Hello! :)

May 11, 2025

    1. Hey everyone, I’m Brynn. I’m in my mid 20’s and from the West Coast! I decided to make an account here after recently finally being able to start collecting bjds! I’ve admired them since I was 11 years old. I remember browsing the Dream of Doll website for hours (rip), just fascinated by it. Seeing Black Elf Ducan changed the trajectory of my life fr.

      I’ve always been a doll collector. Even when I was really little I saw my Bratz and Barbies as collecter’s items that should be taken care of lol. So when I found BJD’s I was instantly obsessed as they weren’t like anything I’d seen before at the time. However I didn’t have the means to actually get one until very recently thanks to having a job and the convenience of ordering from DDE, lol.

      I own two bjds currently:
      Doll Leaves Camilla
      Dream Valley Rita, human ver.
      and a Resinsoul Rong body.

      Camilla has a faceup by me, (she’s the one in my avatar) and Rita is still blank. I plan on continuing to do all my own faceups, as well as sewing their clothes and making wigs! My wishlist at the moment includes Angell Studio’s 10th anniversary Claudia, and Maskcat’s Lisette and Astrid. And of course Elf Ducan but I doubt that will happen lol.

      I love antiques, lolita fashion, historical fashion, and anything fantasy related, especially vampires. Seriously, I love getting recommendations for more vampire media I can consume, it’s an obsession.
