Sup!
After a 10 year haitus, I recently stumbled upon dolling again. I followed a retired doll artist (@fiona_Creates, formerly known as Pyrochan) on Instagram the other day, which led me down a rabbit hole. I began scrolling through my old Photobucket account and searching through websites on Wayback Machine... With that being said, I'm so happy to have rediscovered this fun hobby, but also sad to see how much the community has dwindled.
While, I'm sure there are a million reasons why our community has vastly diminished over time, I cannot help but feel overwhelmingly grateful that I got to experience it at its peak. I discovered dolling back in 2007, when I was 10 years old and severely bullied in school. I didn't have any friends, and was struggling to find hobbies that fulfilled me. When I entered the dolling community, my life turned around. I discovered a passion that allowed me to enjoy a life that was awful every time I stepped away from the computer. Thank you all for keeping this community alive while so many of us have fallen off the boat.
I'd love to hear your responses to the following prompts...
When did you discover dolling, and what does it mean to you?
What was the first forum you joined? What other forums were you a part of?
Did you ever create your own website? If so, what was it called?
What were your favorite websites/creators?
Did you ever participate in pageants? If so, which were your favorites?
Are you a part of any other dolling communities outside Pixel Lounge? If so, which ones?
