on "validity to real-life collections" - I completely agree. I have a small collection of antique porcelain dolls, and it wouldn't really work for a digital collection because there's not like anything about these dolls online they simply don't exist. As well each has their own story to tell with their previous owners and stuff. The internet is an ethereal place and it doesn't deal with that well.

Your article on digital collections was interesting. I'm a big Barbie doll fan and when I first got the internet, I would look up dolls I wanted and almost got existential because I thought, 'Well, I can just look at the pictures...' I do like the the internet allows us to not support consumerism, but I do think there can be validity to real-life collections and it can be a fun challenge to seek out deals.

But I agree some people take it too far. Excited to dive into the Tulpa zone too. I've enjoyed discovering Jungian theory and want to learn more. Your site looks like a great resource! Ty for sharing your perspectives. <3

Wow, I really love your article on digital collections! I love plushies, but I simply don't have the space to store and keep them. I have this situation with many of the things I'd like to collect. I should think about having a digital collection. :)

Whenever I'm thinking of a physical collection, I always have to think about size and expense. That's why my only two are enamel pins and CDs from musicians.
Your Palm Mall & Palm City was an interesting read! Hireath Corp is one of my favorite Vapor-pipeline artists out there.

Oh wow I forgot I'd written that! I really need to move it to the tulpa zone haha. I don't visit palm city as regularly as I used to - I bet it's getting all dusty in there. Glad you enjoyed!!

Hi there! I was wondering if you had a button I could add to my site?

I had a little on this originally but I cut it out for length, but on reflection it's definitely important enough that i should have kept it.
Just checked out your perfume collection too! Until smell-o-vision comes around I think we'll have to keep collecting those in person, too... (how is every page on ur site so beautiful omg)
Yeah there are some things I will always want a physical thing of, esp. stuff like perfume haha. but honestly you've inspired me to maybe start some digital collections!! at the very least a virtual shelf could be a fun way to display a wish list on my site. and ty for your kind words!! <3 I love making my pages visual and fun so it means a lot.
