1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Guilty pleasures

Mar 12, 2017

    1. What do you consider a guilty pleasure in the doll hobby? Do you have any you indulge in?

      Mine are "pretty" boy dolls, and for the longest time I always thought they were kind of lame. It seemed every other collector had a boy body with a girl sculpt and a rainbow wig. Now it's all I want! I've really come to fall in love with the idea of this little tender boy all done up in bright colors, it just seems so cute!

      So tell me yours!

    3. My guilty pleasures are YoSDs, and dresses and heels.

      YoSDs: In my real life, I don't really care much for kids. I don't want any and I have no warm fuzzy feelings in regards to human children. But I love YoSDs and I like seeing my adult characters with their kids. :sweat

      Dresses and heels: I can not picture myself in a dress or heels, but I love dressing my dolls in dresses and heels. (At least those of them, who would wear it :whee:)

    4. Fancy and often expensive outfits! I have so many dresses, fantasy suits, and fullset outfits, that I'm scared to add up the amount of money I've spent on all of it. But gosh, I just love getting them. Nothing feels more exciting (besides getting a new doll of course) then a big outfit arriving in the mail and dressing up a doll in it.

      Clothing wise for myself, I rarely buy anything new, and I go about in plain old casual stuff. But for my dolls they must be dressed in their fancy outfits, complete with matching shoes and wigs. :)

    8. Tiny bottles. I've only got one doll at the moment, and thankfully she lives in a world where old style bottles would have carried most liquids (and other herbs and supplies as well), but darn her collection is getting ridiculous. I most partial to coloured bottles and as much as dollar stores are cheap, it's not that hard to rack up a lot of funds worth of tiny pieces of glass and corkage ;)

    12. LOL!! SAME! :sweat I love to surf online for doll clothing, wigs, eyes, shoes, etc etc and kept adding them into my shopping cart but I rarely checkout! They will just keep on accumulating until I decides to filter them and finally purchase them but of course still leaving quite a handful of them laying around in the cart. :sweat

    16. I indulge in fiber and fabric.

      I prefer natural fiber (especially Suri), and I (like probably everyone else) prefer pre-prepared fiber (already washed and brushed). I've just decided I'm willing to pay the extra money so that I don't have to do the preparation myself (because it's a huge pain).

      As for fabric, I've always been a fabric hoarder, and it hasn't stopped with BJDs. I like very specific fabric types with a preference (in general, but with a few noteworthy exceptions) for natural fiber, which tends to be more expensive.

      I worked as a costume tech/designer in college for the dance and theater departments, so I have less of a tolerance for the problems which result from cheap fabric (cheap ≠ inexpensive; inexpensive fabrics are not always cheaply/skimpily made and expensive fabrics can be cheap).

    17. Tiny food-- guilty because I can make so much of it myself, but I spend more than I should on pieces from other artists anyway.

      Expensive clothing-- I have only spent over $100 on an outfit for me for my wedding and prom, but I spent $200 on a suit for Dhani.

      Cool T-shirts and leggings-- Again, something I can easily sew myself, but I love the variety on Etsy, and I feel better spending more money when buying from another artist than saving money but copying their design.

    18. Sci fi outfits that none of my dolls will wear. :(

    19. fur wigs (fake fur) or it would be if I had more money. I love them and I would totally buy masses of them if I had the money! I would have so many that I could never use them all I'm sure! xD

    20. Urethane eyes and shoes. My dolls' characters are all very set so they don't even need different eyes, but they're just so pretty.
