Guilty pleasures

I'm not in the hobby since very long,but I love to plan outfits, props and furniture for my girl! I also really like going on different sites to see their dolls and outfits so I can plan my second doll. I just have sooooo many ideas but I don't have the time, so I keep planing Oh!! and also look at tiny shoes i would like for my girl!! Their adorable!

 

I would say my guilty pleasure is buying the dolls themselves, especially the more expensive ones. Spending five or six hundred dollars at a time on dolls seems so excessive, but it does give me much pleasure, especially when that package arrives in the mail and I get to "play" with my doll.

 

Oh gosh, the clothes and shoes. My dolls dress a million times better than I do and own more shoes than I do!

 

I collect, um, yeah a little bit of EVERYTHING?!

I collect furniture, too many tea sets, doll sized park benches, tiny bouquets of flowers, dozens of pieces of doll jewelry, TOO many doll clothes, I love doll food. All the dolls own their favorite drink in sweet little wine glasses. I have hoarded cloth for um, yeah, 33 years now? I am getting worse and worse about buying doll shoes (the prettiest pair of pink ballet slippers with ribbon roses came in the mail yesterday)....I want every doll to have shoes in every color of the rainbow....anyone know where I can find bittersweet orange colored classic high heels, or oooooh.... emerald green? In SD and MSD sizes?

But I persuade myself that I am totally in control because I only let myself buy one Iplehouse doll a year.

Next week I am ordering Bichun.

 

My guilty pleasure is... doll-scale things that weren't meant for BJD but work well for them anyway. Teddy bear benches/chairs/rockers that sit MSDs, cups/mugs/"wine glasses" (aka cordial glasses). Sword letter openers. Jewelry boxes that look like dressers. Those little miniature alcohol bottles. My mom once got me 7-Up lip balm because the bottle was in-scale to my MSDs

 

Honestly...

Fetishwear, BDSM/bondage accessories...

A couple of my dolls love that stuff It's a lot of fun when they play with it.

 

Miniature items for dioramas etc. I think I play with them more than my dolls would.

 

Blank dolls! I've kept far too many blank for way too long now but it's somehow very hard for me to give up the idea that the blank ones still have the potential to become ANYthing. Also tea party things, I love to set a scene with 2 or 3 dolls having tea together. If I ever make a larger diorama it will probably be a tea party setting.

 

Girly/Cutesy boys xD im so sorry but its sooo true people with any boys i draw/dolls i get they always at first glance think its a girl just not in a dress unless its like a overly done cutesy boy xD

 

Props for my dolls that go with their story. If I can trick myself into thinking my character would want it, it's sold haha.

 

Window shopping frilly, pretty things for my crossdressing boy who is still in development <_<

 

Another one for window shopping! Just this week, finals stress has driven me to spend several hours researching options for two hybrids I plan to try next year. No time like the present to obsessively compare heads and bodies, I guess? :/

 

for me it's buying clothes/shoes/wigs and heads i probably don't need lol, but even more it's hunting for hours for that one obscure dolly thing that you saw once/thought of and need

 

Miniatures and props! And mindlessly shopping through websites of in-stock dolls, adding them to my cart, and then forcing myself not to buy them. Does anyone else do this? Kinda gives you the feel of buying a new doll without actually going through with it.

Edit: So I read further back into this thread and apparently no, I am definitely NOT the only one who does this. Good. I thought I was weird.

 

It's all a guilty pleasure.

But the guiltiest pleasure of all would be pigtail wigs. Looong, luxuriant pigtails. Can't get enough. I have....at least half a dozen in this style, in varying sizes and colors.

 

My guilty pleasure is buying more wigs than my dolls need.....

 

buying things for dolls/doll sizes i don't even own

 

If looking through lists of clothing and accessories, and then planning outfits is counted as a guilty pleasure, then that would be mine.
That and having a strange obsession with glass eyes, I'd get so many of them if I didn't stop myself.

 

My guilty pleasure is buying fabric with plans to make something nice out of it ... and never actually getting around to it.

My fabric stash is growing exponentially.
Maybe if I could find patterns to fit my DC boys I'd actually get around to using some of that fabric!

 

My indulgence is buying my 70cm+ big boys & coming up with personalities to give them so they become something wonderful to make stories up about. I also indulge in buying them custom made clothing.
