My BC Elf Pepe is finally coming home! (T^T)
Mood:
relieved
Recieved a SMS from Kaz this morning at around 6: 35 am... I had to get up 5 minutes later... (^^;;)
Anyway, she said she can give me my Pepe today and that she's successfully removed the stain!! Finally!! Now I feel like such an idiot for freaking out... (=_=)
However, I don't think she would have contacted me if I didn't panic!
You see, yesterday I sent a mass email to everyone on the mailing list she sent her apology to. I got 3 replies and one of them seems to know Kaz quite well. She said that Kaz went to her place yesterday and that she'd told Kaz that I was desparately looking for her!
So sometimes a bit of determination and persistance does work! Though I still feel so stupid... somehow...
But it's understandable, isn't it? I mean, I waited a little more than a month after the initial order before emailing her asking about the status of my order as the BC site says they'll send out their orders in 20 days. And she took, what, a month and a half to reply, with an apology that she was having computer and phone difficulties (and perhaps some personal issues as well, which I can understand) and it sounded in her email that she was back on track again. In addition, she'd told me that my doll had already arrived so of course I want to get her as soon as possible. She said that she'd try to remove a stain on my doll and seeing that she does faceup and doll esthetics as well as help people order stuff, I agreed but asked her first how she was going to remove it. No reply.
About 2 days later I email to ask how the removal is going. No reply.
Another 2 days later, I email both her accounts to ask about the removal and say it's okay if she didn't manage to remove it as it's not too serious and that I'd like to get my doll ASAP (as my patience is really running out and was deathly afraid that she was going to disappear for another month or 2 again!!). No reply.
So I start calling her at the number she gave me. I called for 4 days, trying at different times. Only to get her voice mail. I SMS her. No reply.
Then I remember the mass email she sent so I tried to contact the people on her list to see if any of them have had any luck contacting her. Plus I was afraid I had the wrong number as Kaz did mention that she was having phone trouble.
Anyway, she told me to call her after 1:30 pm today to arrange a meeting. I hope everything goes well!! (>_<)
BTW, yesterday I got my Yosd Shinn, Natsuki Mamoru (aka, Natsu Mamo! XD) yesterday~ <3 But his head is such a weird shape (to me)... It's so (horizonally) oval... (^^;;) Plus there's a huge indent at the back of his head for his serial number plate... And all his features seem to concentrate at the bottom half of his face, but it looks fine with his wig on. I guess that's what Volks dollfies are like (?). My other dolls have more evenly spread features. His eyes have been hotglued on...
Natsu is my first Japanese-made BJD! XD
He's nicely strung though and he was much heavier than I'd expected. I love his jointed torso as it's so much easier to pose than my other tinies! And he can sit "swaricco" style on his own~ the only other doll I have who can sit like that is my Angel Fantasy Faro (aka the cheapest BJD I have...) and he can't sit "swaricco" on his own... he needs to lean on something...
I also bought some glass eyes from Mini Dolly Shop yesterday.
A pair of very light blue "blind" eyes. I loved the colour when I saw it at the shop 2 weeks ago, though I have no idea who will use them... And a pair of dark gold eyes with glitter dust in them! They glitter sooo beautifully~! I think I'll try them on both Tristan and Minami. The metallic gold ones I got for Trist look strange on him. Maybe these will look better?
Many thanks to Asuka and Martin (if they ever read this) for helping me get Natsuki! ^____^ They're both such nice people and seem like such a lovely couple! <3 Though I only met Martin as Asuka was busy.
And many, many thanks to Iris for helping me get a hold of Kaz~!!
Seems like there is still hope in this world! LOL (*is currently very high*) Though perhaps I shouldn't be so hopeful just yet as things haven't been fully confirmed yet!
