I have a friend who collects BJD's - she's a sweet person who really enjoys her hobby, which is something she has picked up mostly out of being lonely and bored (she's living in a foreign country to teach english, has been there a year, and can never make friends outside of one or two people that she works with because she doesn't speak a word of the native language).

I understand the appeal of these beautiful things for her to play with, I understand that dollmeets are the highlight of her month at times.

And she would punch me if she heard me say this - but I think those dolls are a waste of her hard earned money that she could be using to save up to make the move to a better place and job. =/

They're very cute, and her photostories are funny and pretty... but when every post she makes on her LJ is about her dolls because she has no life beyond them it makes me sad for her.

It reminds me of a little old woman I used to know who took a baby doll everywhere with her, using it as a surrogate child so that she wouldn't have to deal with the reality of the misscarriage she had when she was in her thirties.

I wish my friend would try harder to find something to do with her time that ISN'T doll related so that she can get out of her slump - but I never know how to say that to her without sounding like a bad friend. =/
