When I started loving liv dolls

When I decided to start colleckting dolls (fall 2012), I started to search online for the dolls that would be right for me. I knew it wouldent be Barbie, because when I was little I didnt like that she could only wear high heels. I think dolls should be able to. wear both flat shoes and high heels (unless they are suppose to be kids then heels arent  necessary. I allso dont like Barbies style of minidresses, miniskirts, super short shorts and pink. 

Annyways I allso knew it wouldent be Bratz, I like some of their clothes, but they allso have some clothes that I think are skimpy looking. The reason why I didnt choose them is mostley because I dont find their faces atrractive and I dont like that their feets are pegs. I actually considered Moxie girls for a while because I think they are cute, but they allso have the peg feets and they arent verry articulated. 


I like the concept of Monster high, I think its a verry good idea. But its something, I dont feel is for me. Again the high heels and short skirts, throw me off (all girls need a good pair of pants). Another reason monster high isint for me, is because I whan dolls where i can make up characters and create stories around them. When I look at monster high dolls, I feel like they have a hard time being annyone else beside the character Mattel made them to be (unless you customize them). I allso dont really feel atracted to monsters, and the idea I had in my head was to create a story around human kids or teenagers)
Besides Mattels disney princesses and Winx club dolls (which was out of the question), these were the only fashion dolls I could find in my local stores.  
As I kept searching online I came across dolls, that I had never heard about before. I rember whanting to know more about the BFC inc dolls, but their website didnt work annymore and I couldent find much information about them.

When I came across liv dolls, I didnt really know what to think about them. The first picture i saw of them, was and old promotional picture that made me think "nope". But as I read more about them, I got more and more interrested. I read that they have many joints, and I liked the sound of that. In the pictures I saw, their inset eyes looked beautiful. I could see that most of their fashion, is something I like. I was glad to learn, that they have ankel joints and can wear both flat shoes and high heels. I allso read that they had wigs, and I didnt know what to think about that. I had never experienced a doll with wigs, so I didnt know if it was a good or bad thing. But the more I thought about it the more I realized this would help make it easier, to make my dolls look just the way I whanted to. I became verry exited about these dolls, but I wish they were sold in my country. 
But liv I knew liv dolls were right for me, and no shipping cost would stand in my way. I whanted the first doll I bought, to come with an extra wig. Katie was my favorie, so I chose first wave katie. I found her on Amazon and bought her, I allso bought an extra wig. 
When she arrived, she did not disapoint me - I loved everything about her. For a verry long time, my boyfriend had to listen to me ramble about how beautiful and awsome she was. It wasn't verry long, before Jake and first wave Alexis joined Katie in her new home.
