The thing is, when people ask us why we who are grown are doing things, they don’t really want to know why. Their goal is just to put us down. Life is too short everyone. Please, love what you do!
That's right and I'm dealing with one of them right now this person obviously doesn't get the purpose of having a reborn baby doll to begin with I had a miscarriage and both me and my partner is struggling to fall pregnant again
People are WAY WAY too judgemental of others....it's just another HOBBY! My husband said, "What about men collecting model airplanes/ships. They go to shows, buy things, etc." Good answer honey! IT'S A HOBBY! There's NOTHING wrong with having this hobby. It also has helped hundreds of elderly women and women who have losses, to heal. I AM A PROUD REBORN MOMMY! Thank you for your video!!!
Exactly I collect reborn dolls because it helps with my anxiety and panic attacks also I can’t have mine own babies! My hubby is supportive of my hobby too he collects model cars, Star Trek figures, transformers & Hockey cards
I love how you stay so calm and professional addressing the ridiculous comments about just having a real baby? Like really? And the judgmental comments about where to spend your money … you spoke well for all of us fellow doll enthusiasts
I was with one of my reborns I created in my stroller, in line at the grocery store, when the lady behind me was in aw of the baby, asking a ton of questions, when I decided to let her know that the baby was a collector artist created baby doll, then she got a little huffy saying " well...why are you pushing it around in a stroller then "??? I simply replied " because it brings me joy". There was no come back after that, she literally couldn't come up with a rebuttel, and I just smiled, and carried on with my wonderful day!
Good for you. I got called a weirdo from a complete stranger, I've just stopped caring about what the haters say, it's no different to me from any other hobbie❤
I thought you were the coolest person before this video but now… you are the biggest ROCKSTAR!! I have had so many people make me feel so strange about collecting my dolls, to the point they are hidden away and I tell no outsiders.. thank you for normalizing the hobby! You are a amazing person and I absolutely love this channel!!
Hi my name is Heidi and I am a reborn doll artist and collector... I was diagnosed with ovarian and uterus cancer and all I can say is that I have been through the same situation where people would ask me if I'm all good from the head???!!!😢 All I say is God bless you and I don't need to give them my reasons of why I role play with my babies... I never had children of my own and YES THIS IS AS CLOSE THAT I'LL BE GETTING TO A BABY... 😢
I am also a Ovarian cancer survivor so yes after the hysterectomy I can't have kids even if I wanted to. But I am happy with being a Furbaby and reborn momma ❤
I’m fourteen and have a reborn baby doll and I treat her as if she’s my real baby. My sister and dad would just take the Mickey and give me all this grief until my mum eventually told me how actually holding a baby doll like this can be really good for mental health and is really therapeutic. She told me how she had her baby doll since she was 21 years old. I just feel like it isn’t even weird. It’s just showing you how you treat your child as a mother in the future ❤🥺🥰
Yup always have and always will!! 🥰. But it was a good release for me to speak my mind after the umteenth repeat comment, and I do think it’s good to talk about since some people can be intimidated by nasty comments from strangers. For a lot of people it’s scary to out themselves out on a public platform. Thank you so much for watching and being a part of the conversation!! ♥️♥️♥️
This whole video was great! I like how you mentioned sports fans, that’s exactly what I say! Some sports fans collect all kinds of Collectable figures and keepsakes. My husband collects lifelike action figures, to each their own! I LOVE that you shared all the art around your house! I too, am an art collector and enthusiast! And thank you so much for the little shoutout with Lil Believer! I loved dolls when I was a little girl as well OMG I loved them so much growing up. The “why not just have a baby” is seriously ignorant omg on so many levels I just can’t with those people. I love that you brought up special effects, that is exact what this art for technically is, special effects lol I tell folks I’m an FX Artist because the word “Doll” seems to trigger people haha!
Thank you, Heather!! You know your voice is one I love most in this hobby, so this means a lot. Your confidence and groundedness and unapologetic ways are such a beacon ☺️.
Indeed, this dolls are awesome artwork. I collect antique paintings, antique furniture, antique dolls and that is the same hobby like collecting reborn dolls - or play with them. It is a pleasure. I love that you honor Lucille Ball - she was very special 🖤
Thank you!! It’s totally a joy. I hit a point - probably in my late thirties - where I stopped having to intellectualize everything, even to myself, and embraced the fact of “because it makes me happy” as explanation enough ♥️
I'm not a collector but I love watching these videos. You are so right! Everyone has their interests. Nothing at all wrong with this! My dolls as a child were not very real looking as these are. These are amazing and there are so many talented people out there. You are lucky to have these babies and such nice people to share your interest. People are ignorant. I have always loved parrots and I have saved many and have tried to educate people. But people look at me and have said "I don't get the bird thing." I don't care - just don't adopt one!
Love the romper Lucille is wearing. I enjoyed the video and you definitely explained it well. People love to dictate what we should be doing with our money. Like you said they don’t know how much charity we may or may not be doing in addition to collecting and it’s none of their business!
Thank you, Serenity! I have had this in a drawer for probably 18 months and finally found the perfect baby for it :). Your channel was probably the single biggest source of learning and “coming up” for me when I first found the hobby, and I’m still grateful for the healthy perspective I got out of it.
