4. Somewhat unrelated, but I totally know one guy that needs a button like that on his keyboard.

THANK YOU.

11 Addendum

[zhoutaisdayoff.livejournal.com]

If I don't have to look at, hear or read another dollfie fantard go on about how they can't pay for the important stuff because they just had to get a goddamned 600 dollar doll, it'll be too damn soon. It's even worse when these webcam-happy idiots post fifty LARGE pictures, compose large fanfics and all that fun shit on their 'dolls'.

An old friend (pheh) tried to get me to buy one of those stupid things. Seeing the price, I was like 'Yeah right. What am I? A money tree?'

No thanks. I'll pick my own poison.

[hagiel.livejournal.com]

I know someone who has a lot of those and can't pay their bills because dolls > bills

11

[kurachu.livejournal.com]

I hate when people complain about not having money because they wasted it all on fandom stuff and saved just enough for bills. It always ticks me off. Especially when they're adults.

Gotta love that play 8D

[melting.livejournal.com]

SO MANY ABOUT DOLLS. lololol

3. lay off the drugs. :D

GOD. YES. WHY. WHY. I DON'T SEE HOW ANYONE COULD BUY THOSE THINGS. EVEN IF THEY WERE CHEAP, THEY'RE FUCKING CREEPY.

Re: 11

[superkappa.livejournal.com]

I totally agree. Those things are out to steal my soul. T_T

[cresselia.livejournal.com]

Wow, two doll secrets in one post. I am elated.

Ohnoez #11 Just Doesn't Understand!!!11 Haha, seriously though, I get so amused when people say us BJD people are "crazy". It's no different from people who spend thousands of dollars on like, baseball cards or something. At least you can actually play with the dolls.

...not like I'm denying being crazy though, nope, not at all. >><<

#10: PIX PLZ, LAWL.

2. OMFG WHAT WICKED DOLLS IN HAPPY MEALS ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?!?!?!? WHY WAS I NOT INFORMED OF THIS?! I must run over to the nearest... McDonald's? What? WHEN WAS THIS?! DX

*spazzes, explodes*

[noms.livejournal.com]

Naw, Wizard of Oz dolls in Happy Meals. :P They've got Glinda, Elphie, and Nessarose, though. :3

I saw 'em and went "I WANT." Paid with a debit card. For a doll. That about about a dollar 25. xD;;

[kurachu.livejournal.com]

11. SRSLY! Just go out and get a barbie doll like that and make wigs for it. u_u

13. ...D:

[kurachu.livejournal.com]

and 3 is YOSHINO *_______*

[penumbra.livejournal.com]

11. LOL.

[kurachu.livejournal.com]

That's what clay is for. DX

14 - Vandesdelca makes Badtouch Goodtouch. :3

lol, I'm planning on getting a BJD eventually xD But bills still come first, :x

[thepinkangel.livejournal.com]

Colgate Badtouch ♥

[existentially]

11) I live vicariously. A few of my friends have them, and post absolutely gorgeous pictures of their dolls, which I adore. Even if I had that kind of money I wouldn't buy one. I'm content with looking. 8)

...Though, yeah, it is rather insane to spend that kind of dough on a doll. Better than real drugs though, I'd say. If it makes them happy. X);


16) Ditto. Very, very ditto.

[klytaemnestra.livejournal.com]

11. I've wanted a dollfie in the past mainly because it would be awesome for anime figure drawing ... however, if you can't afford one, just don't. I have friends all of whom I love dearly who own several of these now and I have no idea how they pay for them. Likewise, when said friends complain about financial woes I can't really feel much sympathy for them. I've sold a lot of stuff that I liked when I was in a financial bind. Cosplay, doujinshi and even a VOLKs OOAK doll I had commissioned. If you have the disposable income to buy one of them, that's just fine ... but most people do not.

I remember over on the cosplay.com Animazement forum a few years ago they were trying to organize a dollfie panel and one girl commented asking how anyone could afford them and another replied, 'I live on near poverty level and still managed to buy one by skimping on things like food.' Just ... wtf, mate? I'm sure by poverty she means she's a college student going on loans ... does she really need a $600 doll?

So yeah, if you can afford one and such and will continue to be able to afford one in the future, by all means buy it. But don't buy them if you can't afford them and then complain about having no money and refuse to sell the thing to get money.

[shahrizai.livejournal.com]

Definitely. If you can afford it, go for it. But it does creep me out when people who can't afford them go nuts. Especially since if you don't make your own clothes for it you can easily rack up the cost of the doll in wardrobe pretty quickly. Not to mention props. And faceups, if you don't do one yourself. I don't know, I just get the feeling a lot of people who buy them scoff at Paris Hilton and other famous girls with toy poodles that they spoil. Or people with kids who spoil them. It's the same damned thing, people!

[fairyfey.livejournal.com]

2. I'd totally do that.

13. I always just wanted to hit Tritter upside the head. XD But yeah, I guess he was pretty entertaining. My personal wish is that they continue with all the House/Cuddy they've been hinting at. >>

[kurachu.livejournal.com]

13. I JUST WANT THEM TO JUMP EACH OTHER'S BONES. +___+

I MEAN UH yeah I'm with you on that.

[dots.livejournal.com]

LOL. I like how 10 and 11 are right next to each other like that.

[melting.livejournal.com]

I know, 10x11 OTP. XD

[pshhness.livejournal.com]

There's Wicked dolls are McDonald's??

[iverin.livejournal.com]

9. I've been in love with Apolo since the Olympics, too. I have icons of him that I'm going to bust out someday.

[thepinkangel.livejournal.com]

Ohgod share plz D:

[thiskindalove.livejournal.com]

The icon really says it all.

[lessened.livejournal.com]

11. Whoa. Ever heard of expensive hobbies? I didn't think so. ):

[myuki-chan.livejournal.com]

I... I want that doll. D:

#11...

[katsu]

Eh, it's your money, spend it on what you want. Everyone's got a hobby that other people no doubt think is weird. Though my empathy dries up when it's people spending money on dolls instead of their bills.

But christ on toast, those things are fucking creepy.

I don't go to many cons any more. When I do, I spend a lot of time hiding behind a book or staring at the ceiling because people walk around with those things on their shoulders and is creeps the hell out of me. ;_; CREEPY BLANK EYES.

I don't mind if people want to play with their dolls. I've got a couple friends that are in to those (wow I don't get it) but they're nice enough to filter their picture posts about dolls or at least put them behind the LJ cut.

I wish dolls were that easy to avoid at conventions.

Re: #11...

[gallo-de-pelea.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I appreciate that they're so well-made and detailed, but... hell, I had to sell my only doll ($20 Spike Spiegel figure) because I hated having SOMETHING LOOKING AT ME.

Which is also weird.

11

[advocate.livejournal.com]

I have one, and it's the most amazing thing I've ever blown money on.

Or rather, my mom's money. Small details. I love being on crack, apparently. ♥

Re: 11

[shinysilvercoin.livejournal.com]

It's even better when you earn the money yourself! Dorries are crack for the soul.

[stormbringer986.livejournal.com]

11. Seriously. I don't really feel like flaming their pictures (I don't care enough, to be honest) but I think it's ridiculous to spend that kind of money on a doll.
