I've got doll lust

[twobluestripes]

I can't remember the last time I actually played with a doll, but for some reason I'm attracted to them. Not those scary porcelain ones that people collect in the foofy satin dresses. And I don't want an exorbitant amount of dolls filling my room. It's just that every now and then I see a doll and I'm like, "Ooooooooh, I want to dress her up!"

H-hey I have some of those creepy porcelain dolls ): but they were gifts when I was like 4 from my granddad. They're both lovely looking things though. I think the Blythe Dolls are pretty cute, but if you want freaky go look at a Super Dollfie. They're like 2ft tall! And have a price tag to match, but they're very customizable and some people dress them up so nicely.

Dude, 2 or 3 of those dolls is okay. That's not Clean House status. Some of those people have like 100 of them! I'm always glad when Niecy and crew take all but a few away from them.

Geeze, you're right about the Super Dollfies. They're almost kind of realistic looking, for a doll. I don't get what it is that make realistic looking dolls so scary and fascinating at the same time.

I don't know how much the clothing goes for but some of the clothing they have is so beautiful

... since their arrival, and we might've even gotten rid of them already), but I think they were fairly realistic. I just remember being very creeped out by them, to the point of tears. Really scary little things.

I don't particularly like things you can't play with either. That's one of the reasons I want dolls like these; to dress up and brush their hair, or paper dolls to change the outfits on. The kind of doll I could take with me somewhere if I wanted.

It's funny because I'm not like, a doll person, or a stuff animal person, or anything like that. I just don't have many dolls and I think I'd like a couple to occasionally play with and make things for.
I guess it's cause when I was little I was really into tiny things and miniatures and things like that, but I never had a proper doll house.
