So many Dolls, so little time....
It's strange how you decide to get out of one thing,and find yourself getting wrapped up in something else.When I first got into doll collecting,I was under the mistaken assumption,that you had to keep them in their boxes to enjoy them.What was the fun in that?! I liked to play with my dolls!So when I discovered that there were so many other people who enjoyed playing with theirs a well,well to say I went berserk with ripping open those boxes,was putting it mildly.It's great therapy!Anyway, I gradually moved away from uber-glam dolls, to the more play friendly dolls that begged to have their clothes ,changed, hair brushed..in other words ..they begged to be played with!It started with Barbie, went on to the lovely Gene Marshall,then to Tyler Wentworth,and finally culminating into the BallJointed Dolls.I think it happens to everyone at some point or another;finding new focus to our collecting habits.It all starts so insideously..it takes only one,then the next thing you know, you have a whole collection.It's like potato chips, you can't have just one..:)
