Dolls in.... Decision time

So we got our new boys yesterday and Marius is sitting thoughtfully on my desk as I try to think of what -EXACTLY I wanna do with him.  I'm (god forbid) leaning towards purple and orange... Yes I know! CRINGE!  I just put a purple wig on him and he's angry looking....  He looked good in Val's shoulder length green and black one but I don't really wanna put him in green... I mean it -could- work but I just don't like it for him.  I'm not thinking like... Bright yellowy orange either, I'm thinking more like copper/bittersweet more on the red side of orange possibly with metallic blushing..  I found several eyes I'm liking even if I don't go orange I'm looking at either ending up with blue or purple eyes right now... there are a few neutral colored ones I like but I'm just genuinely unsure.

Along with his eyes I have very little in the way of plans on how I'm going to blush him.  His hair, eyes and blushing all kinda go in the same vein.  Until I have one for sure then I don't know for sure what I'm going to do with the others.  Perhaps on Friday when I go to walmart I'll check out the yarn and see if I can get some Ideas though there's a damn good chance that I'll have to hit up Micheals because I want some homespun yarn for this and I know I don't have a/the color I wanna use of homespun...

Also... Marius has the frigging biggest case... Like ever.  Damn thing's an SD case.. not just an SD a 70's case.  It's enormous.  And I feel like a sociopath carrying him around cus it's almost big enough to be a small rifle case...  And I wear a hoody.  Nothing could go wrong with this.

Edit: oops! I was going to post this here... Cranky Marius

Waiting times are strange

So Waiting for Marius has been easily my easiest wait and Satie has easily been my worst.  I'm really REALLY unsure as to why that is.  As excited as I am I have not been chomping at the bit, or getting nervous while I waited for my email to load.  I've been checking EMS now that he's shipped several times a day but it's not like it's been before where I can't get him off my mind.  I'm not saying I'm not excited, I'm just not as excited as I've been in the past.

There are any number of reasons why I'm not so blisteringly blindly retard excited, I'm actually a little unsure about his body for one.  I think there's a good chance he's gonna get a good ole fashion sanding to remove some of the veining on him.  I'm a little scared actually that his Mu head is going to be too "soft" for his big muscly body... But I love Mu's head to death... and once I get him... I can't wait for them to put out a female version so that I can get my Yao, or maybe there will be a way for me to swap bits between Satie and him so that I can make the female version (who more and more might end up with small titties... IDK it just feels right...)

Either way I just checked and he (and two other dolls that are in the box with him) hit Des Moines at 8:11 tonight and I'm kinda hoping that they'll hit town and mom's house tomorrow.  Now is the first time I've felt the flutter in my tummy of the impending dollyness.  I guess I'm just not huge on boys... maybe that's why his kid is going to be a daughter... *shrug*  it doesn't matter though.  I'm getting him almost assuredly in the next two days... TWO DAMN DAYS!

On an unrelated note... I'm going to try and start taking photos of the things I do and posting them in the blog.  So like.. the super cute knit wardrobe Lori got... Pics.  The almost finished dry sink?  Pics!  And Oh man oh man, I NEEEED to remember to take pics of all facups.  ALL.  But yea, FUN.  Maybe I'll get to post more tomorrow... with Marius in muh lap.

