!!! THANK YOU for being so supportive Melissa!!
I remember watching you guys when I was suoer young, it never dawned on me why I loved yours and kaidens videos so much. but I've realized it was because I related so so much to your son's personality, it gave me someone to relate to and I'm so happy that Kaiden grew up and that you guys have grown together, thank you guys
I love your channel and besides the dolls, I really enjoy your talks and how open-minded, kind, and gracious you are. Tiny thing - not meant as a criticism - but as educational... But it's considered taboo to use the phrase "spirit animal" these days if you're not an indigenous person. Anyway, you are amazing and I love watching you to unwind and get the latest doll news. I'm an adult collector who started collecting because of your channel and I love that there's a space for people like me. So thank you for that! x
I only found this channel at the end of last year but it still is a special channel, my friend reccomended you to me when I said I wanted to collect dolls bc she watched you growing up. I love this channel, it helps me a lot in choosing if I want to buy a doll or not.
Hi Melissa, I’ve been watching your channel for about seven years now. I just wanted to say thank you for all the the reviews and Joy that you have brought to all of us. Also thank you for sharing your journey with MS! I have cerebral palsy you inspired me to keep smiling and pushing through the difficult times. Yours is one of the channels that encourage me to embrace my love of dolls as an adult collector! Thank you again to you and Kayden!! Can’t wait for more of your amazing videos!! ❤️
Ive been collecting dolls for 3 years but ive been struggling alot to collect the dolls that i want its alot of money that i would need however iaint giving up i will keep fighting for what i want. Thats how it should be i believe
Happy Anniversary! I'm probably in the minority, but I've found your channel after Kaiden left, so for me it's always been this way, and I love it the way it is! For me, it's not only about the dolls, but also largely about your thoughts and advice. I'm not a young person myself, but I still learn a lot from you, your videos are often therapeutic for me. So thank you, and I hope you will get a million subscribers and a lot of free stuff from doll companies, because you really deserve it🤩 Oh, and the doll is adorable. I thought I'd hate the faux fur sleeves, but I actually like them now. And the pet is definitely an improvement, so cute! Can't wait for these dolls to hit the stores in my home country.
THIS CHANNEL IS FREAKING UNSTOPPABLE! DON’T STOP! I sat down with some dinner tonight to watch and had no idea the episode was gonna’ get heavy! I love this channel and it’s because of you! Keep ‘em coming and you’re a superstar mom so don’t fret!
Happy Aniv!!!!! I think every conscious parent looks back at their parenting and can find ways they might have been better. But, really, we're all doing the best we can. Even parents have needs sometimes. If we talk with our adult kids about our reggrets or foibles from then, my experience is, they usually understand and forgive. We never stop growing up as a family. 😁♥️
When I started watching this it was you and Gracie who is now kaiden and I remember some of those older videos and I'm glad I found you again because of my doll thing and even though I'm not collecting dolls anymore(rip) I still love watching you because it makes my day
Yey, congrats to the 9th year. You're the reason why I started collecting monster high dolls back in 2015 when I watched your doll hunting videos. It was amazing.
Happy Anniversary! I only started watching your channel at the beginning of this year, when I got back into doll collecting after a twenty-year absence. I watch a lot of doll reviews, and I think your style is a unique and endearing mix of review and varied commentary. I really hope you hit that 1 million subscriber mark well before your 60th birthday.
I went back to binge your old videos. I was sad to see so many private and then I remembered you’re a dragon mom. Sad about the missed content, happy for the reason.
It sounds like a lot but you don't purchase everything at once and there are bound to be a few items you do not buy. But lord, I would hate to see the total on my book and manga spending. Lol Congrats on your youtube anniversary!!! Glad to have you with us!!
I know I was shamed by my love of dolls from my teen years on. I even tried to be a real honest-to-god collector because that's socially acceptable. After getting treatment for my demon (Dysthymia with a dash of anxiety and paranoia) I adopted your attitude. I only watched you here and there for years, but when your son left and it really became a show by one of peers, I was all over it! I'm a tad older than you (just hit 55) and the others in my apartment complex call me "the Barbie lady". I do miss What The Thrift, though. Anyway... I love you too!
Keydon wanted to start the channel with you rite? And then he a wanted to take a step back and you went solo. I loved the dynamic as you as mom and son but I enjoy you solo...love the show. God Bless.
Hey love kayden tell him he owes nobody no updates. But just let him know his being is very important and kids listen better to other kids. Him just being is important to help others. But also he owes us nothingxx through your videos i feel like you do justice to your son even just the way you carry yourself mama.
Happy Anniversary!!! 🤩 Thank you for all the fun and the great messages every time.. 💗 I’m happy to hear that you’re now doing this in a healthier way for you and your son! Also.. I LOVE this doll and her pet is SO ADORABLE! One of my two favs 🙈💖
Happy Anniversary! ❤ Love your videos, your positive attitude, and how watching you has helped my daughter and I developed our love for dolls together.
Happy 9th anniversary! You did amazing! I started watching ur video last year and I love it. You are the cool best mom 😎 thank you for sharing your story and show dolls. Keep going! 🤟🏻❤️
Hey Melissa! Unfortunately I didn’t know about your channel back when Kaiden was on it with you, but I am so glad I found your channel now. Honestly I wish I had the relationship I have with my Mom that Kaiden has with you. You are a wonderful Mom and all of us in LGBTQ community are lucky to have you! Lots of love!
I fell in love with youre channel i freaking love how you make youre videos great actress very real very funny very into what u do #1 doll collector. Channel to watch keep going for those million suscribers wish u the best my lady youre a great person god bless u i believe u really deserverve with all due honesty
i remember first watching you and kaiden back in 2014 or 2015, and im still happy you make videos to this day :) thank u sm for continuing and i really hope kaiden is doing well!!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! i getting older but still like between teen and adult. u made me want to show my passion for dolls! i love ur vids and positive attitude!
I love the leg warmers and black shoes, so cute. I really like how they did blond hair with green eyes, who says blonds always have to have blue eyes? I am also really interested in that new Barbie Extra doll, she has a cat theme and a cat pet (normally I don't care about the pets, but I am a sucker for cats). I have checked Walmart and Target in store and didn't see her there or on their websites at the moment. Is it possible she is a European exclusive? I've seen people in other countries with that doll already. I really hope she is released in the US!
Happy 9 years! You have brought such comfort and happiness and laughs to our lives with your authentic and real content. I have loved watching you for many years and hope many more to come. X
Yet another fantastic review from you. Love your personality and doll enthusiasm. Really want this Barbie. Will be taking the leg warmers off tho as I'm not a fan of them with that outfit. Her face is sooo beautiful and I love her make up and hair. Will be ordering her ASAP 💗
Happy Anniversary! I hope your son finds his joy with something performative again one day. I remember finding your videos years ago and thinking ‘Wow, these two actually speak their minds about these dolls!’. I believe it was your Twyla review.
I can’t believe I been watching you for so long. I been here since 2013! I was just starting middle school and dolls wasn’t “cool” anymore but I didn’t care 😂 that was the year I was really getting into doll videos it started with my froggy stuff and chad Allen and then I found you and Kaiden! I was so happy because it was a mom and kid duo something I wanted me and my mom to be. I was mainly an ag collector but I always wanted monster high dolls (unfortunately that didn’t happen ☹️) by 7th grade my mom wanted me to grow out of dolls and do whatever she thought 7th graders did 😂 BUTTT here I am 19 years old going to college got myself a job for my doll addiction 😂 my mom is very back and forth about me having dolls because she still wanted me to “grow up” but on the other hand she sees how much they make me happy. Sorry for the paragraph but I wanted to just finish off this by saying I love your videos and your commentary and just you being you! ❤️
Hi Melissa I love your videos and your bright personality, I’m just a little bit confused about how fast you change idea about Barbie, like some days is the worst - and we can completely see and agree - but next one the same things are fine. Like a lot of time. What happened? We love you because you always say what you really think
Honestly I had kind of a love hate relationship with this channel. I was in late elementary school early middle school. Not only was I becoming an “older kid” but also as a male I felt so shameful of watching this channel and wanting dolls . But now as an 18 year old, who finally decided to live his truth and collect dolls for myself, I’m really lucky for this channel for giving me the edge to do that.
I love this comment sooooo much. Thank you!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Hun you are a rockstar ♥️
@@luvlyleo2836 aww thank you
That is amazing to hear!! I hope you never have to feel shameful for feeling like your true self again! Keep living your truth!!