My reborns make me smile, and brighten my day. They do bring joy! Why do people expect us to respect and honor them when everything you mentioned that they do is supposed to be acceptable but our love for reborns is shamed? What you stated needed desperately to be said! Thank you and I hope those in my life who keep telling me it’s weird to collect reborns, unhealthy, abnormal, and emotionally and mentally unstable will agree to view this video. I highly respect and honor you for your ability to put the truth about our wonderful hobby in a way that should shut the mouths of those who are cruel to us. After all, what we’re doing is not harmful to others or dangerous, unlike a lot of the habits of others who call it “fun”. I don’t think so!
Just retired a week ago and just unboxed my first two babies 2 days ago. 😂Another on the way! I can’t wait! My kids are grown and I can’t dress my cats without getting us all hurt, so…why not?! Worked with real babies for 30 years. Now it is my turn to do whatever I wish💕
First off, yes, yes, yes to everything you said at the beginning of this video! I absolutely LOVE your responses to these people who are just posting ridiculous comments on your video. It's always blown me away at the outwardly stupid opinions that people think we actually care to hear, when in fact we don't care what others think of our choice in artwork. Period. Art is meant to be unique and also will never be for everyone and that's the point! I really enjoyed hearing your thoughts about this and feel the very same way! I love your choices in art........it really speaks to who you are which I thoroughly enjoy! This was such a wonderful video, thank you for sharing your thoughts about this! xxxooo's
Thank you so much, Kellie! People CONTINUE to comment on having real babies, referencing abortions saying we have countless abortions but spend money on fake babies 🤯🤯🤯 I can’t handle the stupidity and asshole behavior I swear. 😉♥️
I can sum up my feelings for this video and your comments in one word….”PREACH!!!” There are SO many reasons to collect, have and yes PLAY with our dolls (none of which are anybody’s business btw). I’d rather hold one of my babies than have to take my anxiety meds! All hobbies serve a purpose (though some are harder to understand than others). The beauty and joy sometimes can’t be explained. Ask a baseball card collector why they appreciate an extremely expensive, tiny piece of card stock and ink. Or like another commenter said, video games…it’s all the same answer, joy, happiness, peace. Get this…It doesn’t HAVE to make sense!!! If it’s not interfering with your or another’s ability to function in life…who the heck cares WHY!!! My suggestion to your nasty commenters MIND YA OWN!
Thank you for watching and adding to the conversation!! 🥰. I totally agree. It’s surprising to me still how many people have difficulty or have no interest in seeing beyond themselves.
Hello I have UA-cam withhold all negative or bad comments from my channel. I’m not sure if you have that or not but for myself, I can live the rest of my life without reading all the looser comments. I want to enjoy my UA-cam channel so UA-cam holds all those comments. Comments like what you are experiencing are the ones that don’t count anyway. With that being said I love your babies their all adorable ❤
I almost turned off commenting on that video, but then the irony that they are adding to revenue by watching and engaging made me laugh. I’ll put that money towards my dolls 😏🤣♥️
And "a life is 4 days "and everybody has the right to do what want to do and enjoy with things which make us happy regardless of opinions of others . I have my collection of reborns and It brings me a lot of happiness and joy to my life. And I'will don't stop this hobby only for a reason that some people look at me like I'm crazy. Maybe but happy and that matters !!🥰
My own thought about this is it really isnt necessary to explain the reasons why something holds our interest. The person asking is not really asking, but using this moment to make someone feel embarrassed and foolish.
I love the LouLou sculpt too. She is my favorite! Her face is absolutely stunning! A few days before I starting researching reborn dolls, I invisioned what I would want if I would have had a daughter what I would want her to look like. Then I saw another gorgeous version of LouLou on a website and I was blown away! The baby in the pictures was exactly what I had invisioned. I won't be able to get an original but they have some really pretty versions of her on Amazon. She is so gorgeous! I am so in love with reborns now and the desire to be a mother hit me like a ton of bricks when I saw them! I cannot have a baby because I am too old and I have physical disabilities too. I cannot work with real babies either because I wouldn't want to be a liability and accidentally injure a real baby. These reborns are a solution for me. My mother gives me grief about it but once I can get some more money, I am going to buy one because they bring me joy. It will be a manufactured one though because the originals are too pricey for me. I'm brand new to this doll community but I totally love it. The joy and love that women feel when see the babies' faces for the first time on the box opening videos are so endearing. I can relate to it because when I saw the LouLou baby that looked like what I had invisioned, I got choked up. She is my dream baby in doll form! I absolutely love her already! So I say, to hell with the haters! We can do what makes us happy and brings us joy! These dolls can be therapeutic. They are helping me already and I don't even one yet. The way these artists and maufactures are able to capture the realness, innocence. and expressions of babies and toddlers is mind-blowing and so beautiful! They are precious!
Please know, you will not get a reborn from Amazon and I have heard many stories of people being disappointed because it is nothing like the pictures. I highly recommend taking your time and looking on reborns .com. There are many different price ranges and I have found dolls as low as $130. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻.
Im so glad you made this video. Hey some ppl collect bottle caps. Makes them happy right! We collect art! I collect them for the simple fact that they’re beautiful art and I’ve loved dolls since I could even walk. People collect followers on Instagram🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ it makes them full. 🙃
Yes, bottle caps!!!! Can’t get more “because I like it” than that lol. I have NEVER cared if people liked it, or hidden my hobby, ever. It’s odd to me that people are so concerned about what others are doing.
