The handwoven bag is CRAZY, not to mention giving chi chi a real afro so you can then braid her hair for real. The dedication on display was so captivating.

[sandycheekseva]

She even followed the rule of starting to braid in the back because your first braids always look crazy! THIS is representation folks! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[celissityclark]

as a black woman, you did excellent on her hair. I'm so proud of you for researching and getting the best understanding possible. you even made a solid effort to match our physical features and what styles are trending in our community. you did amazing young lady.

Now this is a creator that LOVES black women!! She brushed out the yarn!! She CURLED THE ENDS! The attention to detail and genuine love put into this doll brought me to tears. So proud of you for this one, girl. Keep up the love

My head cannon for these girls is that they run a popular little tiki bar together somewhere in the tropics

[mahilagoncam]

In Spanish "Chi-Chi" means boobs so as a latina I couldn't stop laughing when you did the bodey modifications 😂😂😂😳😳😳

[slideforsanrio]

girl twitter is going CRAZYYYY for this doll and her wonderful box braids! you have NEVER DISAPPOINTED US

[ebonidoesart]

As a black woman, you did GREAT for the box braids! You truly did them justice, and did so respectfully! I absolutely love it

[infidel]

I cannot get over the fact that she actually braided the doll's hair like she was at an appointment LOL

The fact she even gave the doll 4c hair and edges was sending me - she looked just like me before I get my own hair braided XD

Loved everything about this doll!

[lalalafal]

I am a black woman and I have been watching you for years. I really appreciate that you took the time to braid out each box braid. Your artistry really shows and the doll is beyond beautiful.

[sybillapan]

My jaw dropped when you crafted a real afro for the doll and then braided it!!! The dedication is just amazing!!! Every detail of Chichi came out super cute 🩷💜💙

[HeXtian]

omg this is so incredible katherine! another amazing doll!! i can't wait to see moreeee~ 👏🏻💕

[chillingwithmani]

As a black girl who doesn’t get to see black customized dolls with “black hairstyles” often this warms my heart I’ve been watching your channel since forever and you have always done right by your black character right 😭

[notBlushyVen]

the fact that you LITERALLY box-braided the hair brings me to tears. seeing people take the time to accurately represent us as black people brings me so much joy and appreciation.

[crayonboxcolors]

i absolutely love that you took the time to braid out every single section and made sure that it was blending the line between your own cartoon style and the realism that's required to pull off a hairstyle like that. it looks so good and really means a lot to the people of color watching you.

[Rany_dyz]

I love the how far she goes for her dolls! From making an afro for the braids to grip onto to HAND MAKING A TINY WOVEN BAG

she never fails to impress 😎🫶

[Kay-KatRainbow]

I am not black but seeing all the positive feedback from black people in the comments about the braids is so wholesome to me. I might be reading all the comments for hours.

[darkroselight]

Of course Tamara's hair counts. Box cake mix still makes cake. It doesn't have to be 100% handmade to count. Everyone needs help sometimes and being able to use a pre-braided hair makes it more accessible to someone with low hand dexterity who might not be able to braid at this scale. Chi Chi is so cute! I love this whole trio.

[SinmiDtoir]

I adore it when she completes a portion of the doll or clothing and then exclaims over how adorable it is. That's what all artists ought to strive to be more like!

[saschalevi]

I love how all three dolls are clearly different ages. Like, Chi Chi is a rebellious 16 year old, Mai Tai is her older, early to mid 20s sister, and Margarita is their 40-something rich aunt taking them on a summer beach getaway while Chi Chi is on summer break. I love these three so much!
