Would you lie about your BJD?

But hey! It may be a well kept secret but at the same time you'll have fun and friends overhere while they miss out on that! I almost feel sorry for them

 

Oh no, I tell everyone about my hobbies but I may withhold the price info for a little while if it serves my purposes.

 

Weird thing is I told my parents what I was buying, but they didn't really care. Since I mean I'm old enough to make my own decisions. lol. They were shocked I was spending my hard earned money on a doll though?

 

My boyfriend. I'm pretty sure he'd be weirded out. :/

 

I would never tell my parents how much my doll cost. I won't mind showing them the doll itself, but I know they wouldn't approve of the price, and while I'm adult and can do what I want, I don't really want to bother explaining it.

Other than that, not really. I might not tell it to everyone, but you rarely share every detail of your life with every person you meet. If I talk to someone I think might find it interesting, I'll share it. If not, I probably won't, unless it comes up. I'm not going to hide my doll when I get someone over though.

 

I am an older collector that already had several dozen other dolls. I don't make a big deal of my dolls (I don't take them outside the house) but my friends like to look at them. They tend to be more impressed with the beauty and supposed value of my antique dolls and I have never been questioned about the price of my BJD or other modern dolls. Of course, my friends are much too polite to ask! I don't point her out, or let people handle any of them, so they can draw their own conclusions. My BJD is MSD sized and I dress her similarly to my other dolls, so she doesn't really stand out.

 

Well since I'm 14 i have to rely on my parents to get me the doll i want; therefore they pretty much know . But i know if i were older, I'd just wouldn't tell them rather than to lie.
& if they kept asking I'd go ahead and tell them.
Why?
Because it's something that one likes, we should try to be open and express that, the money is worth it when you are happy with what you get!!!
Know that i think about it... I WOULD go ahead and tell them

 

only about cost to my parents mainly my unoa i recently bought.
I would be dead in a heartbeat X-X

 

I can tell my parents, my dad's into music and guitar collecting so he understands To others I'm always a bit shy though telling the prices of my dolls...although, on the other hand, sometimes telling the prices makes them understand better that it's not a child hobby-thing

 

thats so true ... when i told my freinds about one of them said... "isn't that for little kids" i was just like "what..." but you know humans tend to be that way

 

I don't mind telling my close friends about my dolls. It's not their cup of tea, but they accept it anyway and do show some
interest in them. Not all of my family know yet, because I didn't have the courage yet. But then again, I never actually took a doll
with me when I see my family, so it's never come up either.
I wouldn't tell my parents about prices, though. Or anyone outside the dolly community, that is. They'd freak out, lol.
I don't even want to think about how my boyfriend would respond... He'd probably decide I'm crazy after all and call me weird
for spending so much on a doll.
I do understand people think dolls are expensive. They are, we all know that. But I see it as something I can put a lot of
creativity into and whenever I want to sell a doll I will get a lot of money back as well. Maybe even more than the original price,
if I own a doll that's sold out or something. Plus, I'm not good at saving up money xD So when I achieve a goal this high, I can
be very proud of myself in my opinion.

 

I'm not a very good lier and I do not like to lie. But when it comes to my dolls I really consider their cost to be something everyone is entitled to know. Just as it's non of my business how much other people spend on a hobby that means a lot to them. :-)

 

My family knows that I sooooo into BJDs and they know how much it cost. But I never have courage to tell my friends, I've put my doll pic. as my mobile wallpaper and when my friends saw it some say cute some say creepy, that's why.

 

I'm going to order my first BJD soon, and my dad will be buying it for me. Now, my dad thinks it's cool, but my mom thinks it's a complete and stupid waste of money. She got mad when I spent $40 on a Hujoo. :/ Anyways, my dad told her the doll cost $500 when it's actually near $1000. :P She went crazy when we told her it was $500, atleast she doesn't know the actual cost.

 

I'm very open about my dolls. It doesn't make any difference to me what someone else thinks. I'm not always open about price, but I have a big mouth and sometimes I slip about it when I don't mean to. ^^;

 

I ouldn't tell my family that they even existed. I wouldn't mind friends knowing but I don't think I would disclose the cost of them to anyone. I feel like most people wouldn't understand.

 

To most people I don't lie about it, I just tend not to bring up the subject of their price, but if they ask I tell...
Except for my significant other. Him I'll fib a bit too, and maybe just tell him a lower price.

 

I wouldn't lie, though I don't go around blurting to everyone and anyone about my dolls and how much they cost. My Family knows how much they are, because I discuss my hobbies with them and the issue of price comes up naturally. My boyfriend knows how much they are, he bought my first one for me.

If someone (like my new co-worker, who saw a picture of Abby and was realy interested) asked, about them and about the price, I only told her, that they where "200€ and up ... mostly up " If they realy wanna know specifics, I give them terms for a google search and they can find out themselves.

I am not worried about anyone being nasty to me because of my dolls. A) I am a pretty confident person, B) if anyone is realy going to be so immature about this subject ... well, let them and C) If anyone does not want to except my the way I am, with my dolls and all my other hobbies ... well, thank you very much, there is the door. That may sound a little bitchy or snobbish, but realy, I am beyond the point where I try to please everyone. I am my own person and I can do whatever I flapping please, as long as I do not hurt anyone else with it. I realy do not want to deal with people, that cant accept, what and who I am. I don't expect them to like my dolls, and if they want, they can think, that they are overpriced or whatever, as long as they accept, that I like them and am willing to pay the money for them.

Lotsa rambling, sorry, I'll stop now and wish for a better world where everyone is accepted the way they are

 

I figure that some people think I'm weird anyway. SO it doesnt matter

 

most of my friends out here are my Dollie friends so they know how much these baby's cost, but family LOL hell no!! if they knew what my collection was worth they would kill me on the spot! then again this is also why I live about 1000 miles away from them! my dad likes the one's he's seen .... then again that was last year when I had about 5 and now *looks at sig* um ... yea I still don't think he'll mind but there is no way in hell i'm telling him that just 2 of my dolls adds up to more then they pay on the house! >.<