All your babies and other dolls are very lovely and special. You have great Collection. Your paintings are very unique and nice to see. You said everything about collecting dolls very good. This hobby is our joy and happines. These dolls are great art and everyone should appreciate them. Thank you for great words about our hobby...I wish you all the best... Sonja
Sorry I'm late to the party here. This came up in my feed this morning. LMAO!!!!!!.....how about drinking till you puke!!! That was good!!! LOL!! George was not amused either!!! Audrey is beautiful, as are all your other babies!!! I personally don't see sleeping dolls as looking like their dead. I know a lot of people who watch too many creepy movies that get all weird about dolls in general, which is totally absurd to me because I've always loved dolls!!! I love the artwork throughout your house, and the other art dolls!! And yes, you've made an excellent point!!! People need to chill out in their glass houses and stop throwing petty stones. I will always love dolls, and especially this hobby!!!!! Love you girl!!! Stay cool!!!
They do not look dead...thats horrible...they would be blue and so forth. Anyone to make such a comment is the sick one..not us. God Bless you and your beautiful bubs! 😊
Action figures baseball cards and model trains and cars. It is all the same idea. For some of us it brings us joy, comfort and tons of fun. I love this hobby so much!! I carry them out and about proudly. Lol.
What a great video sis. EVERYONE likes to criticize others ways of relaxing but their ways are ok in their eyes. I do love wine tasting so I know which wine I would like to buy.
I just have to make this comment....haha...i can't help it...FIRST OF ALL, why are people "WASTING" their money on VIDEO GAMES???? See, I don't really care. We spend our money on what we choose and it's okay.
I have seen a few babies that have looked dead and it is disturbing but Audrey does not have coloring of a dead baby. I’ve unfortunate had to see two of my children in that state.
I love my dolls. My children respect my collection and my feelings. Name calling is very ugly (weird, freak..really? Adults do this?). Personal reasons differ for collecting and enjoying art. I didn't have dolls or toys for that matter as a child. I have, however, had many lost children as an adult woman- interpret as you may. It is art and it is beautiful. If I were forced to provide an "issue", it would be something silly and simple- I personally dislike wrinkled sheets (personal sensory stuff).... so.. make the blanky smooth?? Not even a critisism. I appreciate the video you shared thank you!!!
I'll tell you what dolls I've always hated. Actual fake looking baby dolls. Now these are a work of ART!. Me, never liking a baby doll my whole life is dying to own one of these. I thinking holding one because of the realism would give great comfort! I have dogs because they make me happy. Ask the haters. What makes them happy? And say we'll keep doing what you do! Life is short and I bet you weren't hurting 1 person correct? And i am an Artist on many levels. Now props to this lady for this! Wow. You seem so sweet. Enjoy your life sweetie!
Well said. And for the guy who said that he don’t take his rifle out and show everyone. If he goes to a gun range he’s taking it out. And I know people at the gun range show their weapons off. Because I go to the range and it be a group off grown men standing around talking about their rifles and things like that. So he’s lying. Anyway good video
Makes you wonder how many of these people, who make all these nasty comments, have tattoos! Hmmmm let’s see, I have many and I love them and their called ART as well! Just like that so more than likely, those people need to take a look in their mirrors
I so want a reborn, I am 46 born with complex heart problems I can't have kids of my own. From the time I was a small child I always wanted to be a mommy.
Reborns, in my humble opinion, are pretty much the coolest thing ever 😉. I hope you find your perfect one. They have become so accessible, especially if you are willing to go secondhand. All the best ♥️
I just want to say this is the best vid ever I have always loved dolls many types I have no control over this but the way you EXPLAINED things was fantastic I have one reborn I got off eBay second hand when she came I could not believe the sheer beauty of her I cried for so long the ARTESTRY is above and beyond tiny weenie eyelashes soft downy hair the sculpt everything yes I would liked children but I didn't happen so why all the haters I dint impose on anyone like u don't drink smoke I have no car I find it upsetting but you made me feel so goodxxxxxxxxx love Warwick England keep being you AND you have really lovely babies and art xxxxxx
I don’t take my dolls out very much but when I do, I get positive reactions when I say they’re not real. People are in awe, they want to hold the baby, etc. This is from both men and women!
Hi, I'm just checking out reborn dolls. I have porcelain dolls from Ashton Drake from years ago. I would love to know where Stevie is from like who made the doll?
WELL SAID FRIEND!!!! SOME PEOPLE are idiots and you are correct...those people that say that do no donate anything to any charity!!!!! I'm tired of it! I will buy th3 dolls I want with nobody's choice but my own!!!!!!
