Uhhh, I was gonna try and post here a little more often, and then look. It's been over a month since my last LJ post. Whoops! Mostly I've just been posting the pictures I take to flickr and leaving it at that. It still depresses me how LJ used to be so full of dollie people, and now hardly anyone is active here anymore! I know most of them are on

I feel so spoiled to see Bee, Lulu, Sugar, Precious, and Fall all in the same post! And Lady!Ichi is surprising and magical. <3 I'm a little sad you are Michele-less now, but kitties are much more important. I'm so glad she's okay.

Lulu in that butterfly dress just slays me.

How do you like the laser cut fabric on the other dress? I worry that it would be so delicate...

I miss the days before recasting. Tumblr bothers me for a lot of reasons, but I stay because I have a hard time with forums. I feel a little like the more people that fight back against recasts and keep up a presence for the artists the better. People share your photos from Flickr onto Tumblr. I think there is a way to disable sharing in your Flickr preferences if you care. They're credited most of the time that I see them now, and if they aren't I call the posters out on it. I feel like there are people who stalk cool Flickrs just to post things to Tumblr to keep up their notes. I know it frustrates a lot of people, like if SDink posts her own photo it only gets a few notes, but if a certain Tumblr person posts the same photo from Flickr it gets hundreds. It's crazy, and it sucks.

Haha, I'm glad you enjoyed the spam! ;) I knew it'd been a while since I posted, but was a little surprised at how many pics I had taken in a month! O: I'm sad to be without a Michele too. :( Maybe I'll get some in the future! I'm just not sure what to do with my dolls these days.

The laser cut dress feels sturdier than it looks, but the shoulders of the dress are so tight that she can't really lift her arms while wearing it! I worry I'll rip it trying to get her to do a different pose, even with the fabric not being as tearable as it looks.

Ugh, me too. Like, dollie drama in the old days was just bitchy people (which I'm tired of, too) but now the rampant entitlement is not only annoying, but it's hurting the artists and marketplace and besides all that, it's just disheartening how many people are utter shitboxes in my hobby that's supposed to *relieve* stress. >_<

I did actually have my flickr sharing disabled for a little while, but put it back. It does annoy me when I find out a pic of mine gets 100+ notes on tumblr, when it is lucky to get 5 favs on flickr. I have noticed more people watching me on flickr lately though, and it seems like maybe a teeny bit of traffic is coming over. In all though, I'd rather stay in a place that doesn't annoy me as much, and just not worry about it. I'd like more favs, but eh, it won't kill me if I don't get them!
