This time I got a fun thing to share, Fairyland MNF Roller Skates in beauty white! I painted them in a pastel rainbow theme. They are also very shimmery, but I sadly do not have a video of that.

I couldn't leave it there
I did my crankypants post. Now, let me talk about all the things I love about the doll collecting community. Well, some things. Otherwise, I'd be here all day.
Holy shit are you all talented. The customizers, modders, rerooters, crafters, and sewing people - I don't know how you do it. I mean, I have a basic idea, but the time and dedication spent on a hobby that's "just dolls" is absolutely astonishing. Every time I see someone using tweezers to lace up the world's tiniest shoe, I die a little inside - from joy, and from the pain of knowing the amount of time and effort it must have taken to make that itty bitty teeny tiny shoe - that most people won't pay more than $20 or $30 for.
(tiny roller skates really roll!)
And ZOMG you are so damn smart. Pick a forum, any forum, and you will find someone with a damn near encyclopedic knowledge of the sculpts for a particular line of dolls. They can just rattle that shit off from memory.
(someone here can probably rattle off every body in this pic)
Doll collecting knows no race, color, creed, religion, or employer. I've chatted with engineers, doll makers, chemists, computer/web people - you name it. Men, women, NBs, trans and cis, sometimes kids. If you want to learn about different cultures, go hit up Flickr and ask about a picture that interests you. You'll get a fascinating tale of the cultural history that collector is particularly interested in.
(I didn't even know Kurhn dolls were a thing that existed)
The amount of time and dedication it takes to learn to make a beautiful doll, and then the absolute misery of setting up a pre-order, finding buyers, waiting to get your stuff, doing MORE work to put the parts together, all while fielding email after email of "Is it ready yet?!?" means it's a miracle BJDs get made at all.
For my (hopefully occasional) crank posts, I hope there's at least one corresponding post displaying my love for this hobby and the people in it. So here's a post.
Mwah. I love doll collecting, and I love the doll collector community.

Found a pair of Build A Bear roller skate base things at the thrift store! I examined them in a bag and saw that they're adjustable with a screw? So I wondered if they'd fit any of my BJD shoes. They're pretty big/chunky, but they work ok on these pink sneakers!
There was also a hot pink pair in the bag but none of my other shoes look remotely ok in them. Definitely a hit or miss fit.
