Asian Ball-Jointed Doll Meet-Up
Arundel Mills Mall
Hanover, Maryland
January 13, 2007

(Originally written on January 14, 2007)

Yesterday I attended a doll meet-up at Arundel Mills. I had signed up for it a few months ago, then forgot about it until I saw a notice of the meet-up on the Den of Angels forum and I found my name among the list of those who said they would attend.

So I arrived to the mall an hour early and I walked around the mall as I kept my dolls in a duffel bag. I didn't buy anything even though I did plenty of browsing.

We all gathered in the food court area as we took over a few tables, displayed our dolls, took photos, and socialized with each other. At one point, I left my dolls with the other dolls in order to get dinner from Subway then eat my sub a few tables over from where the dolls were being displayed. (I wasn't about to risk getting food on any of the dolls and be the subject of other people's wrath.) It was a fairly pleasant evening and I met a lot of very nice people (some of whom were people I've seen at previous meet-ups while others I met for the first time). I also took a lot of photos (click on any of the photos to see a larger version open in a new window).

Here are a couple of shots of my own dolls taken the night before the meet-up. (Left to right: Soom Mini-Gem Uyoo, Volks Dollfie Dream, and Orient Doll Ji.)

Here is my gang after they arrived at Arundel Mills Mall for the meet-up. (Soom Mini-Gem Uyoo, Orient Doll Ji, and Volks Dollfie Dream.)

Here are a bunch of photos of other dolls and their owners that I took during the meet-up.
