Playing catch up.
I've been largely absent for the past few months. Seriously, I don't know why! I've been lurking just as much as always, but I haven't been making time to update or comment or converse. Life's been catching up with me. No excuse, but I've been busy and tired!
Excuses aside, I suppose it's time to catch up.
I got a little Panda! She's been the most exciting part of the last while. I love carrying her around in my purse when I go out. Her name? My friend wanted to name her Li Ming the Panda, my brother was very adament about Moronic, but I couldn't decide for the longest time. Now she's known as Panda Ann. The 'veterans' (this term makes me laugh, I still feel like such a newbie) will remember who she's named after. Panda Ann becuase I feel like the pullip-verse has changed so much since I got here, and I want to hold on to a little piece of how it used to be.
Got Veronica's Kstarr wig... forever ago? I did a whole photoshoot to show it off but never posted it. I had so much fun playing with her hair for the first week; I've never had a Kstarr wig before, so I was completely astonished at the quality and softness of it.
This photo is from way back in June. I should have posted this at some point back then, but never did. Seriously, I have so many folders of photos that I took but never showed anyone. I'll make a post one day with ALL of the long lost photoshoots and outtakes.
I came home one day in November to find this:
I promptly texted my older brother, asking why my doll was riding a banana... his response?
"BANANA!!!"
Also a long lost photoshoot. I think I did this in October? I started out doing a photoshoot just for Veronica, because her outfit was so cute, but I loved the light so I did one for each of my girls. Again, I spent a whole afternoon taking pictures, but didn't post them! There's something wrong with me, obviously.
In at least some recent news, I did the secret santa swap on Dolly Market, it was so much fun! I have no idea if my gift has gotten there yet, I'm kind of worried about it. I mailed it out forever ago, and the girl said to expect it to arrive in about six days, but the recipient hasn't posted anything yet. It should have been there long before Christmas, but now it's past, so I feel super bad that it hasn't arrived.
Mine came right in time, though. I got it on Christmas eve!
Blurry photo, but it was a rushed picture! Ellie's outfit was handmade by Sparky, with help from Angelberries. I love it so much! It suits her. I also got Veronica's outfit (FF), hat, the cookies she's holding, and a few other fun goodies.
Chrismas was very fun this year. To slip out of doll-mode for a moment, I got a tokidoki purse! And a bunch of other stuff (clothes, some books/movies/cd's, etc.), but the purse was a huge deal! It's not even one of the small ones. My brother (brother! since when do they spend money on little sisters?) bought me a big one! It's the Gioco Vacanze print, and SUPER cute. The only sad part is that the Qee was broken when I opened the box. I just bought a new one on ebay, so I'll glue the old one back together and put it in my doll's apartment. I'm too afraid of putting it back on the purse, just to have it fall off and not notice. Then it would be lost forever.
ANYWAY. More recent news; I preordered Cinnamoroll! I'm very excited that I finally found a Dal that I love enough to get. I'm finally branching out! It's terribly exciting :)
ALSO. As of Tuesday, I've been collecting for two years! It seems like such a long time, but it also feels like it's passed in the blink of an eye. I remember when pullipparade was the place to be and when type two bodies were still a majority. It's overwhelming when I think about how much everything has changed!
