About Live & Let Live

In a world saturated with unsolicited opinions and pervasive societal norms, Live and Let Live stands as a beacon of resilience and authenticity.

From a young age, she has been persistently confronted with the proclamations of external voices. Neighbors, distant relatives, and even strangers have felt entitled to dictate not only how she should behave and think but also how she should look and dress.

However, Live and Let Live is endowed with a unique form of inner strength. Early on, she grasped that life wasn’t meant to be lived by others' standards, so she forged her own path. Armed with unwavering determination and a heart full of dreams, she passionately pursues her life's goals. Rather than defending her choices, she lets her accomplishments speak for themselves.

As she navigates her journey, she becomes a living testament to the idea that each person's life is their own unique work of art, and no one else holds the brush. This unspoken mantra resonates with many, serving as a powerful inspiration for those who find themselves pressured by external expectations.

While she doesn't invest energy in trying to change the minds of those who challenge or attempt to define her, she lives by the "let live" philosophy, acknowledging others' right to their perspectives while continuing unabated on her unique journey.

"Live and Let Live" is more than a name; it encapsulates a philosophy. Her story is one of unwavering commitment to her authentic self amid a sea of external pressures, reminding us all that the most potent form of resistance is often simply to thrive.

Before You Buy

At Smart Doll Land, we recognize that everyone has their own unique standards when it comes to determining what is considered high quality or subpar. Our products are deeply infused with the Japanese philosophy of Wabi-Sabi, a principle that's integral to our design ethos. This concept celebrates the beauty of impermanence and imperfection, and while many of our customers appreciate this approach, we understand that it might be perceived by some as a justification for poor quality.

It's important to note that collectors who are accustomed to perfectly manufactured, machine-made dolls may find our products different from their expectations. Our dolls, embracing the Wabi-Sabi aesthetic, often showcase characteristics that stand in contrast to the flawless uniformity found in mass-produced items. This distinction is fundamental to our brand's identity and reflects a deliberate choice to value uniqueness and authenticity.

We strongly encourage you to familiarize yourself with our Pear Body Smart Dolls before making a purchase. In fact, if possible, we recommend examining a Smart Doll in person, perhaps through a friend who owns one, to truly appreciate their unique qualities and to understand how they differ from more conventional, machine-made dolls.

At Smart Doll Land, you'll find that no one will pressure you into making a purchase. Our goal isn't to convince you to buy a Smart Doll; rather, we encourage you to carefully consider your decision, especially if you're used to other doll brands. We believe in informed choices and want you to be completely satisfied and connected with your Smart Doll if you decide to welcome one into your life.

About the wig

The wig that comes with this character is designed with a "turnover" construction allowing the hair to be swept back while minimizing the amount of wig cap showing.
The challenge with this design is the initial difficulty in putting it on. On the upside, it ensures the wig stays firmly in place, minimizing the chances of it being whisked up by the wind and landing in dog poo.

For those with arthritis or similar conditions, it's worth noting that you can leave a note with your order requesting that the wig be attached prior to shipping. We typically add double-sided tape beneath the wig for an added layer of security, but be aware this may leave residue between the head and the wig cap. Check out the video below to see how to attach the wig.

The wig, similar to any tight-fitting apparel, can leave indentations on the vinyl. While all our wigs can cause such marks, this wig tends to produce deeper and more noticeable indentations due to its construction that does not employ elastic - photos on this page are an example.

The styling oil used for the wig might sometimes permeate the wig cap, producing a residue on the head. This residue can appear dark, but it's typically the oil rather than an ink stain.

It might be possible to mitigate some of these indentations by employing a hair dryer and rubbing with some thinner (like the Mr Hobby type shown in the photo). However, outcomes are not guaranteed. If you're planning to keep the wig on perpetually, these concerns may be negligible. But if they pose a potential problem, reconsidering your purchase might be in order. It's worth noting that we don't allow options to select specific wigs, omit the wig from the order, or adjust the cost by excluding the wig's value.

The 'Perfectly Imperfect' document further details issues with our wigs that you should be informed about.
