Weird things non-BJD owners say

My Grandma calls my dolls "Inuyashu" or "Inniyashu" LOL! She knows that when I was younger (and still do) I liked this anime called "InuYasha," but she could just never say it right. So everything I do - cosplay, go to conventions, read a book, order a doll, she asks me, "How's the inniyashu going?" XD It gives me a good chuckle.

 

There are too many, I can't even remember half of the hilarious responses I've gotten!
I think some of the funniest are in regards to, of course, the anatomy of BJDs. The first time I was sewing clothing for my DD girl, my mom's boyfriend walked in. She immediately beckoned him over and insisted he look at my dolls huge boobs!
Everyone gets confused when I say something about changing the hands or eyes or when the wigs fall off. However, I can't think of any particular instances to talk about aside from that.

 

My assistant manager is deathly afraid of dolls. Her expression alone is priceless. But she admits that my doll's boots are fabulous.

 

Did I mention my dad wouldn't stop making fun of Avalon's 'doll parts'?

 

Yeah...I don't even let my family see my doll completely naked from the front because my mother was already stunned seeing my doll has a butt. = _ =
Do Barbie dolls not have butts or somethng? I thought they did, and I had those as a kid.
"HE HAS A BUTT? LOOK, HE HAS AN ACTUAL BUTT. IT LOOKS SO ROUND. WHAT THE HECK."
I feel like I'll give someone a heart attack if I flipped him around.

Oh and once a cashier asked me if s(he) talked. Uh. Yes, of course my doll talks. What. = _ =

 

I got an envelope in the mail and was very happy since I was sick and it arriving made me feel a bit better.
Mom was on the couch, sick as well, and asked me what was in the envelope.
Which I replied 'two new pairs of eyes'.
She kind of freaked because she's thinking glass eyes like a human without an eye would wear (like my step-dad's friend) and I had to explain they were for my eventual doll.

 

My mom always calls my MSD 1/4 Boy a girl because he is so pretty. I also named my boy Seiya which means purity and purify, but my mom always makes fun of me because in Cantonese it sounds like Sei -Ah , to die or death.

 

"I don't think he cares about his wig he looks quite comfortable right there." My mother...Seriously I'm not used to her talking like well a doll owner...Weirded me out a little but I'm happy she's been more into it...She also is nagging me to photograph Avalon more.

 

When I told my dad I'm getting a big doll he pointed at my MSD and said 'What? I thought THOSE were the big ones!'. Guess I forgot to explain the sizes to him. My mum, a doll owner herself, said 'no, that's a mini'.

 

people here often say this to me... aren't you afraid that they might come to life & get you late at night...?

pffttt... like that would scare me or something...

 

My co-worker saw a picture of my JDF Terra the other day and said, "THAT'S SUCH A CREEPY LOOKING EVIL GIRL. LOOK AT THE EYES! Is she possessed!?" (the regular version of my icon picture)

My mom says all of my boys look like girls and told me to either buy an "actual boy" or just get girls. Her suggestion is an Iplehouse EID like Dexter.. But she didn't believe me at first that he was a doll. Maybe she'll change her tune once I get my first girl...

 

One of my friends who's afraid of dolls said "Oh my god they're so creepy! Don't you afraid that they'll get up at night, walked towards you silently, and kill you!"
What can I say, my friend =_= You've watched too many movies =_= And if they could kill me, I would have been dead 5 years ago and wouldn't be speaking to you right now =_= But I can tell she's not the only person who would say this ('cause I remember long time ago someone else had said the same thing to me).

 

I always get stunned by people's question "What do you do with them?"
The answer "I play" usually gets the reaction - O_O
People playing with dolls. Such nonsense! XD

 

I have no idea why the human race is so obcessed with dolls wearing underwear. Every time I have ever shown my dolls to anyone, they immediately, turn them upside down to check, and then remark,"this doll isn't wearing underwear!", as if this was some shocking fact I was unaware of. On the most amusing occasion, a little girl of 6 or so of my acquaintace, did the immediate universal underwear check, (which I shall henceforth refer to as the IUUC ) then remarked, "This little SOB isn't wearing any panties!" I have tried to explain to people that dolls don't NEED underwear, the hygiene issues that are the reason for wearing underpants don't exist, and dolls don't need to wear a bra, because unlike soft human bodies, resin is hard and the shape cannot be improved by a garment, and their breasts are PERFECT anyway. Besides which underclothing is LUMPY and messes up the line of the beautiful costumes I make for my dolls.

 

This happened about ten minutes ago, I set my doll on the mantle above the fireplace to grab a Pepsi. I must have knocked her hands because I come back and they're covering her face, weeping angel-esque. MY 14 little sister announced she doesn't like the doll facing her, it feels as though it's looking into her soul. Which was normal from her. But my dad glanced up and decided that the doll is afraid of heights since she covered her face and I may not set her up there ever again so the doll isn't displeased with the house. My older sister walked by and yelled "Don't Blink" then left.

It's was definitely strange.

A couple of days ago, I left my account here up in my computer to go do some chores. I get back about an hour later and my mother is reading through different threads. Apparently she wanted to check her email and my computer was closer then hers. Either way, she didn't even bother turning around and explained to me that "people say they talk to their dolls, do I talk to my dolls? She would hate for me not to be doing this hobby right" I just was going to pretend the conversation never happened but later I was sewing for my doll and she walked by and 'helpfully' reminded me to talk to the doll so she doesn't get lonely.

 

My friends are fairly amusing. After my roommate got over the initial "As long as they don't kill me in my sleep..." she insists I need a female doll so she can play with her. She giggles when she catches me carting one of them around and goes banana's every time I get a new package. She often teases me about my 'motherly glow' and likes to TELL people about my dolls. Random people that I don't know. It's usually something along the line of "Show them his naughty bits!"

I have another friend who jokes about Ten (the only one she's met) "taking him around back and having a good time with 'him'" (insert other rated R jokes here) and every time I see her asks if I've brought my boyfriend. We were at the beach: "Where's Ten?" "At Home." "Aw! I was hoping to see that cheeky ass!" (literally) "I didn't want to get sand in his cracks."

Another friend of mine often responds with "Oh my god! What would -insert doll here- think about that!"
Another texts me photos of random 'things' she's knitting (like a fuzzy throw blanket for their couch) to ask if they will like it.

But mostly they just want to see them naked and spend hours trying to sell me on naked photo shoots... Like... really!?! I'm not so sure I'm the one with the problem.

 

Lol I usually respond with "Oh, it's not me I'm worried about. They like me."

 

My Friends : "Are you coming out tomorrow?"

Me : No.

My Friends : Oh are you having a Dolly day?

This is usually said quite loudly in the pub.

 

I had one friend get a horrified look and scream "I'VE SEEN PUPPETMASTER. I KNOW WHERE THIS IS GOING" Priceless.

 

I love Puppet Master! Everyone makes that connection with BJDs and the dolls in Puppet Master,it's funny. I recently moved my dolls to the bookshelf,and my boyfriend said,"If that evil one gets out you're on your own!" He was referring to Dane,who creeps everyone out for some reason.
