Man, Thomas is looking a little sad these days ( Read more... )

I didn't want to just bump my sales threads--I find page upon page of hopeful little 'BUMP!' messages to be really depressing. So while I had the Ryushin and the Ryoya up for sale, I decided to write a dumb little serial story in every day's bump posts, until either everything was sold or the story was finished--and, I figured, if the Ryushin hadn' ( Read more... )

My mother does seem to like or at least appreciate my dolls. Every time she comes to visit she says so, anyway, and takes a moment to look at them, and politely refrains from noting out loud how many I've acquired since her last visit. (I had four last time. Now I have seven. Next time I'll probably have thirty-nine ( Read more... )

Man, but I love memes that let me talk endlessly about myself. Stolen from cynbaby, who stole it from violaine:

I'm going to post - and I'd like you to as well, either in comments or your own LJ post - about how I came to own each of my dolls and any special stories surrounding their acquisition. I realize that a lot of you have tens and tens of dolls, so you ( Read more... )

Went to the doll meetup/trunk show at Dolls and Friends--it was the first time I've met most of the Seattle-area doll collectors. All in all, not a bad gang. After some thought, I ended up only taking Thomas and JJ with me, leaving poor Jack and Beowulf at home. No way in hell was I going to try and lug around three full-sized guys ( Read more... )

I swear Beowulf gets skankier every time I change his clothes just because it makes me laugh so hard. He's already got those skin-tight Mio jeans on and now he's wearing this liiiiiittle belly-baring blue tank top with them; I came within a hair of just leaving the tank top off entirely and letting him show off his REALISTIC MAN-NIPS for a while, ( Read more... )

Definitely not the best pictures--I'm still having issues with proper light, goddammit--but I thought I ought to give my new camera a brief trial run, and also get some kind of record of the boys' current outfits. As it so happens, we're moving to Seattle here in a few weeks; I'll have to pack the dolls up in their bags soon, so I'll need the ( Read more... )

I spent a couple of hours this afternoon mucking around with my new Digital Rebel XTi and I have to say: the difference is astonishing. I took a few test doll shots (nothing worth showing you, believe me) and... and... they were in focus. I have a camera that focuses on doll faces! I-I'm so happy I could cry ( Read more... )

What the hell. I'm a memesheep. However, I'm not going to tag anyone, since, uh, most of the people on my friendslist have done this meme already. Feel free to pretend I tagged you and hop on board if you like, though!

1. Choose a few of your own characters. Five at the most.
2. Make them answer the following questions.
3. Then tag three people.4 ( Read more... )
