Adventures With Dolls

From time to time I have a few doll-themed adventures. Sometimes I brought a doll or dolls with me on vacation with me. Sometimes I was selling dolls at local fairs and festivals. And sometimes I was attending a local doll meet-up or doll convention. I don't make a regular habit of taking dolls with me whereever I go because, in the United States, it's generally not socially proper for an adult to be seen in public with a doll. I'm also paranoid about having a doll getting swiped by a young child (which has happened to me a couple of times).

Whenever I travel with my dolls, I tend to bring a digital camera. I write about it and post both the story and photos online as soon as possible after the event ends.

The links that are marked with a bold red asterisk (*) include photos that are not safe for work or school because they contain doll nudity that involve anatomically correct dolls. They also may not be suitable for minors under 18 years of age. Parental discretion is strongly advised when viewing those pages.
