They said WHAT to you?!

haha Was on my computer and had a customs doll post up. Brother needed to use my computer and read part of page out of context about "how many blank heads you have collected". Haha it was funny explaining as he asked me what I was doing.

 

"Okay, she has nipples but does she have a vagina?"
The first thing a friend asked when I showed her my msd girl xD

 

Brother: Do you think they are haunted?
Mother: Nah, they're too gorgeous to be.

My mom said it with a straight face.

 

Ex Roommate: "When you're not around I feel like he's watching me. It's creepy. I want to cover him up but that's rude. That's when they come for you."

My ex roommate was afraid of dolls, poor guy. It was funny though!

 

Just yesterday:

Me: *brings out my brand new doll, fully clothed* Here she is Mom!

Mom: ...You realize how creepy they look without eyes, right?

Just imagine if I'd been showing the doll to her after I removed her head so I can send it to a faceup artist. XD

 

My mum told me to take the "heads" upstairs while the phone engineer came... Then said, "I hope the neighbours didn't hear that."

Also, "Why are there heads hanging up?!" (Answer: because their new wig caps are glued and drying.)

More mum: " The heads would look cool with lights in them!" (I tried electric tealights... They DO look cool!)

Friend of mine, on being told they are anatomically correct asked if she could have a look. XD

 

To me: "You doll is possessed! Its eyes keep following me around the room!"

To my doll: "Bruna. Stop staring at me, it's creeping me out."

Both were said by my brother who is other wise cool with my inherent nerdiness. I'm pretty sure it was just the default domed eyes that made the staring effect. Pretty sure.

 

Driving down the street with my (then) newish boyfriend (now) husband-

Hubby: *completley random* "you don't collect dolls do you?"

Me: *pause* *nervous laugh* *calm voice on the outside, panicking on the inside* "why are you asking me that?" HE KNOWS MY SECRET!

Hubby: "we just drove by a house with a bunch of porcelain dolls sitting in the window.. I don't know why anyone would do that."

Me: "well, now that you mention it..."

 

My mother-in-law had brought in our laundry and I couldn't find my boy's freshly-laundered Halloween costume among them. My husband went to ask his mom about it and returned with the items to our room.

Hubby: Apparently she thought it's for [our sister-in-law]'s new baby.

Me: THESE CLOTHES ARE MEANT TO BE WORN BY MY RESIN BABY AND HIM ALONE. IT ISN'T MEANT TO BE PUT IN A PILE OF BABY NAPPIES. WHO HONESTLY COULD THINK THESE COULD FIT ON A HUMAN BABY??? *rage rambling on and on*

Hubby: Well, that's certainly a violent reaction if there ever was one.

Perhaps I simply am too averse to taking care of human babies at the moment.

 

Not technically said to me, but one of the funniest things said to someone else about my dolls in a while.

So, I'm at the park, and taking photos of my doll. This little kid comes up and is asking all sorts of questions. Her older brother is just rolling his eyes, and their mom asks if she can see Ozzie. He's a big guy, but sure, no problem, I trust her to be careful and show her how best to hold the big lunk.

Me: And that's how you customize them, you add eyes, hair, paint the faces, and make or get them awesome clothes.

(The mom promptly decides to pants Ozzie while I'm talking. Her kids both gasp.)

Boy: Mom, seriously, what is with you getting into a dude's pants like that?

Girl: Mommy, bad, you're gonna be called a pe-do-feel if you do that!

Boy: It's pedophile, but yeah, jeesh, taking off a guy's pants in public......I don't know you.

(Their mother promptly blushes and hands Ozzie back after trying to haphazardly pull up his pants. And he's on a Mirodoll body, without the "bits" sanded down, so sometimes getting his pants on right is a chore.)

I could not stop laughing for a good several minutes as she retreated a short ways, leaving the kids to ask a few more questions about my crew who were with me for that photo shoot. I seriously wish I'd been holding my camera when her kids said that.

 

When i first got my doll back in 2009, one of my older brothers was telling another of my brothers (who didn't live at home anymore) about my doll.

Brother: yeah she owns a little vampire doll now.
Me: no i dont! He isnt a vampire!
Brother : yeah it is. It's paler than the moon, has white hair and even came in a little coffin.