Exactly! I definitely made a point to say “people, not just women” in my video. There are people from all genders and identities that enjoy collecting these dolls ♥️
Lol don’t let our hobby take your mind off God and Jesus worry about how to make it to heaven pray for the real live babies that are going through something in there lives I mean come on what’s important fake babies are real babies get a new life wish who ever it’s best wishes everybody is a freak behind close doors and I think I speak for all reborn mommy’s I had dolls all my life and I birth 6 children of my own and I now have 9 grandchildren the youngest one is my great grand baby I thank the amazing God in Jesus Christ Name that he blessed me with all that I’m and all that I have 💯🙏🏽🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
I love your videos. Happyness from them all. Not a sports fan myself. Yes, I love these babies❤ you make a good point. Keep them coming. I absolutely love this baby boy and the hat❤ but on a girl… don’t get upset I said this. Maybe a brown hat..😊❤
I truly enjoyed your video(s) Not only that… if you are a lot like me and it seem so. I (we) don’t need anyone’s approval for this hobby( for crying out loud 👶🏼😭we are adults with our own responsibilities lol) we both share. One thing’s for sure we are enjoying ourselves in this way and I support this video you made 100%✌🏾🌻👶🏽❣️ We said my friend
Men can have life sized female dolls, action figures, and all that. No one cares about adult barbie collectors, Blythe, and adult versions of other dolls...reborns are just for people who don't want a low quality store doll or a boring porcelain doll. People just want to insult other people. Sleeping dolls have been around for a while, such as those dolls that fall asleep when you lay them down...what doll responds when you touch them? She doesn't seem dead...people be also saying awake dolls are evil since they always stare. I hope I can get my hands on a Remington. Jorja is still reasonable compared to most of these other sculptors who paint their dolls and a lot more flexible with payments.
Also I may need to make some changes in my collection - not sure. Feel free to message me on Instagram about Remington if you are interested in possibly purchasing in the future ♥️
Well I never got eating so much hotdogs as they showed in some shows. How can you eat more than one without puking? But that is their business. I don't have to do it and I won't criticize them either, I wish people would just let live, you know?
That video was the one that brought me here. I dont know why youtube reccomended it to me because ive never seen/looked into it before but 🤷♀️ anyways i thought the comments were a little over the top and definitely rude. Theres many reasons people would so the reborn thing and it doesn't freak me out seeing them. If anything it was interesting to me.
And then there are those that tattoo, amputate their limps, body piercing, cosplay, collect baseball cards, movie memorabilia the list goes on. All is done in fun, for the joy and pleasure it brings. People live and let live, life is short for judging someone for the things they like. Take a good look around your own home and the mirror; you too have things other might judge you for, so let that Sh_t go. ✌️
I have gotten to the age now, where I am not going to bother with justifying the things that bring me happiness, to others. Its pointless anyway...as there are way to many people who feel they are the judge, and the jury, in whatever anyone chooses to do, and to keep them all happy would be an impossibility. So F@#% them, and there opinions...If its not hurting anyone, and your babies bring you joy, then I say own it, embrace it...I like baby dolls, so what?? No one invited you into my space,... if you don't like what you are seeing, then look the other way, and mind your own business, just sayin.
These 'DOLLS' are lovely, thats obvious however, you folks take collecting to a questionable level. We dont treat our skis, pool balls or t.v.'s like they're alive. Perhaps those who have lost children like myself should seek counseling or a support group. Iv seen a woman with a closet and dresser full of clothes pacifiers, toys. She changes their diaoers and dresses them for bed and gives them a bottle. You can't possibly think that's normal behavior by any stretch of the imagination.....Just Saying....🤷
I don’t tear my dolls like they are alive either. I don’t know who y’all is , but realize not every collector has the same reasons or hobbies. Mine are displayed in fairly realistic setting so they look cute and for the photography aspect of this hobby which is huge.
@@RaendomReborns I'm sure you ment 'treat' not 'tear'.( Freudian slip perhaps) ? 'Yall' is a college educated professional in the areas of psychiatry and psychology. I brought up a legitimate question regarding those individuals who have moved to a questionable level of practice with a created object. I see by your name you probably have a business in this area. I'm sure you've seen people of whom I speak. Denying that they may have a genuine problem does them and the 'hobby' a disservice. I feel we're at an impass. This is nearly food for thought. Nothing more, nothing less. Perhaps now is the time to move on. Have a nice day....🌄
It's called role play. There are all types of that too, hmm ppl pretend to be comic book or movie characters, what about furries? What about people dressing up and pretending they are from olden days. People dress up like star trek etc etc. As long as ppl aren't breaking the law, hurting anyone or themselves or abusing drugs leave them alone. Now if you'll excuse me I have to get my reborn ready for bed,lol. More love, less hate/judgement.
@@pennytaylor8761 I Pretended when I was a child with my dolls too.But I didn't try to breast feed them. This is the type of extreme behaviors I'm referring to. (Pay attention). Enjoying your dolls is one thing and good for you folks that enjoy your hobby. But, your "role playing" can go WAY too far. That is what I'm referring to. I'm sure you've seen it with other doll enthusiasts. We need to be able to call a spade a spade and not pretend all behaviors are o.k.....🤷
@@sharonjacobs5351 OK, you got me there. I personly would never breastfeed a doll, that is a bit much. I do change clothing daily, I do have props for them for photos. I have never had the blessing to have my own children and adoption is not an option. These beautiful art dolls at least let me go into a baby section and buy something where before I couldn't even walk by that section in the store without crying. They also help sooo much with depression, anxiety, ptsd etc. Yes I do take them in public and I has a sign that say that is a reborn doll and it is helps with anxiety. I have had all positive reactions. It gives me a reason to talk to people instead of waiting to hide from them. I do agree some ppl can take it to an unhealthy level but not everone is like that.
