ABOUT ME

My 1st Barbie,
 Magic Moves and I

Hi, my name is Theresa and I'm a dollaholic.  I can't pinpoint the exact moment when I began my dolly love affair.  I think I've always loved dolls of all types.  I do recall getting my very first Barbie doll from one of my aunts that one fateful Christmas day.  Her name was Barbie...No seriously, that's what I named her!  Very original, right? 

My doll collecting did not seriously kickstart until many years later, when I started earning my own money.  My first collector doll purchase was Mattel's Lord of the Rings Barbie and Ken set.   In less than ten years I have discovered and acquired many different types of collector dolls beyond the Barbie world.  And in the midst of it all, I also fell in love with doll photography.


Doll Epic recounts my journey in doll collecting.  In reality, I've driven many people crazy with my doll stories.  I guess if someone was talking to me about golf, I would feel the same way.  The internet is a whole other universe, however.  One can never go wrong swapping tales with those who are interested in reading them, hence, my doll blogging. Plus, you meet such interesting people along the way.  And really, dolls to me is more than a toy.  It's an art, an expression, sometimes an extension of oneself, a representation of something eternally magical, a stress-reliever, and a great way of staying forever young.

I also have a strange fixation with funny hats...

Thank you readers.  Thank you Barbie.  Thank you Francie.  Thank you Eltin, Sooki and Poppy.  Thank you Theresa's puppy!  But most of all, thank you Lovie for the past, present and future good times and bad.  My doll hobby would not be as fantastical without any of you!
