Weird things non-BJD owners say

My aunt finds it funny when l take about how you can change an obitus head, hands, bust etc. For example l was saying that moka (obitsu 60cm) wanted bigger boobs etc to her. She also finds it funny that l have a bag of obitsu 60cm/48cm body parts.

 

"Hey, did I get any mail?"
"No, are you expecting something?"
"Yeah, I'm waiting for a pair of eyes to come in."
".... What the hell? Eyes?!"
"Yeah... for my doll."
"Oh."

 

"she needs a little more putty for her eyes"

 

My husband, all the time, "It's a boy?! I thought it was a girl!" He also says stuff like, "The first time they try to kill me in my sleep, I'm kicking them out. I've seen Chucky!"

 

When I got my Bobobie Dai my mom took one look at her and said something like "Wow, look at those boobies!"
I'll admit, I was thinking the same thing.

 

Hmm. I'm pretty sure there was a thread like this around here somewhere ("Things you never thought you'd say until you owned a BJD"...or something like that), but I can't seem to find it at the moment....

EDIT: Ah! Found a few similar:

Here and Here

In the first one actually, there's mention of the original thread I was thinking of...but the posted link to it doesn't work. Huh.

 

My favorite clerk at the local Post Office, who's a Barbie collector herself: "It says 'eyes and hands' on the customs form... *grins* There you go, again. Trafficing in body parts."

My brother, during a conversation about my dolls and the "Chucky Issue": "Nah, the big guy with the sword is safe. It's the ones like that guy *points to Teacup (my Elf Shiwoo)* that I'd keep an eye on. It's always the innocent-looking ones that get you."

 

"You need..his head..? Are you a witch doctor or something?!"

My GF always talks about how shes going to walk into my room some day and my doll is going to be posing on the bed. She'll run away and come back and it will be in a nother position. Then she'll run and get me and come back to the room and the doll is like flopped out in stiff non-posing postition. Then i'll express how dolls do nothing unless you ask them to. Then as i leave the doll will go to her feet and stare at her

 

So far the only comments I've gotten on my boy is "That's a GUY??".
... He's not even wearing a shirt so it's not like his gender is hard to tell.

 

My mom today saw my doll's, um, boy bits, and called them his "Tinkerbell." XD She was quite surprised when she looked at him yesterday and saw "it" too. I don't understand why she finds that part so odd. I guess she isn't used to seeing dolls with private parts.

 

Oh! I got one. When I first bought my pipos charlotte, I was so excited I brought some pictures of her to school to share with my friends. In my second period chemistry class, we had some free time and one of my friends asked to see the pictures, so I pulled them out and we started looking and she was "ooh"-ing and "ahhh"-ing over her, when suddenly my chemistry teacher ( a really weird older guy) saw my pictures of her. The picture happened to be this one:



and the first thing he said was, "That thing has human hands!" not in like a disgusted way, but in that kind of kind-of-freaked-out-but-still-curious kind of way. I explained her a bit to him and mentioned she had more animal like hands I could put on her, and he replied, "Oh, well that'd look better."

 

i almost died when this one time (and i really did only dress my dolly in drag once) i dressed my boy dariel in a cute girly dress and took him out to an anime convention and when one of the girls there asked to see him and i let her hold him his skirt suddenly flew up in a breeze showing off his man bits and the girl suddenly exclaimed "omigawd your dollie has a tic tac!"

 

A friend of mine at work knows about my doll obsession and thinks its a riot. The first pics I posted on Facebook of Nim, she responded to with, "Wow...Hey....nice boobs." Now she occasionally refers to her as, "The one with the boobs." She also thought it was hilarious how much doll conversation revolves around dismembered body parts. Like when I got my first pair of eyes in the mail, and had to take them out at work in front of everyone, exclaiming, "TINKA'S EYEBALLS CAME TODAY!"

When I showed Nim to my neighbor for the first time, I told her, "LOOK! DOLL BRAINS!" and popped off her headcap to show her the inside of her head and eye putty and all. She was like, "NOOOOOO MY CHILDHOOD!!! CANNOT UNSEEE!!!!!"
I don't know why that particular thing traumatized her so much.

And I'll never forget, one time I was taking photos of Nim in the park near my house, and a woman came along pushing a stroller. I smiled at her, and she just said, "S'Okay...Long as you're not doing voodoo." And kept on walking like 'whatever, I see weirder stuff every day'.

 

I've been shopping fabrics in this little shop in town that is owned by the nicest old lady. After I had been there a few times, she asked me what I was always buying fabrics for, I told her that it was for these dolls that I collect, I went on and explained that they differ in height, but they largely have adult proportions. At a later time when I went to the store, the lady gave me a link to a Facebook page that supposedly had a lot of patterns on it, I told her again that my dolls weren't baby dolls, but I don't think it registered and I checked out the link, and sure enough it was all about the baby-dolls. I then decided to take my boy Zehelico with me, so that she would see why I couldn't use these websites that she kept recommending, he was wearing the clothes below and in addition I had finished the scar mod on his chest and back. I think he scared her a little, because she kept referring to him as devilish with his grey skin and red eyes, so I told her that they come in all kinds of colours and shapes. I let her handle him and she kept asking if they made boy dolls too, after telling her for the third time that he was a boy, I pulled off his pants and she exclaimed "he's got a tissemann !(pee-pee in Norwegian)" and I just smiled, nodded and paid for my stuff and walked out. It is funny how it is incomprehensible for some people that men can have long hair.

 

So much fun that there are new threads with this kind of subject, since I can no longer find the old one, just like you lot above.

My co-workers all find my hobby very funny, especially when I buy and sell dolly-parts. One of them has taken to asking every once in a while how the "trafficking of body parts" is going and he especially likes to ask with new people around, who go like WHAT? We laugh so hard each time!
