Hello from Boston!

Postby kaybee27 » Sat Jul 09, 2011 4:46 pm

Hello! Intro post time...

I have always loved dolls ever since I was a little girl. First Barbie, then American Girl, then porcelain and then fashion dolls like Franklin Mint/Tonner as I got older. Believe it or not, I have just discovered BJDs.I think they are stunning which I know we all agree on! :D

I saw BJDs for the first time at the Anime Boston convention I went to with my husband. I am not particularly into anime, although I was when I was younger, so this whole BJD thing was like a revelation for me lol.

I have yet to pull the trigger and buy my first BJD. I'm on the fence between a ResinSoul Ya girl and AOD Qing. They are both so gorgeous, not that different in price...sigh. It is just a big first step to take I guess! So in the meantime I am here to learn all I can before I can't hold out any more and just have to buy one!

I also love to sew and knit and I am looking forward to doing it on a small scale.

Just happy to be here - I'll try not to be too n00bish! :)

I confess, a lot of forums (and not just BJD forums) can be intimidating...glad to know this one is so welcoming!

After almost a 1000 posts (gulp) I still consider myself a BJD n00b, yet I completely feel at home here! ;) After all it's not just BJDs here... it's all kinds of dolls. Well, pretty much, lol.

Welcome! And because I'm a shameless nut for BBB/RS, go with Ya! Can't wait to what you decide. :D
A hobby isn't supposed to leave you wistful, regretful and vaguely disappointed. BJD collecting is as customizable as the dolls themselves. Do whatever pleases you the most, because otherwise, why do it at all? All for the 'Gram Bitches love the 'Gram.

Hello and welcome! I always tell people to go with the doll that calls out to them the most - but that being said both your choices are really great for a first doll :) But whichever you choose, don't worry, you'll end up getting the other one after a very short time because, as we often say, BJD are like potato chips - you can't have just one! They like to have friends :)

Welcome to the board! Greyhaunt is right- you can never have just one. And they never follow your purchase plans.
The ever growing wishlist: Hujoo Dana, Obitsu 40, and an army of other Obitsus with anime style heads.
The more expensive end of my wishtlist: Limhwa Half Elf and Elfdoll Soah, my dream dolls.

When they find out you can knit and sew you can expect a clothing list. Have fun
