You know you're obsessed when...

This is a TRAINEE?! With known attitude problems? Wow, she doesn't care if she keeps her potential job, does she?

And sorry for the rant, but I cannot abide inconsideration, especially when it's intentional. We all are inconsiderate sometimes, but nastiness is never acceptable behavior.

A lot of us there don't know why she wasn't shown the door weeks ago. I'm far from the only person she's been snarky to. I think they're just giving her enough rope to hang herself, personally.

You know, I feel that people (even those usually polite) have an easy time insulting dolls. I think it's just the pop culture around them; adults and dolls = horror movies, or weird kinky stuff. So, I feel like they jump to fear and repulsion. Like, I've shown my Hujoo Berry to friends and family, and honestly she was just an experiment.. she does look like a little troll, with that huge head and eyes x'D but its something that grows on you, I guess. Most of people who've seen her go THAT'S CREEPY MAKE IT STOP LOOKING AT ME.

x'D But I don't get upset, even though they ignored all the work I put into trying to make her look cute.

I guess, in that person you're talking about, they're not too well-mannered to begin with. But I wouldn't let initial comments bug you from anyone, whether they're nice or mean. Society hasn't prepared them to look into an inanimate object and see the life that we see, y'know? Everyone's gotta unlearn things, and in their case, its their fear/repulsion of dolls

People can't help getting their "uncanny valley" reaction triggered, and if it had been something like that it wouldn't have made me so mad. But she said that about Cherry just to get under my skin--which she did, sadly, although I didn't let her know it because that would have just been what she wanted. As I said, I laughed it off, and one of the other trainees called her on it immediately, which actually made me feel pretty good. Cherry has a lot of new friends at work!

LOL! I seriously doubt the Master is being much help there, and poor Eleventy looks like he's getting a migraine.

i actually do get pretty hurt when people insult my dolls, too. i care about them a lot!
still don't understand how taking "YOUR FOOTBALL TEAM SUCKS" as a personal attack is more normal than taking "YOUR DOLL THAT YOU SPEND TIME EFFORT AND MONEY ON SUCKS" as a personal attack.

LOL! The dolls in the picture look like they're sufferin from the same roadblocks as we are... Godspeed to them!

Yeah, I feel ya. And looool about the football thing... I knew a very submissive dude, but once you said somethin about the packers, he'd go full dude-bro. I just couldn't wrap my head around it x'D I guess its how people are raised...

Again, people don't look at it as something that takes effort and all that; all they see is DOLL. But I think, if they're there to see the work-in-progress til the end, they begin to understand. When I got my first BJD, a naked Hujoo Berry in the mail x'D My mom was all, wtf is this??? To desensitize them, while I was sanding her parts down, I would randomly throw her torso and stuff jokingly around at her, making the thing something fun (not that I'd recommend throwing around dolls!)

But after everything--faceup, wig, clothes-- were on her, and I had her sitting against the wall for pictures, my mom passes by and goes, "WHAT, don't put her up against the baseboard.. prop her up, put her in the chair!" I told her I was just taking pictures to just capture her general look (posted them here to get feedback ), and said I don't really care. She goes, "No, I care! Make it nice!"

Needless to say, that was very cute x'D and unexpected. Dolls are an acquired taste for some, and I think everyone has some level of curiosity/affinity for them when the time/place is right. I say that all just to reassert: Don't let 'em get to you! I'd only get offended if they still insulted the doll, after truly knowing the process and work, y'know?

^ Your mom is cute.


I admit I don't really like dolls "watching" me while I sleep, eat or work. Even my own. They have their own space.


But your co-worker was rude. It shouldn't matter what it was you brought, her comment made her look bad. Not your dollieh. <3

[Calivano]

I don't know whats creepier, the fact that my dollieh watches me while i sleep, or that I don't mind her watching me while I sleep...

[Tealove]

Haha... I don't know. Maybe the creepy part is that we both imagine our dolliehs are watching us.

Imagine? What makes you think it's only in your head? ^.~
