Recently in Licca & Jenny Category

I've been pining for, like, six years for one of these babies. I missed the original releases, and they're very rare on the aftermarket. BOOYAH! She actually came from Berkeley!

Meow, meow, meow!

I've never wanted a Licca Castle "jenny" so much in my life. I've been coveting a little side-glancing Judy forever.

I've probably missed the preorder period *scowly*

I was in the garden this morning pruning flowers and snipped off a few flowers and realized they happened to be blue and red in a white pitcher. Cute! I put them on the mantel above the fireplace and realized that half my dolls/ornaments were red and blue.

So here it is, a collection of my red, white and blue toys from around the house. Mew!!!

Hello Boys & Girls!

So I don't have to talk about Real Life™ (yet) let's talk about DOLLS! *falls over*

A year of not shopping has sent me scurrying to the internet for sporadic and vicarious dolly fixes. And I've recently caved and made a couple wee purchases. This year's CWC Blythe releases have left me breathless and gnawing my knuckles off (attractive, no?)... for all the girls I've had to pass up, I've just committed sweet revenge by pre-ordering Swiss Cousin Olivia and Miss Sally Rice!

I've been a bit disappointed that many of the new releases are using the Superior face mold (as opposed to the new Radiance mold), but Cousin Olivia is my perfect blondie with rosie cheeks. Mew! Having missed out on Miss Retro Mama, I won't make the same mistake on Miss Sally, her little showa friend.

And another recent obsession is Kimono edition Licca, Jenny, Momoko etc. fashion dolls. There are so many that I'm trying to be choosey, but I have grabby hands. I haven't seen any recent Annz editions... wah!?!?

These two sold out so quickly (when I couldn't buy them any way) that I had to stalk YJP... well, like a stalker!

I've been so busy with Real Life™ that I just don't have the time to spend 1:37 hours posting randomly on the internet (the time it took to post this bit o' fluff) and it is making me very sad. And the only reason I'm doing so now is that I happen to be on vacation! Work, for a change, has been very rewarding, and ironically a hell of a lot more demanding. I'm struggling to keep the Blastmilk dream alive but obviously it has been a challenge, and it hasn't seen the love from me that I still want to give. But this past year was full of enormous changes, struggles, and sacrifice. There have been some happy sunshine days, I've got the sunburn to prove it, so I'm not in perma-doom mode. But yeah, the past twelve months have kicked my ASS.

One good thing is that the House O' Blastmilk has seen massive technology upgrades this year. Our six year old PC died (or rather, was so broken that we could no longer turn it off for fear of it not rebooting at all), and the television blew up which all meant that we got to go SHOPPING. We're a bit poorer, but everything is so happy, fast, and shiney that I could just about pee. Have I mentioned recently that TiVo is the most amazing toy in the whole world!?!?!

All that and not to mention work promotions came with bonuses of cash and equipment and I am one hooked up pro-style webmaster on the GO.

Now if I could just figure out how to hook this blackberry up to my brain and blog by thought alone, I'd be all set! Rawr!

See, I knew I shouldn't have talked about real life. WHERE ARE MY BLYTHES!?!?!

You can preorder from Helina at Jenny-Land.com!

It is all I can do sometimes to not buy up all the pink haired liccas that clutter YJP auctions on any given day. Ugh!

I don't own these. So ya know.

Aieeeeeeeee! Helina just confirmed that she should be able to get me a Momolita Jenny, due to be released in limited numbers in December by Club67. I was so sad to miss Punk Girl Licca a few years ago!

yay.

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!

Tikistitch is right that Takara needs to vary their lolita's a bit, a lot of the blue girl's design is recycled.

Still cute though. Meh.

CLicky CLick!

I don't know anything about them yet. They appear to be limited (really limited) handmade designer dresses. Which explains why they're a bit on the expensive side (a bit!). I can't even tell which Jenny friends those are! I wish I could find lace that tiny.

Ah! Christmas Licca!

Mmm. We slept and ate leftovers all day. Now THAT is a day off.

Jenny's Club Marine & Tamaki. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! S**t. You can order through Jenny-land.com, but I don't know how much yet.

I've had a pirate Licca in my brain for awhile. The same day this naked Princess Licca arrived at the post office, I picked up a copy of Dolly Dolly 3. Welp. Wouldn't ya know it. A lovely Momolita Pirate Licca is near the front of the book, with the easiest pirate hat pattern ever. I trimmed her bangs and painted her lips read. I whipped up the stockings (made from stockings from a real Pirate store in SF!) and cobbled together the rest of the outfit out of Blythe clothes. I wanted to make the whole thing, but this was perfect, why duplicate when you don't have to? Oh, and my scrumMr. Kallisti made the jolly roger on her hat out of sculpey. *squeak!*
