So you like to play with dolls?
It was a warm spring afternoon, and I was enjoying a glass of wine with a female friend. We'd been talking about our personal likes and dislikes in the world of BDSM, and had discovered a number of similar interests.
"Do you like to be dressed up?"
It seemed an odd question, both in the way that she asked it, and in the fact that she was an adult woman, asking me, another adult woman, the question. But hey, I'm a kinky girl. I get asked a lot of odd questions. And the truth is, sure, I love to dress up.
I know, I know, I'm going to get frowned at by the "true" BDSMers, the ones for who this isn't a game.
"We don't dress up!" they'll say.
And I can respect that.
But I'll let you in on a little secret. For me, lots of times BDSM is a game. And dressing up is part of it. I get to dress in clothes I can't wear anywhere else: sexy, slutty, naughty, eyebrow-raising, body-exposing clothes and skyscraper-tall shoes. I get to prance around in negligees and dresses so tight they look painted on. Hell, I've gotten to strut around the ballroom of a hotel with only paint on, dressed up like a 14-year old boy's fantasy of a naughty librarian, and completely naked.
So um, yeah. I like to get dressed up.
She shook her head at me. "I know that," she said. "But what I asked was if you like to be dressed up. Do you like to have someone dress you up?"
A different question altogether. "Like, pick my clothes out for me?"
She nodded. "And more...Have you ever had someone actually dress you, put your clothes on you, do your hair and make-up, while you weren't allowed to move or speak, except when he or she made you? You know, like with a real doll they are playing with?"
I could feel a grin spreading across my face. The ultimate in objectification and control, I thought. This could be fun. "Where do I sign up?" I asked.
And that was my introduction to the kink of dollification.

What is dollification?
Dollification is the act of, or fantasy of, turning oneself or someone else, physically and/or mentally, into a "living doll." That would be a strict definition of the term (which Dictionary.com doesn't recognize, by the way). But the reality of what that looks like is as different as the "dollers" and "dollies" themselves.
The doller is the person "creating" the doll, or dollie. The dollie is the person being turned into a living doll. Methods can include everything from dressing the human doll a certain way, requiring certain types of behavior, such as not speaking, maintaining a doll-like pose or learning to have as blank and empty an expression as possible, to more extreme methods such as hypnosis techniques to convince the person that he or she actually is a living doll (for the time that they are hypnotized), and even to permanent methods, such as body modifications.
Clothing and costuming is an important aspect of dollification, since so much of the fetish involves the visual image of the doll. The types of clothing and dolls fall into broad categories: frilly, Alice in Wonderland types, rag-dolls, rubber dolls, Barbie dolls, Lolita-style dolls and bondage dolls, as well as robot dolls and wind-ups, to name a few. Some like a more life-like look, while others prefer a plasticized, porcelain or rubberized look. Hair and make-up are also key to achieving the desired doll-like appearance.
