Traditionally, serious collectors are considered to be men, various antique dealers, gallery owners, simply art connoisseurs and investors who invest in collectibles and art.
In fact, it is very interesting and, with the right approach, it is profitable to collect paintings by famous painters, bronze sculptures, old silverware sets, various things belonging to royal families or rare ancient coins made of gold and silver. Only such collecting is available to few, it requires a lot of money, and many people want to touch the beautiful and have a favorite hobby.
If you want to collect something, but there is no money for paintings Salvador Dali or rubles of Peter III, pay attention to other more accessible topics.
Today we'll talk about collecting Barbie dolls
I understand that in Russia many people will laugh at the collector of dolls, so if public opinion is valuable to you, you will have to be silent and not brag about your acquisitions. Although, by and large, those around you will not understand almost any of your hobbies. It doesn't matter what you start collecting - dolls or old coins, most people do not understand anything about this, and consider collecting a frivolous occupation. But in fact, real collecting is not only replenishing the collection with new acquisitions, at the same time acquiring new knowledge from the field of history, art and other spheres of life.
Collecting, with the right approach, develops a person. Therefore, if you want to collect Barbie dolls, do not hesitate, start collecting, but do not tell anyone about it.
I have to communicate with many girls and women, I know that many women 30 years and older have not finished playing with dolls, and when they see beautiful Barbies, they are moved. And if you get carried away a little, the doll will bring daily joy and open up various prospects for creativity.
As an example, I want to show you pictures of a collection of Barbie dolls, which was collected by one man. Yes, and this happens, men can also collect a collection of dolls!
He managed to put together an excellent collection Barbie! In total, his collection includes more than 2,000 dolls, and the total cost of the collection is approximately $ 80,000.
In Russia, few people will understand such a man, at best they will laugh, call him infantile, and many will consider him crazy or even worse a pervert who realizes his dirty fantasies through a collection.
But in fact, collecting Barbie dolls is a touch of beauty, and it seems to me that it is better for a man to collect a collection of beautiful dolls than, like all real men, to go to a barbecue on Friday after work and drink a significant part of his monthly income.
Although all people are different, some people enjoy drinking beer, lounging on the couch and watching football, while others collect a collection of dolls. The main thing is that it brings pleasure and does not harm yourself and others.
But whatever I write, I know how strong the stereotypes are in our society, and reading these lines, many thinking girls will perceive my words with a grin. Once a girl-designer laughed at me.
We discussed the details of one Internet project, it was necessary to make a website design. I wanted to make a site in pink colors, but the girl designer dissuaded me, claiming that no one would go to such a site, because it is shameful to go to a pink site.
Why is it shameful? The girl-designer answered - you know, I am 20 years old, and I would be ashamed to sit on a site with pink pages, suddenly colleagues at work will see, they will laugh at me!
This is how the majority of Russian citizens live - doing everything like people do, fearing to take a step to the right or a step to the left, because they are afraid of laughter and condemnation of the surrounding crowd. How much do you depend on the opinions of others?
