to not understand why people collect dolls

[2shoesformyvalentine]

why?

totally with you.
spooky needy and disturbing.

Yuck

MIL has a houseful of scary pretty porcelain dolls and she says it is because she was a child in the war and not v well off so never had any dolls at all when she was a child so she is making up for a deprived childhood. I just have to resist the temptation to arrange them into compromising positions when I visit.

especially these they are just a bit freaky.

why why why???

omg that looked like a rl baby....yikes

Kathy

Can't she move on and treat herself with something else ?

Everything she does is making up for the war. She has the same excuse for eating a lot of butter.
Maybe I should get her one of those really scary baby dolls for Xmas though - they are waaaay better than her porcelain ones.

Sleep well tonight all of you who clicked on the second link...

I agree. Dolls are creept too.

Why do grown ups collect anything? It's sort of odd

'CREEPY'!

OMG that link is v disturbing.

OMG I collect dolls, but they are more like this

lol thay are a bit better.
confesion, we have a whole stack of dolls, as due to my lack of dollys as a child, dd has at one time or other had them all(baby born, tiny tears type) and she won't let me sell them.(but I will)

ah, leave 'em to it.
it keeps them busy, and out of the way of the sane section of society.

Thankfully my MIL was evacuated during the war, to the US where she had a whale of a time and loads of boyfriends, so she feels no need to fill her house with the Scary Stuff.

They're horrible arnt they? I was once bought ONE and everyone decided I was "collecting" them. I ended up with about 8 of the buggers shoved under my bed because I felt too guilty to give them away

I am with Tsar. What is the point of collecting anything?

Why have dozens of the same type of thing cluttering up the place?

Those reborn baby dolls are so weird. I've always thought there was a Dom Joly comedy sketch in one of those (obviously a rather sick one )
