I have a complicated and long-term history with My Twinn dolls at this point, which isn't something I would have predicted ten years ago. In March of 2013, I purchased and reviewed my very first My Twinns. I had a decent opinion of the dolls back then, but a lot of that had to do with the fact that I found them on a great sale. I didn't learn much about the history of the brand during that review, nor about the wide range in quality. My deep dive came a few years later in 2016, when I started the My Twinn Project series. In those posts, I chronicled my experience with fixing up old, high-quality Denver-era My Twinns, which are much nicer than the dolls I bought in 2013.
My passion for fixing up My Twinns escalated quickly after that, and the dolls started to make more frequent appearances here on the blog...and also started to fill up my house. I became obsessed with seeking out old dolls with rare faces and skin tones, and the more beat-up they were, the better! When I decided to take a break from reviewing dolls in 2018, I continued to work on the My Twinns, and even started a separate blog, The My Twin Project Shop, to chronicle my endeavors. That blog kept me connected to the online doll world, and the dolls gave me a creative outlet and escape during the early, dark days of the pandemic. It was a bit of a lifeline, frankly.
One of the hardest things about starting this blog up again has been that I no longer have much time to work on My Twinns. Worse yet, I stopped doing Twinn makeovers before I'd even finished a princess series that was a lot of fun! So, today I decided to share an overview of my princess project with all of you, and present the last two dolls in the group: the Cinderellas.
