I personally am skeptical of this defense but as far as I know there is no way to prove, one way or another, which side is true.
I'm actually not surprised. It was around the same time she left very transphobic comments on an old MLPTP thread, she intentionally misgendered someone even after being politely told not to. She used the same excuse then, that it was someone else and oh the comments were so old anyway why care. Blaming someone else is her go-to excuse.Oh jeez, really? I had no clue, ugh, that's so gross.
Thanks for posting this.

I haven't done business with her in years and we've had it out on the forums before (she blamed her sister that time). She's also wrong in that you can ONLY get nice nylon matching hair from her site. Totally false. RetroDolls US has exact matching colors and is a lovely quality. There is really no reason to keep buying hair from her.

Thanks for posting this.Which thread was this? How long ago? Yikes just own up to it man. I suppose if she doesn't care why would she. :mad: :(

Here's the reason "it was my ex husband or a competitor" doesn't make sense to me.Oh wow so they hid the profile as well? This is the first I've heard of that. Was that the first time this got leaked or this recent time?
Ex-husband excuse:
1. The posts don't use her real name. If you were trying to smear someone in real life, you would use their real name and really specific details about their life, details that only DollyHair (and people close to her in real life--like ex-husband) would know. You wouldn't count on real life people knowing her email.
2. The account was made in 2005 . . . but the two posts we have screenshots from are from 2007. So the husband made the account and then waited two years to start a smear campaign? Doesn't make sense.
3. She said she was going through a bitter custody battle, but the posts talk about "my FUTURE children". So either she & hubby did not have kids at the time, or this was a misrepresentation. If they didn't have kids: how could these posts be used in custody battle? Did the husband just have a really good crystal ball?
4. She says she went through a bitter divorce, and probably she did. But not until 2012 (according to her). And the posts are from 2007. So again . . . husband with crystal ball?
Moving on. The "it was a bitter competitor" excuse:
1. Racist posts made in 2007. But aren't found and screenshotted by the doll hair buying community until 2015 . . . eight years later. Wow! That hypothetical competitor has a real problem with procrastination!
2. Just as the screenshots are being made public . . . the owner of the racist account changes its settings to make the profile not viewable. That doesn't make sense if it was someone else, out to tarnish her name.
DH has always had a lot of customer service problem--not sending hair, sending the wrong hair, not sending refunds, not answering emails for months at a time, and at one point consistently shorting people on hair. And somehow someone else is always to blame . . . her assistant, her ex-husband, the postal service, or the customers themselves.
I guess what I'm saying is, I was very shocked when I came across those screenshots. But at the same time . . . it does fit a pattern. Of blaming other people for life's problems.
Which thread was this? How long ago?
I'm quite curious about it so that's disappointing. Apparently this was also addressed in a thread on the MLPTP back in 2015, but nothing came of thatWhich thread was this? How long ago?
It was a post on the old MLPTP forum which as far as I know was never archived. It had come up in a thread on the Arena too but unfortunately those archives aren't available either right now (I get a password input prompt when I click on the link).
The original post was from around the same time, 2006-7.
a newer comment? i haven't seen hide nor hair of her in over 24 hours...
This is so messy, sad and just......Totally disturbing. She sounds...Kinda insane to me. She made a comment on it on tumblr in case that wasn't known
Oh jesus, I was planning on buying from them this Christmas! Glad I know now, anybody else got alternative sites? I know of an aus IG seller that deals in hair, I know there's more hair sellers but I can't lay my finger on their names.Retro dolls us, is one, there's a page with links to alternatives let me see if I can get it for you
Vampfyrefay on Tumblr made a great list of alternatives! :)that was the one i was thinking of! Tumblr is so confusing to me i swear!

