4 oz. of booze makes me do craaaazy things! Like.... BIN!
OMG. I'm selling something tomorrow.
Gothic Lolita: 2005 Archives
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!
Well... it would be Annz in Wonderland, wouldn't it? They've lowered their price a bit, but I've been holding off since the Annz dolls got mixed reviews from friends I trust. The face sculpt and paint just weren't quite up to par, although the kimonos were delightful and well executed.
But Annz in Wonderland... ah!
I also ran across new Rune dolls for preorder on Amazon.co.jp (who is shipping dollies now, zoink!). So much love for all the fairy tale inspired dolls that have been released lately. My collection of Alices has doubled, tripled, quadrupled! I think I need a display just for Alice dolls to live in. IN MY DREAMS! Like I have room... gah. I live in the tiniest wee cottage ever. If you only knew. I sell stuff because it won't FIT!
I'm still waffling over
As I wait for my
I don't usually post wish lists... but I've currently got SO MUCH up in the air, and I keep obsessing so hard about what I'm waiting for that I thought I'd let you all know what I'm up to [queue doom music].
♥ Fancyboots Liebchen: Don't know when to expect her but I've already named her Merry Wink! First release by doll artist Fancyboots at about 16".
♥ Hypermaniac So-som: due sometime in December, unpainted and ready for customization. My first tiny bjd at 13cm.
♥ Angelregion/Notdoll "Only For You" Cossette: They've hinted she may ship in time for Christmas, but I'll believe that when I see it! I've pined for Cossette since I missed her original release. It has always needed to be a snow white girl so I didn't order the basic of UFK kit. And just now they are offering custom girls in any skin tone for a discounted holiday price. I ordered Cossette girl in milky white resin, with silver bob, light blue eyes, extra fisty hands and sad eyebrows. I was going to add an extra Angelica head and sell my current UFK kit to fund this whole project until I saw the following entry on YJP.
♥ White Angelica #1: bought for a pittance on YJP, just barely over what I would have paid for just the head at angelregion. I am so freaky excited to have her. She's also coming with an extra outfit that belonged to the Glory Angel boys. So this is why I'm selling my Angelica. (new) Lizzie & Cossette will be creole sisters, and will be continually taunted by their snooty french cousin Miette. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
♥ Demelza's new body: also from YJP auction, a new FCS body with medium sized boobs. So I'm sellling Demelza's old body that has been cleaned, restrung and sueded for happy posing abilities.
♥ FCS F16 in snow: Due by January 19th. Order placed at the LA Volks store opening with Mikey supervising ^_^ I'm so excited, this experience was beyond belief. I didn't order a Sasha clone, as I don't think she would look enough like Sasha anyways... she's more like a big sister. I attempted to give her some dramatic coloring and brows, very curious to see what volks does with my sketches/instructions. But there is always a chance that I'll wipe it clean and do something totally different. I'm still not entirely clear on her name or personality, I think she'll have to tell me in person. We'll be making a kamikaze trip down to LA as soon as I get notice that she's ready. They would have shipped, but I so want to pick her up in person. What's a seven hour drive for true love, anyways?
So that is it. I am completely inundated with WAITING. Believe it or not, most everything has been paid for by extra work and selling/trading (even if the auctions are still in progress). I've been working extra hard on commissions and extra work to make all this happen and have had very little time to actually PLAY with my dollies. Poor Medora is waiting for a faceup, she's got one eyelash hanging off and can't find a THING to wear with all that makeup on. I've got a commission in to work on so I'll probably do her then.
The amazing thing is I still see new dollies that I covet. I want to stab myself in the eye each time! Shinku and Latidoll (grown up) Lea. OMG.
And then there's a boy... I need a boy. We shall see. Sometime this year I hope to find someone for my girls to pick on. My Artful Dodger... my pale english school boy. My Mr. Cranky Pants.
And don't even mention the outfits I'm trying not to preorder/buy. Ajumapama and Dollheart be damned!
Bunnies and kitties, kitties and bunnies!
Preordered from the lovely Helina at Jenny-Land, as usual! For April delivery. It just doesn't get much better than that. Oh um, except for the Momokos we're waiting for, should be here any minute now...
