Things about this hobby that you find hilarious?

Those of you curious about nipple piercings- yes technically possible to do literally, by actually drilling but it's be terribly FRAGILE.
I have seen excellent results by just gluing the right little studs or rings to either side of a nipple. Do it with a simple water soluble school glue and you could change em out whenever you want a new style.

 

@MaleficentMrsofEvil Thank you for all the nightmare fuel!
Love them all!

 

Those DC male bodies with articulated penises... ;^^ I find them a little horrifying, but they're kind of amusing, too.

 

@MaleficentMrsofEvil a friend of mine once said that a too big head on a too small neck looked like “a baseball cap over a bannister” and I’ve never been able to unsee it, one of the strangest head body combos I’ve ever seen was a larger ID75 size head on a Dollshe Rythmos body… definitely a cursed image

The too small head on a too big neck (like on the dollmore pic) is something I’ve always found so frustrating… had this when trying to hybrid a newer Impldoll Idol man head on an Iplehouse nYID body and I was sure it would fit but alas

 

@MaleficentMrsofEvil yes! I had tried to put my Impldoll Mila head on my Feeple65 body and it didn’t fit at all. I believe the newer Impldoll heads definitely run smaller than the older ones do.

I really wanted to love my Eudora when I had her but that head was wayyyy too small for the old impldoll SGB…

On the topic of hilarious well I once used the magnet from a “fun part” to retrieve another magnet that had got stuck the wrong way round inside a head… worked like a charm

 

I remember this as the infamous "bobble head vs pin head" debate years ago in the DoA forums.

 

Speaking of… years back a company I think it was MiroDoll made a 60cm body with a “thick neck” that was to accomodate EID size heads - the product photo was nothing short of nightmare fuel :’)

 

Having conversations with a fellow BJD owner/enthusiasts in public and seeing non-BJD hear bits of our conversation. Mentioning of body parts especially certain body parts always gets that side eye look from non-BJD people. Heck, I blush sometimes too!

 

The fact that, sometimes, doll clothes may cost more money than human clothes...
I have spent more money on some of my doll's outfits than mine.

 

I just used a mini-iron on tiny jeans...

 

Right??? I thrift most of my clothes! It’s been years since I’ve bought new human sized clothing. Meanwhile, for doll clothes, I’m like “only $50. Score!”

 

Having just removed faceup residue from an old doll I gotta say, it is funny to be scrubbing at a little mouth with a toothbrush while trying to get the pastels out of the deep lip crevices. There is one way to be reminded that I'm just playing with dolls over here

 

Off-topic brand but I have to share that I keep reading "ufdoll is made of abs (as in stomach muscles)" to myself and giggling as I look at the 70cm boy bodies.

 

I was hoping that with all the crossdressing dudes going on I'd find girly shoes for 9cm feet, but nope... out of frame at the end of those lacy stockings they wear combat boots

 

That is simultaneously sad but also very entertaining xD

 

I find funny the fact we are a community that can say. "So I bought this body or this head" or "Let me open the head" openly. In a normal setting, saying something like that without context can be shocking or worrying.

 

Even my 65cm lady dorrie finds it challenging to find girly shoes for her size 8.2 - 8.3 cm feet . Only the shoes that came with her heel feet fit perfect.

 

@Darkness Fatale I'm anticipating shopping for a Dollstown big girl... She'll be tomboyish but I like to change style and yep it's going to be difficult to dress her girly I had high hopes for the lace lads.
For 8-something cm feet, look for Dollmore Model F shoes! They're exactly that size (not all of them, but many are 9cm in length, so 8.5cm feet should work). Pricey but the quality of Dollmore clothes is amazing.

My history is going to get weird with the searches for high heels for uncles...
