I am a collector of dolls and doll parts. I'm rarely creeped out by most dolls, either in real life or in literature, but I know many people who are.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Dolls, perhaps more than any other object, demonstrate just how thin the line between love and fear, comfort and horror, can be. They are objects of love and sources of reassurance for children, coveted prizes for collectors, sources of terror and horror in numerous movies, television shows, books, and stories.
I definitely had dolls when I was a kid. I don't remember being very thorough with them and making sure they got fed in my make-believe world. A lot of Barbie haircuts were given, though. I had a Tamagotchi as well, but I think that thing died really quick. They were hard to do!
I was totally all about the American Girl dolls when I was little - I had so many.
I have collections of quirky things from places I've been to, like a set of Russian dolls.
I have an action figure, and so do my parents, so it's odd that we all have these dolls of ourselves. It's a little bit surreal but kind of fun. You can play with the whole family.
I didn't like Barbie dolls, so I used to have this overactive imagination, and I used to pretend to be all these different things. My weird childhood fetishes seem to have come to life now as an actor.
I do myself up kind of like a doll. I have a doll collection and I look at their outfits and kind of imitate them.
I don't love dolls. I love women. I love their bodies.
I never had a chance to play with dolls like other kids. I started working when I was six years old.
Nothing scares me more than people with some doll collection.
