Things you never said until you had dolls...

"No, darling. My leg's not on her head. Look, her head is in my hands."

 

Grabby hands reaching for the package my partner just brought in from the mailbox," Oh, goody!! It's my bag of eyes!"

and of course wailing out loud to my cat, "I can't fit another head in this drawer!"

 

Well... I once had to go on a run and left my dolls in pieces on my bed (I was re-stringing), I remembered we were having some cousins over so I called home and the conversation went like this:
"Mom can you hide the body parts on my bed in the closet? I don't want the children touching them." "Just put them on that open box with pillows. Oh! and take care handling the hands, they are fresh painted."

 

I'm going to go and do some sewing (I hated sewing until I got my dolls, lol)

 

Things you never said until you had dolls:
We'll I'm sending my girl off to have her torso sawed in two, she'll be much happier that way....
OMG, look!!! You can reposition his peen! Amazing.

Things you never heard until you had dolls:
You look at too many naked women on the internet......

Things you never thought until you had dolls:
Ugh, I wish this (insert everything) came in doll size.
Oh, I can store her extra ears inside her head.....

 

"I need a lot of pink fabric."

....I never will wear pink.

 

Whoa, whoa, WHOA...Iplehouse's dolls don't have attached buttcheeks!?

...This very question could be considered something I never thought I'd say until I got into this hobby.

 

I like to design and sew, so if I posted new photo on my Google plus or Flickr and any of my friends called, I always want to know if they saw it, so I ask, Have you seen my new lingerie set? and this question is really awkward when it comes from a GUY

 

"How many heads do you think I can fit in this box?"
"I can't wait for my eyes to get here!"
"His grey skin is so beautiful!"

And my most recent convo with my fiancé:
Him- "I can tell you've had Heliot sitting here." (Heliot's outfit leaves glitter wherever he sits)
Me- "Yeah, I did. That's pretty funny that if you find random glitter you know it's Heliot."
Him- "He has a glitter butt!"
Me- "Of course he does. He's a unicorn :P"

 

Hmm, $290 for that outfit? That sounds reasonable, I mean it comes with the hairband...

 

Just a few minutes ago trying to gather stuff for a doll show (to take for 'size' reference) to my dad...
"I can't remember where I put my heads!" (note plural lol) take the old saying of losing your head to a new level... welcome to the bjd world!

and never in a million lifetimes could I have imagined my DAD saying:

"don't you have a place to keep heads?"

... he may think it's a dumb hobby and way to expensive but he fit right in with us with just one comment LOL.

 

Recently I said, "I'd be happy if my body came to go with my extra face." The joys of Pukis.

 

To my brother...."I need to get up early tomorrow to do some plastic surgery. I'm giving my boy hooves but have to machine his thighs to get them in his torso properly."

 

I am kinda bored of my girls being regular kids... I kinda just want them to be fantasy creatures. Now lol

 

"Can you PLEASE stop being so kicky!" - Me scolding my DC Barbara girl, Urda.

 

"Wait...oh crap, her foot's still in there!" (Her boot.)

"I think I put every wig and pair of eyes on her twice before I decided."

"My seam ripper's stuck to her foot..." The perils of sewing for Pukifees.

"I just ordered a grab bag of eyes!"

 

*mumbling to self* 'need to warn mail guy next package with be a "big" doll box' ... at least I care enough to warn him? LOL

 

I said to my boss "I need to duck out at lunch, I have a body to put in the mail."

 

"Oh no, where's her ear? Grammy, I lost an ear!"

 

"If his ear fell back there I am taking an axe to the wall unit!" <-note I was dead serious about this. It was an ear to an LE Loong Soul baby white tiger.... possibility of replacement = zero. The wall unit was there when we got the house cuz the owner couldn't remove it (without removing a half wall) because the house had settled around it.... 30+ years later I was ready to axe the unit to bits to get the ear back. But we found the ear magnetically attached to a nearby table lol. I still want to axe the wall unit and get something more usable (for my dolls) ;p

 

A beautiful conversation I had driving back from a meet the other day:

"My bag feels a lot lighter now."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah. I got rid of a body."

"Err..."

And I kept the head."

o.o

Boyfriend: *laughs* "And she told you this???"
Me: "Yes."

 

Yay,my eyes are in the mailbox!

 

To a friend, about BJDs and why they are all very pretty: "If you cannot see boobs, just assume it's male. The owner will tell you if it's otherwise."

 

Things I never said: "Hey babe, I'll trade you these eyeballs for yours. Yours are prettier in her face."

