Adrian's got a new hobby

Gyaaarh, it seems that Blogger screwed up my old blog account so I have to make myself a new ID.

Firstly, I am a girl; and I call myself Adrian.

After chancing upon Yami's little blog for her interest in BJDs, I decided to make one for myself too ^^

Recently, I've been into Ball-Jointed Dolls or BJDs. They're dolls, but unlike your usual Barbies and Kens, they're bigger, more bisshier and you can customize them whenever you want to suit your liking. In short, BJDs are love =3



:D

I can't remember whose doll this is but it reminds me alot of Adriel!

I can't wait to get myself a BJD. I HAD a dollfie fund of about $400 but I spent it all on clothes (and what not) that I didn't really like after having bought them!

- slaps self -

I hope I'm able to be firm with myself and stop splurging my money. Having a BJD is an expensive hobby.

Hobby?

Yes it's a hobby. Like you play with Barbies and Kens, you do the same with your BJD. And it is expensive because a doll can cost from $300 to over $1000 - and that's without clothes, a desired wig and a pair of eyes.

Firstly, you'd prolly want to get a good camera to take pictures of your BJDs with. Yes, you get yourself a BJD for camwhoring! It's like a photoshoot. And you can even make photo stories with your BJD.

Secondly, you'd prolly not like the way your BJD looks like when it first arrives - without any form of face up and a desired wig and pair of eyes.

And then of course, you would need to get him or her some clothes!

Now here comes the expensive part:

A face-up (otherwise known as 'make-up') would cost at least $50 without body-sanding.

You would probably get bored with having only one set of clothes for your BJD, so naturally you'd want more. So you'll need more $ to get more clothes! D:

Next, you'd prolly want to get props for your BJD to take photos with. For me, I've decided on a guitar or two and a sofa.

Yes all these are not cheap.

Clothes can range for $20 to over $150 a piece. Not forgetting the accessories you might want your BJD to have. If you can sew, good for you. But unfortunately, I can't :(

A guitar would prolly cost about $75 and a sofa ranges from $200 and above.

And also, eventually, you might also want to get yourself another BJD!

Expensive yes; but interesting hobby I'd say.

BJDs are like family. You treat your dolls with the love, care and respect like you would do another human.

They're more than just your typical Barbies and Kens.
