Sadly, I think Trudie might be the next to go. All money issues aside, I haven't been able to get any decent pictures of her for such a long time. I know she's beautiful and unique, but damned if she hides it from me whenever I get out the camera. It's so frustrating! As both a character and a doll, she's simply not speaking to me anymore, she's ( Read more... )

Why do I always forget that a little bit of sunshine can make a really big difference with my particular camera?

I've decided it IS time to let go of Galatea as a BJD. (I'll always have my anime production cels of her!) I find that what I'm actually enjoying the most is having dolls which are not set in stone in terms of what they wear. That's not to say that Motoko and Sombi don't have their own individual styles, but having a style is miles away from having ( Read more... )

What's worse than the stress of expensive doll parts lost in the mail? The stress of realizing you've massively overspent because of previously mentioned stress. Bugger. Double stress! No wonder I feel under the weather today. Want this to be over now. Want Sombi whole again, want cash-flow restored. I keep looking at the bodyless pictures of Sombi ( Read more... )

It's pretty obvious I'm really starting to stress the hell out over my missing package as I keep buying things to comfort myself. It's disguising itself well because it feels like after months of not seeing all that much doll-stuff worth buying, suddenly I'm finding tons of it? I suspect I'm looking harder (and thusly finding) because I need the ( Read more... )

This is a blatant sales post for a couple of really nice person-sized rings. ;) I only just got them, but they don't fit because I've lost weight inbetween ordering them and receiving them. Sucks to be me, right? They're too lovely to throw in a box and forget about. Both rings feature a prehnite stone set in sterling silver. At each side is a ( Read more... )

It would appear I actually managed to win a cute dollfie dream outfit off Y!J. Considering that every other cute outfit I've ever liked has been liked by people willing to shell out a lot more cash, I'm very surprised. I'm kind of happy, but at the same time I concede that it is possibly not the most intelligent thing I've ever done. Really bad ( Read more... )

Sombi's body parts are still South Africa according to the Royal Mail's website. A friend called them on my behalf to bully them a bit into giving more information and the representative swore it was a typo and that it had definitely been put on a flight to Australia. I don't know what to believe ( Read more... )

Seeing as how it's extremely likely that my parts will take forever to be forwarded to Australia, if they ever even are, I thought I'd go ahead and take pictures of Sombi with her Mystic eyes. Seeing as how there's not much point waiting up for the body to come back home as it were. Also needed something to cheer me up. Photographs which reconfirm ( Read more... )

I really really hope that somebody at the post office made a harmless typo when entering in my tracking details and that my parcel of Sombi parts is in Australia and NOT South Africa. :(

Edit: Not a typo, it really is in South Africa because of 'human error.' Fuck this. I can't fucking afford to lose those parts. :(
