Cafe's? Is that like those bourgeois expensive AG branded salon thingies where little girls can take the doll they're going to trash or ditch about in a year for a mani and pedi and a wig restyle? One of my exes did that for his nieces, by their next birthday, the dolls had been long forgotten and shoved in a closet.
I really hate the assumption that BJDs are or were created for children.. Who buys 1k+ character figures for their kids? Dollpa limit-eds, ect..The hobby is clearly intended for young adults and adults..
