For LG's do you take Dolly or Dollies to bed?

Link to comment

I sleep in a twin bed with both 29" Andrea Lynne Rachel Christine and 35" Lisa Michelle Denise Christine who are big dollies and I do not have any problems: I even wear a tiara to bed and have no problems, either. There is a pad between us that goes form my neck to past my knees, like the old "bundling board" or "chastity pad" that used to be used when two persons not married to each other slept in the same bed to keep their bodies from touching each other.

Dollies are little persons and you have no idea how it makes them feel to sleep under the same blankets and with their head on the same pillow as their "mama"

I may be too submissive but sometimes I put my head on Dolly's shoulder or give her a kiss. Dollies love the quick little girl kisses on the cheek that you learn to do when you are 3 years old

How can you look into their sparkly eyes and see those pursed lips and even THINK of breaking their little hearts? Especially when they do so much for us girls

I think its because I had/have so many porcelain dolls I was always scared I'd hurt them if I slept with them cause I'm a... violent sleeper (I roll around and fall out of beds, I wake up facing the wrong way a lot) so stuffed animals can take it but dolls would probably break v.v

How could anyone only have porcelain dolls in the last 65 years? Let alone the last 25. I saw many of them at Severs from about 10 to 5 years ago and some LG'S at Girltalk. to would get them and try to treat them like real dolls with the predictable results but even so, that still seems like an anomaly

Tbh I think it's because I was a bit of a tomboy but I liked collecting porcelain dolls for some reason so I was never interested in barbies or anything and my family and family friends kept getting me them. I have around 20 I think now but I used to have a lot more.

I have Disney Princess toddler dolls. After I kiss them goodnight and put them in their places I always pick one to hold while I sleep. I used to roll around a lot but since I started holding a dolly whilst

I never liked the idea of "character" dolls. it seemed to be restrictive. We had Shirley Temple dolls and "Betsy Wetsy" was not a specific character, but one created for the doll. I always thought of dolls as a kind of person and being a "character" restricted how I could interact with her and made her less than a whole person

Even a bride doll was generic. The more you particularize the identity of the doll the less her range of being as the character was more important than the doll. Also, when I was little, the Shirley Temple doll was half a generation out of date. The "Hoppy" things were not quite as archaic, but they still did not resonate with me and were a much bigger hit with my uncle's generation (1906-25) and the one immediately after that like my older cousins' (I was born in Sept '45 and much closer to a baby-boomer in culture and temperament)

I think you're greatly underestimating the imagination of little girls. If they can particularize, say, a Strawberry Shortcake doll or a plush Smurfette, they can do it with just about anything.

Would the "Chatty Cathy" (or the boy's counterpart, "Chatty Brother")

The talking dolls, were by nature, limited to what they could say and that was randomly determined. With a "generic" doll, you start from go, even naming her. just like you would if you had a baby. Also, the human doll engages the facial recognition human function. If the first doll I saw did not have glass and therefore, light-catching, and therefore, more realistic, eyes, it is highly unlikely that the question of person would even have come up

Also, you do not want to rely on too much imagination, otherwise you lose the species identification. Most persons have no idea of how dangerous bears and other large animals are because of the cutesy stuffed animals and cartoon animals (and I am a huge Yogi Bear fan). You want some learning to take place, especially same-species attachment. Patti Playpal was the first of the jumbo "companion" dolls, nearly the size of the little girl, able to walk, etc. Then there was "Talky Tina" who was "almost alive" and served as the idea behind "Chatty Cathy" with June Foray voicing both. However the more specifically the doll functions the less that is left to imagination and the less motivation is to imagine so the pre-set function doll, defined by character or function, discourages intentional, active imagination and creativity since the doll's identity or function are pre-defined in identity or context. Elsa or Anna are Elsa and Anna and that is all they will ever be, like Shirley Temple. Andrea or Lisa were not Andrea or Lisa

Look on Ebay for larger 28" 36" dolls. Their bodies are made of hard material but the shape, being human, makes them huggable. Also, you have to do most of the "work" since they are generic dolls. Andrea and Lisa are in my About Me section. Once you give something a name, especially a doll, that gives it individual recognition and a "personality"

I have loads of plushies on my bed, but sometimes I put my reborn doll Kiley on the other side of my bed and remove some of the plushies.I also put a pillow behind her on the edge even though the bed is huge and i doubt she would ever fall off. I do cuddle her a bit before bed and sometimes fall asleep with her in my arms. I slept with my baby alive doll once too.

A dolly is very different from a stuffed animal. First it is a "person" in that it is person-shaped, with a readable expression that communicates. Second, she has a person's name or nickname. These make her like us via anthropomorphism; a kind of projection. Being intimate with such a one, for a little girl of 4, 5 or even older "conditions" the girl to the human world on a very close level. You also have to learn how to sleep with another person and learning to sleep with a dolly teaches you that. I sleep with two dolls in a twin bed plus some other things and I manage

Stuffed animals are not unique to girls, or anyone, they apply to babies and boys up to about age 7. Our dollies are unique to us. Having one or more of them so close to us makes us different from boys and babies

Awwwww. You have no idea how a dolly loves to be taken to bed. That represents the height of acceptance to her. Being under the same covers and with her head on the same pillow as you says "you are a real little person" to her. The only reason I do not take Cassandra Lynette Estelle Christine to bed very often is because she is a bride dolly and has many accoutremnts that get in the way. This is part of what makes a doll into a dolly. The shape of a doll's body being so close to human makes up a good deal for not being soft. I love the feel of Andrea Lynne' s and Lisa Michelle's body and their clothes, and giving them the light, quick little-girl kiss on the cheek that dollies love. We also follow the custom of touching tiaras like Fairies who are close to each other

Dolly is more like a person in appearance, name and shape and therefore more like me and I can feel much more affection for her. 40 years ago, my real cats used to sleep with me and preferred to sleep at the lower part of the bed, 32 years ago, I did have a cat that used to like to sleep under the covers with his head on the pillow. You have no idea how thrilled Dolly is to sleep under the same covers with her head on the same pillow as you. It makes her feel like a real person and she will reward you handsomely for that consideration. There is a special bond of similarity between a Little Girl and her Dolls. Shirley Temple, in the parts she played hated to hurt a doll and after the scene she had to be sure that the doll was all right (they were speciall props that were "breakable" and re-assmblable)