Men have hobbies train sets and car races and play games on the television for the people that so much got something to say about grown women playing with baby dolls fine you a hobby life is for real too short cause only God can judge anybody and he is not worrying about it ! But if you are worried then go right ahead and knock your self out all the things that going on in this world and you worry about our business go find something else to do we don’t care what you think 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣🥲💯🥱
The thing is, when people ask us why we who are grown are doing things, they don’t really want to know why. Their goal is just to put us down. Life is too short everyone. Please, love what you do!
Always have, and always will 🥰
You are so right i love them so much. You love what u love.
That's right and I'm dealing with one of them right now this person obviously doesn't get the purpose of having a reborn baby doll to begin with I had a miscarriage and both me and my partner is struggling to fall pregnant again
So as soon as I seen these reborn baby dolls I bought one for both me and my partner to just have that experience of having a baby
@@emmarobinson5676 *That is sweet Emma. I am so sorry about*
*your miscarriage. I will put positive thoughts out in the universe for*
*you!* 🙏
This is exactly how I explain why I love dolls. Start asking the haters what their hobbies are, and ask them why they do it.
Totally love that!
People are WAY WAY too judgemental of others....it's just another HOBBY! My husband said, "What about men collecting model airplanes/ships. They go to shows, buy things, etc." Good answer honey!

Your husband is spot on, and I’m glad your partner is supportive. Others aren’t as fortunate on that front and that’s difficult. I totally agree 🥰

All the babies look so peaceful and serene. Very lovely :)
Thank you 🥰
Not a freak. Just someone with traumas and wants to feel better. The dolls help people relax and heal. Leave the people alone
This is a hobby that hurts literally no one. People need to mind their business.
Love the romper Lucille is wearing. I enjoyed the video and you definitely explained it well. People love to dictate what we should be doing with our money. Like you said they don’t know how much charity we may or may not be doing in addition to collecting and it’s none of their business!

Thank you so much!! ♥️
My reborns make me smile, and brighten my day. They do bring joy! Why do people expect us to respect and honor them when everything you mentioned that they do is supposed to be acceptable but our love for reborns is shamed? What you stated needed desperately to be said! Thank you and I hope those in my life who keep telling me it’s weird to collect reborns, unhealthy, abnormal, and emotionally and mentally unstable will agree to view this video. I highly respect and honor you for your ability to put the truth about our wonderful hobby in a way that should shut the mouths of those who are cruel to us. After all, what we’re doing is not harmful to others or dangerous, unlike a lot of the habits of others who call it “fun”. I don’t think so!
Just retired a week ago and just unboxed my first two babies 2 days ago. 😂Another on the way! I can’t wait! My kids are grown and I can’t dress my cats without getting us all hurt, so…why not?! Worked with real babies for 30 years. Now it is my turn to do whatever I wish💕
Heck yeah!! 🥰. Enjoy your new babies!!!
You should get a little dog, they will let you dress them up 😂
First off, yes, yes, yes to everything you said at the beginning of this video! I absolutely LOVE your responses to these people who are just posting ridiculous comments on your video. It's always blown me away at the outwardly stupid opinions that people think we actually care to hear, when in fact we don't care what others think of our choice in artwork. Period. Art is meant to be unique and also will never be for everyone and that's the point! I really enjoyed hearing your thoughts about this and feel the very same way! I love your choices in art........it really speaks to who you are which I thoroughly enjoy! This was such a wonderful video, thank you for sharing your thoughts about this! xxxooo's
Thank you so much, Kellie! People CONTINUE to comment on having real babies, referencing abortions saying we have countless abortions but spend money on fake babies 🤯🤯🤯 I can’t handle the stupidity and asshole behavior I swear. 😉♥️
I can sum up my feelings for this video and your comments in one word….”PREACH!!!”
There are SO many reasons to collect, have and yes PLAY with our dolls (none of which are anybody’s business btw). I’d rather hold one of my babies than have to take my anxiety meds! All hobbies serve a purpose (though some are harder to understand than others). The beauty and joy sometimes can’t be explained. Ask a baseball card collector why they appreciate an extremely expensive, tiny piece of card stock and ink. Or like another commenter said, video games…it’s all the same answer, joy, happiness, peace.
Get this…It doesn’t HAVE to make sense!!! If it’s not interfering with your or another’s ability to function in life…who the heck cares WHY!!!
My suggestion to your nasty commenters
MIND YA OWN!
Thank you for watching and adding to the conversation!! 🥰. I totally agree. It’s surprising to me still how many people have difficulty or have no interest in seeing beyond themselves.
Hello I have UA-cam withhold all negative or bad comments from my channel. I’m not sure if you have that or not but for myself, I can live the rest of my life without reading all the looser comments. I want to enjoy my UA-cam channel so UA-cam holds all those comments. Comments like what you are experiencing are the ones that don’t count anyway. With that being said I love your babies their all adorable ❤
I almost turned off commenting on that video, but then the irony that they are adding to revenue by watching and engaging made me laugh. I’ll put that money towards my dolls 😏🤣♥️
And "a life is 4 days "and everybody has the right to do what want to do and enjoy with things which make us happy regardless of opinions of others . I have my collection of reborns and It brings me a lot of happiness and joy to my life. And I'will don't stop this hobby only for a reason that some people look at me like I'm crazy. Maybe but happy and that matters !!🥰
Once I jotted a note in my notebook: “Crazy? We’re all crazy. It’s those that aren’t that are crazy.” 🤣🥰
My own thought about this is it really isnt necessary to explain the reasons why something holds our interest. The person asking is not really asking, but using this moment to make someone feel embarrassed and foolish.
