Surprisingly Positive Things People Have Said!

That's so sweet Velgar, I'm really happy for you.
I know how parents can be. ._.


I haven't gotten much bad feedback from anyone But my parents,
At first people were shocked by the price and what not,
but When they saw my little Cadence all I heard was
"Oh so gorgeous!"
"You're right, it is worth the money"
ect.

I've brought her to school occasionally for a Fashions class I'm in to make her clothes and other than the "OH ITS CREEPY" comments
people have been very nice and very interested.

 

*Coughs*
I haven't yet even told the price... *Innocent buffing, since he has never learned to whistle*
I mentioned to my brothers that it cost couple of hundreds...
"Two hundred from a thing like that? Well. You do what you like with your money."
Heee... ^^'

 

Parents suck.
SURPRISINGLY. My -friend's- parents are supportive of EVERYTHING the girl does.

They look at pictures of our dolls and joke, "At least you're not smoking pot. XD"

 

Actually that two hundred thing was his thought from my words. It was around six hundred or so to tell the truth...
Soooo...

 

Me neither. Least now that I have bought four of them in just a half a year. Don't know just how surprisingly positive things my folks are going to say after my second arrives...
Two of them went to my friend who can't shop online too much (no cards).

 

I always downplay the price of anything I buy whether it costs 500 or 50....my Mom still thinks that I paid 400 for my Miyu. (it was closer to 600)...I wonder what I will say after Feanor arrives...he is close to 800.

 

The final costs are always so hard to remember...
...
What now with one of my shopping sprees ending with over one thousand dollars...
Good thing euro is stronger, otherwise my creditlimit would have snapped.

 

I think one of my favorite reactions i've ever gotten was when I went to the bowling alley to play DDR and this 15-16-or-17ish-year-old guy jumped off the machine, and started hopping up and down saying how Emilie was "the coolest thing he has ever seen EVAR". And then he said that we should trade socks. [We were both wearing striped socks. xD;;] But then he had to go home right away...but it was still really super awsome fun and it made my week. 8D

I love when people who arn't "suppost" to be into dolls according to modern society start hopping up and down saying how neato they are. 3

 

yup Feanor is on layaway When I saw that sculpt...I seriously fell in love!

She may find out the price anyway since one of her longtime coworkers (as in 20 something yrs) who collects dolls wants to see my doll and is considering getting a BJD. (I am going to point her at Iplehouse...my personal favourite for realistic females) I'm so happy that someone I know personally is showing interest in them....even if they may not be into the creative aspect of the dolls.

 

If Keeperofshadows hasn't stopped in yet I'm sure she will but I have a story from when we went on a little holiday together and brought Kiyoshi.
We went to Salem for this ghost hunt and it was at night, and me and Keeper where holding hands having a good time and poor Kiyoshi was getting so cold so i zipped him up in my coat so his head stuck out, and this woman was looking at us the whole time, but you get that with BJD's so I thought 'no big' right? Well when it was finally all over with and we where getting ready to get in the car and go home she came up to us and asked about him saying how beautiful that he was, she asked to hold him and everything and I think she really enjoyed him, then she asked if there was a website she could look at them on, I think we gave her the Eluts address, thats where alot of us start so why not her?

 

at a meet we had our dolls all up on the table and someone passing by noticed that both natsuo and I were wearing the same socks and wanted a picture! we had missmatched black/white, pink/white striped knee highs on XD I wish I knew why they were so very amused..

 

Hmm...I've heard LOTS of "Oh, how nice"; people being polite more than anything else. But probably the nicest, most positive thing is something my husband did.

We were attending a meet-up and he was very tired and didn't feel well. I was strolling around taking pics when I spied him looking half dead with Imbri sitting on his knee facing him. He picked her up and started playing with her with a little smile on his face. Tony has always been good about my dolls, but this showed he can and does enjoy them as much as I do.

It's not so much what my little brother said...more what he did. Little D (my bro) is only 7, and up until the other day he's always been really MEAN to my dollies (though, he claims to want a dollfie 'like Lala has!'). Well, Matti was standing next to him on the stairs and decided to just pitch forward - you know how they like to do that sometimes, no? Well, Little D caught him...then, sat him down and said, "I think he's tired of standing. I'll make him sit. There you go, dollfie doll!" and then handed him his little bear.

It was the sweetest thing ever - and since that day, he's been really nice to Matti and really likes to play with him!

Well my fiance has been the most supportive of my dollhobby. As much as my friends enable, he helps me really justify the purchases! He got my family and friends together to buy me my first doll, a standard Sooah. AND he got me my Min Del Re for Christmas last year, and is buying me a Shall head for this coming Christmas! I can't really ask for much more than that, but when I'm being silly and waffling on a purchase, he helps me figure out what it is I really want and how to best plan to get it.

My parents are somewhat neutral, but my mother does surprise me by striking up conversations about them now and then, and also dragging people over to see the dolls. She wants me to quit my day job and sew for dolls for a living, LOL, so I guess that's supportive (though 'for a living' means I don't get to spend my sewing earnings on dolls anymore!).
