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. Czechmix, that is too funny :D

      A couple weeks ago I attended my first doll meet. I was really nervous, and told my husband how nervous I was. His response was "it'll be fine. I'm sure you'll have lots of fun. Even if you don't though it doesn't matter. What matters is that your dolls have fun. The meet is for the dolls, after all..."
       
    2. This thread is hilarious...only on like page 5...but it is great :-D

    3. My mom mused out loud to herself in Japanese "I wonder if she plays with dolls now as an adult because she didn't play with them as a child..."
       
    4. While driving my dad to store I had him hold onto aqua and this happened----

      Dad: So why did you buy her?
      Me: him
      Dad:what?
      Me: it's a boy
      Dad: no it looks like a girl
      Me: believe me it's a guy he's got his bits just like any other boy
      Dad: really I got to see
      Me: no...dad stop don't undress him, it's a boy
      Dad : i'm stripping him *strips him*
      Me: don't.....Dad stop taking off his shorts for the last time he's a boy! *awkward silence as he looks at aqua's junk*
      Dad: he has a penis....well he still looks like a girl

      I love this thread by the way it's so much win ok so here are some others

      when I unboxed Destiny (le angell-studio zhen) my mom asked if she had hairs down there which I said no also she said rather loudly while I was filming "she has big boobs, there bigger than your"

      another instince happened with my roommate when I was walking to the kitchen with destiny to film a bjd youtube prompt

      Roommate: what are you doing?
      Me: going to make a video *walking past her*
      Roommate: with her?
      Me: lol yes ....um...what are you doing?
      Roommate: flicking her off
      Me: why?
      Roommate: cuz she can't *grinning to herself*

      got to love my roommate she's so funny and pretty cool about my doll though she constantly asks me "are you doing something weird with your dolls again?"
       
    5. Well my sister said: your doll looks like he's dead...or like he died, came back to life, got hit by a car and then died again. He's so ugly.

      i didn't think this was funny. at all.
       
    6. In regards to the doll faceup competition at the local convention in a few months...

      Friend: So, this faceup competition involves decorating only the head of the doll?
      Me: Yes
      Friend: And then one displays...the head?
      Me: Yep
      Friend: Just the head
      Friend: ...does it get to have eyes?
      Me: Yeah, and a wig if you want
      Friend: The eyes will help
      Me: Mine are gonna be all white and pupilless
      Friend: The next time I here someone refer to "playing with dolls" in a derogatory manner, I will inform them that the last time I heard of people doing so, it involved a terrifying parade of soulless painted skulls on sticks
      Me: Ehehe
      Me: Though they go on shelves rather than sticks
      Friend: Oh, well THAT'S better

    7. While at work I was speaking to a co-worker of mine who bought some magic cards from me to help me pay for a doll about trying to find a body for a floating head I recently purchased as well. Another guy who sits at the table came up as I was talking about "really needing to find a body that's creepy enough for my new head"- all he could manage was an awkward look before sitting down and staring until I finished talking so he could ask what I was taking about.

      Luckily most of the folks I sit with at work are all utter geeks and nerds so they understand- I mean, when you're willing to drop $200 on a rare magic card, there's not a lot you can say about someone collecting ABJD, ahaha!
       
    8. Oh that is priceless​! :lol:
       
    9. This was actually something my boss said, but anyway...

      I was showing her some pictures of the miniature chairs I'm planning to repaint and re-cover for my 70cm dolls, Gabriel & [FONT=&quot]Élise. Just to help her get an idea of the size, I also showed her a pic of Gabriel sitting in one of the chairs. I showed her the pictures on my phone.

      After I'd showed her the pic of Gabriel in the chair and was going to show her one more of the second chair, she kind of gestured for me to give the phone back to her.

      Boss: "Wait, I have to see that again."
      Me: "Sure."
      Boss: *laughing* "I had to look twice. I thought for a second that he (Gabriel) was a real person."

    10. My mom called me the other day, right after I had posted photos of Elias in his new clothing from a convention that I'd gone to;

      "He's either very comfortable with his sexuality... or a little bit confused."

      It wasn't that weird, but it definitely made me laugh (I was also just really happy that she'd warmed up to him enough to refer to him like that).
       
