Dollieh Sanctuary

Once upon a time there was a beautiful doll princess named Cherry who celebrated her fourth birthday right before a fantasy convention. So her mama bought her a brand new Volks tan EB for her birthday so she could go to the convention in style.

She met a lot of her mother's old friends, like Frank, who ran the hospitality suite...


...and a funny robot dog that seemed to know her mama quite well...



...who was owned by still another friend of her mama's, the Doctrix, who lived in a strange blue box.



Some of her mama's friends were, admittedly, a bit...odd. Take Betelgeuse, for example.



Others, like Don, were very nice.



Mama's friend Kathie was not only super nice, but exceptionally pretty.



Not to be outdone, Cherry made some new friends of her very own. One was the human personification of a...pony?



She also befriended a lovely creature her own size, who had her own human to take care of, so she could not go home with Cherry (sadlly).



One of the best things about attending conventions is finding people with similar interests. Cherry found someone who shared her love of unicorns! They sang the "Despicable Me" Unicorn Song together. For HOURS.



Cherry planned to enter the costume contest as Mi-na from The Doll Master on Saturday night, but her mama got taken to a room party and...partied a little too hard. Cherry wasn't terribly disappointed, but she was a little embarrassed when Mama started singing Sailor Moon karaoke. In the Star Wars room.



But Cherry still got to wear plenty of pretty clothes at the convention, and meet a great many new friends, so it was all good.


She even got filmed for the local news report on Sunday. Just her, not her mama. :B



All in all, it was a wonderfully fun weekend for both Cherry and her mama and they can't wait to go again next year!



The end.

Looks like a great time!! It's fun to see other dolls out and about at conventions making memories!

Thank you! Cherry has gone with me to every MobiCon since I got her in 2k9. This is the first year I was able to take pictures of the event live. I would have liked to take Johnny, too, but it was hard enough keeping up with ONE doll...besides, MobiCon is very special Cherry/Mama time. Anyway, since I don't have time or $ to do a lot of cosplay myself, I get to live vicariously through Ri-ri's cosplay.

It was interesting that she was the only doll, ball-jointed or otherwise, at the convention this year. She was definitely made much over and half the vendors in the dealer's room wanted to look at her. It's times like these that I'm grateful Cherry's made of durable vinyl and not fragile, stainable polyurethane.

I'm still giggling over the fact that my doll made the news. I couldn't find a copy of the segment online, but if I ever do, I'll link you guys to it.

Looks like it was a lot of fun for you both. ^_^ Love seeing all the photos.

Looks like you had a great time!

What fun!

I haven't been to a con in over a year. Looks like a blast! Also Sailor Moon karaoke in the Star Wars room. Perfect!
