Nightline

Hey, you guys if you go to Nightline on TikTok, you will see a snippet of what they did at the West Coast doll show. @Katinafleming and @ellakabella they are showing your babies. I saw my Chardon by @JoyW on there too!

Not sure I care for the term hyper-priced but it was interesting to see the segment.

Judging by the look on her face, she likes them. I love how carefully she picked it up.

Nice to see reborns reported on in such a positive way. The reporter sounds excited by them.

Yes, she did a very good job of making it sound positive. It was not like we were all some kind of freaks like many of them I have seen reported.

Dave posted the full video on reborns…doesn’t look like a very good light shined on them again. The comments are nasty. They always have to show the extreme collectors that roll play and take them in public and talk to them :roll_eyes: makes everyone that enjoys the art look like some nut case.

Yeah I mean they start it out by showing some woman’s doll room and showing the people that talk to their dolls and do the extreme stuff. They do go on to show the lady at the doll show talking to people and stuff and that part is more normal but only after they show the kooky bit.

Oh yeah obviously, there’s not an interesting video to watch if it doesn’t feature people doing weird stuff. Lol

Wow Donna, that was a good shot. I also will say,I think yours was the prettiest too ( i might be playing favorites). Maybe this will lead to more exposure…better step up that rooting Missy!:hair_pick: :paintbrush:

My comment is about full version of the episode:
I wish they would not start with weird ‘I make breakfast for them every morning’, or ‘spa day’ with a nail clippers on silicone baby, dirty diaper change, etc. That makes the whole reborn and silicone collecting industry look so weird to unaware people.
At DOTWE it was a gymnastic convention with so many young girls staying at the hotel, so parents were complaining to the reception that their kids would have a nightmares and require therapy after staying with ‘dolly people’.
But hopefully it will get more exposure for the WCDS ! :wink:

And ‘rooting’ one hair at the time’ while showing Janie not doing mono rooting was funny to me.

I had to laugh at this when I actually watched the segment just now. I noticed she is posting that she “worked really close with them to insure a positive look into our incredible world .” I am not so sure that once you get interviewed you have much say in what goes into the final production. I didn’t think the segment was as bad as I was fearing. Susan Gibbs and Daya Johnson both did a great job with positive comments. The first lady taking hers out in the stroller was more monotone and kinda gave it a weird vibe to me. I am also not a fan of the whole role playing thing being portrayed on videos but that is me. I feel like it sometimes gives the idea we are all doing that and a bit unhinged.

The comments in the actual video are fine, but the people in the comment section below are awful.

I am not sure about ‘worked really close’ as if it would be up to me (as a show creator) I would never approve comments from a collector who says that her daughters think that their mother is crazy, her house is creepy and they don’t want to stay there. How is that a positive outlook?

Oh yeah that was weird! :joy::joy: I forgot she said that. I would not be saying that if it were me
