[raumfee]

I don't like:
-Popularity
-Exclusivity
-Portrayals of hurtful things
-Too many dolls!
-Too much realism (eg: graphic anatomical correctness)
-Long hair
-Blond hair
-Barbie and Bratz
-Huge breasts


I do like:
-Individuals
-Familiarity
-Possibility
-The underdog doll
-Eyes that are smaller than the mouth
-Ears that stick out and look real
-Big feet with toes
-Large, lifelike hands
-Simple faces that I can interpret
-Lifelike proportioned heads
-The chance to be creative
-Dolls given me by friends, even if they don't fit my usual likes
-Having something unique, but easily emulated
-Dolls of my characters
-Brown eyes
-Red or dark hair
-Shorter hair
-Candace (my bald, blind barbie)
-Dolls of any of my dislikes who belong to my friends
-Dolls of friends who are 'Real'
-Non Caucasian or Oriental features


Lol. I'll shut up now.

Hey Raumfee! Hi Jai!

First, I can't get that Ebay link to work, but I wanna see it. Item number please?

Second, yeah, it's people's reaction to little Shawnee and the rest of her Goodreau sisters that set off my rage. I don't get it. Seriously, I don't. But that was just the start, from there it went to "Oh, well you play with Obitsus, and what the hell is that cat thing on your blog anyway?"

And for the first time, I found myself backhanded by exactly what you've been describing all along, Raumfee. And I feel so bad that I didn't take you seriously and just thought "well, it can't be that bad because I don't see it." (shaking head)

After I'm finished with the couple of transactions I have going on on DoA I am washing my hands of the place. I have nothing in common with 90% of the people on there because I play with the dolls I LOVE and I don't care what they're made of, how much they cost, or what the nationality of their designer/maker was.

I guess I am just completely shocked that adults who play with DOLLIES could think they were somehow superior because their dollies are expensive/foreign/exclusive/gay-crossdressing-vampires.

GAH! I never fail to give humankind the benefit of the doubt, and I never cease to be completely dissapointed. Every. Single. Time. (sigh)

I am so grateful to have you and Jai, because if I didn't have you two to rant and whine to about this, I don't know what I would do. Thanks for being so different from the other dolly people, you guys. Thanks for loving them ALL and accepting them just for what they are, and for NOT being insane, elitist jerkwaffles like so many others. ROWR!!!

Oiii, I can't get it to work now either. It was a my little pony centaur that wasn't half as cute as Tarna. Here, I made you a present instead. He can come to live on the bio part of your blog. here (http://bunnyherolabs.com/adopt/finish.php?clr=0x1ba217&cn=zerbert&an=wendy&mc=llama%2Eswf).

*gives you a massive hug* Most of the people at that forum aren't adults. They average in the late teens to early twenties range. But yeah. *more hugs* I'm sorry.

Let's not talk about the gay-crossdressing-vampires. I guess I could talk to my webmistress and see if we can't start our own forum... I know I have a database set up...

In solidarity with you guys I'll be giving DoA the ol' eff-you as well. No more participation. The place will stand for me as a resource library/marketplace ONLY. I've seriously been "STFU n00b'd" too many times to even care or strike up conversation/friendship with anyone there.

Hey Wendy, do you use any instant messaging programs?
