Things you never thought you'd say until you owned a BJD v2

"Here sweetie, let me just take your head off until we're finished." (me to my Iple Eva while adding beaded halters to her new dress - the dress had to be on her so I could keep checking for length, and she'd already faceplanted onto my desk once ...)

 

This just keeps getting better and better. I was going to put an different shirt on my IH Felix and noticed a lighter spot on one of his nipples (he's the only doll with body blushing that I currently own) and caught myself saying "is that blushing coming off?! omg, I scratched your nipple."
Sounds. so. very. wrong.

 

Whilst looking for a new top for myself..."Look at the price of this Top...£29! That's too much!".....Then search's for new things for my Doll's and easily spends like £100 on new clothes and shoes!...because my Littlefee's are so worth it! Lol!

 

I realised today that although I've blithely spent some £150 at a time on my bjds, the last few days I've been torn over spending £65 over a Blythe, so that she can be a fully customised almost-bjd... and I was putting this into perspective. I feel pretty dumb right now.

 

"My eye bag is steadily growing, I wonder if I should put some of them up for sale?"

 

"I pulled her foot off because the shoe was too tight, and then I had to restring her whole leg!" Note to self- Do NOT try to put hard stacie shoes on Blaze.

 

"There were body parts all over the table, and my cat was playing with a foot."

Good thing that conversation was had over the phone and not in public....

 

^ omg that's fantastic.

Recently, I said to a friend that it took 3 months for a body to arrive to me in the post. She looked a bit horrified until I clarified. I went on to make things worse by saying I'm expecting a girl to arrive in the mail in about three weeks. "So soon!" I chirped.

 

My mum, regarding Gabriel (Impl Gnaeus), who she has apparently decided to knit wool socks for: "You don't have to take his foot off to measure it, do you?"


Also with my mother, on the subject of Gabriel....
Mum: Is he as tall as a toddler?
Me: Maybe as tall as a one-year-old. But he's not a kid. He's a grown man.
Mum: A grown man the size of a one-year-old...?
Me: Um...yeah
Mum: ...
Me: *laughing*

 

1) Me, to the rest of my family, after one of my boys' magnetic "attachments" flew off when I zipped up his pants: "No one move! You might crush my weiner" haha XD
2) "I thought I was picky about boys, but Gwen (jolly plus McQueen) makes my standards seem nonexistent.."
3)Me to my mom: "you can't put my underwear in that drawer anymore...my wigs and eyes live there now"
4) Me in public with my friends about Zombie Sol.."His guts look like they'll fall out any second, and his hands are gnawed on, but he's still pretty sexy to me" (warranted some terrified looks by our waitress and the people sitting near us..but it was worth it haha)

 

Well, this isn't something I said, but...from my housemate: "Emby, tell Chaeri to stop leaving her panties on the floor!"

She has a lot of underwear, and inevitably when I'm going through her suitcase o' stuff a pair of undies is going to slip out and end up on the floor somewhere...

This has led to inevitable comments about Chaeri and Johnny gettin' busy in the living room when the humans are asleep...

 

Lol, Imlike to look this up for a laught or two.

Well, I think I did not mention it the the post I did before, but a simple truth since I collect BJD that never even crossed my mind before: "I like dolls"

 

Me:Yah, you can see my boys on my facebook page
New Acquaintance: Oh wow they are cool.
Me: Yeah, I'm like a 60 year old teenager.

 

Me, searching for a new doll : "Wow only 600$ without shipping fees...sound not too bad actually !"

 

Hmm….Where did I put that box of eyes? Lol. I found one of my grail dolls and only paid $1200 for her! What a deal. I know I have an extra hand around here somewhere……..

"I'm about to put a $500 doll on layaway"- said to a classmate who then proceeded to stare at me like I had two heads.

 

"There's doll wig hair on my keyboard."

I just said this to a classmate...

 

When I received a doll* Me: Ooo!! Smells like resin!

 

"It's only five hundred dollars, mum"

 

"You know, she kinda looks like a boy without her clothes on."

 

"It's like Tim Burton and Edward Gorey decided to merge into one being and make dolls. And I want one." --When I saw Doll Chateau's Kid Dolls.