My guess is that the companies don’t send you the dolls because you give an actual critical review. The other TH-camrs that I see who receive these dolls for free typically just gush about the product even when it’s garbage. I appreciate your honesty even more because I know it is costing you in this way.

I cannot thank you enough for all you have done by being a positive, safe place on TH-cam for the kids who grew up with your channel (especially kids in the LGBTQIA+ community) and people like me, adults who will never be too old for dolls.

"hanging out with a friend" Couldn't have said it better myself.

Hi love ur vids,u seem like such a positive amazing person!
Q
4:20 "When is she going to open the doll, JUST FAST FORWARD!" made me laugh 😂
You just being you makes me happy. While I definitely no longer play with my Barbies, I love ALL of your energy and I love all of the listening to you. I love seeing you not being ashamed of your age and your love. And that's so great. I'm excited to keep watching.

I love that she has 59 on her jacket. First ever Barbie came out in 1959 I think.

Ooh Melissa this video touched my heart thank you for understanding and thank you for sharing that with us.
I went back to binge your old videos. I was sad to see so many private and then I remembered you’re a dragon mom. Sad about the missed content, happy for the reason.
It sounds like a lot but you don't purchase everything at once and there are bound to be a few items you do not buy. But lord, I would hate to see the total on my book and manga spending. Lol Congrats on your youtube anniversary!!! Glad to have you with us!!
I know I was shamed by my love of dolls from my teen years on. I even tried to be a real honest-to-god collector because that's socially acceptable. After getting treatment for my demon (Dysthymia with a dash of anxiety and paranoia) I adopted your attitude. I only watched you here and there for years, but when your son left and it really became a show by one of peers, I was all over it! I'm a tad older than you (just hit 55) and the others in my apartment complex call me "the Barbie lady". I do miss What The Thrift, though. Anyway... I love you too!