Never heard: "His face is melting off! I know it's just the faceplate sliding but it looks like it's melting!"

Never thought: "Well that outfit is only fifty, but those shoes are 100 and I like them better."

dolls led have destroyed me and I love it. XD

 

I hope I'm doing this right!

Things you never said until you had dolls.
"...Oh no, I left his eyes in the kitchen!"

Things you never thought until you had dolls.
"Maybe I can sand his nose to make it a nicer shape..."

...Yikes.

 

Things you never said until you had dolls.
- [Insert sister's name here]! Did you see this! Check this out! You can move his peenie up and down! Ohmigoodness, how do people come up with these things?! - Upon seeing a doll with a movable 'part' on the net.
- "I need more eyeballs." - to my classmate.
- "That ain't a girl! It's a guy!" - to my classmate.
- "We have body parts in boxes. We still have to boil them though." - to my sister's friend.
- "Why ... won't ... you ... stop shoving your butt in people's faces?!" - to my doll.
- "You should get the head now then get a different body later." - to my sister.
- "And then ... and then ... you can open up her head to change the eyes!" - to my classmate who moved away from me once I finished that sentence.




Things you never heard until you had dolls.
- Don't worry about that. You can always boil her.
- "Sister, why does he have a peenie? Let's hide it." - asked by my sister.
- "What? He has a male part? Hahaha!" - from my mom.
- "Aaaabbbsssssss O_O" - from my mom ... as she dragged her finger on my monitor.




Things you never thought until you had dolls.
- Gosh. Why does he have to have a hole at the tip of his peenie?
- I wonder if I could sand her nipples. Hmmm ...
- Maybe I should get a head. Yeah ... a head would be nice. Hmmmm~
- Underwear ... or no underwear?

 

omg LOL you sister is cute but your Mom is the absolute BEST! lol she's so awsome!

 

just today to my friend....

"now where did I put my spare boobs?" about a dolls alternate upper torso size piece ^^

And "I finally found my missing weapons!" (put doll guns away for 'safe' keeping... aka 'lost them in the house ><)

try saying to a fellow doll person on your front steps that you found you missing guns.... hope no neighbors hear you lol.

 

"I come home every night wondering if I'm going to find a body on my door step"--referring to my incoming Miro body. XD

Also, trying to explain that I bought a body for my floating head to my mom.... yeah.... XD

 

"Oh, it's only $300."

 

"I'm the wrong person for those optional magnetic bits. You just KNOW they'd end up on the refrigerator!" (To my mom, who just laughed. And yes, she knew what "optional bits" I was talking about.)

"Wait, I have an eyeball stuck to my finger!" (Eye putty sticking to me and not the eye. Grrrr.)

 

I use the words 'nude and bald' more in day to day life than I ever thought I would

I also remember this one time I rebodied a Pullip onto an old hard bust Obitsu. I found myself squatting out in the back garden wearing a protective face mask, holding a naked doll in one hand and a sheet of sandpaper in the other, sanding off her nipples. Yeah. Don't worry neighbours, I'm totally normal!!

 

Me too! I don't have one yet but I warned my dad that when I do get one "his magnetic 'bits' will be going on the fridge!"​

 

(Upon first sight of Miro's 60cm SD body and it's significant attributes, said to Ringdoll Edward's head.) "Well, well, Eddie me boy, I don't guess anyone is going to be asking me if YOU are a boy doll!" Then 15 minutes later after unsuccessfully trying ALL the pants I have on him. "Sh- NONE of them fit your chubby not so little dolly d-? Grr, it figures! Sigh, but it's so cute. I mean look at it! It's even got a little mushroom thingy. Nope, no way, I am definitely NOT going to sand it off. I swear. Not an option. We'll just have to figure out a way to get you into some pants sans any genital mutilation!"

 

SAID:
"I have a basket of eyes!"
"Honey, legs do NOT go like that"
"I can PROVE he's a boy!"
"Muuuuum help me re-attach his head/eyelash!"
"I was trying to fix his leg and his panties kept moving to show his dick - every.freaking.time."

HEARD:
"I need a basket to carry Fleurette!" (JZSketch)
"Look at her little butt!" (JZSketch)
"have you ordered his brother yet?"
"he has a willy!"
"I dunno man dolls are kinda freaky"
"where'd you get it?"
"His room is lovely, why can't yours be like that?"
"DAAAD LOOK!" (not to me but we overheard an excited little boy pointing out Musou)

THOUGHT:
"would that work for them... hmm nah."
"goddamnit why is nothing white!"
"should I do the triplets? i should do the triplets."
"...if i undress Eli and make a nappy out of a tshirt she could be baby Yuki..."
"I should lower the shelf so I can use it as part of their room..."

