First Doll of the New Year!! ...Wait...

Ok, so it's not 2014 yet...and technically I don't have a new doll. Yet.

BUT, I have a trade going for a doll that's been on my wish list off and on for YEARS and I am so excited I can't stand it!!! So it's my final trade of 2013, which has seriously been the Year of Trades for me.

If all goes well with the trade, I should be getting a Unoa L-bi in a week or so. We're planning to ship tomorrow, but with the holiday in there I'm not sure how that'll affect the timing. Could be this weekend, which would rock because I have NOTHING planned, so I'll have time to play. And I only have the vaguest idea for this doll, so I need time to play XD

I've wanted a Unoa, any Unoa, since 09 when a close friend got a Lusis. I started seeing a few really well done ones around (and by well done I mean weird...I like the weird ones.) and seeing one in person really made me fall in love. Unfortunately I never really got past the insane price tag, and really, with no character for one at all I had no reason to shell out the cash. My friend sold her Lusis in 2010 and I haven't really seen one since. I had a FP for a while, but it never really worked out for me...first it was a SP Sist, and my favorites were always Lusis and L-bi. And I never really ironed out a character for it. And it was sleeping. Not normally an issue, but this time, yes.

Off and on I had trades up for Unoas but never got anything....just the other day I re-added it back to my sales stuff because I had seen one or two up for sale and got the bug again. The next day I got the offer for my Switch/Souldoll and went for it. He has what is possibly an Angel Toast faceup, and since I like her work I may try to keep it...or I might wipe it. As I mentioned, vague plan is vague but it doesn't involve a natural faceup.

As far as Unoas go, I didn't really care which I ended up with, but really wanted a boy, so L-bi is perfect. I kind of want to maybe get him a Lusis fp, or maybe the Sist Bully and I've always wanted that Akubi face, so that might be something I try to get regardless, but we'll see how he works out first. Cause my car just broke down, and my cat is getting "fixed" finally, so I see two huge bills in my future plus rent and other bills so I am totally broke atm. Doll money is ZERO. Yay.

I was looking at my list to see if I could sell anyone and really, the only ones right now I care to get rid of are three I know if I sell I will never own again....so I'm not really ready to give them up. With no sales, there's no doll money in my future...not that I've sold anything lately :\\\\

I got a new lens for my camera yesterday, so maybe I can sell one or two of the old ones... That might bring in a couple bucks. Or not, they're not great lol

Anyway, I hope everyone has a great and SAFE New Year!!! I may do a quick post before then but just in case....

HAPPY NEW YEAR

it better be better than this one was....alls I'm sayin.

Happy Holidays

In case I don't get around to it later!!

First:

in continuation of this post...

xmas13

The picture is really really crappy because it was taken at a meet, like every year. I have another idea for next year, and if it works out, I'll do it, but if not, all six Kara Klums will be wearing the previous outfits for next year. Cause I really want to do that. So I have to go a whole year without buying another Kara Klum. Which could totally happen...assuming Dollmore doesn't do something cray and release some fabulous new version of him. Since there's only been two release thus far, I'm not holding my breath (and really if they do how much you wanna bet it's freaking tan and I won't get it anyway)

Alex. Dick-in-a-box. Kinda makes total sense....though he's pissed because the "package" looks smaller than it, uh. Is. *whispers* I totally glued it on.

 and my 2013 Holiday Arts

sm2013 HolidayALEX2
 
all my holiday art to date because it's my screensaver right now and I like it

all xmas I
probably shoulda watermarked that puppy...so, though I'm sure I don't have to say this here -- please don't steal my art <3

My snow was way better this year I think...

So yeah. Happy Holidays!! Have fun and be safe! Especially if you live in a place with "weather".

SUPER SALE!!! update

Not selling anything atm. Check back later :)

Update of nothing

Blogger is fucking up as usual. I seem to only be following one blog all of a sudden....this happens every once in a while, so I'm sure it will pass, but it sucks.

