Episode Description: In this episode, Mx Dizzy and Marquis Pup Rekkr sit down with Princess, a passionate community organizer, dollification enthusiast, educator, and co-founder of the Midwest Equine Alliance. Princess shares its personal journey into dollification as a profound form of identity and self-expression, highlighting how embodying a doll can foster empowerment, aesthetic exploration, and a reclamation of narratives surrounding objectification. It discusses how dollification transcends kink or fetish, serving as a queer, anti-mainstream act rooted in themes of objectification and service. Throughout the conversation, Princess emphasizes the importance of authenticity and individual discovery, encouraging listeners to find their own inspiration and approach dollification in a way that feels genuine to them. It explores how aesthetics; clothing, makeup, stillness, poses, and more; can be powerful tools for confidence and self-affirmation. It also addresses community visibility, safety practices, and the urgent need for more inclusive spaces that embrace masc and non-binary dolls.