 

"Oh, did my hands and bust get here today?"- asking about the mail

 

"Oh no! I have to get her now when she comes with a spare set of boobs!" Me explaining to Dad why I have to get the doll "now" and not later when it would be less of a financial pinch Dad thinks dolls are a 'dumb' hobby to start with now he thinks I'm insane

 

Jurie why couldn't you be a girl like I wanted you to be? Now your body is going to cost even more.
I think Metta doesn't like him because I bought him before buying her little brother.
I want to make him a a wig but he'd have to steal Metta's body and she just started becoming friends with him.
I'm sorry I bought him first but he was cheaper. (talking to my first doll, she was a little miffed that I had bought a head before her brother)
I would like just the head but since they don't do that... don't care which body since I will just sell the body so that I can get a girl body. (something I wrote on my wishlist since the company doesn't allow one to switch the dolls gender)
It's so hard to find green eyes.
My head is here!

 

I talked to my parents about a doll mod I been working on. They just sat there going "Umm okay? Thats cool." and stare awkwardly at me.

I also told them two dolls are coming with me on vacation because where we are going has wonderful scenery. Plus they are kind of begging to go XD My Parents haven't gotten the sense that each doll has personality lol.

 

One thing I've had the joy of experiencing again since getting back into the hobby is accidentally forgetting that BJD rules don't apply to real people and real people clothing...

For instance, "WOW that is a really huge seam, it needs to be sanded down some..." While looking at a picture of a rather muscular man with a sticky-outy vein running down the inside of his arm, making it kinda look like a resin seam and making me forget that people aren't made of resin.

"Those tights are so cute! I wonder where I could buy them... they probably don't come in msd size, those kinda look like sd legs" Before realizing the tights i was looking at were modeled on a human being.

 

Oh, I know that kind of stuff! Last summer, my then-boyfriend and I had a RP session with some friends, three of whom are extremely sporty. It was one of the first really warm days, so the boys were hanging out shirtless ... and I caught myself thinking "Mirodoll 60cm, Iplehouse nYID, Dollshe ..."
I keep catching myself trying to classify "skintones", too. "Normal skin, but way overblushed!"

 

I was putting a bunch of naked/half-naked (just deboxed after moving) dolls in a circle on my floor to get a resin comparison photo of their hands last night.

"No orgies allowed in my bedroom."

I ended up putting a girl down next to a known womanizer character:

"Feel free to kick him if you need to."

 

Most of my things/conversations involve me dropping something or talking to the dolls. Or conversations with the boyfriend.

" Can you retrieve (insert name) eye...it rolled under the couch..."(This has happened multiple times. The most problematic is always my tiniest.)

" Well now why are you throwing your hair on the floor now?(I have two dolls that have days where their hair just won't stay on...no matter what I try.)

Me -" Can you go grab (insert name) for me?"
Boyfriend- " Which one was that?"
Me- " *blinks* The one without the boobs that's in a dress..."
Boyfriend- (long suffering sigh) " Half of your boys are in dresses..."
Me- " The BIG one that likes to headbutt you..."
Boyfriend- " Oh...that one..."

Me-" Can you go grab me Kii..."
Boyfriend-" Mr. Grumpy?(My Volks Michael has always had the worst grumpy expression when my boyfriend picks him up?)
Me- " Yes"
Boyfriend- " The red haired one won't let him go. And he's still grumpy...I think they're both grumpy..."
Me- " Well, you must have interrupted something..."

Me- " Can you grab me Analai?"(the lone big girl in the house)
Boyfriend- " Her wig fell off again..."(he proceeds to try to get the wig back on her head...)
Me- (after watching him struggle) " Seems you're not that good with the Queen there..." (proceeds to get wig back on)

 

LMFAO *dies* omg you BF sounds like a riot! the poor guy.... I'd pay to see these little exchanges ahahahah lol This just made my day *snerks*

 

Before owning a BJD I never expected to have a casual conversation in the park about a floating head and buying bodies, but guess what happened recently when I was out with a friend

 

"I've uploaded (taken) over 800 pictures in just over a year (now over 1,000 in 17 months )"

The significance of this you ask? I had not taken a dozen pictures in the last preceding decade O_O (crappy vision) but have found a good camera and a teeny bit of editing can be fuuuuuuuuun lol...

 

I tell all my friends I'm pregnant every time I order a new doll and every time they come in the mail I call up one of my friends (my best friend is very attached to my dolls) and yell "I'M GIVING BIRTH!" and she goes into this wave of excitement.

 

Raguna, that's excellent.