This just in! PureNeemo from Azone. 25cm and very cute. Look at her thick leetle thighs. Looks like she'll come as a dressed doll for 9,500 yen. And lots of Santa girls below *swoon*!
1/6th 23cm & 27cm:
60cm:
Cinderella print! Eeep. I wish I could squash these on Aschen. Maybe one of the SD13's could though...
Available for preorder from HLJ.com!
Everytime I sit down to write about it my head is so swirly with all the joy and magic of the weekend that I get all spacey and can't make decent prose to save my life. So forgive me if I go a little purple! I really do feel like Cinderella.
Or, skip right to the pictures... and the important bits! 
I won the one-off I entered for, and a long time coveted dream girl: sweet dream nana! in pure skin snow! OMG! I have actually made several failed attempts to get her previously and it never worked out. You have no idea... she's brilliant. They've updated the sd10 girl body since Sylvie's, two years old now, and it is perfect! Knees and legs click into place and are really lovely... she's in the special limited snow, so she's a bit different than Miette. She GLOWS. I can't even stand it. Her face-up is brilliant! Will have to take better pix later, a bunch included in the gallery linked above though. But her eyes are all pink and smokey with dark dark lashes. I will probably replace the lashes with the new fancy volks lashes and paint her teeth so they show. I love dolls with teeth! Her dress and wig are to die for... the wig is custom cut floor length in a light brown. So lovely.
I don't know her name yet.
I dare you to read the long froofy love fest below.
omg. So the most retarded thing I'm stressing about is Fifi's wardrobe for the reception at the Volks Mansion. Who cares what I wear!
You know what is funny, I was looking through the old folder of aaaaaaaaaall her pictures (my photography has come a LONG way the past two years!) and I actually really like the dress I made for her before she even arrived. I think in the long run I'll remake the bonnet (it is the crap) now that I made a better pattern. But dayum. S'cute.
Still don't know what to put her in... nursey?
Or one of the LE outfits?
Or...? Eeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Can't wait.
From all my angels, and li'l devils too...
No kidding. This just in... LA Tenshi no Sumika opening on the 19th (for SD owners list only?) and the 20th for the public.
But check out the LE girls:
That is Liz, Anais & Madoka. OMG. In kimono. I was so secretly horrified at the thought that they would do Malibu Dollfie. No snow white girls though? *whimper* Anais & Madoka though... that is hard.
Also, a FAQ:
Q. Will you start the Full Choice System at the opening? A: Yes. Finally, Full Choice System comes to the USA. We do Full Choice System at the opening of the Tenshi-no-Sumika in LA.
YAYAYAY! Planning to order FCS at the opening. I hope.
Eeep. Supposed to be doing chores, but this was too cool to ignore! So. Excited.
This week! At the Lumiere... one week only.
Official Moobie Site. Oh geez. Maybe I'll have to bring one of the girls in one of the dresses, eh?
Introducing Miss Medora Bee! Spent last weekend watching BBC costume dramas, one of which being Byron... Medora being a character from "The Corsair", and also the [middle] name of his love child by his half sister. I'd been reading about the women in Byron's life recently and couldn't get the name Medora out of my head. So there we are.
I love her! She's pure snow white! Not a drop of color in her pallid resin. She's also very wee, about 13". Everyone keeps asking when I'm going to wipe her face off. I kinda like it, dammint! It is actually very well and delicately executed. She's my leetle ghost girl. I love her hands, very expressive. She shipped from Korea on Sunday and arrived here Tuesday morn... 'magine that!
(click for larger image, as per usual)
Can't think of a better way to introduce Medora than to wish Mia all the best in the world! ♥! She has a big heart and a glisteny sense of style. Mwah!
And the only excuse I have for the belated is it has been rainy and grey and DARK by the time I get home :/
Oh boy. Oh boy. Check out the whole collection. I can't possibly decide on which bits to get! Eeeeeeeeeeek! Most definately the winter coat. I've been on a dolly coat bender lately. All my dolls will be woolly lolly coated!
Available for preorder at HLJ.com!
