1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Weird things your parents/roommates have said...

Aug 9, 2010

    1. My husband: "Stop taking pictures of me with THAT THING or I throw him over that fence."
      He almost did.
      My daughter yesterday: "Mummy I ll ask Damian if I could borrow his kitty."
       
    2. My friend Across the Hall in the apartments where I live had this convo with me:
      Me: So see, this one is just sort of a doll of a doll, just her own little thing.
      F: I see her as like a sorceress, or some kind of witch.
      Me: To me she's a harmless quiet little thing.
      F: No, to me I see her as evil. Yep definitely evil.
       
    3. When I first got my girl, I stripped her to give her a thorough cleaning(second hand) My mum comes down the stairs and says.
      "oh my god she has really big boobs!'
      then precedes to ask me if she was anatomically correct down there. I tell her yes and she laughs.
      Another time when I did my first body blushing on her and took her upstairs to ask my mums opinion, I happen to mention I wanted to get a boy. She then says
      "is he correct too?"
      Me: I'm sure he is ma.
      Mom: Well they better not make any babies! We don't need anymore running around..
      She was referring to my nephew and niece.
       
    4. My brother was very blunt when he first saw my boy with a very loud: "WHY DOES IT HAVE A D***"

      I fell over laughing

      And now my mom always tells stories of my weird doll to which I reply by bringing him out completely naked and sitting him in the middle of the room until they all shut up about him.
       
    5. My dad recently got into shopping on ebay, so he has a few things he wants, saved to my wishlist. One evening he came in my room to review what he had saved, and the window I had open was of the Elfdoll Hazy ebay auction, and the doll had no clothes or wig on. When he saw it, he said, "You're going to buy a bald headed lady?"
       
    6. "So, have any more boobs coming in the mail?" asked my mother while we walked through Walmart.

      She was referring to months ago when I bought a DD bust piece from Volks. This was her way of asking on if I had any more doll packages she needed to keep an eye out for. xD
       
    7. Me in class with my doll Val. My classmates were curious about him so I showed off his movements and talked about him. RP = Random Person.

      RP: Is he anatomically correct?
      Me: Yes. He has a penis.
      RP: Really?? o_o
      Me: Yes, why do you want to see it or something?
      RP: YES!!
      Me: *strips Val's pants off*
      RP: ._.
      Me: What?
      RP: I thought it would be bigger, I'm really disappointed now.
       
    8. Thanksgiving dinner I brought my Teenie Gem with me to show my grandma and because I knew my mom would bring them up since she loves talking about awkward things I do. I was showing him to my aunt
      Aunt: So how much did this guy cost
      Me: Well that one cost me $250 without shipping
      Aunt:*shoved doll back into my hands*
      Mom: Oh and they have parts (meaning gender parts)
      Aunt: Oh I have to see this *takes doll back*

    9. Well, my girlfriend was playing league of legends while I was cleaning our newest doll. My father enters the room carrying some stuff I had asked him to get for me. Upon seeing the scene he snickers and asks

      "So... Anne (my girlfriend) is fighting in a world war while you are staying home, taking care of the kids?"

      Gotta love the fact that my dad looks upon the dolls as his grandchildren

    10. my Dad doesn't mind my hobby (he even was the one who got me my first doll ^.^) so one day his girlfriend was over and she wanted to see my dolls. So I pulled out Emily (my BBB Pandora) and Shin (DFH Duanyu). My dad has seen Shin a few times but not as much as Emily so this conversation happened next.

      Me: So this is Shin he's-
      Dad: He? You sure he's not a girl?
      Me: Yes dad very he had the parts.
      Dad: *unfazed by what I said* then he's gay?
      Me: NO! He's Emily's boyfriend!
      Dad: I think someone needs to tell Emily that he's looking for something else.

      Lucky for me my Dad's girlfriend butted in and asked me about the faceups and wigs. She got points for that.
       
    11. When I first showed my boy to my little brother he was convinced that my boy was a girl because of his long hair. I proceeded to get into an argument with him that my doll was a boy, and I went to my mother to get support that he is a boy.