 

Things you never said until you had dolls.
"I want her head."
"I'll need a bigger box to put the body in."
"I liked her a lot better with her clothes on."
"Besides, out of all the ones I've seen she's the only one so far that's made me squee like a five year old in a candy shop."
"I wonder what she looks like without any eyes or make up on."

Things you never heard until you had dolls.
"Does she have a [another word for female genitals that's a lot less tasteful.]?"
"[Referring to a male doll] He has tiny junk!"
Face up, shelling (that doesn't involve artillery bombardment), rehoming.

Things you never thought until you had dolls.
"I have way too many expensive hobbies."
"Will this dress look good on her hips?"
"Should I sell my 2nd Vita Slim?"

 

"I can't use this bag. I need a bigger one. My girl won't fit into it without squishing her legs against my wallet."

 

Only $500 with shipping included? that's a bargain!

 

Me to someone else regarding her doll whose faceplate fell off in the process of getting posed: "You and Molly had a faceoff--and I think she won this round."

 

"I guess they need time to decide that he's not a weapon of mass destruction."
about Customs holding my doll for several days.

 

Things you never said until you had dolls.
"Shit I left her eyes in my bag!"
"He would look much better if I sawed his legs off"
"You don't have to boil his head it's enough to pour scalding water over him"
All of the above I've said out loud in public....all the funny stares xD

Things you never heard until you had dolls.
My friend who also have BJDs came skipping in to the classroom and said to me "I've sold my body!" I said "Yay congrats!" and the other were like "WHAT?!?!?!"
Also I was sanding the seem lines on a doll while working on the thigh part someone came in and asked me: Is that a dildo? O_o

Things you never thought until you had dolls.
My friend was talking about cutting his dogs fur~ "I wonder if I can make a wig of that?"

 

I never said before dolls:
"$650? That's not too bad."
"I' hope the eyes and hair come in the mail at around the same time."
"I'm going to pull her apart."
"She arrived bald, nude, and with no eyes."
"I think I need to blush her nipples."

I never thought before dolls:
"The anklet would make a killer necklace."
"Do any of my clothes have a BJD scale print? Yes... Do I mind ripping this blouse apart for the good of the dolls? Nope."
"$35 for a freakin' t-shirt? That's robbery... I could buy my BJD a shirt for that... geez."
Step outside and it's rainy - instead of "Hey, it's wet out here", I think "Wow, this is so not faceup weather."
While petting my Schnauzer - "Awww you're so soft. You'd make an awesome wig."

 

conversation with my roomie who is NOT in the hobby:

me- (rambling about making clothes and such)

her- "It was when you started to refer to them as he, she, him, and her, and not 'it' that creeped me out. You talk about the dolls like they are people and not inanimate objects."

me- "But they have genders so it would be strange to say 'it' when its clearly a male or female, or otherwise."

her- "But thats the weird part. its not real, its not alive. its a doll. not a person."

me- "but it looks like a person!!"

after that i gave up...lol...bc clearly she would never understand!

 

"He looks like someone glued a cheese stick to his crotch."

 

Never said:
"Oops! I left her feet in my bag."

Never thought:
So, he's got interchangeable man-bits. Is that really necessary?

 

The worst one so far would be when I actually yelled out:

"Where the *bleep* is her *insert-girl-part-name-here*?" after I could've sworn I saw that exact doll anatomically correct before but this certain doll didn't have anything there...

Needless to say I got some pretty weird stares.

 

Mine is the verbal equivalent of 'said' and a reply to you ^^
YES! it is necessary! The 'practical reason is 'the little one make cloths fit that are really tight ^^ .. The next size fills out so he won't look 'unendowed' at all :P The rest are to freak friend by hanging them on the fridge like any other fridge magnet ;p

yeah never thought I'd be explaining the need for multiple man bits LOL

 

"I have a duffel bag full of little bags of stuff with people's names on them."

 

"OMG, my unit looks like it's a storage with all those boxes & stuff..."

Things I never thought or said until I had BJDS:

"Option Parts" took on a whooooooooooooole new meaning when I got an Unoa Boy.

The never-ending search for props and furniture.

A few from tonight:

"Do I need to swap your pants too?"
"Yes, [your brother] does get to be dressed first. He's older. ...in more ways than one."
"What is going on with your elbow? Put that back where it belongs."
"No, I don't have feet for you yet. Someday."
"There's your girlfriend. Now, behave yourself."
"Why won't you sit? Are you saying you don't want to hang out with her?"
