Why do I like BJD's? That's kind of a tough question, and I guess I'm still finding out myself.
When I was little I played with dolls, I had some Sindys and Barbies... but they weren't my favourite toys. I used to spend hours playing with Lego and playmobil, building up worlds and stories for them. I think for me BJDs fit into that kind of play, they tend to have characters and personalities... and the ones who I don't find a character for tend to leave fairly quickly. I've had far too many arrive and as soon as I see them I know they wont be staying long.
The BJDs I have now are all really special to me, for different reasons and I do love some more than others, but I'm pretty sure they're all keepers.
I enjoying finding styles for them, and shopping for clothes, shoes and accessories. I enjoy making up stories with them, and doing photostories to share. I guess I like how much of my creative side they bring out, my main way of playing with them is taking photos, but I have tried to sew for them before, which I'm not good at, but enjoy trying anyway.
EDIT:
I forgot to mention one of my very favourite things about BJDs... the community! I have met so many people, IRL and online, who I now call friends through this hobby. I think on the whole BJD people are a great bunch of people, and I'm glad to be part of that.
