You can always count on me to find and document for you the latest in style, fashion, and anything hip. Actually, I may be a bit late on this trend... In doing a quick internet search this seems to have been going on for several years and started in Korea / Japan.These two young women said they get together monthly to take pictures of their dolls. The dolls were made in Korea (you can special order them and they aren't cheap) and then dress them in various fashions and styles.
Here are some web sites if you are interested in more information. They recommended the first one and the others turned up in a quick google search:

Apparently there was a Korean horror movie made about ball joint dolls. After all, there have been plenty of horror movies about puppets. But they seem a lot less threatening than a puppet to me (was Chucky a puppet or a doll?). I mean, these dolls can be posed but they can't actually move like a puppet.

I like this post, Dad. I really like when you tell stories like this to accompany your pictures.
That being said I do not want a ball joint doll.
