00:00getting those dolls was a lot from my parents just because at the time you know boys were not playing

00:22with dolls something you got heavily bullied for I asked my parents for one of them and they looked

00:27at me with a big fat no I called my aunt I said like my parents you know don't want to buy me this

00:33can you buy it for me instead and she um without batting an eyelash literally was like yeah a week

00:39later she had called my parents to be like hey your son's doll is here come to pick it up and they were

00:45like absolutely not whether or not she had asked for permission or not that doll ended up under my

00:50tree that year somehow and then you know my parents saw how much I loved the doll so my birthday I asked

00:57for Elizabeth um great second doll I added Nikki to my collection and then Molly Kanani and then I got

01:06my last um doll in my childhood collection who I named Piper and um that was my original six

01:12that high was just something that I was like I love this so um after that I started to collect more I

01:19started to buy them off of eBay Macari I would fix them up I you know at this time I was like fully

01:24able to like fix up you know dolls and so um I kind of went crazy and I bought like Felicity Kaya Julie

01:32like I just full speed ahead just they started to like amount I looked at my dad and I was like can I

01:38break down walls in your house and he was like what and I was like for Christmas I would love a dollhouse

01:44and originally it was going to be this like corner thing we weren't going to break anything down but

01:47then I was like you know what like if we're gonna do this like let's just demolish the whole room

01:52my dad broke down my closet and then for a year all of 2021 was building that dollhouse and

01:57yeah that Christmas of 2022 I finally had it done and it feels just great to just be in the silly

02:03campiness of being an adult in this doll world and the fact that I was a male I was like this is

02:09something that you know I I hope resonates with other people and it's just been something that has

02:15completely overtaken my life it's a core like you know like a literally like an entire corner of my

02:20heart and so it's crazy again to think that it literally started off with some cardboard boxes