My roommate upon seeing my new boy naked while i unpacked him
Roommate: oh...oh you weren't kidding about the bodies
Me : huh? Oh yeah, you've never seen em naked have you? XD
Roommate: nope...its kinda surprising. I wasnt really expecting that.

And one time my roommate brought a friend over who hadn't seen any dolls. She didn't really say anything extraordinary, but she did walk in on me restringing and detail cleaning the kiddos, so the pieces and clothes were everywhere. She was kinda shocked but really curious

 

"What are you looking at, dead bodies?" A friend asked while looking over my shoulder while I was scrolling through the second hand market for a body on my phone. From a distance the bodies look a bit pale in all their resin glory

My answer? "N-no!" And then I went and sulked in a corner so that no-one could look over my shoulder again.

 

Not particularly funny, but interesting. I’m at the UPS store shipping off my new doll: her body is going to a blushing artist and her head to a face up artist. Her body is in her box, but her head is out in the open (without eyes I might add).

Female Customer: Oh, do you put dolls together?

Me: No, I just collect them. I’m sending this one off to be customized. See? Here’s her body. *pulls body out of box* And here’s what the ones I have at home that are already customized. *pulls up a photo on my phone of my other two girls*

Female Customer: Wow, those are beautiful. Good luck with your dolls.

Meanwhile, I had to stand around the UPS Store for an embarrassingly long time because first, I forgot the doll’s eyes and lashes to send with the head. I sent my dad back to get them (we live about 1.5 miles away), and he comes back having found them, but he left them at home because he got distracted and had to go back again. Before you ask how he could possibly get distracted and forget the items he went back for in the first place, I should point out that my father has ADHD and it was really my fault for forgetting in the first place.

 

my dad: "yep...there she is...with no hair and weird eyes..."

there was also one time when I was with my friend (who didn't know much about bids) and I set a floating head on a table and its wig came off. she started freaking out because she didn't know it could go back on.

my brother (talking about the second doll I got, who has slightly sharper features than the first): "she looks like the first one but pointier"

 

Mom: can you just put away the eyeballs? It was creepy to see it on the side table when my friends came.

 

I was traveling with Lue, who was dressed in a three piece suit, with his hands folded over his chest and clasping a silk rose. (Whatever possessed me to pose him like that, I have no clue...) Lue was also in his carrying case, which happens to be one of those coffin shaped ones that Dollmore used to sell. I set him down on the belt and he went through the scanner at airport security, I think they backed the belt up and ran him through again. (They usually do, even when he is traveling in my backpack.).
Then this TSA agent, a big Samoan or Hawaiian guy, asks for permission to look inside. No problem, this also happens quite frequently as well. After several seconds the guy returns, ever so carefully carrying Lue in his case... sort of like he was carrying a million dollar vase with a live rattlesnake in it, and with this really strange expression on his face. He then very gingerly hands me the case, and in all seriousness asks, "Is it a religious item?"

Lol, so help me, my first impulse was to say with equal seriousness, "Yes, it's my dead husband."

 

My brother when I showed him the doll I intended to buy: "That shit's haunted man. Don't call me when it eventually tries to kill you in your sleep."

 

omg xD i am dying here xD if i could ever have somthing special like this instead of: they are so creepy or they are too expensive then it would be a blast xD

 

Ive had someone ask me if I'm attracted to them!! what the heck!! XD

 

When I got Annika, I wanted to make all of her clothes myself, so I didn't buy any clothes for her at first. Then I kept envisioning her sitting blind, bald, and naked in her box, and I felt so sad that I decided to order her one outfit so she had something to wear. But she arrived before it did.

Mom: "Can I see her?"

Me: "But she's naked!"

Mom: "Oh, she's just a doll. It's fine."

Me: "Okay...(don't say I didn't warn you...)" *brings Annika out*

Mom: "...Wow."

Me: "I told you!"

Mom: "Yeah, it's just...shes' a little...busty. Don't let your sons see her like that!" (I don't have any kids)

 

"Why would you want your dolls to have a war?"

 

"Where do you keep your spare eyeballs?"

That's a favorite of mine!

 

Not happened to me exactly but my close friend got into dolls recently, and I showed her some tips and trick to sew clothes. She does this strictly for herself, only thinking of maybe trading some of it but recently, she had gotten these comments from several places:
- Why not sew for sell?!
Every time she has to explain that she has a perfectly good paying day-job, that take up almost all of her time and she only sews on the weekends and will not quit said nice job to sew dolls clothes. Their reasoning usually is that I do it and love it. :'D
Seems like there are two types of people: her side thinks that this is a job that makes big money, my side thinks I am doing nothing with my time sewing dolls clothes to sell :'D

 

My dad on my birthday.

