Going to a Meetup

Christie: Have any of you ever been to a doll meetup?
I never had, but last weekend I got to go to one.

It was mostly for something called "BJDs"
So I got to meet a few new dolls!



These guys were pretty cool customers, but they were nice enough to let me hang out with them.

Next there was this little one... we... uh... didn't really hit it off:


There was also this funky little troll:


I think he liked me!


There was a girl riding an elephant (although when I asked for a ride she said no... so I am just going to focus on the elephant -_- )


And finally, I wasn't able to talk to them, because they were in a glass case,
but there were some old relatives hanging about :)

  1. You know Christie, I've never been to a doll meetup. On May will be the Italian Doll Convention in Milan and I want to go so bad and meeting all the awesome italian dolly people I met only online. Every single member of my family don't allow this. Hope everything gonna be ok

    1. Christie: Yes, that elephant was really cute... I really wanted to ride him :(
      And my dress is quite lovely! It's a Fashion Fever, back when Mattel gave Barbies good clothes *weep*... I'll be making a post about the dress on Sunday :)

    1. I have to say, you're a pretty awesome mom for encouraging her XD
      This particular blog is mostly Barbie stuff... I have another blog, http://majokkoshop.blogspot.com where more BJD related stuff will show up (I have Dollfie Dream girls, a Lati Yellow, a Real Puki and a Volks SDGR Boy that make appearances on that blog :) )

    1. Oh yes they are! "SD" sized BJD are 1/3 scale, "MSD" sized BJD are 1/4 scale... those are the sizes of my Dollfie Dream that I'll post on the other blog. I love these bigger dolls quite a lot, but a huge reason I love the Neemos and Barbies is how portable they are XD

  7. I've never been to a dolly meetup, but it sounds like you had a great time. I don't collect BJDs, but your pics are awesome. I love the last pic of the vintage Barbies! :-)

    1. Yes, the girl who hosts the meet collects many types of dolls, and she's got a whole cabinet full of vintage Barbie, they're all beautiful 0_0

      BJD are a very expensive hobby, LOL, Barbie is much safer, if you can believe it, hehe!

  8. I love BJDs, they sometimes look very sad but so sweet! I have never seen one with my own eyes, you're very lucky!