I recently got a pure neemo body for my Blythe so that she could be ball-jointed-ish, and taking her apart was a huuuuge pain. Anyways, I had fun talking about "all of my extra eyes" lying around. My sister even got used to it.
Now taking a bjd's head off her body seems like no problem or hassle AT ALL. haha, never did I think that day would come.

 

I converted GBP to Euros in Google for a full set and saw the result: "Ohh... 298 €? HA, that's cheap!"
... -_-"

EDIT: Loving this thread btw!! So full of funny quotes

 

these are all so funny. really cheered me up. sisters gone away for a weekend to london and is having way to much fun and i have assignments to be working on.

 

today at a doll meet someone mentioned a find on a doll market ... Remember we are essentially sitting in a lounge area/hall of a local university:
"A hundred just for a head?! That's cheap!" (it really was too ;p) but said as random ppl passing with in easy hearing lol ... oops.

 

"wow that is a REALLY large doll penis"

 

PFFT! XD My mom I think would die laughing if I said that.

Reminds me of what she said to me a week ago.

Mom: *helping me look for Noah's wig* I remember you showing it to me, when you said you were saving it...First time I ever heard of you getting another one!

Me: Well these things happen. >w>

 

"He is really big. And has an abnormally large schlong" - me after opening my souldoll zenith today.

 

Haha really? Does he have any problems with trousers not fitting?

 

lol not if it's from the company or he can wear Doll Heart size 70 cm.. yes I have one too ^^ And it is .... well the old saying proves true "big hands, big feet ... big ^_^" yeeeeeep lol.

 

Haha oh goodness! I will keep that in mind if i ever get a zenith, i will be prepared and get them big trousers ! they sure are cute, congrats on your new boy

 

"What only £100.00 for this doll dress I must so get this..."
"OMG *insert doll name* is up for £250.00 that is so cheap I have to get her...."

 

Lovely, to Romeo; "I wish my legs were as smooth as yours."

 

When I make doll-clothing:
Mom: I don't think this is going to fit him...
Me: Oh yes it will, just let me take his head off.

 

Her butt has dimples!! Look! *pulls doll's pants down*
I wonders if he's as flexable as the last one.

My roomates and I have some fun conversations

 

Upon finally buying my first doll: "Only $194 for a doll? What an amazing and cheap price!"

 

Me: I need more guns... and swords, those daggers are awesome I want them.. no I need them too!
Having tumbled into what could be a dangerously $$$ theme set of dolls that fit too well with my pirates, privateer's, rakes and scoundrels and the women who can manage them!
"I have to get 'Pamela's' pocket pistol if it kills me ><". (pun not lost on me lol)

 

"Just got some new hands in the mail!"

 

"Give me your hair"

"What are your legs doing?"

"Oops, her finger came off again" - apparently not even apoxie is enough to keep broken Bobobie fingers together.

 

Is it because I had too much coffee or because this thread is so hilarious? I have to run to the toilet every twenty minutes or I'll wet my pants! Thank you all so much, esp. for all the discussion of your dolls manly pants. "A penis in a box" cracked me up.

 

"Just a second dad, I'm putting my eyes in!"


...I was talking about contact lenses, but I don't think I'd ever have said this if I didn't own dolls.

 

"Oh, my box finally arrived!"

"What did you buy?"

"Bodies!"

 

(sculpting a bjd head) "pffff I've been carving in those eye sockets for HOURS!"

 

Me and my friend talking about my dolls' bodies.

Friend: WHOA! These things are so cool, they even have abs sculpted in! His body is manlier than mine... except he doesnt have a penis. heh
Me: Naw bro, he does have a penis!

 

me talking to my msd while cleaning his resin "hmm I wish you were taller...I know I'll buy you a new body"

on the same sort of topic buy different day "I'll probably need to sell Aqua's body (my msd) to be able to afford a new one...eh It's not like he'll mind being a decapitated head for a while."

I should probably stop thinking out loud cuz people keep staring at me weirdly on the sprinter

 

A memorable one is "if you hold his butt like this, it looks like an owl!" when i was cleaning/restringing sid... it does look like an owl, but still.

 

"And would you believe he was only $1400?!" (Me, to my friend Mino, on the subject of a certain SD17 one-off)

 

" omg A tan 65cm bjd for only $500 it's so cheap I am so buying him" and now to wait for him to come home super excited he's my first tan doll
