Hey dolls,
Happy Thursday and Merry Christmas! We’re about to sign off for the festive season, but before we go, we’ve got one last Dollhouse drop of the year for you. From a festive piece on Christmas sartorial choices in movies, to a roundup of 2023 in TikTok’s White Boys of the Month, there’s something for everyone!
We also want to take this opportunity to thank all of our Dollhouse members for your support over the course of 2023 – we are so grateful to have you all and can’t wait to keep bringing you the best of URL meets IRL culture in 2024. For now, though, here are a final few Christmas gifts from us:
