Where's Novella?
Oct. 22nd, 2012 08:10 amMandragore mailed Novella from Germany last Monday. As usual, the tracking took a while to update. I successfully followed her across the ocean and through the international sort facility in New York City, and then...nothing. She was processed through the sort facility on October 18th, but her information has not updated since then. How irritating.
The higher the hair...
Oct. 22nd, 2012 09:07 am...the closer to God! I found this site because Andrea saw this wig and thought of Mick.
After poking around the site, I realize why the stock looks so familiar. Given the problems of scale, these 1:1 wigs on 1:1 heads look very similar to 1:6 scale wigs on 1:6 scale heads. Any time you try to do curls, waves or any sort of updo in 1:6 scale using 1:1 wig hair, it inevitably results in something that looks like pagodas or minarets formed by hairspray. Check out pretty much any wig on Monique Trading Company's site for reference. O_O

What this world needs...
Oct. 22nd, 2012 09:29 am...to capitalize on the aforementioned architectural results of trying to do something complex with 1:1 hair in a 1:6 scale wig, is clearly a drag queen fairy. Ideally she would be inresinated by a male Soom Faery Legend to exploit the beautiful body sculpt, as well as the built-in wing slots. Another Metato would be awesome, as his lush features would be dazzling with stylized makeup. Kremer would do for a more androgynous look.
On the other hand, a Lumedoll Lumelight Lucas on a muscular body could also work. I am selecting this sculpt because of its strong, square jawline, although the piddly eyes would have to be opened slightly. Given that body's lack of wing slots, her wings would have to be fabric, which is fine, because male Faery Legend wings are exceptionally heavy; they throw the doll off balance. [Poor Flower.] I'd have to do something about those distressingly blocky, undersculpted Lumedoll hands, though.
Okay, sweetheart, get in line. I've got at least Novella and Lura to do before I get to you. [There could also be someone based on Elfdoll Doona Ryung, but nothing's definite at this point.]
Dolls are such bastards. They actively conspire to excite my lust and steal my money. :p

The last time I discussed paying the shit out of my auto loan, I had $508.39 and about eight months left on it. Since then, I have made two principal payments, bringing it down to $415.18.
I've been spending disgusting amounts on doll-related stuff recently, so I'm thinking of NOT doing that for the coming pay period [October 28 through November 14th]. Of course, I will continue with my layaway to Andrea for Theophany etc., but I will not get anything new. Instead, I will direct all the money that has been going toward doll-related stuff to my auto loan. I estimate that I should be able to pay about $150.00 to $200.00 toward it.
Jareth: "I'll just be over here, suffering in silence." *presses inside of wrist to forehead in melodramatic gesture*
Me: "You do that."

Found Novella!
Oct. 22nd, 2012 07:52 pmShe's currently in Nashua, NH. Let's hope she doesn't go leaf-peeping to Scarborough, ME, the way that my eyes from Kattunge did! >_>
...I ended up starting Jareth's faceup tonight with Prismacolor colored pencils directly on unsealed resin.

Dolls should not have wish lists.
Oct. 22nd, 2012 09:45 pmWhoops.
Mr. Demandy McDemandypants wants the following, in no particular order:
some underwear [contemplating something like Dorsetclothing's retro black ruffled underpants on Etsy because they are FUCKING HILARIOUS]
the previously mentioned hot pink and black vinyl underbust corset and matching miniskirt
that Souldoll Ruvo-Z outfit for Zenith dudes
some weird black leather cropped vest with steel epaulets featuring studs and spikes
a froofy skirt with various black and pink layers [eyeballing one on the DOA marketplace]
Tata's Paradise Evildoer Punk black leather bolero jacket, also with spiked studs [yes, I know it's sold out]
Tata's Paradise motorcycle gloves ["theirs not to reason why..."]
a short red fur wig
a long hot pink wig
black leather collar with steel spikes
black leather wrist cuffs with steel spikes
I would get him a ball gag too if I thought that would stop him making demands, but he's here inside my mind, kind of like the Phantom of the Opera, only not abusive and with a much better sense of humor, so a ball gag wouldn't do anything.
FLE car: "Neener neener, I'm getting all of Elizabeth's extra money for the next two weeks!"
Jareth: "Curses!"
Me: "You do realize that you're demanding a wardrobe that costs hundreds of dollars that I could be spending on other dolls, right?"
Jareth: "It's all part of my cunning plan to have you forsake them all and have no othergods dolls before me."
Me: "You have no power over me."
Jareth: "La la la I can't hear you..."