      She took one look at him and said "Oh I hope he never goes to jail, he will end up someone's b*tch"
       
    12. I keep my dolls at home, a few of my friends know of them, other than that I keep them to myself rather selfishly, as they are my little inspirations and little happiness when I am alone writing or working on some other hair-brained art project. I do however show a very good friend of mine some of them from time to time while she is stopping by just to see a new wig or something, and she always says one thing. I keep my dolls and many of their things in the doll boxes they were sent in originally as I wouldn't buy second hand without one, and I don't throw them away so it's nice storage. She, however, and this is even with their nicely colored pillows and plush blankets, insists on calling them coffins. I call them beds, and this is under the pretense that I talk about them as if I do not believe them to be little people (which technically isn't true, but it is a personal thing that I do not talk about the dolls when others are around as if they are alive as not to freak people out lol), and then she gets this pitiful look on her face, and says they probably would prefer somewhere else to stay rather than their coffins...oi...
       
    13. I brought home some dolls from a meet to give baths, tattoos and faceups. I put my purse on the counter (containing two heads) and took them out while dad was heating up a piece of pizza. He turns around, sees two heads on the counter and balks.

      "You had... heads... in your purse?"
      "Oh, yeah, I'm giving these guys faceups!"
      "So they don't have bodies?"
      "No dad, my friends just gave me the heads."
      "I'm locking the bedroom door tonight."
      "Uh... why?"
      "I can just picture them rolling up the stairs and then parking themselves in front of the door and waiting for me." Then he walked away.

      I was like, "...uh...?" O_o

    14. Mom: I need a username for your testing for school. Use your dolls' names
      Me: O-O
       
    15. When I was working on a friend's AoD Hun Dong, I had him laid out on his back to paint his chest... and every time, without fail, when one of my fiance's friends walked in, it was always the same question "Does that doll have a d***?"
       
    16. Oh lord. This thread is made of perfection.

      The other night in the car:

      Mom: Please don't...do weird things with your doll when you get him.
      Me: What...? Like what?
      Mom: Like...taking pictures of him.
      Me: But that's the fun of it! You like to look at pictures of them with me...so what do you mean?
      Mom: Well...I saw a picture of one...-shifty eyes-
      Me: Oh God what did you google?
      Mom: J-just 'ball jointed doll' or something! And it was a boy one! And he had his shirt off and was sitting...in a...a... provocative pose or something!

      I laughed until I cried.

      Then this evening, I was on the bjd tag on tumblr, and apparently my stepdad was watching me.
      Stepdad: That's real scary.
      Me: What is? -looks at tv thinking he meant that-
      Stepdad: Them dolls...
      Me: Oh! Well, that's what I'm getting for Christmas, so. -shrugs-

      Then he went silent rofl. Christmas morning will be GOLD.
       
    17. I just got a DOI body in the mail today and I'm completely in love with it. My Mom came into the living room, sees me drooling over it and asks me "Do you wanna be alone with him?" :lol:
       
    18. My dad was helping me with my boy's coat but I was filming it so when he found out he said.
      "*Cough* well I uh don't know how to put a coat on.":lol:
       
    19. My mum hates the dolls: she can just about manage my tiny Lati's but even Yo-SDs freak her out. On top of that I order in a lot of wigs, so I'm constantly getting messages on the phone like this one:

      "Chloe, there's another ridiculous box here and I'm opening it... OMG it's full of SCALPS, UUUUUURRRRGGGH!!! *over dramatic vomity noises* UUUrrrrgggghhh!!"

      :P I think it's funny... wish I could have them out more though.
       
    20. Not that funny but my dad is freaking out because of the "size" of my dolls. Everytime I bring them downstairs hé gets All "OMFG THOSE BOOBS!!! They are so huge! How can you like this??" -that's just how the company sells her, Dad. I didn't get her because of that.
      Similar discussion happens about my IH boy's junk >.> xD
