Sugar's a pretty princess

Put Sugar in a Princess Time dress I won from Y!J recently, just because I wanted to. :U



Too bad this ended up a little blurry. :U But I always like seeing Sugar's blue hair with soft-colored frilly outfits. :3



Teehee, pretty Sugar. ♥

There's also a little bolero that came with the outfit, but I left that off. It was just a little too much. :U I was actually pretty surprised how cheaply I got the outfit, though! I guess it's either not a well-known or well-liked brand, since I've witnessed several dresses go for over $1000 on Y!J recently that while very lovely, don't have much different from dresses & dress sets that go for $50 in some cases, except for a well-known brand. I'd love to get some of those sets, of course, and there are brands that really deserve high prices because of the work put into them, but the humongous price gap is pretty ridiculous in most cases. Like, I was willing to bid about $350 on one of the sets that went for over $1K, and considered even that to be more of a "brand" price than what it would've sold for in a dealer's shop. I wonder if the really nice fancy brand dealers are making fewer outfits in general, and that's why they go for so high on auction, or if people just have that much more money these days. Or if the people with all the money just happened to finally get into the bjd hobby or something. :/ Even when I compare the price that the last Reisner head Robin's Egg auctioned (last year or the year before, I don't remember) which, IMHO, wasn't as handsome as Fall, to the price I paid for Fall's head, which wasn't a small amount, the difference is huge. And it seems like Robin's Egg has kind of been less popular these days than she was a few years back.

Ah well, I guess my complaining is also firmly rooted in the fact that I can't pay $1K for a dress if I had the inclination these days, no matter what. I miss having more disposable income to blow on fun dollie things and am pretty tired of scraping pennies to buy even cheaper items. Also, maybe I should stop complaining about not having money in my LJ posts, but I have a strong suspicion that maybe 0-5 people max ever read them, so who cares. I like having a place to vent! :U

Oh yeah, I'm getting sick, too. I can't tell if it'll turn into something full-fledged, or if I'll just be vaguely uncomfortable for a few days like usual. My immune system can't make up it's mind it seems. I'm already tired of having a sore throat, though, and was feeling kind of woozy last night. Today I'm just sore-throated (still) and talking like a phone-sex operator. But as I'm just hanging out at home and yelling at the cats when they're being naughty, there's not even any fun in it. :'B
