I’m old
It is 10pm on New Year’s Eve and I want to go to bed.
I just got very depressed and ran from the room and howled in despair when Mr. Kallisti chased after me with a bottle of sparkling wine. “I’m sorry!” I wailed. Sorry that I no longer lived the rock and roll lifestyle. Sorry that I couldn’t even stay up til Midnight on NYE to have a glass of sparkling wine in a pink rose encrusted goblet from the Madonna Inn. “I swear, I used to drink a lot! And every night, all night!” I wept. “I could shoot vomit from across the room and still hit the toilet!” I cried, burying my face into his shoulder. “It barely made a splash outside the bowl…” my voice trailed off.
Sigh. That was over ten years ago now. I’d left like Cinderella from the ball, hailing a cab outside a friend’s apartment in the Castro to get home before the vomit flew. I’d made a vow as a teenager to never let your friends see you hurl. After sixteen candy flavored jello shots and half of a log of port wine cheese in the shape of a venus de villendorf I was certain it was coming. Liz, remember that party? I think that was the Gorey party at Autumn & John’s, circa 1994.
After my sob fest I had the Mr. pour me some of that sparklin’ wine. I’m having about 4 oz. before I go to bed. Fuck it. I’ve had my rock and roll. Now I get to be happy.
Biscuit’s couch
This *used* to be Fifi’s couch. And then Biscuit moved in…
For awhile, I didn’t mind if he slept in it while he was a kitten. Pretty as a picture, he was. I would just vacuum it before I gave it back to the girls. Then, every once in awhile I would find it in the middle of the living room. I figured Mr. Kallisti had been vacuuming and moved it, or had needed to get into the media case it stands in front of. And then one day I noticed all these little holes up the side of the right arm. Look closely at the pictures below. You’ll see them.
They’re teeth marks. Where Biscuit had tried to drag the small couch to his secret hidey place under the bed in the bedroom. Where he drags the rest of HIS stuff! Except he never made it farther than about four feet.
Still. It is his couch now. And look how he crams into it, the little bruiser. See how his butt hangs off it. Caught him with his face pressed into the corner. Our tv program was too loud, he says. He couldn’t sleep, he says.
Hmph.
Oh yeah… HAPPY NEW YEAR! To the East Coast anyway.
as California drowns
I was sitting here absorbing the internet and I hear this noise and think “wow, that plane sounds awful close.” like it is landing on the roof. And then realise it is just the rain!
Man. We don’t get real weather very often. Oh boy! I think we probably won’t be going out today.
They finally released BBC’s “Love in a Cold Cimate” on dvd and it arrived yesterday. Perfect day to cuddle with it.
Ack! Biscuit just stuck his tongue right in my mouth! Three times! ♥
Can you feel the rain?
Introducing Miss Merry Wink, a premier Liebchen (#7!) by Fancyboots. Weeeeeeeeee! And yes, she was named after a little motel I saw a sign for up in the Sierras on the way to Tahoe :p
Pictures can’t do her justice. She’s 16″ and so delicate and petite. Her little fingers and toes are all seperated and wee. And she’s entirely sanded and blushed, what a treat! Her resin is to die for, the palest blushy pinky white. And she poses amazingly well. Her little arms are masterpieces.
Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Diep wins the bloo ribbon prize for most beautiful dolly lips ever. That is all.
Oh, except for 283743 more pictures. And yes, all that bloo light is RAIN. Been raining for weeks here. As soon as I clear the christmas stuff out we’ll have more pictures of Miss Merry and the girls. Medora got the spa treatment! But right now the christmas tree is in the way and makes it very difficult for dolly pix. Meh.
I love her little melancholy face. Meh.
Cute isn’t even close…
Aimee, I’m looking at you!
Petite Excelina’s! “Excelina Jenny” are the froofy collector victorian Jenny’s that come out once or twice a year.
Hot tip from Helina at Jenny-land.com! They’ll probably come in a set for all three, that is how the last ones were released. CUTE.
Pssst! Liebchen is here. She arrived at Mr. Kallisti’s work. OH BOY!
New from Volks?
Also, what is this? New Kit Customize Figure:
Is it 1/6th, or…? The base body is only 5,000 yen so probably. Looks like there will be five heads to choose from? Reminds me a bit of the new Azone PureNeemo 25cm figures, except more ball-jointy. Which, btw, will be available as seperate customize figures in January or February as opposed to just dressed dolls.