Glad you remembered your log in! Thanks for chiming in and clarifying stuff! very helpful and good to know! :D
TheDollPlanet does not sell nylon, I'm not sure why they're labeling it nylon (I think they also call it something like 'Silk nylon' lol), but it's actually (I believe) PET hair; this is the kind of fiber used on heat-resisting BJD wigs. It's not bad hair, but it looks and behaves in a completely different way than nylon and isn't as shiny or luxurious as nylon. Not looking to disparage that company but figured that since we're sharing alternatives that I'd provide some input on that one in particular because I don't want anyone to purchase from them under the impression that they're getting nylon and end up with something else.
I'm sure most of you already know that Restoredoll's 'nylon' is nasty polypropylene, and the 'premium nylon' is real n
I'm glad the info was helpful :)Ok so the one on tumblr is known. http://mlptp.net/index.php?threads/i-am-a-wee-bit-confused-now-about-nylon-mlp-hair.13006/#post-810790 <<<<<<<<<<<<<< This was not found by me. Guess this was out there but nothing came of it.a newer comment? i haven't seen hide nor hair of her in over 24 hours...

”Can't we all work together to try to find (or create) a place like that, where we're not willing to sell our houses to non whites, where we're not willing to do business with non whites, and where we can set up a private school for our children and exclue whomever we want to exclude?"
There are also a bunch of doll hair sellers on Aliexpress but I don't know what material their hair is made of. The language barrier makes things a little tricky because conversations go like:
Me: Hi there! What's your doll hair made of?
Them: Yes we have great hair for dolls! High quality and heat resistant!
Me: Great! What's it made of?
Them: Doll hair! :D
That said the hair is pretty inexpensive there so if you see a color you like it might be worth it to order one hank to see what it is?
If it really was her on that forum then she is not just a racist but she is extremely dumb. She used her e-mail address for that and her business?! LmaoWhoa I just noticed that......I guess people didn't realize what you did on the internet could come back to slap you in the face years later :huh:
I bought hair from that place years ago. Certainly won't do it again until she can produce evidence to the contrary. Which she probably can't.
Now I just wish EU sellers would restock more often.
I've been buying hair, paint, brushes etc. from Dollyhair for years. I've been really pleased with the products. It felt good that I could always come back for more if I ran out of anything, and know what I was getting. Furthermore the site was just fun to browse even if I wasn't buying anything, and the MLP hair matching guide was so helpful (even if I knew they weren't 100% accurate).people like this won't ever change their ways unfortunately.
I had heard that some people had trouble with their orders from there, but I always got my packages fine and never made any big expensive orders, so I was never bothered about it. But if I had known then what I know now about the person who runs the site I never would've ordered from there. I'm really thankful to the people that've been passing this information along. I wish I'd heard of it sooner so I wouldn't have developed an affinity for the site, and not have to feel so sad right now that I won't be able to buy from there anymore. Fortunately, finding a new source for doll hair and paint is a small price to pay to avoid giving my money to a white supremacist.
I guess it's possible Tina has turned around and learned the error of her ways since the posts were made, and it'd be nice if that was the case. But she really needs to do something dramatic and clearly show that she doesn't hold these values anymore before I'd ever be comfortable with the thought of doing business with her again.
Her excuses are weak, but it's no surprise that a neo-nazi is stupid.

This is such a naive thing to say. National-socialists do not come into power by being stupid. I know you were just trying to insult them but actual neo nazis are in fact skilled manipulators and schemers. They're not all screaming oafs. That's why so many of them are hard to observe or track down.
Your next door neighbor could openly be one and you'd never know. Especially if you are living in the US where it's normal to salute a huge flag in your house, say "God bless" to everything and be obsessed with military.
I grew up with Tumblr saying "Punch a Nazi" and stuff like that, so my knowledge might be incomplete or inaccurate.
And helps justify/solidify/reinforce their ideology.I grew up with Tumblr saying "Punch a Nazi" and stuff like that, so my knowledge might be incomplete or inaccurate.
The irony is these tumblr users with their internet bravado wouldn't have the guts to punch an actual out and proud neo irl.
Making light of or mocking neos is never a good idea. For once because they are dangerous and also because it trivializes their impact.
That's as political as I can get without breaking Arena rules, I hope. I'll stop with that subject now. I only brought it up because I consider it unwise to mock dangerous people. It just eggs them on.
If you have an emotional investment in someone (even someone you've never met), it can be hard to accept a nasty truth about them.
