I didn't jinx it!! Yay~
So... yes. I did say in my Unoa sales post (;_;) that there was a rather erm... expensive reason for my newest foray into seller-dom. ^^;;; And there is... I haven't posted pictures on my L.J. yet about her, because frankly I have just been very very busy (which is also why I am SO behind on my f-list - sorry guys!) and I've kind of felt like I've been going from project to project for days. o_o Exhausted every day... But it is time, I think, to introduce the newest member of my crew.
I haven't been gushing about her - or I'm trying not to, because I am still oddly afraid of like... saying I like her too much and then not liking her or something. >< It's ridiculous and I'm pretty sure it's unfounded, but selling Shea, and then the Unoa girl... it's starting to feel like... well, frankly, I kind of feel like I Fail. ;_; Like somehow it's my fault that I can't bond with these gorgeous dolls. Because I do think they're beautiful... but when I pick them up, I don't feel the connection I do to my Volks. I love looking at them and taking pictures of them. I even loved having them with me or around me when I bothered to pick them up... but I simply don't connect with them. I don't understand it. And it makes me scared that it could happen with my other dolls, or any new dolls I get - Volks or not... so... I'm trying not to gush. I don't want to feel like some sort of liar, either... I know I said I loved the Unoa and Shea and then I turn around and sell them... it just doesn't look right and I felt like a hypocrite. Even though I truly did love them as dolls. Beautiful dolls... they will be missed (at least a little...). Anyhoo. I'm rambling.
But... I am very very happy. :3 She makes a wonderful addition to the crew and has been quite comfortably draping herself all over anyone who will let her, putting her feet up on the furniture and razzing Doyle, since she arrived. ^^ Shea and the Unoa never did this... they spent their time together in the little bed-setup I have beside my dresser, away from everyone. Another thing I never really understood when I had them. It was like they didn't mix with the others, or like their characters were not in their dolls enough for their desires and actions to express themselves through their real-life doll forms. If that makes any sense... ^^; *sounding crazy again, aren't I?* She is Aniqa. More than the Unoa girl ever was - although looks-wise, once in the wig and her fist hands... dang was it ever Keeley - Aniqa's sister, who the Unoa was supposed to be, all along - but still, when I pick her up, Keeley just isn't in the doll. Anyway... so the Unoa is going. The new girl is staying, Aniqa successfully reshelled.
And now after all this long-windedness and crazy-talk, I give you pictures. ^^ These have been up on DoA for a few days, so I apologize to anyone who's seeing this twice, but...
Tada?
Her boots are win. :)
As are her fist hands... which are so cute. :3
She is even more poseable than Doyle. o_O The Volks minis are freaking awesome, I swear... The 60's and Yo's are great in their own ways, but... they are nowhere near as poseable as the minis. Y'know? Freaking awesome...
She has swarrico legs. :)
Anyhoo. :) I'm pretty happy. ^^ Totally makes up for missing the Volks After-Event for her when I had the chance at a retail Renee. XD She came pretty much new-in-box - the girl I bought her from had never opened her before o_O - which was Yay! I didn't get the feeling she was a scalper, either... she hadn't sold any other dolls on DoA before (didn't have any feedback at all actually - which is why the sale was a bit nail-biting XD but she was good to deal with ^^)... but she did make nearly double retail. So... good for her? ^^; I'm happier to play with her, myself. :3 Much happier. I don't think I could ever keep a doll in their box... But at any rate... this nearly-double-retail doll is almost, I'd say, like 80% of the reason I am selling the Unoa. The Unoa... is almost pretty enough that my not bonding does not matter. Almost. But the not-bonding is the other 20% of the reason. :( At any rate, she will go, Aniqa will be loved. :3
Hopefully everything works out... ^^
Yay~
