Ok sure about the baby orientation in the forums, I totally get where you are coming from. I don't mind it at all but I suppose it could be off putting to some, however, you can feel free to update me on it anytime!
I have 2 BJDs, one is an Island Doll (MSD-Amy) - MSD means it is a smaller BJD of about 40cm and "Amy" is the brand name of the doll. I renamed this doll Aditi. My other doll is a Planetdoll (MSD-Roseanne) but I named her Claribel and she is about 43cm tall. So that is standard for MSD size. You can see them
here. The dolls are the same 2 dolls but they have different clothes and wigs. I am not a great photographer, I am just learning. I was originally using a Nikon Coolpix point and shoot. Now I have graduated to my husband's Canon Rebel. He also has a Canon DSLR which is his main camera, I don't use that one. Do you have one of these or similar, do you take pictures?
Wow on your dolls. Those might (or might not) be worth a lot. I was looking at a porcelain BJD on ebay for 3.5k. Not that I would buy it, but I was just looking for fun. I had a doll collection too when young which my grandma got for me, I still have them packed away at my mom's. I had one, a Spanish one, with a frilly black dress that left quite an impression on me, I bet I still have it. That is neat that you discovered that you are dressing with perhaps an underlying inspiration from your doll, fantastic!!
I like your violet today. What are the arm bands you are wearing?
I used to have a sig. Really.
