There's something awfully soothing about taking apart a doll body and scrubbing it down with a Magic Eraser. Particularly the larger bodies, where even the smallest and most fiddly pieces aren't really that small or fiddly, so it's more like washing dishes and less like brain surgery, I am looking at you, my numerous Unoa Lights.

Because chibaraki is a ( Read more... )

This just in: the lost Puki shoe has been located! By the simple expedient of vacuuming the whole house. Whatever works.

After two and a half weeks of wandering, Beowulf's 'new' body finally found its way to my doorstep today. It's an Iplehouse model body with the three-part torso that I like so much, but it's a year old, so I had hopes that the resin would match. And it does! Hooray! Soon I will have entirely eliminated the dislocating waist joint from my household ( Read more... )

My latest batch of Celga wins arrived today, basically doubling the size of poor JJ's wardrobe. I have this real tendency to buy things off Y!J and then let them rot in my Celga box for so long that I forget what I bought--I don't want to pay EMS prices to have just one thing shipped to me, after all--so it's like Christmas around here!

I've never particularly wanted to own a Yo-SD before, but this modified Sweet Dreams Rengemaru by blue bird is doing a damned fine job of making me rethink that stance. Awww lookit 'e's so cwanky!

If you're looking to buy Apoxie Sculpt two-part modeling clay for dorrie-modding purposes at any point, but you don't want to mess with Aves' Studio's 'email us to order' practice, you could definitely do worse than these guys ( Read more... )

I braved a Claire's for long enough today to escape with a doll-sized can of Dr Pepper, a doll-sized bottle of Mountain Dew, and only minor psychological scarring. Well, all right, and my nostrils were singed by a nauseous wave of grape Kool-Aid, thanks to a couple of semi-slow girls alternately squirting bottles of cheap perfume into the air near ( Read more... )

Yesterday, at our local Target, I spotted what appeared to be a perfect SD-scale toy 'charcoal grill' in the toy section. Pretty nice, really: realistic, well-detailed and made out of, I don't know, shaped tin. I don't know why I didn't get it. I should have. It's not outside the bounds of believability that my boys would decide to grill hamburgers ( Read more... )
