History: So I wanted Lori so badly, that one day after having seen a Small Comfort come available on the MP and be totally out of my reach again... AGAIN... I decided to go look through what all was available on Junky spot.  I really distain Hujoo dolls, they have these Enormous heads with Huge eyes and gross little bodies.  So I just was going to check out how much they cost and move on.  But I wanted to see only the smallest doll.  There I came across a Hujoo I had never even heard of before, the "baby" size So I went and looked at the pics and was like "Yea, those are actually pretty cute.  They look nothing like a normal Hujoo."  then I looked down at the price because... well thats what I was doing, looking at the prices.  I just about shit myself.  25 bucks without a face up.  So I did some more research, decided which head I liked and then offered my information to my dearest hubby.  for only 25 bucks I could have a stand in for the doll that kept giving me fits.  Something to placate my want for a baby doll and help me not scream at the computer screen every time I saw a small comfort come available.  And he agreed. 
* When I finally got Lori poor lor had no place in my group.  One of mom's friends had a suve too, so she asked to borrow her.  I happily let her have the doll.  In just a month or two mom had her named and asked me if she could pay me for her.  I told her she didn't have to pay me it was ok.  Mom insisted and TADA! Lor turned into Ellie

COLOR!

So.... I've been offered the chance to help mold the new RS purple... and I'll finish this post when I get a chance... cus wow

Edit~ Ok, I have like... 2 minutes and some brain. Unfortunately it seems that Sun doesn't understand "reference" which being that there is some serious language barrier action going on here I'm not particularly shocked.  the #1 is supposed to be the current lavender, this muddy, very skin toneish redish grey.  the other three are light purple, periwinkle and "true" purple respectively.  I hope against hope that it turns out that he picks one of the latter three. I'll be super excited when he sends some samples my way ^_^

RAAAGE

OH MY GOD I'M GOING TO END MY KIDS!

I brought My dolls to this, fairly boring, very slow job that I'm working atm, it's in an office and I have to spend lots of time alone so I thought it would be pretty awesome to bring my dolls along and chill out with them.

Turns out my kids managed to damnage Cassie... My totally 100% irreplacable gift from a friend and my favorite doll.  Val is scratched in the wrist but he is replacable, not a gift and most importantly it's not a big deal... Cassie has a MASSIVE chip out of the inside of her wrist to go along with all the scratches and garfs.  Apparently when I found them repositioned the kids had been pulling the wrists out and letting them go back in and did it wrong. 

I'm furious.... I'm devistated.... I'm at a loss.  I can't stand Cassie being messed up, I can't replace the arm part because she's so yellowed, the only thing I'm going to be able to do is put up a willing to buy on the MP of DoA and hope someone with a siggnifficatnly yellowed BBB female MSD body responds.  The only other option is to buy her a new body or body part.... and yellow it.  which... wow, I don't know if I can get it yellow enough.  If I were to buy her a new body would I buy the same body that needs so much work to get it to work corectly and look nice? or do I buy the slimmer body that looks nice but isn't Cassie's body?  I don't know.  I'm jsut really upset.  First thing I'll do is to try to repair her wrists, I had considered taking her wrists back even more, and now it looks like I don't have a choice on if I try or not.

Retard Squee

So I talked the hubby into letting me get a Hujoo baby... they are only 25 bucks, no face up of course.  I'd always rather paint them myself and getting a face up on them costs an extra 20 O.o it nearly doubles the doll's price.  Plus I'd wanna do the face myself... and I have no idea how you'd take off a face up on abs plastic... Oh yea, she's plastic not resin... which is interesting but I'm not really in much of a world of caring about it.  She's gonna be a nice, cute place holder for Lori, I'ma call her Lor as a place holder name, and she's going to be a really good size guestimation, yea she'll be too big in comparison, but she's around 5 CM larger than a small comfort.

