Kidding aside, Rebecca and Lindsey take this opportunity to briefly look at the Asian 1/3 scale vinyl dolls, their markets, and the companies that produce them.

Lindsey and Rebecca go over why in the world we go through all the trouble to buy, collect, paint, modify, and photograph Ball Jointed Dolls.  This podcast is a bit heavier on theory, and dives into a little information on the chemicals in the brain that make us feel good.  More importantly, all the tangents are A+ material.  Enjoy!
