Is there anywhere you refuse to take your doll? why?

I would never take Sanyu to a concert or a dance club... I have a hard enough time keeping myself from getting injured and run over at those things... I don't think I'd take Sanyu to an amusement park where you have to set things down in order to ride the rides. I won't take her anywhere where she'll get soaked in water. I'm debating if I'll take her in the snow this year... I don't take her out in the rain. I won't take her to a pool, or anywhere even close to a pool.

I have taken Sanyu to college, work (which is also the mall), and to art stores. I didn't really take her out much at work, but I take her out in various art stores to check the scale of items that I'm buying.

 

Goodness, lets see...

I would contemplate on taking it to work, depending on who's working. My assistant manager is like my big brother. He keeps telling me "Ya gotta show her to me when you get her!" But I don't think my manager would be all too fond of the idea, personally. But that's just because he's uppity about things he doesn't understand.

Since I work at a mall, I guess that would kinda count too. Though, I'd have to feel bold to actually carry her around. Maybe on a monday night when it's slow...

But uh, one place I don't think I'd take her to is school. I graduated from high school a year ago. But I remember how badly they treated me for just sitting. I can't imagine what crap I'd get for taking a doll with me to school. ):

 

I've decided im NEVER going to take my doll to my youth group on wednesdays...they'd kill him i think ;__; not on purpose of course, just out of stupidity -__-;

 

hmm...
I really can't think of anywhere I'd actually go to where I wouldn't take at least one of my boys...maybe the mall >.>
our mall has some scary people that might catalyze damage =/

 

I dont take my dolls out when im on my own i cant handle the looks and comments, but if i have one other person with me im perfectly fine taking them out. Cos i suppose it means that im not the only one getting stared at.

I wouldnt take any of my crew to work either as im a childrens nanny and the kids are very small. They have seen ninde briefly but thats cos they came with me to pick him up from the depot (its down the road from where i work).

I dont think id take anyone to an amusement park either just because there are so many people and the risk of getting them stolen or damaged is just too high.

 

I've only had my boy for about a month, and so far the only places he's gone with me are to the Watchmen premiere, my best friend's house, and to the after school club I attend on Wednesdays. When we go out to eat afterward, I leave him in the car and make sure he's out of the sun and protected. Other than that, he wanders around the house with me as I move from room to room. XD At night, he stays in his box with all his stuffs.

We're off to our first doll meet a week from Saturday, which will be fun!

 

Even if I could take Suzaku to work I would refuse. I work with children (age birth to 18) and many of the children I work with are under the age of 10. She would get hurt with some of my kids. For the most point I keep her out of ares of danger to her and where I can't watch her. Got to keep my baby safe!

 

Hmm, well, honestly, I wouldn't take my dolls anywhere when I don't intend to photograph them or enjoy them. Walking around places with my BJD's for no reason other than to have them feels very silly to me. Not to mention you put them at risk of being damaged or dirtied. Also, while I'm tempted to take my boy (and eventual girl) up to Disney for some photos, I would only do it if I were just going for that purpose and then leave right after. It's a lot of grief to tote anything more than a purse into the theme parks these days, not to mention just carrying them around.

As for places I refuse to take them, well, it depends on what I'm doing. Bottom line, I refuse to take them if I'm not going to use them, and I would only use them to take photos of or some other specific purpose. I wouldn't take them to the grocery store or school or work just to have them with me. They're not toys and I'm a twenty-something. There's a time and a place.

 

I would never take my dolls to a bathroom, or theme park or any places I wouldn't go. Or my sisters house or in front of my English neice. That would be horrible to see again. *cuddles my MSD* Never again.

 

My poor deprived dolls!!! I won't take them out of their display case, I am way too afraid of them getting damaged!!! I am still on the "noob" status, and I am even a nervous wreck when I first receive them, 4 now (I am going to post pictures, I promise), and get their outfits/wigs/eyes on...

 

I'm slowly starting to bring Kori out with me, pictures outside, going to my Uncle's house, a ride in the car, Joannes...

