Dolls Around Town (photo themed scavanger hunt)

Dec 5, 2009

    1. I've noticed in this hobby, there are a few brave souls who take their dolls everywhere - mall, parks, school - and there are more souls who wish they had the courage. In this game, you must take pictures of your dolls in public places (or any place outside your home). I am hoping that the participants will be encouraged to bring their dolls to public settings, and thus raise public awareness of our wonderful little hobby. Besides, when questioned about your doll, you have the perfect excuse: "it's part of a game."

      Rules:

      1) The first person will post a picture of a doll in a public setting, then request the next setting. The following person must get a picture of their doll in the requested setting, then give the next location, and so on.

      2) The settings requested must be outside your home. They can be as general (a doll shopping) or specific (a doll in Target) as you like.

      Have fun!

      I will start the game. This is Dominic and friends in a move theater.

      For the next location, we would like to see a doll in a shopping mall.