Very true, very few are actually asking. But after dozens of nastiness, I felt like getting it out of my system. Once every 5 years ain’t bad 🤣
I love the LouLou sculpt too. She is my favorite! Her face is absolutely stunning! A few days before I starting researching reborn dolls, I invisioned what I would want if I would have had a daughter what I would want her to look like. Then I saw another gorgeous version of LouLou on a website and I was blown away! The baby in the pictures was exactly what I had invisioned. I won't be able to get an original but they have some really pretty versions of her on Amazon. She is so gorgeous! I am so in love with reborns now and the desire to be a mother hit me like a ton of bricks when I saw them! I cannot have a baby because I am too old and I have physical disabilities too. I cannot work with real babies either because I wouldn't want to be a liability and accidentally injure a real baby. These reborns are a solution for me. My mother gives me grief about it but once I can get some more money, I am going to buy one because they bring me joy. It will be a manufactured one though because the originals are too pricey for me. I'm brand new to this doll community but I totally love it. The joy and love that women feel when see the babies' faces for the first time on the box opening videos are so endearing. I can relate to it because when I saw the LouLou baby that looked like what I had invisioned, I got choked up. She is my dream baby in doll form! I absolutely love her already! So I say, to hell with the haters! We can do what makes us happy and brings us joy! These dolls can be therapeutic. They are helping me already and I don't even one yet. The way these artists and maufactures are able to capture the realness, innocence. and expressions of babies and toddlers is mind-blowing and so beautiful! They are precious!
Please know, you will not get a reborn from Amazon and I have heard many stories of people being disappointed because it is nothing like the pictures. I highly recommend taking your time and looking on reborns .com. There are many different price ranges and I have found dolls as low as $130. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻.
And thank you so much for your kind comments 🥰🥰🥰
@@RaendomReborns I always look at the reviews too.
Im so glad you made this video. Hey some ppl collect bottle caps. Makes them happy right! We collect art! I collect them for the simple fact that they’re beautiful art and I’ve loved dolls since I could even walk. People collect followers on Instagram🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ it makes them full. 🙃
Yes, bottle caps!!!! Can’t get more “because I like it” than that lol. I have NEVER cared if people liked it, or hidden my hobby, ever. It’s odd to me that people are so concerned about what others are doing.
All your babies and other dolls are very lovely and special. You have great Collection. Your paintings are very unique and nice to see. You said everything about collecting dolls very good. This hobby is our joy and happines. These dolls are great art and everyone should appreciate them. Thank you for great words about our hobby...I wish you all the best... Sonja
Thank you so much, Sonja!! So happy to share them with you ♥️
Sorry I'm late to the party here. This came up in my feed this morning. LMAO!!!!!!.....how about drinking till you puke!!! That was good!!! LOL!! George was not amused either!!! Audrey is beautiful, as are all your other babies!!! I personally don't see sleeping dolls as looking like their dead. I know a lot of people who watch too many creepy movies that get all weird about dolls in general, which is totally absurd to me because I've always loved dolls!!! I love the artwork throughout your house, and the other art dolls!! And yes, you've made an excellent point!!! People need to chill out in their glass houses and stop throwing petty stones. I will always love dolls, and especially this hobby!!!!! Love you girl!!! Stay cool!!!
They do not look dead...thats horrible...they would be blue and so forth. Anyone to make such a comment is the sick one..not us. God Bless you and your beautiful bubs! 😊
Agreed ☺️ thank you ♥️
I couldn't say it better❤
She's so precious sweetie 💕
Hugs and love Nana ❤️ 😍 💖
Action figures baseball cards and model trains and cars. It is all the same idea. For some of us it brings us joy, comfort and tons of fun. I love this hobby so much!! I carry them out and about proudly. Lol.
A new hobby of mine. It brings joy to my heart. I’ll have no more grands than the 1 I have…❤❤
What a great video sis. EVERYONE likes to criticize others ways of relaxing but their ways are ok in their eyes. I do love wine tasting so I know which wine I would like to buy.
I just have to make this comment....haha...i can't help it...FIRST OF ALL, why are people "WASTING" their money on VIDEO GAMES???? See, I don't really care. We spend our money on what we choose and it's okay.
Exactly!!
Pickleball 🤣 We have several pickleball courts where I work, it’s the weirdest “sport”.
Yeah we just have a “coffee and convo” on it at work, and they gave us gift cards to buy paddles 🤣
I have seen a few babies that have looked dead and it is disturbing but Audrey does not have coloring of a dead baby. I’ve unfortunate had to see two of my children in that state.
I am so very sorry. God Bless you hun...
@@reneejordan9540 🥰
I’m so sorry to hear that for you ♥️. Thank you for sharing 🥰
I love my dolls. My children respect my collection and my feelings. Name calling is very ugly (weird, freak..really? Adults do this?). Personal reasons differ for collecting and enjoying art. I didn't have dolls or toys for that matter as a child. I have, however, had many lost children as an adult woman- interpret as you may. It is art and it is beautiful. If I were forced to provide an "issue", it would be something silly and simple- I personally dislike wrinkled sheets (personal sensory stuff).... so.. make the blanky smooth?? Not even a critisism. I appreciate the video you shared thank you!!!