I don't have a lot of doll stuff this week.
The only thing I've done is dye Jubilee's coat yellow. It turned out AMAZEBALLS!! It looks like the one I faked in the last photo!! Someday I'll get some pictures, but I've been home for a total of five minutes all week, so it will never happen. I am leaving work at noon, then going straight to my Dad's then to Dexter MO (cue banjos) for the weekend. Yay. Chibs is coming with. The whole reason I've been trying for years to have a small, "pocket" version of Alex is for this very sitch. I've spent the last two days obsessing over him so he can be ready to go. Don't expect photos...he's going for comfort reasons only, and I may never even take him out of his bag.

Also. Fairyland SUCKS. I mean it. They do. They finally made a fullset I want, and I can't even begin to afford it. Not even on layaway! I'm so sad....I don't even want to link to it because then I have to go look and be depressed. I've put my Switch Taeheo on sale for $100 less than his original price in attempt to get some funds before she's sold out, but I doubt he'll sell....The only thing I can hope for right now is that she won't sell out and I'll be able to get her after the holidays have slowed down some (which for me isn't until Feb as everyone I know has a birthday in January.). Fingers crossed.

I hope everyone has a good weekend!

New Arrival

For some reason my photos aren't showing up.....I blame Flickr. They're being really stupid right now...

It's been a week. First my car battery died, then my Dad had heart surgery (he's doing fine btw) then I took my dog to the vet with an eye injury and if she's not better in a few days she may need surgery too!! This year will just never end!

In the midst of all this crap, I got a new doll.

I put my MNF Karsh up for sale last week and had a trade offer by the end of the day. I happily accepted, because as you can see, she's kinda perfect for what I have been looking for recently...

Say hi to Jubilee. X-Man, vampire, teenage mom.
jubilee2

 jubilee3

I do intend on getting a LTF to be Shogo, her adopted son, but who knows when. I may lose interest in this whole project by then XD

She's a CP Dark Elf Soo. I was told she was one of 5 art delfs -- Anarchy in Heaven, but since I don't have any of her fullset at all, I will probably redo her faceup and deal with the crap I'll probably get for it. I may get her new eyes someday but for now I really like these. She's already got two, possibly three wigs, and this coat. Which isn't actually yellow XD
It's white. I'm going to attempt to dye it yellow this weekend. I highly doubt it will be this nice and bright, but I'm hoping it will at least be usable!

I also have to finish messing with her sunglasses. Like the rest of my accidental X-Men (Wolverine is the only one I am actually thinking about, the others have all just happened), she's getting the "found-object" treatment for now, though I'd love to get her a version of her current costume. Which is just a black-trimmed-with-pink shirt and leggins under that yellow coat XD

I might try for a group shot this weekend if I have time. I wish I had the $$ to get a body for Logan!! It's killing me now XD

Soo here is my first full CP Delf and my first Delf Girl. I've owned two CP Delf bodies, both boys, and sold them both due to their extreme kickiness. I can't stand it, it drives me nuts. Jean is made by Luts, and I don't know what they did to that body to make it work, but she's great.

When I got Jubilee home, the first thing I did was give her an all over cleaning, both strung and then unstrung (mostly unstrung). I tightened the hell out of her, sueded and wired her, put a donut in her head and attached her headcap by rubberband (she's a type 1 - from before a time where there were such things as the CP neck connector XD). She's as sturdy as she's going to get. Her knees collapse sometimes, but it's not bad. and she does stand very well. The Type 1 Delf body is really nice for a body that can't pose worth a damn. It's big and curvy. I kind of thought she'd be smaller, but she has a huge ass, huge boobs and fits in the DH Fer that everyone else I own is too skinny for XD

OMG I need to put Jean in the fer!!

Sorry....sidetracked.

Anyway, Soo as a sculpt wasn't one I was considering to be Jubilee, but way back in the day she was #1 to be Kimi and for some reason I just never got one. I still kind of see Kimi in her XD but I think the current Kimi is 100% perfect, so Soo stays Jubilee. I don't know if this sculpt just doesn't photograph well or what, but she's a million times prettier in person that she is in photos.

A WishList

Because I haven't done it in a while and my list has kinda grown.

