I showed DH those threads and he was hooked! He said if I bought one he would pose it freakily over me while I was in bed so I would wake up with it staring me in the face!

I was thinking how funny it would be to tie a car seat to your roof rack and strap one of those babies in it and then just drive round.

TheYoungVisiter · 04/01/2008 22:12

Hecate, funnily enough when I was little I had one of those (normal style) baby dolls, and was carrying it on the bus. When I saw our stop coming I jumped up to ask my mum if I could ring the bell and let the doll fall to the floor and this old lady screamed at my mum "YOUR BABY! YOUR BABY!"

She was very short sighted and had thought I was holding my baby sister...

From that forum:

"My husband wandered in and sort of shook his head with a smile "

Oh, I bet he did dear!

"Hi Ladies,

Thank you to those of you who posted positively about the Documentary and about me on here....As I've probably said before on other boards, I opened up my heart and my emotions to help contribute towards the making of a harmless film. I am absolutely amazed at the amount of really unwelcomed comments there have been. I thought the Doll World was united, but sadly, it really proves to me that it is not the case....I suppose I see life through rose tinted specs and always look for the 'good' in people.....Can you imagine if I were to have my own TV show! I would be ripped to pieces by the masses I think The thought is nice though.....Thanks girls!

Lainey, you are such a sweetie! Thank you! - I knew that would make a few girls that know me smile.....I just HAVE to have clean wheels on the prams...lol....I've got an off white carpet in my baby room, imagine the wet tyre marks on that on a rainy day Yeah, looks like I do have an Emmaljunga for every occasion.....

xfaithx - I just wanted to let you know, as obviously you don't know me like the other ladies do on here....I do not think this film made me look 'out of my mind'. I was concerned that you think the film made me look dysfunctional! I sincerely hope it didn't! That couldn't be further from the truth as I am sure alot of ladies would tell you here.....I contributed towards this film merely because my Hubby and I were approached at a UK doll show about it, along with lots of other ladies, (but they were unwilling to participate in any way). If nobody contributes, then we don't have a film, and I thought that my contribution was very 'me' and portrayed the enthusiasm that I hold for these works of art. I have to say, my Husband certainly did NOT have be careful to say the right thing to please me......We actually support one another in our hobbies, and I can promise you that we are stable human beings....Those ladies on here who know Terry and I as a couple, will understand where I am coming from....I know it is hard when you don't know someone, you see them in a film and your opinion is formed from that.....Just one last thing.....I certainly am not a child hater....I find that comment very distressing....I absolutely love babies and children, but we chose the childless life because we are too busy enjoying ourselves and pursuing our hobbies.....I wish you the very best of luck if you are starting your Reborning, I really appreciate the art and and if you do find yourself collecting dolls at some point, have fun and enjoy......

Sorry to go on forever.... - Here's a couple of pics of my Hubby enjoying his hobby...."

@ the woman on the forum thinking the film was an accurate portrayal of her behaviour

Bloody hell.

OP posts:
Hecate · 05/01/2008 11:31

She really really thinks she's normal? She seriously cannot see anything bizarre about her behaviour?

Poor woman.

But it is true that when you are, erm, not firing on all cylinders, so to speak.... when you are knitting with only one needle...you are the last person to be able to see it. Her husband really ought to help her though, rather than just encouraging her.

anyone who routinely refers to all other women as ladies and their husband as hubby is already mad anyway imo.

Do you think she actually did the voioced in a demonic possessed kind of way, and without blinking

Staceym21AtLast · 05/01/2008 14:50

sorry but when i clicked on link to baby samuel i acctually gasped!

its all too freaky and odd for me! didnt watch the programme and quite glad i didnt acctually!

3andnomore · 05/01/2008 19:59

I did just watch some of the You Tube clip.....must say, whilst I really thing it's strange....lol...there is a bit in me that thinks that that should have been the thing I should have done...I mean...no waking nights, no grizzling and crying and all that...I can see the positive points, lol!
I do think that those women that actually take their "Baby's" out in a Pram want the attention, and then they are surprised that people think of them as weird

Ripeberry · 05/01/2008 21:39

Reminds me of Queen cats who have fake pregnancies and then use rolled up socks as kittens! LOL

I did, is it her? Why are you highlighting it?
She looks to 'normal' to be a doll freak.

'The Doll World'

Is that in the same solar system as The Elvis Impersonators Planet?

I am sat here crying with laughter! Those dolls are just freaky deaky what would you do if a grown woman walked passed you in the street pushing a doll like it was a real baby?! That woman, buying her doll those disgusting clothes from Harrods! I couldn't even contemplate buying my precious, real life, child clothes from Mamas and Papas! Still, I suppose a doll isn't going to grow out of them. Why on earth would you buy your doll christmas 'pwesents'. Eugh eugh eugh

hippipotami · 05/01/2008 23:36

oops, sorry differentyear, must have looked at the wrong one!

Yes the baby wit teh beer and cig is very

Misdee · 05/01/2008 23:49

have just watyched all of it on youtube. the lady who went to america was clearly mad, and probably dropped that doll herself and cracked her head.

the lady making the dolls was very skilled, and did a wonderful job.

harrys grandma was obviously upset at harry going with his mum, and seemed a bit 'odd'. maybe she will stop at the harry doll and not have any more made.

i have one doll, 'charlie' bought last year by myself as i thought he was very cute, and in a way reminded me of dd2+3 when they were newborn due to his masses of dark hair. he doesnt have his own pram, and sits on a shelf. he has to stay up high othjer wise dd3 will attempt to drag him round by his hair
