Weekly DQ: #21

This week's Dollieh Question from our list. (viewtopic.php?f=41&t=6677)

21. Have you ever been jealous about someone's doll?

Not really. :/

[E-Beth]

Nope.

[Evelien]

Hmmm. Only in the way of thinking "Omg that's awesome I want that I'm gonna save up for that!!". I think.

-edit- I AM jealous of some people's face up skills that make their dolls look way more awesome than mine. But wanting to do my own faceups is a choice and I'm not sorry I made it... does that count?

[magkelly]

Oh heck yeah. There are certain dolls I dye of envy seeing on the couple of the boards I am on. I desperately covet a real TNT Mod Barbie but never have managed to snag one. I have a holy grail Gene doll that I will never be able to afford that makes me sigh every time someone posts pics of her and I really, really want a Tonner Joan Crawford doll but haven't seen one I can afford as yet so every time I see a pic of her I just yearn, and let's not even talk about how hard I covet all the pretty BJD boys and girls I've seen some of you all display here, lol. There's a difference between envy and begrudging someone their toys though. I'm always happy to see people enjoying their stuff, even if it makes me green with envy sometimes to see it.

[Iwa_Hoshi]

Can't have everything in the world. So no

I would probably admire someone who does great faceup especially if their result turn out to be very close to what I have in mind for my own dolls(at least 2 doll owners here). Or maybe someone who is really good at making props. But I won't get get jealous, at most I see if I can get them to do comission or teach me to do stuff.

If anything i gave up a grail doll in favour of a custom, even when grail doll show up at a later date when I had the resource to get her.

Something would be seriously wrong if a hobby that's meant to help me destress ends up making me upset over what other people have.

[IzabethS]

No, not really. I have dream dolls, but I know that I can't afford them nor justify spending so much money on them on the second hand market either. I'm happy with my dolls.

[Lamia of the Dark]

Yes, I have... some of you have such awesome dolliehs...

<_< not that I don't have a pretty good collection going, myself, but still...

[BadCandy]

I get a total envy on when I see people with 3-4 1k$ doll, mostly because I think about what I could do with that much of a dedicated doll budget..

[yarwel]

Hmm. Yeah pretty much. With my current budget I'm pretty much restricted to what I can find at the thrift store so I'm a bit jealous of people who can afford bjds and other nicer dolls. I would never wish to take away someone else's dolls though; I wish I had the kind of budget to get my own.

[embyquinn]

Sometimes I feel a little twinge of "Ooh, I wish I had a doll like that"...but then I go back to Cherry and she makes everything better. Really, since I got Ri-ri three years ago my endless hunger to get a "holy resin" doll seems to have evaporated. It's not that I don't love my other girls--Meg, Ashe, Miya and Belle--but Cherry fills a void I didn't know existed. I don't know if it's her personality or the fact that she has the most beautiful face I've ever seen on a playline doll, but somehow she's enough for me. If I ever do get a resin doll now, it will be to reshell Cherry. And that can wait because, for now, she makes me happy just as she is.
