Today is #proBjdArtists day! Artists are what make this hobby possible, and thus we need to support them! No excuse is valid to get a recasts as no excuse is valid to steal from someone else. The artists and companies creating LEGIT dolls are what keeps this beautiful hobby going. Also, cheers to everyone who get legits  regardless of harships and circumstances. I want to tell you a story. When Iplehouse Violet came out, I didn't have money to get her, so I waited. She was eventually released as a basic, but I wanted her in Light Brown, so I waited again. It took me two years of literally saving pennies, doing sewing commissions to pocket some dolly-money, and then waiting for Iplehouse to make a free-shipping or discount event to get her cheaper... but I waited and now she is here! LEGIT! With 50% of customs duties, for which I also saved pennies.

pro bjd artist event

So, here we are \(^0^)/ Since the response and request for repeating the event of last year where much and positive, I’m counting on your enthusiasm to spread, support and participate a the event, this year too! For the people that see this for the first time, I rewrite the post that made the birth of everything, last year:

“After I read on fb and here that even a Lillycat dolls was recasted, I spend the day reading comment, discussion and so on… So many little artits are knock down to this viral phenomenon, and reading the sconfort and the righteous anger made me think: what can I do? I know that every of you that love this hobby feels powerless, we struggle debating and spreading as much as possible the information for the neewbie and so on, but seems so vane, in this kind of situation. Even so, I love this hobby, I don’t want that all this negative stuff discouraging the artists and overcome all the positive things that are also many, so I was thinking to create a little event, for spread all the support and love that we can, like said: "hey, your’e not alone! I support you, I love your work, I will always chose you, not the recast parasite!" So please, if you love bjd dolls and want to stand up for the artists and the brands that made this hobby possible, Take a photo of one of your doll with a supportive message, submit it everywere: FB, tumblr, dA, Flikr, Twitter, Instagram, with the tag: #proBjdArtists We can make some viral love, too! so feel free to copy this banner and post it everywere <3 And since last year we where judged harshly from “filling hate and negativity on the hobby” I advice the potential participant to not give the opportunity to the pro recast to criticize us and to choose positive and supportive message instead of “f**k recasts” as a message, but It’s just a hint, I will reblog your contribuition anyway. love,
