Captured Doll.....I mean.......this is a beautiful, very touching, very special thing you've shared with us....I don't know that anyone's ever done anything quite like this. This was first of all VERY courageous!
Also, Master of Doll, thanks for YOUR role in all this, and for sharing the story from your perspective. For being so open to exploring this thing (that the rest of us have), and that includes posting here. For being so heroic to help her break through a lifelong barrier. But also for your honesty that hey....life is not always a bowl of cherries and relationships are work and life is tough and nothing's perfect. Appreciate all of that.
Doll: SO much of this I related to, we ALL will relate to. Everything. From how you'd sink into the chair when a mainstream scene would be onscreen....to looking it up in the Dictionary.......to buying stuff hoping for tickling only to be disappointed there was none.......and just on and on and on.....
But what really comes through on this video is how genuine and sincere you are and....quite honestly, it was like I was sitting a table with you, listening to you tell your experiences.....you are kind, and - best of all - unpretentious. Completely candid and honest. Funny! You have a great sense of humor!
Your breakthrough moment was so touching...and when I mean touching, I mean grab a hanky folks. I was completely caught off guard by that moment, that part of the story, and the revelations you had. How as a child you associated not being tickled with not being loved......oh man, rip my heart out!
Your enthusiasm is infectious. Telling the history of your early collection....alot of us can relate. I had alot of those magazines, it was wild to see them again! The story of your relationship with your girlfriend......fascinating and the story of you being buried in the sand was beyond beautiful. Maybe one day, you'll write that one out because your face said everything there needs to be said about how you felt about that day. It obviously is a special memory. Even talking about how you arrived at your look! I get it! Good for you!
I'm rooting for the both of you. And Captured Doll: seriously....a very courageous and cathartic act, a generous act, inspiring....entertaining and engaging!.......seeing it all laid out there, VERBALLY, not in print..... the only word for it is spelled T-H-A-N-K-S. 🙂