"It seems like just yesterday you were stripping down your barbies and making them swim in the sink. Now your making clothes and keeping your dolls clothed."

And a couple of days ago when showing off something I made:

Doll: *wig pops off in mom's hands*

Mom: My grandchildren always do this to me. D8 WHY? (True fact - every doll with the exceptions of the ones who have wig stoppers, even when the wig is firmly on the head and I can tip them over without issue, as soon as they're in my mom's hands they lose their wig)

Me: I guess they want you to spend more money on them.

Also mom:

Mom: I found all these cute dolls for your dolls! 8D *going on a buying spree*

Me: 8D Oh neat.

Mom: Toys for the toys!

 

I had Justin out at a park for photos. He had a bandage on his hand because he arrived to me with broken fingers and didn't want to risk further damage or losing fingers while I was waiting on his new hand to arrive. Two elderly ladies stop me on a walking path.

Lady #1, in patronizing tone: "What do you have? Is that your baby?"

Me: "He's a ball jointed doll!" *explains hobby and customization*

Lady #2, clearly interested now: "He's so cute! I really like him! But why is his hand bandaged? Is he hurt?"

Me: "He got broken in the mail, I'm waiting on new parts to fix him."

Lady #2, in sad tone: "But he'll okay, right?"

Me, trying not to laugh: "He'll be fine! Good as new!"

Lady #2, relieved: "Oh good! I don't like him hurting! We better be going, bye-bye, Justin!"

 

A friend of mine came to my home and saw Uliat (Withdoll Juwel) for the first time.
He asked: "It is a boy or a girl?"
Me: "A boy."
My friend: "How can you be sure?"
Me: "He has male genitals" (and go to unbotton Uliat's jeans)
My friend: "For God's sake, don't do that! I don't want to see!"

 

When I show my friends my little girl it almost always go the same way, they first say that dolls like that is really creepy and yet they start ask alot of things about her and asks to those her.
The most fun thing about ever friend I show is that when they're holding her they always ask how much she costs and when i answer they always throws her at me and tell me that I'm crazy x) and yesterday when my friend came over i showed her Harumi.

My friend: "OMG! That's so creepy and scary!"
10 minutes later
"I love her, can u show me where to buy one so i can do it tomorrow?"
X)

 

My mom: "Oh my god, she has a doll-gina"

My friend: "She looks like she has daddy issues"

I've only had her for two days, so I'm looking forward to even more comments about her lol.

 

THAT is a first! Someone who DOESN'T want to see the goodies. You got lucky there.

 

My mom used to threaten to throw out any naked Barbies! Now each of my dolls has at least three outfits. XD

 

Ha, ha. I come from a very modest family. They NEVER want to see my dolls naked, especially after they’ve had their body blushing done. This is particularly true of my father.

 

Camping out on a doll graveyard, anyone?

There is an island filled with cursed hanged dolls. Way too creepy. Not creepy enough for a friend, it seems. He said he'd love spending the night in one.

 

"Your forearms look like Popeye's arms, gotten muscles from handling and stringing your dolls.

 

I'd make them dab too lol

 

“Can she at least wear some shorts? I don’t need her to be naked...” Said my mom this morning after asking to borrow my girl for anatomy studies(she’s training to be an RMT and needed something with joints to try and memorize complicated AF notes) I laughed sooo hard and went to find shorts and a shirt for Amara. XD

 

Old friend: awwww that's some cute tiny stuff. What are you going to do with it, put in a fairy garden?

Me: uhhh sureeee (Don't tell them about the dollies...)

 

Parents on Soom Sabik/MerryDollRound Zuri: "See, now if you brought a man/woman like him/her home, I wouldn't object."

Grandparents on (Blue) Resinsoul Long: "He's GREEN!"

Grade school teacher on Dollzone Raymond: "He looks like he's seen too much."

College Theatre students on Doll Leaves Noir: "Vooodooo Doooll! That thing's gonna hex me in my sleep! So awesome!"

...There was a rumor in my first semester of college that I was a warlock with a large collection of haunted dolls. I heard it more than once.
