The first time I looked at a Pinky it was just like this      LOVE AT 1ST SIGHT.

And its been a  relationship since 

Aliya~

I was searching ebay for Fruits Basket merchandise (back when I was into Furuba) and I saw the Tohru one! I google search the brand, and came here!

Been happy ever since!
With a bunch of little Bleach pinkies, and no Furuba pinkies!

My older sister recieved one for her birthday. I thought it was adorable. my younger sister got one for her birthday 12 days later. 4 days later, I recieved the pinky street that addicted me to these little dolls

I cant really remember exactly the first time I saw a picture of a pinky, but I am sure it is my general interest in anime, and Japanese culture itself that made me find out about Pinkies.
The first time I saw one in person, it was a doll meet up (for BJD) and a newer member of the BJD forums brought her Pinkies along because she didnt have a BJD yet. I didnt really ask about them, and just glanced at them and thought they were sweet. I think I knew about Pinkies since they first came out, but here I am now, years later waiting for my first!

I found out about Pinkies through my Pullip habit - much like how I discovered Pullips through my My Little Pony habit. I probably first spotted them in people's avatars, or on websites dedicated to Pullips and Pinkies. Much like my Pullip habit (which was first sparked by seeing a photo of Noir and Nero, but which didn't lead to me buying a Pullip for two years or so), I noticed Pinkies long before I bought one. I think it was probably Moe I first noticed, probably the Go! Go! Pinky Street Figure and Book Set repaint, since her pink outfit is exactly the sort of thing I tend to fall in love with >.>

Now I already have two ordered, and I'm planning on buying at least two more (and it will probably grow to at least 14, since that's how many Pullips I have, and I want each of my Pullips to have their own mini-me ^-^;;)

I first discovered Pinkies a few years ago while browsing anime stuff online. I thought they were adorable, but I didn't really know what they were. I didn't get my first until some time later, because ordering things online has been a hassle to me until recently. I got my first two Pinkies at an actual store, a year apart from each other, and I got two online in the last month, and another should be coming soon. Yay for Paypal!

I had seen some pictures of them and thought they were cute but I had no idea what they were. Then a while later someone posted a thread about them on a forum I go to and I learned more about them and started to want one. 

I was looking for something to photograph while traveling.  They are small, so they are easy to pack and keep on your person for this purpose.  I really liked that the parts were interchangeable so you could have varying pictures as though the girls were actually traveling as well.

  Found out from a fellow re-ment collector who also collects pinky st and pullip dolls.

Back in 2004 I was looking at a Newtype mag and saw a pic of the first Pinky Rei and Asuka. I'm a big fan of Evangelion and they were so adorable and caught my attention. I'm just now getting around to ordering my first Pinky lol.