Bodies for heads:
Mirodoll 60cm boy body in NS -- Wolverine!!
Dollstown Elf Body in oriental -- For Tween. I miss him :<
Doll Chateau K-05 or K-07 body in WS -- For my DZ Moon head

Doll Chateau Y-03 body in NSP -- not really important, but if I get one in a trade, I'll replace Alex II's body with it in a heartbeat.

Full Dolls:
Supia Girls - any
SD sized girl 60-65cm in tan
I'm really looking to get a Storm and/or Jubilee doll for the X-Men group. I'm hoping to fall into one in a trade, because I don't really want to buy them XDD but they're there.

Fairyland Littlefee NS or Tan (sculpt negotiable) -- only if I get a Jubilee...this will be Shogo.
Peakswoods FOB girl -- Mini Anna

Marcus:
La Legende de Temps Roderich head or full doll (depending on the body he's on)
Supia Joshua
Granado Charles head or other Granado boys or body (64cm)
Soom Super Gem boys or heads
Volks Yukinojo Sawaragi or Ryōma Sakamoto head or full doll (hahahaha)
As you can tell, I'm still very undecided about Marcus....

**This Head:**
Naruya Echo head
Echo3 EchoBlank   
Seriously, I want this so freaking bad. I swore I would NEVER EVER sell Wyn, my B&G Sapphira, but if I had this head this would be the new Wyn. And the old Wyn would go in the head box because I could still never sell him. Unfortunately I can't find this head anywhere, I don't think it's sold other than a few here and there -- if anyone finds it, PLEASE PLEASE let me know!!!

Just becasue:
Doll Factory Conie -- It's safer not to ask.

Angelbattle Skeleton -- OMG WANT! ANY mold!! This is so made of win!
product.30.138294711565174

Resinsoul Ya NS or Tan -- thinking of adding a new character to FC. May not happen, but for now she's on the list.

So there it is. My massive wishlist of doom.  A couple of them may not ever happen (like a LTF or RS mei) and I only need one doll to be Marcus, so it's really shorter than it looks, but it still seems huge!!

I am hoping a few things I am selling will sell in the next couple weeks *fingers crossed* and if that's the case, and I have enough, I'll order the DT body for tween first. If there's any left over, the Mirodoll body is next. After that who knows......I got an offer for a trade for my MNF but then never heard back from the person. Could be a blessing, but that doll would have made a good Jubilee. OH WELL! Maybe the Karsh will sell and I can play with monies instead XD

Or it will be for sale forever O.O

One of the two!!

EDIT: Or the trad will go through and I'll have a Jubilee. FINGERS CROSSED!! :D

To sell or not to sell?

EDIT: Ok, I am officially selling him. If anyone is interested in a Minifee Karsh plus sleeping head, let me know!! Please check the sales page for info on my doll sales!


I'm pretty sure I'm going to sell my MNF Karsh. I keep thinking about it, and deciding not too, but of all my dolls I probably touch him the least, and I don't really care about him anymore. The only thing keeping me from selling him is (if you can believe this) Mocha, my RS Song.

I have no intention of ever selling Mocha, but he's the only elf I have (other than Wyn), so if I sell my Karsh he'll be the only one in his group. This usually bothers me, but at the moment, since I'm not doing anything with either of them, if I sold Karsh, who would care? I dunno. It's not like I can't buy another one if I change my mind again (again again. This is my second Karsh.), but I really don't think I'm meant to have MNFs. They do nothing but piss me off. I like looking at them, but when I own them, I hate them.

And lets face it, right now I have several heads I'd rather have bodies for than I would Karsh, and I'm really into my X-Men dolls and wouldn't mind having a Storm or Jubilee to go with the ones I have...I'd like to get Marcus again, either as a Volks or LLT or something else that will cost an arm and a leg, and I really want to get Tween a body.

I should just do it....he probably won't sell anyway and I'll have a chance to change my mind XD so why not?? I just wish I had someone else who could wear his clothes....like a Mini-Wyn maybe? XD

If a sculpt existed I'd already have one.