    11. Some random guy kept insisting that my doll was scary/creepy/evil/not good and that I shouldn't be playing with dolls just because he thinks they're scary. Not exactly new, but it got to an annoying level because he kept telling that to me every single day.

      And people usually ask me if I sleep next to him.
       
    12. :lol: :thumbup


      Dad, seeing two of my dolls sitting on a dresser: "You okay up there, ladies? ... Don't talk much, do they?"

      Well, at least he seems to have stopped seeing them as a mere waste of money. :)
       
    13. Me and my mom had a lengthy discussion on wigs and why certain ones would just not do for Avalon...Her reasoning?

      Her: He'll look flamboyantly gay!

      Me: He is gay. owo

      Her: D8 NOT THAT GAY! *talking about this REALLY girly looking wig, I thought would look cool, she thought it was hideous*

      Me: Okay what about this one?

      Her: Eeeewww....It looks like it's wearing a dead rat!

      Me:..It kind of does. O.o;

      Her: ...Let's take a look at that first one.

      Me: I thought you said it'd make him look even more gay.

      Her: ...Well he is gay. owe;

      We have many strange conversations like this regarding the dolls.

      Also before my dad left he never stopped mocking Avalon's erm..Tic-tac. The stuff from my last post was just from Avalon's first DAY home.
       
    14. My dad is just...so odd...

      Dad: Why do you have her in her box like she is in a coffin!! Do you think of death ALL the time?
      Me: What....


      Like i just laid her in her box so the dog didn't get a hold of her...???
      Dad what?
       
    15. @Whitestag, LOL! DEATH. Yes, dad. I like to pretend my dolls are dead.

      Last night I was watching TV while cutting out papercraft things and Uriah was sitting at the very end of the long portion of the sectional sofa. My little brother came through and fixed something with the aspect ratio of the television for me, then was looking for a place to set the remote, and I told him jokingly that I didn't care what I watched so he could just give the remote to Uriah.

      Bro looks down at the doll and cringes, clasping the remote to his chest like he's looking at a spider's nest, and whispers, "He doesn't need that kind of power."

      Later I was watching a random nature documentary (that I picked -cough-) and my mother comes walking through and pauses to look at the television and at Uriah. "Is he being educated?"

      Me: "Uhh, no... I don't think he cares about bird behaviours and migration."

      Mother: "Well you never know. I think he looks pretty intent. He just might be a bird sort of guy."

      Moooom, what do you mean? xD
       
    16. My sister and I share a room when I'm home and I always have my suitcase in front of my dresser which is what I lay Metta on. Apparently my sister didn't realise Metta was always there and she glanced behind her while she was changing. "She's staring at me, watching me change...It's really creepy." I didn't even glance at either of them and said "You haven't noticed that she is always there looking in your direction? She's been there since I got back." My sister left the room pretty fast after that.

      and my roommate last year when I mentioned BJD's and how I wanted to get one.
      RM: Are they those creepy sex dolls?
      Me: O.o Uh...No. They're pretty small. (I had just seen a friends MSD's and 1 YOSD)
       
    17. My uncle:

      "You GOT to stop leaving naked dolls in the living room, feels like I'm walking in on someone."

      My response:

      "I was sewing for her."
       
    18. I haven't had much experience on weird things yet, other than my mom saying Dollfie Dreams have large...boobs lol, and pointing out my SDGr's "thing" xDDDD.

      Maybe you should...Tell him to stop because it annoys you. If he persists, tell him it is your choice to play with dolls and he has no right over your own choices.
       
    19. When I showed my mom what doll i originally wanted (my plans have change from then), this was when I was first getting into BJD's- she looked long and hard at her picture, paused and said 'Wow shes got giant breasts...' Oh Mom thanks for that :sweat
       
    20. brother: sis, you're weird. you'll never going to get married if you keep that up... those dolls are creepy.. it gives me goosebumps

      friend: i don't believe he's a boy... *in doubt*... (showed him his thingy)... owww... wow... even his thingy is detailed xD

      another friend: omg, its following me with its eyes...!! i'm scared. put that away from me.
