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

[thesaraghina]

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

So much beauty!
I know what you men about Tumblr. I finally made one just to be able to connect to hobbyists that don't have other sites but I much prefer LJ.

[thesaraghina]

Thank you! I've thought about joining tumblr, but honestly, I just don't like the format, besides all the hobby negativity that's over there. It does make it a little lonely though that more and more people focus their time there!

[fastfeetnella]

Yeah, the format is not my cup of tea.
I've also headed over to Youtube. Being able to hear other people squee over dolls is nice. :)

Wow, I don't go to flickr so I've missed seeing your lovely dollies all in one page. <3 Such interesting and beautiful dresses! And the bracelets are lovely too. ^^

Ichi looks fabulous as a girl. Haha. ^^; Seeing all your gorgeous girls makes me want my own SD girl even more. I'm saving up for one next year. Hopefully I'll be able to get one at the Volks store itself. :D

[thesaraghina]

Hahaha, yay, someone who hasn't already seen all these pics! xD

Ichi does make a good girl! I've seen a lot of really pretty Tohya/Kohya girls from fancy Japanese owners mostly, so I thought I'd give it a shot. ;) And good luck on getting a big girl! The clothes available do seem to be a lot more varied than when I started in the hobby, and of course, the shoes for the heel feet are awesome. ;) What girl do you want? One of the new standards? They're all really cute!

[kogata]

Argh, the many clothes available are one of the reasons why I did -not- want to get a girl. *lol* Too many dresses (and shoes), too little money. Haha.

I was actually looking for a Rinon before they were discontinued, but the new standards are gorgeous and I'm now hoping for a Saki. But who knows, there's still half a year to go and they might release some new SD13 standards or something. ^_^

[thesaraghina]

Ahahaha, but it's so fun to shop for the girls! XD And sometimes you can find good deals! ;)

Oh, I like Saki a lot! And I am wondering if they'll release some more standards! It's a little odd there aren't any boys in the lineup, but I also think they're phasing out the SD13 bodies, so I'm wondering what they'll do next! O:
