Strange things and habits you associate with BJDs?

Perhaps for me it is just seeing clothing in the stores or online and thinking, man I wish I could have that in doll size.

 

I associate St. Louis, the city, with dolls because I went to my first and only BJD Con there! I can't drive through without thinking about that con and all the fun I had. Opry Mills Mall in Nashville does too because that's where I went to my first doll meet.

I associate certain songs with certain groups of dolls because I roleplay my doll characters online with my sister and a friend and sometimes a song will be important to the RP. Those stick with me.

Same! Though it goes both ways, I'd like some of my dolls' outfits for myself too!

 

Yes! I need a magic "shrinky expando ray". Make the people sized stuff fit dolls, and make the doll stuff fit me.

 

Money. Just that.

 

If I pass by a place where the lighting is just right, sometimes I think "oh it would be nice to take photos of my dolls here." But otherwise, I guess I associate fall with them. I tend to take them out in the fall for photos. But I also associate fall with comfort and Halloween so take that with a grain of salt haha!

 

There are two parks I associate with dolls, because they're where I would host my annual spring picnic (two, because we moved and had to find one closer to us lol). I also associate a Chinese buffet with them cause I'd host meets there a lot, too.

I associate the Japanese band, Buck-Tick, with dolls because I have a Minimee of the vocalist and that doll is how I met one of my best friends (she saw him on here and messaged me).

A lot of times when I see small toys/furniture in stores I'll wonder if they'd work for any of my dolls. Usually not, though, because I have mostly big boys lmao.

I also associate Christmas with them, because we try to do a family Christmas photo with all of the dolls in the house (which is a lot lol). Have missed some years, though still associate the holiday with dolls.

And, finally, I associate some friends with certain dolls of mine cause they have their favorites lol

 

Gothic horror movies and icons. My introduction to BJDs was Evangeline Ghastly, who's very Elvira and Morticia Addams-esque. Now I associate all similar Gothic media/icons with BJDs.

Also, Alice in Wonderland. BJDs capture the same reality-bending artistic surrealism that AiW has, so I really associate it with dolls.

(I do also associate the Queen's Gambit with BJDs, but that's just because I really want a doll that looks like the main character, Beth, so it hardly counts lol.)

 

Wheelchairs make me think of Vish and his facemask
Clothing definitely makes me think of how cute my dolls would be in them
Same thing with bedroom sets I always picture them in a diorama
Also when I'm winding down to bed since usually that's when my mind does the mos realistic and unrealistict doll related planning

 

I've come to associate Terri's Christmas chocolate oranges with Leon, my Puki Puki Pukisha as a did a photo story of him unwrapping one several years ago. And I now associate one of my Real Puki with the music of Alison Krause and Union Station, since I've listened to the two albums I have of that music many times while working on her still in progress dollhouse. My doll is a tiny Halloween obsessed witch, so the association with Blue Grass/Country music is pretty funny.

 

I used to associate packages in the mail with dolls. And I still feel a little bit excited to see a new cardboard box even if it’s the groceries.
