I guess really anywhere I took Ella in Prague. She spent the whole trip mostly hanging out in my purse so technically she went everywhere. Most of the time she was out she was either around theater people or large groups of tourists so no one seemed to notice her until we were in a fairly residential park. She was just chilling on the park bench and kept getting the strangest looks from passerbys. If I wandered away from the bench for a moment (never more than a few yards) people would walk right up to get a better look at her.

I've taken dolls shopping when I'm buying fabric for them, and to work when I really need something cheery there, and to church. I took my Samurai three times after he pushed Sakura off the bookcase. I think it helped.

I take Chae-ri to work with me all the time, and it has ceased to be strange.

A couple of months ago, I was at a convention with her, and went out to lunch with some friends. Of course, Chae-ri came with, and sat right beside me the whole time we were at Olive Garden. We might have gotten looks, but nobody said anything. Not even the server.

I take mine out all the time. My DZ Yuu has become famous in the local walmart, winco, and dollar stores. The people at the dialysis center my grandma goes to love my kids too. :) Nothing is too weird anymore to take them to. They've been everywhere.

Lols I took a Cleo and Deuce set to a gay club. I was all "Lol, I'll buy these and go home" but my friends were all "LET'S TAKE YOU TO A GAY BAR" and so I had two dolls in my bag as I clubbed for the first time. That's probably the strangest place any doll has been xD

Kiki and I do this all the time if we are visiting the other. I think the funniest was when we took Nagi, Omi, and Nanjiro (a student came with us, she had to borrow a dollieh) to the Corning Museum of Glass. The lady at the counter looked at us, looked at the boys, and said 'oh, I see you brought your kids.' She even gave us entry tags for the boys to hang on their clothes. ^___^ Take Omi might have been a mistake... when he saw the glass CANNON...

Then there was the time we took Omi and Nagi to Castillo Serrallés in Ponce, Puerto Rico. We had them in the gift shop... the ladies started going nuts over them... then we find we are talking to the lady who manages the place... and before I know (since I can only follow a third of the Spanish), we are being whisked up the staff stairway into the courtyard and various other rooms (where tourists are not allowed) and being permitted to take photos of the boys anywhere we want!

Um... guests are NOT allowed to sit the furniture... the first time we went here, I took a picture of the courtyard from the second story (there were NO signs saying pictures were not allowed) and I got yelled at. If I do go down at Xmas again... we definitely have to go back to the Castillo.

That is pretty funny that she thought the boys were real kids.

Newest strangest place I have taken my dolls to: The fireworks. Picspam coming up in the 1/6th section.

In 2 weeks I get to have the fun of taking my dolls on an airplane for the first time.
A hobby isn't supposed to leave you wistful, regretful and vaguely disappointed. BJD collecting is as customizable as the dolls themselves. Do whatever pleases you the most, because otherwise, why do it at all? All for the 'Gram Bitches love the 'Gram.

The strangest place I've taken mine.... If it counts for transport in a box.... in the subways? On a plane? :lol:

But seriously... I'm kinda tame. Strangest places I've taken mine are Hito to a Park for a photo contest a few years back at JS, and my DF popo, Sweetpea, to the office and my BBB Apollo to a hotel room cause I knew I was going to be bored... (and the new outfit had just arrived and I wanted to put it on him and I didn't wanna wait to put it on him >_> *cough*)
Akihito [DZ Yuu], Red [ED Red], Sweetpea [DF Popo], Apollo [BBB Apollo], Reli [B&G Sharon], (phoenix) Efriete [B&G Afra], (human) Efriete [Migidoll Miho], Seth [Migidoll Ryu], Horus [Obitsu 50cm].

I take my girls everywhere. Shopping, Visiting friends and family, I don't work but I would probably take a 1/6th as a pocket baby. I tend to use them as a sort of security blanket. One reason why I took my girl when I went into the hospital. Nothing more comforting then having her next to me in the bed. I even took one of my 1/6ths to a funeral. (Seeing the side of the family I hadn't seen in decades, including my bio dad) Haven't done planes or trains (ever) but long car trips, sure! Walking to the park, no problem. I leave my apartment, one is with me.
