You know
you're a serious doll collector when
...you pay $250.00 for shoes for your Jumeau, and buy yours at Payless! HELENM12
...you set up a time to meet the postman, who has your new Barbie, around the corner so you can hide the new doll in the trunk of your car. MINTWOLF
...you bid a tearful good-bye as your daughter/son heads off to college, then scurry upstairs to claim their room as a dedicated space for Barbie and her friends. MaryFH...you put off buying a set of new tires because they are too expensive, but spend $300.00 on a group of dolls because you saved 40 percent. ERIN1112
...you buy clothes for your family at Thrift Stores so you'll have enough money to buy tiny garments for your inanimate family. MaryFH...your dream of retirement includes becoming a "groupie" at Theriault's doll auctions. MaryFH
...you get more dolls for Christmas than your 5 year old daughter. AB_COLCTDOLL
...you refuse social engagements because it cuts into your 'doll' time. JFMDOLTON
...you call one of your doll dealers who is located out of state and she immediately recognizes your voice before you can identify yourself! ROMAMAY
...you announce to your therapist that you're "cured" and will no longer require that expensive medication. After all, buying the new 2001 Gene collection will be better for your mental health in the long run. Unfortunately, your therapist is a trained professional and, realizing you have become delusional, has you committed. MaryFH
...you know you are a serious collector when you open a doll shop and buy one of everything for yourself! DOLLCONNECT
