BJD Meme, yo!

Two! Woo!

3. What are their molds?

4. How long have you been in the BJD hobby?

I don't even know. I've had a doll since Spring 2009, but I discovered and desired a doll for years and years before that.. so I don't know.... maybe 2003? Probably, since that's when I got into anime.

5. Do you RP? If so, who is/was your favorite person to RP with?

Not with my doll characters.(So I'm skipping Q 6)
7. How many dolls have you ever sold?

I have sold 2 bodies. But I've been thinking of selling my current ones.

8. Out of all of those, who do you miss the most?

N/A

9. What is your favorite thing in this hobby?

The dolls of course. They are so gorgeous. I didn't know anything else about the hobby for the years that I wanted a doll. I didn't know there was a community. Sometimes I like the community, sometimes I don't. With the right people, I really like meets, but I'm so-so on them more often than not.

10. Who is the first BJD that ever entered your house/that you ever saw in real life?

That I saw in real life? I don't know. The first that I know the mold of is a DoI, though I'm not sure which. Luke I think.

11. Who is the first BJD you ever fell in love with?

DoT Camine.

12. What is the most you've spent on a doll (the actual doll itself)?

I guess my Miho originally came at 450ish when I had the delf body, but now he has a cheaper body.

13. What is your favorite photoshoot/photo you ever took of any of your dolls?

I have never taken a really serious photoshoot... my favorites are the ones from doll meets in Hawaii.

14. What is your funniest memory with any of your dolls?

When this crazy Chinese lady working at Uwajimaya grabbed Alain out of my hands and ran off the show a coworker. It was a hoot. Def my fav.

15. What is your saddest memory with any of your dolls?

All the times that I feel like I don't like dolls...
Maybe some of the times I've worked on a faceup for hours only to have it not turn out.

16. Have you ever had a dream about your doll? If so, what was it about?

Yes but I can't remember them specifically.

17. Which BJD out of yours would you never sell in a million years?

Neither.. I'd consider selling either of them.

18. Name one thing that makes you irked in the BJD hobby.

Some of the other owners I've met have been so negative about their own or others' dolls. It seems rude, even if they are talking about their own. The person that I'm particularly thinking of had a Soom limited and was going on about how ugly it was (a Breccia). Considering that the doll was not at all ugly, it seemed like she was fishing for compliments. We all do that to a point, but that made me very uncomfortable. Also when the owners start talking about the dolls in a lewd way.. I really hate that. Yes they are anatomically correct (kind of). So are you. Get over it? I feel like its immature to focus on that, but then, I am in America so I guess it's what I should expect...

19. Would you ever consider "leaving" the hobby?

I've considered it. I've taken long breaks from meets and forums.

20. Who is the newest character you've thought up?

I guess who I've been coming up with for Alain.. but I'm really bad at coming up with doll characters.. I just want them to be free to be whoever I want them to be at any given time.
