This is a hobby that allows us to use our imagination and keep the child within alive, as I see it, that's not a bad thing.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />XXanaduhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06355069609640008727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4086353247988117271.post-60979113643707674432014-04-23T09:07:09.961-05:002014-04-23T09:07:09.961-05:00Hehehe, that's so cute!

It reminds me all of a photoshoot I saw long ago of Brad Pitt in a glittery dress... a whole comment on masculinity and comfort with it. <br /><br />I play with dolls (action figures, what-have-you) for the same reasons! I'm obsessed with things in miniature, they're a way to hold onto that child-like wonder for the world (aka, imagination) and on the same note, they're physical manifestations of characters that hang out in my head.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15111661500387424612noreply@blogger.com
