10-23-08: Perfection

Alice in Labyrinth "Alice" head with Cristy Stone faceup. Her name is Isabel and she's the newest kid on the block, arrived earlier this week. Currently sharing a body with Sophie.

By the way that Dollga wig is spectacular!

10-12-08: Five months later...

My doll buying activities have slowed down quite a bit, so I only have two newbies to report: gorgeous FDQ limited Volks Masha and adorable Lati Yellow HK elf Lea. Volks Mirai, Volks MSD F-13 and Pingping are history.

Here is Masha (Ruby) with her gorgeous faceup by Englemech - finally somebody who doesn't look possessed in Afghan eyes!

Isn't she stunning? Here's another one:

and little HK elf Lea (Violet, of course :))... I'm on another Lati kick and have basic Lumi on order as well.

5-21-08: Revolving Door
I got lazy and neglected to update this journal for over 2 months so I'm a little confused about who came and who went, but I'll take a stab at it:

Out: CH Bisou Ai Bonbon, CH Unique Knight of Queen Yuna (Cebee) and Bambicrony Misty Blue Elf Pepe fullset. Must note that I was pleasantly surprised by how much the Elf had appreciated in value ;) Can't remember who and what else I sold - err.

In:  Castleanne One Off "She Love NY". Beautiful girl I always had my eye on. There's only one so I got extra lucky when she came up for sale on DoA. Her name is Cassie.

CH Bisou Ai basic Uu. Bonbon was my least favorite sculpt so I let her go. Something about the eyes being too far apart. Chubby cheeked, pouty Uu (below in red & black) has taken her place in the Bisou parade.

Latidoll grownup ver Pury. Major impulse buy on eBay. Not much else to say other than she's really stunning for a squat tiny :) I may angle for a white line sp Pury some day. She's the big girl in the middle.

Volks MSD F-13 cat girl. I think I mentioned her in March. Got her on Y!J and named her Amanda. She's a pretty doll but the jury's still out on her because we haven't yet bonded. Some new eyes could do it... As you can see she's currently buddied up with antique-y Ivy.

Souldoll Soul Sweet Ponette. Saw her when she was introduced and HAD to have her. Fortunately there were funds in my Paypal account - a rare state ;) I've named her Fleur.

3-16-08: The ants go marching two by two...
My two Latis arrived and I was a bit disappointed to find I could only bond with the little one, Lily (Pepper). Yellow line Cookie is stunning but always seems on the verge of tears and I get a lump in my throat when I look at her. The poor child seems so dejected!

Fortunately I had no trouble selling her.

On the other hand, White line Lily is a joy to behold. Eeeeee! She looks perpetually surprised :)

I like the larger special body size because it's more in proportion with the head. She and Olive are about the same size and they make the cutest pair, happily sharing their teeny wigs, clothes and shoes.

In addition to the sale of Cookie, I also offloaded two more: Dulce (Dollga Noella) and Pela (CH Fairy Ai Hanael). No reason to go into the gory details of it...just needed money. 

So...I paid bills and bought two more! (This is definitely a month full of twos...hope it isn't bad luck!)

First up - Volks Mini Dollfie Dream Mirai. Until recently I haven't been even faintly interested in the vinyl DD dolls, but I saw some owner pix of MDD Mirai on DoA and funny stuff started happening in my head. Uh oh! I ordered the last one (she's a Dolpa 18 limited) from We Love Dolls and she arrived yesterday. We named her Jamie. I love her poseability and sweet anime face. Of course the very first thing I did was take Jamie apart to see how she's constructed. Had a bad moment when I almost couldn't get her foot back on! I'm a DD noob.

Here it's like she's saying "Look ma, no doll stand!!!" She's light and has screws and funny joints and a soft head but I find her delightful in all the important ways :)

The second doll is on her way (hopefully). I nabbed a Volks MSD F-13 (with kitty ears!) on Y!J for a very reasonable price. Very much looking forward to her arrival.

2-9-08: Mrarrr!!
While awaiting my Latis I discovered another tiny creature who captured my heart with an itty bitty face and cutie kitty parts. She's a pukipuki pipi, the tinies with the magnetic limbs. She arrived a couple days ago and I haven't been able to put her down since! After amusing myself by seeing what she'll stick to (fridge, toaster) I got down to business and painted her pukisha parts. All together now "Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!"

Olive with human parts:

Trying on her unfinished pukisha parts:

Olive the kitty's colors emerge :)

I didn't order the transformation face because it looks partially human and gives me the creeps. That said I appreciate the artistry of some of the  beautiful transformation faceups I've seen. Nothing against mythical creatures mind you (fairies and elves rock!) but hybrid human/animal mixes really aren't my thing. I like that it looks like Olive is wearing a costume when she dons her pukisha parts.

1-11-08: Sea sprite in the house
Introducing Pela, CH Fairy Ai Whisper of Water Hanael. Second only to those gorgeous depthless blue eyes, I think the clever mermaid ears are my favorite. They rest on her human ears and latch through a slot between the headcap and the head - the fit is perfect. Alchemic Labo thought of it first but the fit of Unoa cat ears, horns etc isn't nearly as secure.

I changed her wig to a lavender one in these photos. It matches her gown and eyelashes and I prefer it to her default which is too thick and hard to tuck around the ears.  The wings are beautiful but the magnetic seal isn't as strong as it could be so they can knock off easily. Have to admit I tried out Azul's Bambicrony insect wings hoping she can borrow them but unfortunately one of Pela's magnets is reverse polarity so only one Bambicrony wing will stay affixed. Darn!

Following is an official CH Pic with default wig - what a stunner!

Hold on, I wonder if one of Pela's magnets is on backwards...? That could explain why the wings don't hold firmly. I'll have to check that out. They are visible on her back so I could dig one out, flip it and re-glue if that's the case.

Lati babies
Cookie and Lily are ordered and will hopefully ship at the end this month. I'd love to win one of those adorable Pury sleeping angels as well (there are 50 of them!) but I'm trying not to think about it too much. They said winners will be notified mid-January.
