As many of you know, I’ve been around the Frag Doll community for a couple years now. Since the beginning, I’ve had a desire to get on the team- I shot a video and wrote a letter of interest and sent them to the Frag Dolls when I first joined the forums. I joined and quickly made many great friends, some whom I count among my best friends today. I was overjoyed to have stumbled upon an online community that fit closer to my personal tastes than I’d found before.

Some months after I joined the community, the Casting Call was announced in the spring of ‘09. I eagerly answered the call by fulfilling the application requirements & conceptualizing a video that I believed showcased both my goofy personality and my love for games. The Frag Doll community had my back through the whole thing, generously offering advice and help along the way. I made it as a semi-finalist, then sent to E3 as a finalist- my first event ever. I had a blast and got to meet some outstanding girls who shared an interest I’d only found in common with guys in the past. I knew I gave it my all and went home feeling like a million bucks. I anxiously awaited the results of the Casting Call to know whether I’d earned myself a spot on the team or not. When I learned that I didn’t, it broke me a little. The support of the community coupled with their belief in me held me together and helped me implicitly, and I’ll always appreciate and love them for that.

(so here’s my shot for a shoutout: Hey Frag Doll kids- I love you guys! Thank you for everything)

Time went on and the Frag Dolls got their Cadette program up ‘n running, and I was part of the first Fall class. I continued to go to all of the major events to work for the Dolls ever since the first. One year later, here I am; back from my first event as an official member of the Frag Doll team. I feel a deeply profound sense of growth and accomplishment within me. I’m proud of myself for not giving up when I didn’t make it on the team at first. I pushed myself to keep on pursuing my dream and eventually it came true.
