Meme: Some confession sharing?

I feel this one pretty hard. Six months waiting for a doll to be made? No big deal. Five days in transit? Nervous wreck!

And so I'm not just piggy-backing, my other confession: For 2014, my New Year's resolution was to stick to a set monthly doll budget. There was not one month last year that I actually stuck to that budget. Not one.

 

I don't like having faceless dolls! But no money to get them done...

I'd like a Leonard doll from the Big Bang Theory...but won't do it.

I'd like to sell most of the crew but when I look at most of them...I can't!

 

Oh my gosh yes. We should be friends haha. Adding a confession of my own, there wasn't a month last year that I wasn't waiting on a doll from Soom. I was not planning to buy so many dolls, but their new SOs are my weakness. Whoops!

 

Dangerous combination haha drunken enablers! Lol

 

So many confessions that resound with me too. OTL

Anyway, I have some to make: I like browsing the marketplace even though I have no intention to buy a doll at the moment. And then I feel like 'saving' all of them. *lol* Fortunately, having no money in the bank is stopping me. XD

Sometimes I feel like selling my first doll because I seldom play with him, but then when I actually take him out, I just can't bear to do it. ^^;

 

I am a dolly hoarder. I have so many that when a new doll comes , it takes half the day to rearrange the house to find a spot for him.

 

I actually have no idea what I've named... at least half of my dolls. I can, 99% of the time, name their sculpt, but as to the... name... I've, at some point, given them? Nope. Wouldn't have a clue - and if it wasn't for the fact I'm actually quite dedicated to keeping my DoA profile up to date, I'd never, ever be able to remember them on my own either...

I also have a couple that don't even have names, and... well... I kind of don't even have the inclination to rectify this.

Oops.

 

I guess my confession is that I don't do much with my dolls (Unless absolutely everyone is out of the house) I have spates where I will sew and sew and sew but mostly the sit on their shelf looking pretty and canoodling one another. (there's not really enough space up there).

 

Ok, here's one. I'm thinking of getting a new body for my SD boy because I can't stand his current body's nipples. He poses fine and the resin match is great but those dang button nipples. They look like little googly eyes that someone glued onto the chest and airbrushed to match the resin color.

 

I confess that there are certain sculpts with smiles that creep me out to the point I will actually avoid looking at photos of them, even though there are other smiling dolls I like just fine.
There are also several companies whose style I don't get the appeal of, but I'm sure that's true for most or all of us.

But the one I really wanted to say is - I'm still seriously tempted, every time I see a sculpt that reminds me of them, to shell a pair of characters from an anime I loved years ago, even though I've sworn all along that I would only spend that kind of money on my own OCs.

 

I confess that whenever I see Ringdoll's Air Force Wolf I feel a strong need to buy one... even though I already own the doll . This happens very frequently and I fear that if the full set ever shows up on the marketplace my wallet will be doomed

I also confess that the first time I saw this doll I said to myself "he is very cool but not for me and I will not buy one"... I was wong

 

I can tell you the names of the dolls...but sometimes forget the mold!

 

I dont like putting a girl doll next to my boys..
I dont want my boys to be by a beautiful girl so they dont see how old and ugly I am.
whoooo that is stupid in written words but atleast they love me

another fear is that I die and my family donates my dolls to goodwill or some other thrift stores

 

Me too! I'll also purposely order at friends' houses so they'll enable me to buy!! Then I don't feel so bad ordering another doll!

Some others of mine:
I treat other people's dolls a thousand times better than my own. And I'll do the faceups on my dolls in the worst weather (rain, sleet, windstorm, snow....) then complain when they don't last or get ruined while I'm doing them...

I have a handful of dolls that would break my heart to lose, the rest are totally expendable.

I also read the bad transactions for the drama - I actually read a lot of threads for the drama....because I'm usually at work and bored.

I buy new dolls just because I want to try a new faceup or style on them and don't want to mess with the ones I already have - I am waiting on a MNM for that exact reason right now, and have spent quite a bit on a wardrobe for this thing, and it's not even here yet.

I have never forgotten any of my dolls - not their names, or molds, or anything - until last year: I won a Doll Family tiny in a faceup contest, put it on my shelf and totally forgot I owned it until a month or so later when I saw similar online and was all "Oh my god. I have one of those." *shame*

 

I am now scared to take my BJD's outside to photograph them after my Breccia fell out of a tree and broke her fingers and another doll scuffed it's face-up! I love outdoor shoots but can't seem to get myself to do one. So traumatizing!

Oh and I read Problem Transactions threads too! I'm glad I'm not alone!

 

For one of my classes, I did a presentation about BJD's and brought my dolls in. Morgan fell off the table and took Alma, Chalco and maybe a few others down with him (nobody was hurt, thank goodness!). He is obviously an inanimate object, but he totally fell over because he's an unruly little trash baby and wanted to make some drama.

 

Both of these could very well be my own confessions, too.


I know my dolls are inanimate objects, but sometimes I talk to certain ones as if they can really hear me.

