Friend: "OMG BALL JOINTED DRAGONS!? That's so cool but yes, get the bodies first." That's the short version since I can't remember excatly what we said but we wandered around B&N talking about floating heads and bodies for a good 5-10 minutes and probably scared everyone around us.

At workplace (hospital) in a spare moment:

Coworker: What are you looking at?
Me: Eyes. I want to buy eyes.
Coworker: Oh, you mean contact lenses, right?
Me: No, I mean eyes.

I was a bit distracted at the time...

Also at workplace (cafeteria):

Me: I'm selling my body.
Coworker (different one): Uh, you may want to keep it a bit down. I know what you're talking about, but not everybody here does

 

LMAO awesome ^^

Sometimes I wonder if we subconsciously turn off the 'natural censorship' of our mouths (when talking about doll stuffs0 just so we have fodder for these threads LOL

 

Why won't she sit up straight GRRR Just sit still while I take your photo!

 

'I get so anxious looking at bodies'.(me hunting for bodies for my floating heads).

"I'm crossing my fingers her eyes won't fall out in the mail."
"I need to wrap her limbs up tightly so she doesn't kick and hurt herself."
"Should I put some bubble wrap over her groin region?"

I never thought I would be into dolls... I also never thought I would take the time to learn to sew and create things for dolls. I am excited to learn new crafting skills! That is my favorite part about being in the hobby. It gives me something to do away from my computer! Which I spend WAY too much time in front of.

Still waiting on shipping, so I haven't had too much experience in all the odd things I might say in the hobby, yet..... But I do spend an awful lot of time talking about buying eyes, now.

"He should have a red wig, not blue, it's fall now, not winter!" (Mom again, about Phouks.)
"Uh. What is that? Aren't you too old to play with dolls?"
"Do those things have...y'know....stuff under the belt?"
"Is it going to kill me?"

Things you never thought before you had dolls.
"Only $185? Even third-hand, there has got to be something wrong....no, wait, he's yellowed properly with signs of wear and tear, he's an old doll and not a recast or anything, phew! Wait, is that still the original factory faceup? It totally is!"
"Where did I put his eyes now?"
"Ugh, how come I can make this hat for you and I haven't made one for myself?"
"Get in your box already, or I won't take pictures of you tomorrow."
"Oh man, why are you such a heavy lunk? This is why you don't go out as often as the others."
"What possessed me to carry an SD, an MSD, and two YoSDs on a two mile walk for photos?"
"I'm going to have to redo your faceup...."

Lol said these two things to my dad tonight as I was dressing my two in their new Christmas sweaters and doing a photoshoot..
"What would you do if you had to pop your head off to put a shirt on?" Where he replied "That would be nice." lol
Then when I surprisingly got my Bobobie Isabella to stand on her own which is rare cause she's so floppy.
"Oh my gosh look! She's standing! I've never got her to stand before!! Look!"
Lol my father is so cool about my dolls, but I think that's because he knows I have listened to rant about the model cars he builds so he can put up with me blabbling on in Michaels about what I was going to have to do to the sweater Christmas ornament I was buying because my boy's strings are so tight that I can't budge his S hook to get his head off.

Things you never heard until you had dolls.
Both of these were said by my boyfriend the same night I showed him pics of my two and the Angel of Dream Ling I want.
"She isn't so bad but he creeps me out. He looks way too real!"

Thing I never heard from friends before
So, have you bought your body?

 

"Why should I have kids, when I can have dolls instead?"
This thought crosses my mind alot, because when you think about it, both dolls and kids cost alot of money, time, and effort. But dolls are cheaper, don't complain or demand constant attention, and they still retain their beauty and value after many years.
Also, my favorite photos are artsy shots of people with their dolls, so when I saw this:

The first thing that came to mind was : Relationship Goals. Yeah, I might have a problem.

 

Things you never said until you had dolls.
can i buy just the head?

Things you never heard until you had dolls
my boy is all floppy (as in loose stringing lol)

Things you never thought until you had dolls.

I sent my friend this message a bit ago (though this is par for the course for how our conversations go) --

me: Also this is something I never thought I'd say, but these forceps were an excellent buy
her: I mean that's infinitely better than "buying these forceps was the greatest mistake of my life"

"There's a moment when you're wondering whether you're talking to a BJD collector or a serial killer when they talk about keeping the arms and legs in one bag and the heads and eyes separate."

Things you never thought until you had dolls.
"Awh.... my shirt has a whole in it. Well at least I can turn it into doll clothes."

 

I thought this exact same thing yesterday ... I'm sad that one of my favorite shirts has a hole in it, but then I'm like "but it'll make a cute shirt for the new boy ... so that's ok, right?"
I have a huge problem with holding on to clothes that aren't useful anymore, so this hobby is helping me not become a complete hoarder (at least, I know I'll be hoarding dolls instead of hole-y clothes)

 

Childless me walking by the kid's clothing at Target the other day. (Mumbles to myself...) "Wait, oh, that's so CUTE, but it's a 1T and it would just swamp a doll. I'd have to cut it down. Oh crap it's $34? For a child's party dress? That's a bit much even if it is new. Well, maybe not when you consider that if it was an actual BJD outfit it would be $100 at least..." Looking at kid's clothes, that used to be about getting gifts for the two little girls in my life. Now, I look at a piece of kid's clothing and it's totally about the dolls. Will the pattern work for a doll outfit if I were to cut it up? Is it cheap enough to rationalize buying it new instead of just waiting until I see something similar at a thrift? What else can I make out of any left over bits? I don't look at a pair of girl's leggings for instance and see just that. I see a pair of doll leggings, or a t-shirt, sometimes more than one, plus I see hair things, maybe a little bag, a pillow cover, whatever....

 

You and me both, but then there's the added issue of 'well I can't use this now, but it might come in handy later.' I have to be really critical with what I do keep or I'll never throw anything away. Although now I ask myself a new question when sifting through stuff, 'Do I really want my doll wearing this?'

 

"I had a head in my mail today" ^_^ Out of context, it's quite gruesome...