Whatever makes you happy is what’s important. Just ignore the haters.
I'll tell you what dolls I've always hated. Actual fake looking baby dolls. Now these are a work of ART!. Me, never liking a baby doll my whole life is dying to own one of these. I thinking holding one because of the realism would give great comfort! I have dogs because they make me happy. Ask the haters. What makes them happy? And say we'll keep doing what you do! Life is short and I bet you weren't hurting 1 person correct? And i am an Artist on many levels. Now props to this lady for this! Wow. You seem so sweet. Enjoy your life sweetie!
I commented before you started showing your paintings. And I love them!!! I do more aloof the lines of the one w dots on her face..
Love this!
Thank you!!
thank you ive had this convo 100 times
Well said. And for the guy who said that he don’t take his rifle out and show everyone. If he goes to a gun range he’s taking it out. And I know people at the gun range show their weapons off. Because I go to the range and it be a group off grown men standing around talking about their rifles and things like that. So he’s lying. Anyway good video
Outstanding video on an important topic 👏
Thank you love ♥️♥️♥️
Makes you wonder how many of these people, who make all these nasty comments, have tattoos! Hmmmm let’s see, I have many and I love them and their called ART as well! Just like that so more than likely, those people need to take a look in their mirrors
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 totally agree!!!
I so want a reborn, I am 46 born with complex heart problems I can't have kids of my own. From the time I was a small child I always wanted to be a mommy.
Reborns, in my humble opinion, are pretty much the coolest thing ever 😉. I hope you find your perfect one. They have become so accessible, especially if you are willing to go secondhand. All the best ♥️
@@RaendomReborns thank you ,trying to find some it's hard.
I just want to say this is the best vid ever I have always loved dolls many types I have no control over this but the way you EXPLAINED things was fantastic I have one reborn I got off eBay second hand when she came I could not believe the sheer beauty of her I cried for so long the ARTESTRY is above and beyond tiny weenie eyelashes soft downy hair the sculpt everything yes I would liked children but I didn't happen so why all the haters I dint impose on anyone like u don't drink smoke I have no car I find it upsetting but you made me feel so goodxxxxxxxxx love Warwick England keep being you AND you have really lovely babies and art xxxxxx
I don’t take my dolls out very much but when I do, I get positive reactions when I say they’re not real. People are in awe, they want to hold the baby, etc. This is from both men and women!
Awesome!!
Hi, I'm just checking out reborn dolls. I have porcelain dolls from Ashton Drake from years ago. I would love to know where Stevie is from like who made the doll?
Thanks! Stevie is made by Clare Campbell, all info is always in the description for each video ♥️
WELL SAID FRIEND!!!! SOME PEOPLE are idiots and you are correct...those people that say that do no donate anything to any charity!!!!! I'm tired of it! I will buy th3 dolls I want with nobody's choice but my own!!!!!!
Yessss 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰🥰🥰
It’s not just women that play with dolls. I play with them too and so might other men. I go to the point where I change their diapers and clothes
Exactly! I definitely made a point to say “people, not just women” in my video. There are people from all genders and identities that enjoy collecting these dolls ♥️
Why?
Awesome video
Thank you 😊
The baby boy at the beginning of the video looked like he was intently listening to you 😂❤
Well said ❤ and thank you! Love you, and your collection and channel😊❤
Where did this doll come from? I really want one like this one.
Great video 👍 Beautiful art! Gorgeous Babies! ❤ I love that you have a Joker baby too!!!! Sooo cool to see another lil buddy like my Joker Baby 💕❣️
All so cute❤ I need cuddle babies❤❤
I have 7 dolls. I know they are not real. They are lovely to look at and hold.
Great video! ❤ Good points for people to think about!
Lol don’t let our hobby take your mind off God and Jesus worry about how to make it to heaven pray for the real live babies that are going through something in there lives I mean come on what’s important fake babies are real babies get a new life wish who ever it’s best wishes everybody is a freak behind close doors and I think I speak for all reborn mommy’s I had dolls all my life and I birth 6 children of my own and I now have 9 grandchildren the youngest one is my great grand baby I thank the amazing God in Jesus Christ Name that he blessed me with all that I’m and all that I have 💯🙏🏽🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
my question is why not have a baby or adopt if youre gonna play pretend parent?
I love your videos. Happyness from them all. Not a sports fan myself. Yes, I love these babies❤ you make a good point. Keep them coming. I absolutely love this baby boy and the hat❤ but on a girl… don’t get upset I said this. Maybe a brown hat..😊❤
I truly enjoyed your video(s) Not only that… if you are a lot like me and it seem so. I (we) don’t need anyone’s approval for this hobby( for crying out loud 👶🏼😭we are adults with our own responsibilities lol) we both share. One thing’s for sure we are enjoying ourselves in this way and I support this video you made 100%✌🏾🌻👶🏽❣️ We said my friend
Men can have life sized female dolls, action figures, and all that. No one cares about adult barbie collectors, Blythe, and adult versions of other dolls...reborns are just for people who don't want a low quality store doll or a boring porcelain doll. People just want to insult other people. Sleeping dolls have been around for a while, such as those dolls that fall asleep when you lay them down...what doll responds when you touch them? She doesn't seem dead...people be also saying awake dolls are evil since they always stare. I hope I can get my hands on a Remington. Jorja is still reasonable compared to most of these other sculptors who paint their dolls and a lot more flexible with payments.