Zaria Laetitia

Nickname: Zary, princess
Mold
Head: Autumn
Body: Pixiu/pi (likely with the torso swapped out for the standard 1/6 female torso)
Resin: Red
Face up: By me (gold highlights)
Eyes: Metallic gold hopefully
Hair: Probably red dreads or a fur wig.
Extras: Pi's horns probably temporarily since they are so huge, we'll see.  If not I'll figure a horn bit that will match her parents horns.
Story:  Daughter of Marius and Rosaline and likely the heir after her father Zaria is the perfect "I totally didn't do it and even if you saw me I was coerced" princess.  She'd relish a playmate and scape goat for her antics but manages to be prim and lovely whenever the need calls for it.  Otherwise she's a child, she gets her fine clothes dirty by sneaking food, peals out of the dress she begged to wear a few minutes ago and otherwise is a bit of a terror.  She has her mother's tenacity and her father's ability to obfuscate, when she's being good she's an angel, bad, the devil.
History: When pixiu came out I about lost my mind happy.  There was a little dragon, many things with "the prince" and his "slave" just fell into place.  I was so happy I decided they needed to be an adorable totally dysfunctional family.  Daddy Ming the prince dragon, mommy Yao the slave dragon and Pixiu the prince!  I had it all figured totally up.  I wanted the SJ male torso with the dragon limbs and that would be it!  Then I got to thinking right when I was looking at names for Marius.  I wasn't sure I wanted a boy dragon... I kinda wanted a dragon girl.  I started looking for girl names and things once more, just fell into place, I'm hoping that I can get the wing magnets to stick to the inside of her torso so that I can do this proper.  But wait! There's more!  So at first, the head was going to be a pixiu, I had plans for all the other heads afterall.  Then Pi came out and I was like Oh it's so sweet!  It wasn't perfect but I liked it.  As of this editing the new centaur deer babies came out and I'm in deep smit.  As I was looking through them I came on to autumn, simmilar face to Pi, that same slightly downturned mouth but the eyes and ears were WAAAY better for a Yao/ming baby...  So she's changed again, this time she's got the autumn head.

Marius Impero

Nickname: Prince or Marius
Mold
Head: Ming
Body: RS MSD dragon boy (sui)
Resin: Dark grey
Face up: By me (metalic?  maybe blue or red?  Not sure)
Eyes:  Safrin doll Solar eclipse 16mm
Hair: He might actually have a fur wig, but if he does have a yarn wig like the rest of my resins, he'll have dreads in a complimentary color, Maybe even white or grey.
Extras:  Horns, probably the Ming horns, and then whatever they come out with for the 1/4 size dragon bits.
Story:  Marius Impero is the Dragon Prince, he's the son of a dragon that rules the forest that  most of my fantasy dolls live in.  He's spoiled and headstrong but fairly reasonable so long as you don't challenge him.  He's been gifted a lesser dragon concubine named Rosaline who is his devout servant and lover.  She's birthed (at least)one child (looking like it'll be a female red dragon child).  He has an affection for her and is protective of her but doesn't particularly respect her person-hood in any way shape or form, she's like a beloved pet or prized toy.

History:  He started off as a ming, just a regular ming, still was a prince of the forest but he was a satyr, he was going to have an "elven" concubine.  Then Pixiu came out and I got wind that resinsoul was thinking about making an adult dragon doll and I about shat myself.  I was already reeling with my brain demanding a pixiu in my collection, then when I found out about the 1/4 stuff everything started falling into place.  I had never really liked Rosaline as a normal skin doll, I felt it was just too plain, even if it would work ok, I wanted her to be pink but it didn't make that much sense... I'd kept leaning towards her being pink.  This fixed it all, Pixiu would be their son (cus there were no females) and they'd both be dragons.
*Now Marius has been ordered by mom, a xmas present, and up till this point he hadn't been named.  I still  don't know a lot of his particulars like blushing colors, wig and eye colors.
*Marius is much more solid visually now.  Instead of yellow or red eyes he's got orange and purple safrin doll eyes, He's got a purple and grey wig instead of just grey or white like I'd originally assumed.  I'm going to be blushing him soon and my plan is copper and purple.

new kids and -16

So mom decided that we needed new dollies for xmas.  So I have a Sui with a Ming head on it's way... Oh yea, Sui is the MSD DRAGON BOY FROM RS! OH YEAAA! >.> Yea I'm a little stoked about it, We're at the "It's time the doll should ship" point and about 2 days ago I was told that it should ship in about 2 days.  So he should be on his way now in theory, haven't gotten an official "Here's your tracking number" email... which is fine but I'm getting itchy for it >.<

That leaves me with a problem.  The Prince may well be on his way as I type... and I don't have a name outside of "Dragon Prince" so... I need a name for him, I haven't decided what colors I'm going to have him blushed in, likely red and gold though but not certain.  He's gonna be dark colored and I'm going to try and mature the Ming head up a bunch.  Being that poor Jesene still doesn't have a face neither does Addy... pretty bad on me.  I tried to get Addy once and had a shit of a time with her.  I have so many faces I need to make right now it's not even funny.