But yea, I'm super stoked, I'm going to buy her from Junkyspot as soon as I have enough for her and Val's shoes (I'm like 20 bucks short XD ) so I'm expecting to put through the order in the next week or 2... I'm looking very forward to it, this'll be my first non RS/BBB doll, and mostly I'm getting her so that I can participate in the Junky spot photo contests... because I FLIPPIN LOVE the contests and I wanna join them so bad.. even if I don't ever win... I still wanna friggin be able to try.

Oh and on a different tangent, I was able to get one of the guys at work to print me a chest print on some fabric so i can make Val a Tshirt with a real screen print on it... so that'll be badass ^_^

Big baby

So for a while now I've been thinking about how the blog dolls I did were just... a little too small.  It was hard to get enough differentiation between different heads, especially on the fairies and Lori.  Plus I wasn't 100% pleased with Cassie and the rest... Sooo I decided to take the plunge into making them bigger... Well at first I was like Oh..twice the size won't be so bad... Then half way through refining the larger doll I realized it was ... a little too big.  BUt the detail was really coming together... So I thought.. well I'll do 3/4ths of that size >.< well now that I'd done the larger one... this was kinda tortuously small in comparison, trying to get the details... So I decided that I'd make a new Lori in each size... And double the size one by a land slide.  So meet the new, enlarged blog doll of Lori next to the old one..

I can't help but love the adorable little look on her face T_T I want her... I'll be updating all the blog dolls and adding them into their profiles.  the old ones will still be used when I don't know what to do with the doll.

Again with the Small comfort Fate? Really?

So once again...  A small comfort came available and wouldn't you know it, I don't have any money to buy it.  I have some money saved back for it... but NOT ENOUGH. >.> Yea.  they are insistent on selling the SmC with a bunch of stuff they bought for it so they bumped the price to 160 bucks... and don't you know it I only planned as far as 100... and only have 50 saved up.  Yep.  That's right.  ONCE AGAIN fate dangled a human headed (oh well.. I can get an elf head I'm sure) Small comfort in front of my nose and when my hands reached out to grab it Fate laughs and pulls the fucking doll right back out of my grasp.

It wouldn't be bad if it was any of the other dolls on my list.  I'd be like.. Eh.  whatever.  This sucks.  But NO it had to be the ONLY ONE that I can't buy from a dealer.  I can't buy the head separately, I can't buy the body at all, and I'm just absolutely beside myself with rage and irritation.

I wish it wasn't so hot out cus I'd take a walk to calm down, but taking a walk today with the heat index would probably kill my fat ass.

Project mod

So if you read this post, you'll know that I've had a mod project halfheartedly in mind.  If not.. go read or skip this one... it's pretty hinging on that post...

So I think I've gone and come up with my first mod project doll.  I mentioned wanting extra arms and at one point Daemon suggested an extra pair of legs to make a doll more "spider" like.  Well I currently have a picture on my sketchbook I take to work of a single jointed body with 4 legs.  Centaur style.  modding a second lower torso to be shorter, modding a hole in the back of the other one, modding the "top" of the second torso's hips so that the legs can pull further forward and look more like it can walk.  Theres a good chance that I'm going to use the double jointed legs and mod the top of the thigh so it'll fit in the single joitned body, same with the arms...

It's possible the face will be a fei with the eyes modded open in a more sinister curve.  I -will- be modding the eyebrow area so that each side has 4 small "eyes" either above or in the eyebrow area.  I'm trying to decide if her eyes would be black or some other sinister color.  I'm not sure if I'm going to drill tiny holes in the forehead and use earnings or if I'm going to just paint it with something to make it puffed up and gloss the piss out of it.

So she'll have 4 arms, 4 legs, I might even make some pains to make her torso joint more distinct so that she looks a little "segmented"   Hair is questionable... I might either give her a weird looking wig or  no hair at all... there's a chance I might switch her human feet out for the hooves (if I can see the hooves in person and next to an appropriate doll before this actually starts...) because the hooves look more like spider feet.

Face up I plan on giving her a "mandible" jaw line, think the not yet split open jaws from the crazy vamps in blade 2... dark sinister and other wise I'm a little blank oncolors and the like.
