I'm sooo in trouble.

So RS put out their new hooved boy... and I'm smitten.  I looked at him and I about exploded.  I love him.  I'm smitten.  If you look to the side of this blog and look at the "planned" list there are two new names on there.  He is "The Prince" And he LOOKS like a prince of the forest. I'm so introuble because a Prince needs to have a servant to attend him.... So now I added a Ming (the new boy) and a Yao to my list... and it's just TERRIBLE I don't have enough money for even ONE doll... not even one HEAD, Let alone two new ones on my list.  And I'm just smitten.  I think he looks so neat... and he's got this young expressive face... T_T  Worse yet He's got new hands... So.. Val has more new hands he needs T_T I'm soo screwed...

Big Sigh

Ok I've posted about this on my forum a couple of times but crap I just need to center my irritation in a single place.


Feather Fall

Feather Fall is a distributer of BJD's that sells Resin Soul dolls and the original RS sculpt "Iruhi"

Feather Fall has been irritating the everloving SHIT out of me for a while.  It's not just one little thing.  First I find out that they -will not- be ordering any dolls in Dark tan resin... which in it's self wouldn't be a big deal.  There reason was the problem.. No it's not because sometimes the DT comes with white stuff on it or can be uneven color... it was because they ordered the Iruhi in DT as a LE, and want the DT to be "special"... Ok... OK >.> What ever.  You're dicks I get it.  Then very recently they announced that "HEY! we have a SPECIAL new doll coming out.  And they were being SOOO hush hush.  What was the doll?  Bao head on the Dog body.  Yea... their special doll is a doll ANYONE CAN ORDER.... AT ANY TIME!!!  If I were to email Sun a week from now and request something stupid like a doll with a head they don't think works on it... they will send it to me.  If I were to ask them to send me half a doll... they would do it...

So A month or whenever they no longer will order more "Charm"s (oh.. yea.. that's what they called the damn thing... CHARM)  I could email Sun and be like "Hey.. Bao head on the Dog body?  I can has?"  more than likely Sun will be like...  "Oh! yea what color?"  It's like Feather Fall doesn't know what their customer base, WE know that it's not Limited edition.  You're not going to fool most of us.  Maybe some one who is too new to BJD's to know how RS and BBB work... But those of us who have talked to Sun... we know better... and so does Feather Fall.  And that's what REALLY pisses me off.  They are trying to scam people into believing that they have something special... when it's just NORMAL stuff.  They'll probably charge extra for it.  At which point I will have lost any will to do anything with Feather fall... EVER.  Like ever ever...

But yea.  I guess I might not be getting my "some day"/lotto winner pukisha puki puki from them after all.

Arrasatie

Nickname: Satie
Mold
Head: Rong
Body: Resinsoul Double jointed, Mature bust, with beast legs
Resin: Dark tan skin
Face up: By me
Eyes: Safrin Doll Caribbean 16mm
Hair: Yarn Wig by me.  it'll be brown white and black.
Extras: I'm not totally sure yet but she will at least have a tail and possibly horns.  Not sure yet on if I'm going to find resin ones, or if I'm just gonna make them out of what's handy.
Story: Satie's story is still being worked on, but so far, she saved a dryad from death when her tree died.  Now the two are gf's.  Satie is a pretty outgoing, energetic, protective person who enjoys music like no other.  Me thinks she's going to have some instraments if I can find them... 
History:  When I first saw the Rong head I thought "that looks funny with those ears... You know what she'd look good as?  A fawn.  Those are deer ears.  But she'd need hooved legs."  then wouldn't you know it, they brought out beast legs... At the time I was planing an adult fairy in the lavender with a mei head... And Pretty much I decided that Mei would make a cute girlfriend to Rong.  Then the Mei turned into a Fei and changed from a Fairy to a "Deadwood" Dryad cus the skin color wasn't going to work and I saw a modded fei that I loved.

New doll wishes

I hate it when I get like this.  I want to plan a new doll or have a new doll or SOMETHING.  But nothing is grabbing me. It's been an ongoing issue, especially with Lori so far out of reach yet again.  And worse yet a lot of owner pics are starting to change my mind about Yao.  I don't know what I'd do with her but I'm liking her more and more.  But she's much like Song.  I -LIKE- the head but I have no USE for the head.  Honestly my little clan that I have planned is pretty complete at the moment.  I have the fawn and her dryad lover, Cassie, Val and their baby, and the three fairies.  I suppose the only thing that would add more dolls to my list is if the new hooved boy turns out super fab and I end up "having" to have him.  Then perhaps Yao will find a place in my dolls.  Perhaps he would be a satyr, or Forrest king and she would be his elven servant, just defiant enough to make her fun to oppress.  Or he might be a demon and she his succubus cohort...

Either way, it's all hinging on me not just liking.. but LOVING the new male sculpt.  The demon is pretty much no chance, I'd need a beefy boy and the new male body is just too scrawny.  The Satyr thing could work with a devious enough face, but it's so unlikely *sigh*  I'm even starting to like Li who, truth be told, I hated when she came out.  Yes, she was pretty, but I couldn't bring myself to say more than that for her.  now I'm a little more open to her, she's pretty but still not for me.  Doesn't stop her from being FASCINATING since my sister is planning on making her a dark unicorn.  Worse yet there's supposed to be a female 1/6th sized doll coming out "soon but not too soon" So that's sounding like fall. It's supposed to have a new body... and I'm just like... fingers crossed that I like the new head and that the new body isn't super different.  Cus I'm thinking that there's a chance... Lotus might end up having to be reshelled.  I LOVE her as a Bei... but she's sooo sweet looking, and if there's a more mature body... and a more adult looking head... crap.  I'm sunk.  This girl will have to be died purple and become my purple fairy and then Lotus will get a new body and new head.  If it's only one or the other... I might get away with just getting a new body... but yea.  *siiiigh*

Maybe I should just name my fawn and dryad >.< any ideas?

