Trolls
On this day in 2016 the movie Trolls was released here in the U.S., so I figure now is as good a time as any to wear this bow.
This one showed up in the Wrong Box from AdorasBowsStore last summer. The flash caught on the bottle cap bit, so here's a better look at the center.
Princess Poppy, who made several appearances this past Halloween.
Sigh...these Trolls are a LOT different from the ones I collected as a kid. Between the Cabbage Patch craze and the Beanie Baby bonanza there were trolls. Mama called 'em Wishniks because that was what they were called during her youth, but I knew 'em as trolls. I had one in just about every color and just about every size. I had Treasure Trolls, Magic Trolls, generic trolls with no special gimmick, and the guardians of my fleet, two Battle Trolls. LOL, yeah, Battle Trolls probably the most ridiculous of them all, but they were a thing. Battle Trolls were geared towards boys, but I liked 'em too. Since Nunchuck Troll and Trollaf were pretty badass I had to give them a stern talking to, but after that they promised to behave and guard the other trolls from the giant spider lurking in my corner and from whatever monster I pretended was under my bed. The girls went to the beauty shop that Daddy generously got me for Christmas, and much fun was had. LOL, I look back on it now and think about how goofy it was, but I had fun. Since trolls had few moving parts my sister (who was very, very little then) could play too...but I was a selfish little sh!t and rarely let her.
Pretty far cry from modern-day Trolls, and particularly far from the Trollz, which had a brief run during my adolescence. Onyx was my favorite since she was the punk of the group, LOL. I didn't learn until much, much later that the Trollz were hideously unpopular, but I did notice that they weren't around for long so that should've clued me in.
Troll hugs,