Fairies of Darkness past entries...
Innocent World:
You might as well be a doll! You have perfected
the wide-eyed innocence of youth that everyone
can only wish for. Will you ever grow up?
Which Gothic Lolita Fashion House Is For You?!
brought to you by Quizilla
And on a side note, another week of empty promises, no Black Melody shippy noticies! I think I must steal myself, she might not be here for Halloween. ::sobbing icon::
You're a Victorian-era corset. How refined.
What corset are you?
brought to you by Quizilla
Stolen from... someone on LJ ^_^!
I'm getting antsy for my Black Melody! Oh boy, oh boy! She's supposed to ship in a week from Dollmore. I love her little fingers, that is what sold me on the sculpt. It is always the fingers. She'll be 13-14"... a bit taller than I originally thought. I really like her extreme dead baby make-up. We'll keep it for awhile... that'll be a first! I wonder if her dress is going to be quality at all? Black is so hard to tell online. Meh. I also ordered 82473 pairs of stockings from Dollmore. Yay! I hate sewing them...
Also, Dollheart has new mix 'n' match for 60cm! I'm waiting for them to get the less casual stuff in stock. Heh. I haven't much liked any of their new dress lines over all lately. Foof.
My first leetle one, white skinned Narsha: Black Melody. 35cm. What can she wear??? Any suggestions helpful!
It is that time again. Azone October collection. Sigh...
Unfortunately, their Halloween outfits always come out IN October, so you'll be lucky to get them on your dolly for the holiday. But this is a particularly cute witchypoo ensemble for 1/6th, Jenny & Momoko sized! I wish'd they do 60cm Halloween outfits. Meh.
But wait! It doesn't stop there...
Cutie dolls, Black Rabbit & Festa Cuore (whatever that means):
That also comes in 60cm! Not to mention some cutie patootie ballet & 23cm (blythe & licca sized) outfits!
So great to meet everyone and see all the gorgeous and much loved dollies.
Click for a whole gallery! A lot more would have made it if I hadn't shot them over exposed :/ Bleh. They're not badly photographed, they're artistic!
Funniest thing, when a very nice gent set up his Hound there was (literally) a collective sigh from all surrounding females (and there were a lot of us). As if hypnotized we all moved a little bit closer and sort of hovered, breathless and in awe. It was as if the resin emanated testosterone, really amazing, and very funny. If you are on the fence about Hound, get off it. Amazing.
Another new crush? Soah... Devon brought his Soah and she is exquisite. She had the most gorgeously painted eyebrows, hands down. Truly looks like the old Japanese doll painting. So in awe.
Thanks to everyone, twas loverly!
Happening August 21st! The clothing went up...
Undies!
And cuteness...
I still want the White Rose underwear set if anyone wants to part with it! Pwease?
It is a veritable parade! Jenny-land finally posted new upcoming Jenny pix (not her fault, Takara has had Jenny on hiatus all year!) and she has posted pix for this year's Anniversary Jenny's that I've been eagerly awaiting since Hobby Search first posted these horrible sketches. In any case, thanks to Tikistitch for posting them first!
The August Anniversary Girls! (omg, lolita bunnies!)
The Jenny's Club Exclusives
And the December Birthday Exclusives that must be preordered by tomorrow from Jenny-land!
Still cute though. Meh.
Fifi Mahony v4.0
Poor Fifi, she's been in the head cabinet since Gin arrived. Gin desperately needs a body because I love them both very much! But until I was ready to send Fifi to the Blastmilk spa, she was content to live in the cabinet. Well, more or less.
Funny story. I fully intended to freak out blastmilk readers by giving her a totally different face-up. I see so many gorgeous F13's that I really wanted to try something different. Honest. But clearly she would have none of it. Fifi is completely married to her drag queen gothic persona. I have nothing to do with it.