One of my guilty pleasures is to put one of my dolls in my bed with me when I go to sleep. I can only do this when my dog is at my dad's house for her "access visit" because I'm afraid she'd kick them out of the bed at night if I did it when she was at home.

I like to cuddle my dolls.

I'm guilty of what many doll owners would probably call "irresponsible behaviour" with my dolls. I love interesting photos, and so my dolls have been up in trees, perched on tall objects, placed in real water (including the ocean), and touched by real food (including caramel pudding).

 

Confession: When I first got my very first BJD, I tried squishing his face; thinking that it will be squished like barbie's face :p *Guilty ^^''' I feel silly now :p

 

eleniel Or go out and buy a bunch of "It's a girl" streamers. Guaranteed good results.

I have another one: I've been awfully tempted to start buying floating heads. But I know once I have them I'll want bodies and then that'll be a whole can of financial worms I'm not sure I want to get into.

 

I'm a lazy dollie owner. Chulyen, Qwill and Hannah desperately need to be restrung, but I've been too lazy to order the string and do it. Qwill's is the worst, he's almost as floppy as a ragdoll. What's weird is I kinda like it, makes him cuddlier. It's really bad, though. I keep expecting to come home one day and find him in pieces.

Pepper's needed a faceup for months now, and I haven't gotten around to it. I also want new faceups on Leo and Mattie to better match their characters, but haven't gotten around to those, either. Though Roane has a big chip under his lower lip that's pretty obvious I've delayed getting his faceup redone. The faceup delays are partially due to currently being broke, and partially to being indecisive about who to commission, but a larger part is straight up laziness.

I read the Problem Transaction threads too, to know who to avoid doing business with. The drama is a side benefit, admittedly an entertaining one.

I do have a favorite, Chulyen, but don't mind admitting that. One thing I don't like admitting is that I sometimes go through phases where I actually dislike some of my dolls. I'll think about selling them, but various things stop me like laziness (I'm seeing a trend here), or fear of finding myself dealing with some crazy buyer or scammer (thanks, Problem Transactions!). Whatever the reason, I'm glad I don't, because I usually end up falling in love with them again later and wondering what was wrong with me to ever think about selling them.

I'm an individual who normally prides herself on her strong work ethic and ability to make firm decisions, so this laziness and vacillation bothers me.

 

I thought of a few more that I do.

I keep buying clothes in black. The other day I realized that I didn't even have a white shirt.

I impulsed bought a doll because he looked exactly like one of my OCs.

I love my work at first whether it be clothes, face ups, or anything really. Then I look at other people's work and then I feel that my work isn't good enough.

Those are it for now until I think of a few more.

 

Same here - up trees, in snow, on ice, on an icy rock, in the rain....that last one only lasted for the two photos it took me to realize that the lightning was starting to get very, very VERY close.

 

Instead of purchasing more clothes or accessories or nicer eyes and wigs for my dolls, I keep buying new dolls. I often feel like I won't start spoiling my dolls with nicer things until the majority of my wishlist is taken care of.

 

Sometimes I want to just quit work and go back to being retired so I can play with my dolls and not just dream about having the time to paly with them. Then I feel a ll guilty because I remember I went back to work to help as many feral cats as I can then I feel sad.

 

I'm aiming at keeping it to two Bjd's . and find the doll chateau creepy looking D;

 

I bought Lark at a doll show within a week of receiving Meia.

I put Lark in a dress. He looked precious.

I took Lark to the movies and he didn't have shoes on.

I let my cat sleep on Meia. It was adorable.

 

[FONT=helvetica neue, helvetica, arial, lucida grande, sans-serif]I get secretly offended when people say they hate doll breasts because they look fake. Since I have fake boobies myself and I love them.[/FONT]

 

I spend too much time looking at doll photos and reading about dolls, when I should be studying.

 

I am secretly in the process of paying for a doll on layaway when my brother already told me that he would give me the internet bill for me to pay when I get another doll. lol

 

By the end of February I will have at least paid for the two dolls that I really wanted this year.

I am impulse buying clothes and accessories for my dolls--even one that I don't have yet.

It was not until I got my second doll that I really started to give my first doll more attention. ^^;;;

 

I have spent enough money on dolls in the last three months that I am not buying another until December. And I used to have a rule for myself about waiting for one doll to arrive before I ordered the next one. Heart stealing limiteds. What can I say? Not that learning more financial responsibility would be bad for me...

 

I am considering returning to work at a job that gives me incredible anxiety just to have more doll money. Not sure if I'll do it yet, but as its freelance on top of my regular job the extra money would be amazing.

 

New confession: I put my flat-footed doll in heels. She looks so great.

 

I can't remember how many dolls I have owned, I think it was less than 15.

I once sold my first boy but was later able to get him back. Needless to say I don't think I'm going to be that lucky again so I won't sell him again.

I find it really hard to have doll of different sizes, I can never make them look "right" to me.

I want to try to get SD dolls again even when it hasn't worked out in the past, gotta keep chasing those dreams!

