I think a Birth of BJDs Day would be cool! Maybe it would be on the date of the first sale of Volks’s first doll? Since Volks is the company that started BJDs as we know them in this hobby.

Artist Appreciation Day would be nice too, celebrating the artists who create the dolls and all the legit companies.

 

There’s a breed of horse (Thoroughbred) that has a universal birthday. No matter when the horse is born, its “birthday” is January 1 (August 1 for Southern Hemisphere). That might make keeping track of arrivals a little tricky, but we could have a universal “new doll” day where it’s one giant birthday. Call it Arrival Day or something and celebrate any dolls’ birthdays on that. As long as we don’t use it for dating dolls for sale, it could be a lot of fun.

 

I love the idea of Artist Appreciation Day! This would be really fun for a newbie like to follow along with to learn even more about the BJD world.

 

Arrival Day has a nice ring to it! I would celebrate that

 

I second this! That would be cool!

 

I like this idea too, especially if it turns into events that newbies who are curious about can easily join into without feeing too pressured about not having a doll yet.

 

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Pro BJD Artists Day?
I believe it is always the 3rd Sunday of November, which will make it 21 Nov. this year.
On Pro BJD Artists Day, you post a picture of your doll(s) with a supportive message.
(I think this was the first in 2014 https://denofangels.com/threads/pro-bjd-artists-day-november-16th.650049/)
There are many more examples for subsequent years if you search the hashtag #probjdartists or #probjdartistsday on many social media platforms.

 

Ooooh I didn’t know that! That’s awesome and it’s going into my doll calendar!
