Hello everyone!
 

Hi all

Just wanted to introduce myself, I've been lurking for a while and wanted to get involved, so to speak!

Whilst I'm not in a situation to ever have a doll of my own (living with my partner of almost a decade, don't think she'd take to kindly to it), It is a fantasy of mine and I enjoy looking at everyone's posts and browsing the girls on various vendor sites. I know it sounds a bit wanky but the main thing I enjoy about looking at dolls is their beauty and craftsmanship; some of them are stunning and we've come a long way from the cheap blow-ups you'd get on a stag do! Their other, er, "functionality" is nice to look at too, though ;)

Anyway I shan't outstay my welcome and thought I'd say hello. Thanks for having me!

Morning CDF, :welcome in from the dark side.

Illumination exists here... :tu

Hello and :welcome
:D

Hi, ClosetDollFan! I was a doll fan for years when I was in a long term relationship. Like you, I enjoyed their beauty and craftsmanship and used to fantasize about having my own. Then one day, my situation changed. A few years later my first doll moved in with me: an air gal. Then my first full size solid doll. When she went another one moved in. Now, I live with Vicky who is a WM166C.
Oh, and welcome to the forum.

welcome to the UKLDF

Totally agree that dolls are artworks and examples of fine sculpting. Like the marble statues of ancient Greece they are there to be admired and if it makes you feel a bit wanky, then that is a bonus in my book.

Enjoy your time here on the forum.

:welcome closetDollfan :tu

Nope, can't see you outstaying your welcome at all. In some ways it's immaterial whether you havve a doll, it's whether you have the right attitude.

There are some who have dolls who don't get it, and some who don't who do. From your into I'm putting you in the latter category until proven otherwise. :tu

You are also completely correct. The craftmanship that goes into these girls is truly outstanding. Some of them really come to life in the right home.

Very much look forwards to chattting and you disappear down the rabbit hole :tu

All the best,

Shamus.

:welcome CDF -nice to have you here!

As Shamus said, it's very much about having the right attitude, even if you don't actually own a doll :)