Talking about things that aren't funny... it was -16 this morning.  So my car doesn't start right now, it's bitterly cold to the point of painful to breath outside.  And I need milk.  T_T Suuuuck.

But rather than sulking on that note, I've been doing all sorts of dolly stuff that's good.  Mom and I get together on Thursdays and do crafty stuff.. So we painted all our wood stuff, the hutch thing I got many moons ago just needs some fancy little handles on the doors and it'll be done.  Got lots of little things done, Many many tiny tiny dresses for Lori and a little hat and diaper cover... knit the dresses... yep, I knit now... O.O apparently I knit backwards and forwards... but I don't really pearl >.> so that's a bit of a problem... Once I get that down I'll be doing pretty well.

Otherwise... I'm just chilling.  The littelest Baijo decided he wants a doll too so we'll see if he actually does that >.< probably would be another boa >.<  Or maybe he'd pick a female and name it after his imaginary friend like about eight of his stuffed animals...

Sick again.

So I've gotten ill and thrown up three out of the four past weeks... atleast twice I think it was food poisoning, which is like O.O how? but the first time I eat a pork steak that wasn't 100% DONE DONE DONE so that was probably it for that one, and this last one myself, the littlest and the hubs all got sick, So I'm 99% sure it was the hamburger we had last night cus... I mean what are the odds that 3 people get sick the same way at the same time?

In other news RS just put out a new male body, and OOOOooooh myyy! they put out the MSD dragon male, and a human male, Sui and Tang respectively.  Their heads are nice, not anything I'm jumping out a window to get but really nice, their bodies on the other hand are kinda crazy.  They are muscular, OH so muscular.  Like Val needs him a new body Muscular, cus no one is gonna guess him as a girl after that... But I'm a little scared that his head is going to be a little too small, I fear I'm going to have to mod him, shorten the neck, sand out some of the veining, smooth out the thigh above the knee... Interesting thing is Now I'm stuck deciding who I'm going to get... because I have Val who I wanna rehome into that body, The prince who I could get but is going to require a different head, and mom's going to get Candice Sui for Xmas... I want to get the dragon boy (because he's on sale at present O.O) but I don't know if they'll give me the sale price with a ming head, and I really REALLY want to get val rehomed... Decisions.

Every day I'm durpin...

So satie is coming along nicely, so Is Jesene, AND poor little lori is getting a wig worked on...

In other news my little "Lor" (huju Suve) has found an exceptionally loving mom in my mom.  She's been renamed "Elli" and she shall soon be a red headed little babeh.  Also, I have so many more things for my eventual room for my dollies I just (really, really, really) Need to get a space where the kids won't destroy all my stuff.  I'm considering actually getting a book case thingy, but I NEEEEED doors so that the kids can't wreck it as easily, plus I want it to be -very- bottom heavy so that it won't tip.  I'd love to just straight up make a space like mom but Apartment so no.  I really need a storage solution for the doll clothes, Lotus's outfit by Keely is missing and I'm pretty pissed about that.  But I have no one but myself to be angry at.  I thought I knew where it was and I was very very wrong so I'm slowly going through all the BS in the house looking for it as I try to organize my dolly stuff.  Think it's time the livingroom got a revamp so I can have the doll stuff closer at hand and maybe find a better (read more protected) place for my yarn.

But yea, just a quick update on all thingies dolly.Later Gater.