Tulip

Nickname: None
Mold
Head: Ya
Body: Resinsoul double jointed Female MSD
Resin: white
Face up: by me.  She came out really nicely
Eyes: Grey green Acrylic.
Hair: I'll have to ask mom, can't remember off the top... but she's a dishwater blonde.
Extras: Tulip is on the newer RS body, and is before the new hips, so I had to really take some serious sand paper to her hips, and even to the backs of her thighs to make her sit better.  She's got both the regular Rong hands and the Yao hands, not to mention she's got the regular feet and the high heel feet.
Story:  This is mom's doll, not mine.  So I don't really know what kind of story she might ever get, if any.  I know mom likes her but I don't think that mom has any plans for a background story or even a character.
History: Not too much to tell.  Mom's first doll ^_^

It's been a while

Yea I've been out of it when it comes to Doll stuff.  Like REALLY out of it.  But I just had a doll meet yesterday and I'm pretty excited about the idea of getting back into doll stuff making... I think it has to do with the restringing I did.  Helped restring a SD boy who was being fitful and helped out a lot wish she would have brought his head so that I could have helped more... or that I'd have remembered my glue gun so that i could have helped with his sueding but all is in the past.


So A while back my friend (daemon) who isn't into dolls but IS into creepy things said he'd love it if I would make a creepy doll.  We're talking extra limbs, LED eyes, carved in mouths or wounds, anything I can think of to make a creepy doll.  But my own aesthetic insist that I still need to be able to find her pretty.  SO I  think I might start designing a doll.  Not sure if we're talking true undead (Oh stitches would be fun!) Something serpentine (Naga?  extra arms? extended torso?  WHO KNOWS!!! Probably lots of scales.)  or just straight up alien (Additive mod for spines or ridges?) 

I would certainly use a RS or BBB doll for the base, because... Yea even if someone else is funding I'm still just too frugal to buy a super expensive doll to hack up.  Not to mention, I LOVE RS/BBB! they are pretty easy to work with too... So if I wanted to order extra limbs to add arms... Just add it to the order.  It's really that simple.  Not to mention, color is an option with them...

Bad part about deciding is that he'll be no help.  when talking about it, he simply flooded me with creepy pictures that he was hoping I might be able to do. So yea, he gave me ideas, and NO focus.

I am thinking maybe some crazy frankendoll. And I'll buy some extra arms to make articulated wings with >.> that would be badass... can I pull it off? prolly not.. but FUCK it would be cool.

Random bits

So alot of stuff has been going on, some of it fun... Some of it very NOT fun.  we'll start with the not fun.

Not fun: Eldest gets an ear infection, No more than 2 weeks later, Youngest gets an ear infection.  Little one is still miserable with it, poor little thing.  He's been having problems sleeping, had a fever, and after half a week of dealing with that he finally started tugging on his ear so I knew what was going on.

Not fun: I need to start exercising just so I don't feel so dead all the time.  I've been so tired lately most day's after I get biggun to the buss... I fall back asleep for hours.  Like I've slept till 1 several times, and that's just not cool.

Fun: Eldest is doing really well in school!  Had  a meeting with his teacher about him and he's actually doing really well in most areas.  being that He's been diagnosed with PDD (which is an abnormal autism diagnosis) Him doing "better" in all areas and him doing "average" in some and "above" in others... I'll fuckin take it!

Last fun is a bit of a story:  So a while back, there was this fabric that I wanted, but I didn't really have the money so I put it off.  Well it disappeared from walmart, the whole damn bolt.  This bummed me out greatly, because not only was it purple but it had a rather small motif, suitable for dolly stuff.  Fast forward to earlier this week, I'm in the same walmart, looking at their new pretty display of zippers and I turn to talk to the sweet old lady who cuts the fabric.  And there... in this cart that looks suspiciously like returns is a WAD of this fabric.  I recognize it right off and inspect it.  It is neatly folded and almost looks almost like someone just took the bolt out of the center of the fabric.  I ask her about it, You know, Hey is this up for grabs, what is this, kinda stuff.  And she tells me whats going on with it.

Oh this girl who used to work here had me cut that for her, but apparently when she got it to the register her order totaled out at 150 dollars so she decided not to take it.  Simple enough answer right?  She continues the story though.  Apparently this girl Snuck the fabric into the lawn and garden section and hid it in some room back there.  Left it there... Then, for a totally unrelated thing (Oh yea, this is three full quilts worth of fabric, we divided it out, and they were really quite pretty, 2 of them were nothing I wanted but they were pretty all the same) She got in trouble with the office so left a note on her counter stating simply "I quit" and left.  Now honestly most people would have taken the fabric with them, stealing it, but she didn't...  Some security dude found the fabric and brought it upfront and they just pitched it in a cart and sent it back to fabrics and crafts.

This is the point at which I look down and inspect the fabric once again, there is some dust and it's not as clean as it should be but that's not a Huge deal.  Just as I'm about to leave I look down and notice the date on the tag...  2/26/2011 This lady forgot to mention that this stuff had been out there 3 friggin months!! It only mattered because the stickers they use... don't last 3 months.  They last about 1.5 to 2.  Less if the item is deleted (which this fabric was long since deleted)  BUT! I GOT MY FABRIC! and I'm totally stoked.  the backer for the quilt... Was the stuff i wanted ^o^ I have no idea what I'll do with 8 yards of the stuff since I have no intentions of making the original quilt it was cut for (didn't even buy all the purples, some of them were really not that cute) But I am considering trying to make a different quilt.. just don't know what yet ^_^

But yea, interesting stuff going on, not all good... but it's stuff.
