Musings on Approaches to Dolls and Doll Ownership/Purchasing

[kiyakotari]

I've been resisting an urge lately.

I've been thinking more and more about buying heads that I like, but have no particular attachment to or use for, and employing them as 'extras' in photoshoots. They would have no concrete identities, and would get plopped onto different bodies (and have their wigs/eyes/clothes switched out) in order to become peripheral characters as I need them.

Part of me is mildly horrified by this idea, because of how I interact with my dolls (damnit, I MISS my resin when they're gone), but another part of me is fine with it because they'll be non-characters (and I don't feel the same way about them because of that). I also recognize that (with the direction my photostories and methods have been heading) extras that I can kill off, or have my main crew interact with, are something that I'm probably going to end up needing.

Anyone have thoughts on this idea? Have I finally cracked and need to go have my head examined again? Is it pure genius and I should totally roll with it? Is it just an excuse to buy doll heads (well, okay, I know it's not that, because I don't need an excuse for that)?

Hidey ho... long time, no see. I think the idea to use them as non character characters is a good one. A VERY good one. I think it will add an extra dimension to your already wonderful shoots. And it's always nice to have random people to kill off. I mean characters. Random characters to kill off...

Drop in and say hi to me once in a while. It's not THAT painful... is it???

Oi! Yes, I will have to drop by and see you. Hm....maybe I can manage it this Monday...or Tuesday? Well, we'll see.

We all know how much you'd like to have random people characters to kill off, Chai. **snicker**
