my hovercraft is full of eels (ie: HELP)

So . . . I have assessed that my dolls' wigs are in kind of a bad way. Never mind that *I* need a haircut and have nothing to wear to the NY Dolpa (and have holes in most of my socks, this is what happens when you put things off), I can't have them looking shabby. D: I have tried poking DoA, but I found the volume of threads a bit overwhelming ( ( Read more... )

What kind of stuff are you looking for?

Um . . . I don't really know, I kinda figured maybe I'd decide who got to go based on who I could get stuff for :P Naoya and Jynx have both had their "default" wigs for a very long time and don't really have anything else - but I think I'm screwed when it comes to them, because Naoya needs a larger 8-9 (so for example most Kon'd wigs wouldn't fit) in a red color and Jynx needs an intense pink in 6-7 (she looks bad in peach tones). Naoya could probably do okay in something other than the bright red (discontinued LeeKe red) he has now, like a wine or a . . . whatever that red color is that Classic Majesty makes. Jynx has only ever successfully worn LeeKe DF80. >_o Stellan could use a new wig in a milk/white, Sahara is still having hair issues and needs copper or some shade of brown . . . and anyone going would not argue with new shoes because I haven't gotten new ones in ages. It's a stupid coordinating thing, you get kind of tired of what you have, I guess! And heaven knows I'm kicking myself for not getting like ONE h. Naoto set or ( ... )

Have you checked JPop for wigs? Apparently, they're having a sale right now on their Monique Gold wigs. I don't know how much that will help you for your boys, but maybe for your girls?

Have you tried the bigger KonDoll size? Konlin sells 2 sizes for SDs, the smaller DOT size (usually closer to a straight 8) and the SD size (Volks SD size).

I have a couple pink Dollzone wigs that are closer in size to a 6-7 - technically they're for the DZ 1/4 dolls, but their heads are closer to Unoa size. I'm not sure if Dollzone is quite the quality you're used to, though. The fibers aren't as nice as some of the other companies.

When do you leave for Dolpa?

Ah I'm looking now . . . they do have a red one that might work for Nao since he's kind of a girly man :X And they do have at least one pink . . . though I've only ever gotten one of the gold label wigs. It seemed okay, but it was a mohair one, I've never seen one of the fiber ones. And no I only had the smaller Kon'd size - I only ordered from there once. It was when they'd just started, I'm not even sure they had two sizes at the time, don't remember.

I'm leaving Fri the 6th, so I think if I ordered from like. . . CanCan or somewhere with airmail, it wouldn't very likely come in time.