 

I bought a second doll and the first one has not even come yet......

 

I am NOPEnopenope levels of terrified of Ringdoll's Norman. (Don't click unless you're ready for an intentionally spooky doll) The freaky flayed looking grin.... AUGH NOPE.
I think if it showed up at a meetup my response would be to swear and vault behind the nearest couch to hide. And I don't swear.

 

I've been buying clothes for a doll I don't even have yet! (Signature) This'll put a damper on any saving up I might want to do for next month..

 

That doll is totally based off of the Joker (DC comics). Even the back story is loosely slimier to the Joker.

Another confession is that I think that the MiniFee Chloe is a too common of a doll but I am guilty of wanting three of them myself to make triplets.

 

You guys have all made me laugh until my eyes water and my nose is running! I love THIS confession thread! It's so nice to read a confessions that makes me feel closer to my fellow bjd collectors.

I don't think I have anything to confess that hasn't been confessed yet. I have too many floating heads, buy new dolls when I haven't worked on the dolls I already have and made plans to work on. I have doll shopped when drinking and let dolls wear the same clothes for a year. Oh!! And, I read the Problem Transaction threads while practically eating popcorn!

 

I am in some vintage and antique doll groups with older ladies and I like freaking them out with creepy BJD pics...(Thanks for the link Rosslyn)

 

I love the smell of my dolls and I keep them in the boxes so I can take them out and sniff them...LOL...Does sniffing resin kill u?

 

I buy my dolls more clothes than I do for my self

 

I never meant to get as many dolls as I own.

 

OH THANK GOD IT'S NOT JUST ME.

I got my first BJD the other day and I cannot stop huffing her. She smells yummy. I wasn't sure if it was the resin smell or just the 'new' smell

 

Nope, me too. Now that my SDs have been frequently moved about and handled they've lost their smell and I kinda miss it. This thread makes me smile.

I confess:
I like stroking my dolls arms and cheeks because I love the silky smooth feel of the resin.

I spend WAY too much time lurking in threads, looking at dolly photos on here and in flickr!

I said I'd never own a tiny. My first realpuki arrived this year and I already want to get him a friend.

I feel guilty for not spending more time appreciating the dolls I have instead of dreaming about the others I want.

 

I only have one doll... now want more~ No, really I want more... too...... ... I love the smell of his outfits and himself... I have them dry-learn all his outfits before put them on him~
He's a spoiled brat and love him very much...

 

I'm not into resin. I don't have a single resin doll. All my dolls are OT except for Amiga, my Obits 60cm, because she was grandfathered in. Well, I got a boy who's on topic, but I'm selling him and going to get more OT dolls instead.

Even so, I still adore seeing everyone's art here, so I'm not going anywhere, even if you can't see all the things I do.

 

Really? How so? I'm curious cause I haven't noticed it somehow lol.(Norman thing BTW)

 

I was never gonna become one of those people with a whole lot of dolls... I wasn't.... Oops.

 

I love to talk about BJDs in public in a way that can creepy people out: talk about buying one but use a name, state I only want the head and if the other person want the body or the opposite, say names and values they are being sold, talk about taking their eyes or them apart (for stringing or customization).

I'm getting addicted in looking eyes, to the point I want to make characters just to have excuse to buy the ones I like.

I'm a hoarder and have done a big wish list after got back on the hobby and planned how long will take me to buy everything.

 

This one made me laugh so hard I actually had a coughing fit. Reminders from the flu, bronchitis bit shrug. I still can't laugh without coughing and wheezing yet. This is so me. I told myself I was going to have maybe 4 BJD's, 2 big ones, 2 little ones, one of each gender. 2 years later I think I might have a softball team in the making here...

 

I think others dolls are prettier and better than my own dolls. Idk if iactually like my dolls lol

 

If I have a doll out or am planning to handle my BJDs, I will not eat food that is greasy (like popcorn, corn on the cob, or other greasy/buttery foods you eat with your hands) until I put them away because I'm super paranoid that there will be some residue still on my hands even after washing with soap and it will ruin my doll's faceup or their clothes. I've though about eating popcorn with a spoon or fork to avoid using my hands but always end up eating something else like yogurt just to be safe LOL.

 

After spending half an hour trying to position a wig without bangs, I realized I had NO idea where a hairline is actually supposed to go. So some of my dolls have alternated between having their hairline begin just above their eyebrows in one pic and late-stage male pattern baldness in the next.

 

This is the best confession ever.

Same here! I feel like I can't really enjoy my dolls bc both if my roomies hate then all I can't have any out and around.

I still have no idea how to use tumblr...you are not alone

Yes, ALL the time.

I'm better at paying of a doll layaway than keeping up with regular bills...this is why my car payments are 3 months behind...and let's not even discuss student loans.

 

These are fun! Here's mine:

I would rather wait months and years to get a doll second rather than just buck up and order from the company. I just don't feel comfortable sending hundreds of dollars overseas and waiting so long for a product.

 

Whenever I see this ad



I think of that "Aliens." guy from the history channel...
