Those Creepy Dolls: BJDs in Music Videos

As some of you might know, I'm a huge Kpop fan. I usually only watch out for the few groups that I really love, but just this week, a relatively new Kpop act called Ladies' Code released a new music video and it immediately caught my attention. The reason? A BJD is featured prominently in the video and song cover art.

And judging by the song's cover art, you can already tell how the doll figures into the music video.

Yep, it's there to amp up the creepy factor. In the video, the girls are seen playing and destroying dolls (thankfully the BJD remained unscathed lol!) with vapid looks on their equally doll-like faces. Their doll-like quality gets more highlighted as they themselves become dolls as the video progresses. The "creepy doll" concept is nothing new in music videos though. BJDs have been used for the same purpose in other such videos. Below are some examples.

While I do like that BJDs are getting more exposure in pop culture and even though I have a thing for creepy, macabre concepts, I’m beginning to find it tiresome to see dolls portrayed as creepy things in media. They’re works of art, after all! How about featuring them in a different, possibly a more positive light? Like focusing on their beauty at the very least.

What do you guys think? Have you seen other artists use BJDs in their music videos?

Faceups // Soom Ivory for Jan

Real life has been keeping me busy and away from my dolls. ;w; I miss playing with them. So far my bonding time with them consists mostly of Instagram lol. Despite my lack of dolly time, I managed to squeeze in a faceup commission for my friend Jan.

This is Addie, which is short for Adelaide. She's your typical girl-next-door: bubbly and quite romantic. Jan wanted her to have a natural faceup, but with a smoky eye, so this is what I came up with. I'm happy with how she turned out! :D

The Big, the Baby and the Bitty

Remember that post I did not too long ago about doll plans? Looks like the plans are about to change! I still plan on getting a Feeple60 Rona first (I already have clothes prepared for her), but the rest in my old list are up in the air. The reason for this change?

Big, Baby & Bitty Blair: Delf Arwen, E-line Boni, and Pukifee Mio

Recently, I've been thinking of getting Blair in other sizes, namely SD, YOSD and Tiny sizes. It's no secret Blair's my favorite, but I always thought that my future dolls will all be different characters. It made more sense to me at the time. Why would I want the same character in several(!) different sizes? What use would I have for them if I'm not the type who has a "story" for their dolls?

I still don't have the answer to that. I just know I want to do it. I really, really do. The aesthetic of these dolls that appeal to me so much, and I can't help but see Blair in all of them.

What do you guys think? Have you ever felt this way about a certain doll/character of yours? Did you get them in several sizes, too?