I do want to take him over to a friend's house, but only if its just us, I wouldn't feel comfortable having him with 10 of my clumsy friends stumbling around

I may take him for walks around my neighborhood, but it depends, there's a lot of vandalism going on right now, and the kids who live by me and I go to school with are stupid and immature...not really the greatest environment for my precious Kori...

 

I'm a bit wary of taking him out in public especially if he's going to be in the sunlight. I just really want to take good care of him so I really don't want anything to happen him. However, despite that I think the place I'd be most afraid to take him is University because I'm so afraid of what people will think of me. XD I just KNOW my friends will not understand. I really don't want anyone to say anything bad about my boy especially when I love him so much u___u

 

wow a lot of places. well i don't like taking my girls outside because that = possibly getting them dirty. also there is the issue of the sun yellowing their resin. although this is prolly not going to happen anytime soon, one being polyurethane cause she is pale and the other being french resin but her skin is oriental colored, i still worry about this.

i also am afraid of taking my girls to school although i have done it. i did it recently for a project, and i will be doing it again for another project. i don't like doing it because i freak out about her being broken, having her faceup become damaged, or something like that. O_O

 

The one type of place that really comes to mind quickly for me (especially during meet-ups) that I really feel uncomfortable taking my dolls are inside restaurants. I would hate for a fluke accident to send food, drink or worse crashing down around or on my dolls!

I'm also a bit squeamish about outside shoots. They look amazing, but I'm always worried one will fall in mud or get something else nasty on them!

 

The shorter list would be where I DO take my dolls.

They go to family's houses, in front yards, and occasionally to Starbuck's for a meet-up.

 

I won't ever take my doll to school or anywhere that the risk of her being stolen is high.

 

I won't take my dolls anywhere that I think they'll get damaged or stolen. I will take them to school so long as I am with them at all times, and I am not doing anything messy, for example, I wanted to take Amadeo to school last week, but thought better of it because I had a class in the morning, which I would have had to leave him somewhere before, and then I was going to be in the sculpture room for a while after that, where I was working with plaster, which I can imagine would not be fun to clean off of him.
I will take my dolls to places where I know they will be appreciated, like a convention, or a meet-up. I wouldn't take either of them to work for fear of little kids with their dirty grabby hands, and adults manhandling them while I'm with another customer (they do have a habit of reaching over the counter to grab things that interest them). Hell, if I did ever take one to work, it'd be when I'm working only with my assistant manager, who knows I take my dolls really seriously, and knows how expensive they are (and makes fun of me for it >.<), it would also have to be a slow day, when I won't be distracted from the doll for very long periods of time.
I will take them to friends' houses, but probably never a family member's house.

 

I don't have a BJD yet, but when I get Rikka (hopefully this summer!!!), there are a few places I don't think I'd ever take him.

I wouldn't take a BJD to church, as it would be distracting to me and others during services, and I would be afraid I would offend someone by bringing it in with me. Work is also a no-go for BJDs: I'm a lifeguard, and I'd be too worried about Rikka to focus on my job. I have the attention span of a rodent, so I don't like to have anything on the lifeguard stand to distract me. If I had Rikka up there with me, chances are I'd focus more on him than on the people in the pool. Also, I'd be worried he would fall off the stand in the event that I'd have to jump in and rescue someone. On the other hand, I could keep him with the rest of my things in the lifeguard/staff room, but the room is unlocked (because my boss, fellow lifeguards, and swim team members need to get in there often), and I'd be too afraid Rikka would be stolen or damaged or messed around with. I wouldn't bring a BJD with me to lectures or labs, either: It would be distracting to me and my peers, and I would be worried about it being stolen or damaged.

And there might be a few others I've forgotten, but yeah. I'd love to bring a BJD in public, but just not to places like those I've mentioned.

 

Near children.

Or dogs.

 

The bathroom. xD Cause I mean, why?

No seriously. I don't take my dolls out of my house/yard. I knew someone who got in a car wreck with her Hid in the front seat and he was damaged. So now I'm paranoid.