The details: she's sportin' new Volks lashes, that are just as much the super drag queen lashes as the volks gothic lashes are. Sweet! Also, she finally got her baby pink zoukies. Mew. She would have gotten them as her default FCS eyes if Volks had had them at the time. And, best of all, both her and Ondine are sportin' the fruits of a recent trip to Japan by Erin Fae, who graciously offered to be my happy Volks shopping fairy. These two dresses were bought at Volks, but were probably left overs from a recent dolpa, very handmade... but very cool. Lots of super cute broken english screenprinted, my favorite being "pubic enemy"... teehee! Ondine also got the light brown w1 wig, I love these wigs so much. They are all gorgeous. She also brought me back some super 1/6th clothing etc that I'll be showing off later. YAY.
Shot in the early morning sun.
The wee wicker chair was sent by my sweet mother in law. So. Cute!
This is a BIG FAT thank you to Kelly! Who took the trouble to pick up a basket full of Volks clothes at Dolpa in Tokyo last week for us kids who couldn't make the journey. Miette is wearing one of the Volks MSD lolita dresses (she got two!). Hard to photograph, being all black, it appears like a big buncha shapeless ruffles. But in person the dress is very structured and fitted. Really gorgeous. I'm impressed.
Demelza has had this dress for awhile... but for some reason I have a hard time photographing it. Well, I give up. Here's my bad photos of a REALLY CUTE OUTFIT. The ensemble w/ the black wig is much more awesome in person, I can't take her out of it. Kitten dress from YJP. Whoop!
My little refugee... has made a trip to the Salon du Blastmilk!
cutest. picture. ever. the end.
Oh, alright. There's more.
Another Global "Bleuette" outfit! I really like this one too, and I think it is even a better fit. The wig, a wee Global mohair wig is too small! *cry* It is being held on by just the cap. Still so cute. Will see if there is some way to mangle it so it fits.
Props by American Girl. They are rad! The detail is super fab. However, with moving parts and so much detail, things like the camera will break easily so be careful. Also got the night stand and wash set! A little short for SD, still makes a good prop.
Demelza had to try her hand with the stereoscope...
The detail, again, is gorgeous. Brown velvet rim around the mask, punched designs in metal mask casing, all wood parts. The metal is soft, so you have to be careful not to snap off the moving handle. It comes with stereoview cards of national monuments!
Fab find of the day... a vintage wicker baby buggy with collapsible canvas top. In perfect working order! Perfect size for St. Trinian or, dare I say, a mini super dollfie! *wink* Also got two gorgeous miniature framed pieces of needlework. You can see one or two in the background of these photos. They are tiny cross stitch silhouettes of 18th century style couple at their writing desks writing. We didn't have a lot of money, and she wanted $50 for the pair. I offered $35, as it was all I had left and told her I knew it wasn't enough. She was very sweet but declined. I got a few stalls down and she came after me and said she could tell I really loved them, if I wanted them at $35 they were mine. I was so shocked, what a gorgeous woman! So sweet. They remind me so much of my grandmother and her things, and her needlework. I will get a better picture of them later.
Other new stuff. Bargain of the week. Got a crate of goods from Audrey's doll supply. In less than a week! They actually had everything in stock. I bought mostly mohair wigs, but this little acrylic one in sausage curls is quite sweet, though at a 6-7 is a bit big for Trinian. But, ta-dah! The Global "bleuette" outfits fit her! I took a stab at it and ordered a couple. This little brown wool suit is FAB. A bit on the wide side, but fits decently all the same. I'm going back and getting the communion outfit.
Trinian is also trying out her new masterpiece eyes. They are a little "bright" for me. I was hoping for something pale, but not so shiney? Dunno. I got the antique pink as well, and those are definately too shiney. Merp.
Ondine Alice loves pushing St. Trinian around. But she had a little accident with the buggy and got a smudge on her cheek. Trying to clean it off rubbed some of her blushing. Sigh... will need to redo her at some point now. If I could just save those eyebrows!
I finally caved and bought my favorite two BTSSB outfits for Super Dollfie. I waited and kept bidding until I got the bargain I wanted. I can't tell you how beautifully produced these outfits are, they are truly stunning. Mew, mew, mew! Fifi is of course wearing the Dollheart London outfit. All the girls have had it on, it refuses to go back on the shelf. I don't have to tell you how much I really love it...
Click below for tons more pix. Oh, my girls, my girls...
