Do your dolls reflect your own ideals of beauty?

I think yes. I will dress them as what I think is beautiful.

 

My MNF is the only doll I have who I wish to spoil so that she can become beautiful
Everyone have different views on what is considered beautiful, and I, myself would never dress as my MNF. Her character is very gentle and modest, and she feels at home in large, poofy ballgowns, like a shy princess. I Think it looks pretty, and she'd probably look great in everything but everyone should dress their dolls as they see fit some may think it's quirky, pr even ugly, but they're ours, so why care, if it makes us happy

 

Actually yes. All of my dolls reflect my ideals and beauty.

 

It's kinda hard for me to make an unappealing character,lol.
So,yes,all my characters are different yet all have an ideal beauty in my head,which attracts me.

 

Yes. My dolls are chosen in accordance with my ideals of beauty. If I were to have designed myself, I would have chosen similar features for me to live with.

These features are usually pristine, not-necessarily-human, and unusual, but they are just what strikes me as the paragon of beauty. I think defined noses are lovely. I think stark white hair is incredible. I think slender fingers are gorgeous. I'm predictably drawn to these same things over and over, and I recognize them as being my ideals.

Would I buy a doll that didn't fit into this image? No. I honestly wouldn't. I want my entire collection to be pleasing to my eye. I allow for some "wiggle room," and I like a large number of sculpts, so it's not like every one is the exact same. They are all just beautiful by my standards.

Does this represent some insecurities on my part? Is there a part of me so fundamentally concerned about my lack of perfection that I try to vicariously enjoy perfection through BJDs? I think there is. I think that's one of the reasons the hobby is so satisfying for me. It's my chance to indulge in the pinnacle of humanoid beauty, since I can't be that myself.

I think I subconsciously compare myself to my dolls, but not to the extent that it makes me depressed. I believe it's a comfort to associate myself with them. After all, they're only so beautiful to me because I helped them to be that way. Even their perceived personalities are extensions of myself, so I get to take credit for that part, too.

So in summation, my dolls' beauty reflects my ideals of perfection, and I get to live the fantasy of perfection through them.

 

I think in a way, yes. I find natural beauty to be the most beautiful, so my collecting is very natural. Except for my punk rock girl of course. Heavy make up lol I find everyone beautiful in their own ways, though.

 

Some of my dolls reflect my ideals of beauty.

Some of my dolls also reflect my ideals of creepy and a whole lot of other looks as well. I couldn't limit myself by just looking for 1 type of thing.

 

All of my dolls reflect my idea of beauty! That said, I find many different things beautiful. I do tend to prefer a more natural look, which is reflected in all of them, but some do have heavier make up than others. I LOVE red-headed green-eyed dolls, and so I do have a few of those hanging around but I don't consider them necessarily the same kind of beauty. I'm not so much for blue eyes and blonde hair (perhaps because that's what I have) but I did choose that for a couple of my dolls because it can be very beautiful.

It's nice when a blank doll tells me who she is immediately, but a lot of times that changes in bits and pieces as the faceup progresses. My Kestrel turned out to be a plain, natural beauty, while Alla'Leia is more of an active natural girl next door. Persephone on the other hand is a classic storybook beauty. So it depends on the doll, but they're all something I find beautiful. If I don't like the direction my faceup is taking I'll try to change it or wipe it, because it's not fitting what I find attractive.

 

Of course they do. I only buy dolls that are gorgeous in my eyes, never would I buy a doll that doesn't seem to be the most beautiful doll ever in my eyes. That also goes for creepy stuff, I find creepy fascinating and beautiful

 

In my case, I'd say no. My dolls (well, singular for now, but including the ones I'm planning on buying) are based on characters in a story I'm writing. Some of them are pretty, sure, but some are just average, and I have one who is, in fact, described as being ugly, and I'm definitely planning to get him as well (as soon as I can find a doll that can be made to look ugly). So I base my choices on if they look like the character I imagine (regardless if that characer is pretty, ugly or average), and then I call it pretty if it fits

 

I guess its a little bit like having children - your child can be butt ugly, but to you because they are yours and because of their character they are still beautiful in your eyes, if in noone else's.x

 

Definitely yes. I think that my girl is very beautiful but someone might disagree because what looks beautiful for me, doesn't look beautiful for them. I'm still hoping to get dolls of main characters from story I'm writing but I'm still not sure how my heroine should look like. I see her in some anime characters but they aren't her and it's a bit frustrating.

 

I'm still waiting on my first doll, so although he's not physically put together yet, conceptually he's already done. His character is a hodgepodge representation of several dear friends in my life; I'm taking a few characteristics from each and melting them together. Some of the physical characteristics I've chosen to display on my doll would not necessarily be my idea of "beauty" but the stories behind them are where the beauty lies for me. If that makes any sense.

 

Yes!! And most definitely that ideal is Feline. I would love to be a cat like Luna Tamer or Lillycat Cerise!

 

i definitally have a slight feeling my doll's style (whenever i get him) will just look/take off mine. i want him to have long hair with a shaved side maybe. it would be so beautiful!

 

Oh, yes. When my doll is finally complete, she will pretty perfectly reflect my idea or beauty, on the inside (her character) and the outside. Her clothes- gorgeous and preppy yet not flashy. Her face- proportionate and normal yet something to be noticed. And her character, well, that's kind of a different story ^u^

 

I think for they most part they are but like someone else said they also start to look like the characters I have for them. Of course those characters were created by me to be beautiful but they also have little idiosyncrasies in their appearance that I don't always think are beautiful as I develop them but for the most part I do feel that they portray my ideals of beauty

 

Guilty as charged >w< most of the dolls I'm ogling at are really handsome and buffed. And the characters in my mind are too many to count.. the idea comes off spontaneously once I get the doll and an ideal character is born into them

 

yes, my girl is definitely what I think of as "beautiful". Some people may disagree (or say that she looks like 'x' or 'y') and that's ok, they have their opinion and I have mine, she's mine so all that matters is that I think she's beautiful.

 

Most definitly. I always thought that men look best when they are of age 13~17. And subsequently, most of the dolls I buy or interested are very good looking boys who looks about 13~17 years old.
