You will need to get pastΒ NewΒ MemberΒ status before you can use all the features of the forum.Β Once you do, image posting is as simple as hosting the image, and then pasting its URL into the post.Β The forum guidelines are here:Β https://www.dolldreaming.com/guidelines/ Β 1 The difference between Dollfie Dreams and Heroin? Heroin is illegal, Dollfie Dreams probably should be. βEmpty wallets, full hearts.β Thatβs probably an apt description for the effects of DD addiction Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And also, I was afraid of adding another line of dolls to collect lol. I finally took the plunge with Rin and I haven't looked back! Fortunately I've not had any issues so far. They are definitely a lot more fun to pose and lighter to carry around.Β Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