This Volks figure seems to be available in January… anyone know anything?
EDIT: Blookat posted the English link! Personally, I think it is really neat. And it is ball joint small vinyl! Hoping we can get some on this side of the pond eventually…
Unoa XXX
That means STOP LOOKING if you are wee.
Yuzuko posted about a mook on Japanese love dolls, “I-doloid” which I had to run out and order and have EMS shipped for Mr. Kallisti’s christmas stockin’. Amazon.co.jp = yay.
Both copies I got have Gentaro Araki Unoa spreads. One introduces the new boys and their, um… equipment. The other looks like an intro for Unoa Quluts the 2nd, I’d need some translation help if someone is bored enough.
Milk & Choco are 43cm… so same height as the current Unoas. Are these future releases or WOT!?!?! More va-va-voom pix below the cut!
Meh.
I’m home today with a terrible infection that makes me unhappy. My skin is not my friend. But I’m waiting for Liebchen which cheers me up a bit, but then she’s not here and it is 4:33pm which again makes me sad.
Mr. Kallisti is obsessively finishing up his Batgirl Dollfie project. He started her last year, and then half way through the root job he rested her head on the heater and melted all his hard work. He’s just now got over the devastation enough to finish her up. He’s finished rooting and he’s now gel’ing and setting her hair into flip curls. I’M SO IN LOVE!
Saw King Kong last night. Peter Jackson is the only director you can throw $3478234 billion dollars at and he’ll still make a movie with heart. REAL sweet monkey heart, not fake Ron Spielberg heart :p Best. Movie. Ever. For now anyway…
It has been raining non-stop for almost three weeks. Really puts a cramp in the one commission I took for the holidays but I finally found a few dry hours this weekend. Also repainted Medora. She’s lovely, but has really scary thin eyelids! Careful kids, I imagine they’d break easily!
More pictures in April when we have sunlight. Nyah.
Still searching for couture for all the smaller dolls that are here and on the way.
Um, what else. Oh! Yeah… bad week hormonally and medication wise. I’ve been rolling down the car window in small yuppified mountain towns and screaming “I HATE YOU!!!” at all the latte swilling mofo’s that have ruined the universe. As well as standing in the middle of a Berkeley Super Market yelling “I HATE HIPPIES! Fookin’ pumpkin, zucchini, raisin tamales! I hate you!”
K, for those that know me you might be a little shocked. Mr. Kallisti thinks it is hilarious, as do I… but the sudden tear bursters that go along with this sort of erratic behavior are making me feel like a crazy person. So back on the lexapro with me.
I still hate hippies. I think there should be a concentration camp for people who put raisins on their pizza. SERIOUS.
Merry Christmas!
Happy Saturnalia! from the Angels of Blastmilk!
This was my official christmas holiday card this year! So fun to print something custom, but I wish I’d been able to print more and send them to more people. Poo! But in any case, Happy Solstice et al to all!
And my Christmas has been fab and bursting with love and loot. I’m not used to being spoiled, but it is all the love I couldn’t live without. Sigh…
We made a wee trip to Reno to junk shop but ended up getting comped a suite at the Peppermill o_0 so stayed the night. They haven’t figured out we don’t spend any money yet, yay! Ha! Came back with tbe best loot ever from the Reno antique shops. Dolly clothes haul GALORE, I’ve never been so lucky. Not to mention picking up a smoking boudoir doll for cheap. When we got home I had the largest box in the world waiting for me Friday… the FCS body for Demelza & Angelica the First from NotDoll from Celga… and it had been opened by customs! All was lovely though, celga had to custom build a box to ship them both. The FCS body came in what I assume is a Sato FCS box? It is white with “angels nest” tissue inside, very pretty. And the body is LOVELY. In perfect shape, with apple perky boobies et al. Angelica is a dream, her skin is palest pink. Her face is so delicate and the coloring so rosey yet soft at the same time. She came with her original outfit and one of the Glory Angel AR boy outfits… neither of which she is wearing right now. The christmas pix below are all the vintagey clothes from Friday’s Reno haul (and there’s so much more!). And my mother in law sent a LOAD of hand knitted caps, scarves and ponchos for the girls. Never seen anything so cute! Lulu is sporting the baby blue set.
An extra Happy Christmas from Demelza, Leopoldina and the new little Lizzie Lou Oiseaux!
P.S. I keep looking at this picture… it is so lovely I want to cry. Happy.
