On an initial search, the closest I can find to your claim is that 30 is the average age of diagnosis, but that has as much to do with the stigma and difficulty of diagnosing/getting diagnosed with DID as anything else.

Hello, Mexican girl here, I may not be black but I love seeing darker tones being represented, because many of the dolls I see in the stores have white or pale skin and there's always just a black or latino doll just sitting all the way in the back because nobody wanted her all because the colour of her skin :( , but this is amazing, i truly appreciate how you carefully decorated her and made her look amazing without changing her skin colour, it means the world to me and I'm glad that the doll decorating community is becoming more inclusive, thank you❤!

Whenever I watch someone make something for their Smart Doll, I get the urge to go to the Smart Doll site and, ogle the dolls... but man, are they spendy. ;; Also, Danny Choo's humor... It kinda rubs me the wrong way. Maybe I just don't 'get it'. If anyone has had experience with buying Smart Dolls, and wants to share their opinion, I would love to hear it. Alternatively if someone wants to recommend a different brand, perhaps a BJD that's easier on the wallet, but still quality, feel free.

@@teacup4561 When Alex puts mica powder on her skin at 10:52, she says "We all know vampires have sparkly skin~." It's a direct reference to Twilight vampires sparkling/glowing in the light.
