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. I had just gotten my first girl, and was working on making her a dress pattern while my book/crafting group met at my house. They were chatting, and one of them was like: "Bla bla bla...book...yadda yadda need more coffee....bla blaHEY DOES THAT DOLL HAVE A HOOHA???????????"
      My husband piped up, "Is Nim flashing people again?"
       
    2. My dad wouldn't stop making fun of my boy. He even said to my mom "I bet you she won't get him put back together again."

      But I did! "Y'know you should make him a skirt." "I bet he's EXTRA small." ...Then when my parents BOTH chipped in to help tighten his leg joints my boy's pants fell down. "Hey did you know he has a penis?" My mom asked GLEEFULLY.

      "Yeah it's EXTRA small."
      Did I mention they get the most laughs out of the fact he has a weener?

    3. My mom keeps calling my boy a girl and she tells me to get an actual girl doll :| Also I took a bad photo of my boy where his eyes looked black because of bad lighting and my friend told me is demonic possessed :doh
       
    4. The most common one for my mother is: "I have absolutely no interest in those dolls! But you need to buy them underwear...and don't make them sit like that they aren't comfy...no not like that either, now he looks depressed." And then when I left my Mirth at her house on Christmas day while I went to see a friend, I came back and he had magically moved XD
       
    5. My Mom knows I jokingly pretend to talk with or at my dolls, and she usually seems weirded out by the fact but tolerates them because she can see they are just more of my art. This happened while she came to my house and we were packing my dolls for a move:

      Me: I just haven't been able to name her.
      Mom: *regards doll* Her name is Colleen. She told me.
      Me: ?
      Mom: You've had them around long enough, they're talking to ME now!

    6. :lol:

      My boyfriend, helping me put her proper legs back on my girl: "You could paint one brown and she'd have a wooden leg."
       
    7. while sharing my screen with my mother on skype, I was looking at male doll bodies. My mom stared at how anatomically correct they were.
      Mom:"Woah, look at something else."
      Apparently she still thinks I'm a child.
       
    8. I'm in college, and I get to see my Mom about once a month, sometimes less. Every time we meet/talk on the phone, my Mom tells me, "Oh, yeah, I bought a panda for my grandson! When will I see him, so I can give it to him?" She's even gone so far as to request that I bring Alec to lunch with me, so she can see him. She might miss my dolls more than she misses me! :lol:

      My roommate doesn't think much of the dolls, but she does think the anthro-styled tinies are pretty cool. She went to a dollmeet with me a few months ago, and upon seeing a tiny, exclaimed, "Okay, Alec is cool, but where are his horns??" Ever since then, she's been asking me if I'm hiding them somewhere in the room :XD:
       
    9. "Stop moviing Avalon!" = My mom when trying to photograph my boy...He kept blurring up on her on film and then when I took it he behaved himself.
       
    10. I was setting dolls up for a photoshoot the other day and my dad walks up. He stands there a while, watching. Finally he sighs:

      "It's like I live in the pages of a men's fashion magazine. They're just so stylish."

    12. "Put them in the mouth!"

      Who's mouth?

      This guy's mouth:

    13. Mom - "Why is there a scalped and eyeless head on my bed?"
      Dad - "Don't forget your eyes!"
      Mom - "I broke your lion's tail...but I put it back on again" (magnets)
      Dad - "It has hooves? Woah that is kinda fun"
      Brothers GF - "They even have little teeth!"
      Friend - *sings lullaby while walking around with one of my girls*
      Dad - "WHO PUT THAT DOLL UP THERE?! I nearly had a heart attack!"
      Aunt - "It can move everything...!"
       
    14. When I lived with my younger sister, we had to move.
      It was the my first time to move to another city, so I was kind of great worrier at that time.
      When I packed my stuffs, I kept wondering “Oh my god! What if movers from moving company stole my dolls?? what should I do??”

      Then my sister laughed and said, “Don’t worry. They would not even care of your dolls. Those are bunch of rubbish to them.“

      Since then, I‘ve tried to keep in mind that I am absorbed in the totally useless thing. Yes I admit that. Haha.
       
    15. I had explained to my coworker the whole concept of dolls and she was amazed that they were anatomically correct. Later on, my girlfriend had brought her little kid delf girl into the store to pick up materials to make accessories for her and my manager spotted us and became enamoured. While she was looking at the doll, my aforementioned coworker whispered to my manager (in more of a hushed voice but just so customers couldn't hear), "the boys come with a thing down there!"

      That is SO cute! :D
       
    16. I am the grandma with all the dolls and my granddaughter (who lives with me) was just the opposite when I told her they were anatomically correct - 'I'm not looking, grandma, you can't make me.' and when I am changing their clothes she leaves the room. But I wonder if she has ever taken a peek when I'm not around.
       
    17. Omg that totally sounds like something my mom would say. I love this.
       
    18. I don't have much more to contribute to this thread beyond more of the same "It has a PENIS?" stories, but despite being a repository for "weird" quotes, it makes me grin and laugh more than anything else. :D

      I did one box opening in the car by my hubs' workplace (where the post office is), and when I came across the ziplock bag full of magnetic penii, I had to tell him. Of course he drags his coworkers over to look, and one of them screams when I uncover my doll's face. Yeah, that was weird.

      One TSA employee x-rayed a carrier of SD dolls at the airport. She got this really surprised look and squeaks "It's not a flute!" ... A flute??
       
    19. My dad has mistaken my boy doll for an alien and a girl. He also refuses to admit he is a boy, since he is so "pretty". Other people that I talk to about my dolls are usually surprised they are anatomically correct. I would be very embarrassed if someone pulled my doll's clothing off, just to see their "parts". It's like ripping off a stranger's clothing and staring at their private areas x_x; Thankfully, this has never happened to me.
       
    20. Today when I walked into the room where my boyfriend was gaming.

      Me: my first doll shipped. I just got the email.

      Him: *looks up with tears* I'm not ready to have children yet!!


      lol. what?