Keydon wanted to start the channel with you rite? And then he a wanted to take a step back and you went solo. I loved the dynamic as you as mom and son but I enjoy you solo...love the show. God Bless.
Found this when i was around 13/14 then abandoned that youtube account and forgot about collecting dolls. i turned 19 and found this channel again
Happy 9th Anniversary Mommyy!! Here's to at least 19 more! ILYSM! 🤗❤💕
I saw the new barbie extra doll that you were talking about at the front of the video I saw here in Walmart she is so cool
You look so stunning today
You are an AMAZING HUMAN! I love your evolution 💛💛
Hey love kayden tell him he owes nobody no updates. But just let him know his being is very important and kids listen better to other kids. Him just being is important to help others. But also he owes us nothingxx through your videos i feel like you do justice to your son even just the way you carry yourself mama.
You need hugs. *MEGA HUGS* from England.
Happy Anniversary!!! 🤩 Thank you for all the fun and the great messages every time.. 💗 I’m happy to hear that you’re now doing this in a healthier way for you and your son! Also.. I LOVE this doll and her pet is SO ADORABLE! One of my two favs 🙈💖

Hey Melissa! Unfortunately I didn’t know about your channel back when Kaiden was on it with you, but I am so glad I found your channel now. Honestly I wish I had the relationship I have with my Mom that Kaiden has with you. You are a wonderful Mom and all of us in LGBTQ community are lucky to have you! Lots of love!

You almost made me cry at the beginning
Happy 9th anniversary,keep up the great work Melissa 💗your channel.
Congratulations! 9 years, I’m a couple of years in 😊
I love the leg warmers and black shoes, so cute. I really like how they did blond hair with green eyes, who says blonds always have to have blue eyes? I am also really interested in that new Barbie Extra doll, she has a cat theme and a cat pet (normally I don't care about the pets, but I am a sucker for cats). I have checked Walmart and Target in store and didn't see her there or on their websites at the moment. Is it possible she is a European exclusive? I've seen people in other countries with that doll already. I really hope she is released in the US!
Happy 9 years! You have brought such comfort and happiness and laughs to our lives with your authentic and real content. I have loved watching you for many years and hope many more to come. X
Happy 9 years! I absolutely love this doll. Out of all the Barbie extra dolls, she's definitely the one I actually want🤩
Yet another fantastic review from you. Love your personality and doll enthusiasm. Really want this Barbie. Will be taking the leg warmers off tho as I'm not a fan of them with that outfit. Her face is sooo beautiful and I love her make up and hair. Will be ordering her ASAP 💗
Happy 9th Anniversary I have two girls and we love watching your videos 😍 God Bless ❤️
🙌🔥amazing
Спасибо за видео
Happy Anniversary! I hope your son finds his joy with something performative again one day. I remember finding your videos years ago and thinking ‘Wow, these two actually speak their minds about these dolls!’. I believe it was your Twyla review.
YOU CAN AND WILL HIT ONE MILLION SUBSCRIBERS!! I believe in you💟
I love to do what you do .Having autism I still love dolls
Thank you!!💖💖💖💖
I can’t believe I been watching you for so long. I been here since 2013! I was just starting middle school and dolls wasn’t “cool” anymore but I didn’t care 😂 that was the year I was really getting into doll videos it started with my froggy stuff and chad Allen and then I found you and Kaiden! I was so happy because it was a mom and kid duo something I wanted me and my mom to be. I was mainly an ag collector but I always wanted monster high dolls (unfortunately that didn’t happen ☹️) by 7th grade my mom wanted me to grow out of dolls and do whatever she thought 7th graders did 😂 BUTTT here I am 19 years old going to college got myself a job for my doll addiction 😂 my mom is very back and forth about me having dolls because she still wanted me to “grow up” but on the other hand she sees how much they make me happy. Sorry for the paragraph but I wanted to just finish off this by saying I love your videos and your commentary and just you being you! ❤️
I’ve been watching your channel since I was 13 - I’m 22 now!
OmG I'm early for the first time!!
- BTW Barbie Extra #6 and #8 is my fave
I was 9 years old when I first so your channel now I'm 20 years old
Happy 9th Anniversary of your channel! it makes my day alot betterb when i see you post a new video.
Hi Melissa I love your videos and your bright personality, I’m just a little bit confused about how fast you change idea about Barbie, like some days is the worst - and we can completely see and agree - but next one the same things are fine. Like a lot of time. What happened? We love you because you always say what you really think
i love this channel so much! thank you for being so honest
Happy anniversary to you and kaiden
Thank you You are an inspiration
happy
Been watching you for around 8 months! 💞