Well said!!! Thank you so much for adding this comment to the conversation!
Also I may need to make some changes in my collection - not sure. Feel free to message me on Instagram about Remington if you are interested in possibly purchasing in the future ♥️
Well I never got eating so much hotdogs as they showed in some shows. How can you eat more than one without puking? But that is their business. I don't have to do it and I won't criticize them either, I wish people would just let live, you know?
Exactly!!! Hot dogs lol - yup it’s a thing. People can get passionate about anything 😉
I think there’s got to be something wrong with women playing with dolls.
That video was the one that brought me here. I dont know why youtube reccomended it to me because ive never seen/looked into it before but 🤷♀️ anyways i thought the comments were a little over the top and definitely rude. Theres many reasons people would so the reborn thing and it doesn't freak me out seeing them. If anything it was interesting to me.
Well I play whth my reborn doll because it makes me happy and it relax me
And without having to escape through harmful means. A big win, in my opinion. ♥️
Leave them alone.
Meu sonho,são lindos❤
I like your collection though
And then there are those that tattoo, amputate their limps, body piercing, cosplay, collect baseball cards, movie memorabilia the list goes on. All is done in fun, for the joy and pleasure it brings. People live and let live, life is short for judging someone for the things they like. Take a good look around your own home and the mirror; you too have things other might judge you for, so let that Sh_t go. ✌️
Yes, an unending rainbow of interests and activities out there 🤣 some more intense than others. Totally agree and thank you for adding your thoughts 🥰
XD everyone who has a nice show car needs to get rid of it and give there money to my needy car
Really it's NON of their business what you do with YOUR money. Why are they so interested are they the ones who earned it?
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I have gotten to the age now, where I am not going to bother with justifying the things that bring me happiness, to others. Its pointless anyway...as there are way to many people who feel they are the judge, and the jury, in whatever anyone chooses to do, and to keep them all happy would be an impossibility. So F@#% them, and there opinions...If its not hurting anyone, and your babies bring you joy, then I say own it, embrace it...I like baby dolls, so what?? No one invited you into my space,... if you don't like what you are seeing, then look the other way, and mind your own business, just sayin.
A M E N 👏🏻
These 'DOLLS' are lovely, thats obvious however, you folks take collecting to a questionable level. We dont treat our skis, pool balls or t.v.'s like they're alive. Perhaps those who have lost children like myself should seek counseling or a support group. Iv seen a woman with a closet and dresser full of clothes pacifiers, toys. She changes their diaoers and dresses them for bed and gives them a bottle. You can't possibly think that's normal behavior by any stretch of the imagination.....Just Saying....🤷
I don’t tear my dolls like they are alive either. I don’t know who y’all is , but realize not every collector has the same reasons or hobbies. Mine are displayed in fairly realistic setting so they look cute and for the photography aspect of this hobby which is huge.
@@RaendomReborns I'm sure you ment 'treat' not 'tear'.( Freudian slip perhaps) ? 'Yall' is a college educated professional in the areas of psychiatry and psychology. I brought up a legitimate question regarding those individuals who have moved to a questionable level of practice with a created object. I see by your name you probably have a business in this area. I'm sure you've seen people of whom I speak. Denying that they may have a genuine problem does them and the 'hobby' a disservice. I feel we're at an impass. This is nearly food for thought. Nothing more, nothing less. Perhaps now is the time to move on. Have a nice day....🌄
It's called role play. There are all types of that too, hmm ppl pretend to be comic book or movie characters, what about furries? What about people dressing up and pretending they are from olden days. People dress up like star trek etc etc. As long as ppl aren't breaking the law, hurting anyone or themselves or abusing drugs leave them alone. Now if you'll excuse me I have to get my reborn ready for bed,lol. More love, less hate/judgement.
@@pennytaylor8761 I Pretended when I was a child with my dolls too.But I didn't try to breast feed them. This is the type of extreme behaviors I'm referring to. (Pay attention). Enjoying your dolls is one thing and good for you folks that enjoy your hobby. But, your "role playing" can go WAY too far. That is what I'm referring to. I'm sure you've seen it with other doll enthusiasts. We need to be able to call a spade a spade and not pretend all behaviors are o.k.....🤷
@@sharonjacobs5351 OK, you got me there. I personly would never breastfeed a doll, that is a bit much. I do change clothing daily, I do have props for them for photos. I have never had the blessing to have my own children and adoption is not an option. These beautiful art dolls at least let me go into a baby section and buy something where before I couldn't even walk by that section in the store without crying. They also help sooo much with depression, anxiety, ptsd etc. Yes I do take them in public and I has a sign that say that is a reborn doll and it is helps with anxiety. I have had all positive reactions. It gives me a reason to talk to people instead of waiting to hide from them. I do agree some ppl can take it to an unhealthy level but not everone is like that.
Men have hobbies train sets and car races and play games on the television for the people that so much got something to say about grown women playing with baby dolls fine you a hobby life is for real too short cause only God can judge anybody and he is not worrying about it ! But if you are worried then go right ahead and knock your self out all the things that going on in this world and you worry about our business go find something else to do we don’t care what you think 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣🥲💯🥱
