Update on all things unrelated to Ice Cream

Hi everyone no idea why I haven't posted this here yet. Back in march I ordered durring the Luts MDF event :D, and I said this post is late considering so far a few people who have ordered around the time I did have already started getting their MDFs. It's so exciting I'm hoping to get mine before our local meet this week but with the Korean holidays right now I'm looking at a next week arrival.

I'm sooooooooooooo sorry I've been missing in action, I've been so busy these past weeks I'll try to get an update in this week or on Saturday a lot has happened via my Dollie plans and I've found my grail doll and it's a hard one to come by without access to the second hand market it will require me to stalk the doll company website I will speak more about what sculpt this is in the update video. I will say it's a she and I recently missed the chance to get her in tan skin. See you all in the video later this week.

O_O -dies alittle inside- available when you cant get it T_T

So I like to periodically check in to bjd shops I like. I looked into Doll Singing, Angel Studio, and Desers today and Desers is offering all of my favorite outfits for preorder now when I'm in the middle of saving for my 2 Luts SD's T_T I'd love the Lady Donut for my Cami :< I guess that means its not limited edition so it will pop up again in the future. Also Miss Leopard is now available to the public (or will be very soon). It will be approximately 368 Rmb so about 61 Usd. I will do a review on it when mine arrives at the end of the month. I dont have my SD yet so no on the doll review till then. Maybe around March or April.  Link to +Desers+

Black Butler BJD!?!?

I’ve been in love with Black Butler ever since being introduced to it by my wonderful friend Wendy (http://www.youtube.com/user/WennieBJD) and today whilst randomly searching dolly images I found THIS! Ciel and Sebastian minime’s OMFG! I just about passed out. 

FACT! Issei, although not extremely similar to him, was inspired by Sebastian! ^___^ 

I see one of these guys is a Luts Kid Delf Bory. Can someone please identify the other sculpt???

I saw this post weeks ago on lortisbjds. Sorry for bringing this back up after weeks Lorti, but I remembered it while looking for dollie cosplay things (props and whatnot) and on a forum I'm on there was a discussion about 2 doll heads of unknown origin. The two heads looked strangely like Sebastian Michaelis CP sculpt? I translated it noobie speak and i think it means Fairyland JP exclusive event. (Look down below for that picktor) I love Sebby I hate Black Butler cause of the ending >_> <_< that lil brat. But I sadly have to say both this one ^ and the other Sebastian sculps were limited. This one was a Immortality of Soul (IOS) Blood sculpt owned by zetahadrian of DA and the Ciel is indeed a Bory.

Here is the sexy Fairyland Sebastian:

The Heads Normal and Dreaming

and full body and outfit

It's safe to say I'll be wishing for these sculpts to be available again oneday. I'd like this Fullset though it includes more things. That smirk :)

Amazing BJD Shops: +Desers+ Pt 1

I've only been in the hobby for a short time now, but in that amount of time I've found some amazing companies. I will list out in seprate posts about my favorite items from different shops.

Featured shop today is:

+Desers+

They have amazing high quality outfits that have multiple parts and can be used easily with other outfits. here are 2 sets I own and one i love that is no longer available.

Rainbow Bell is a cupcake dress with multi color stripes with hearts, bells, cat ears, and puppies.

The second outfit is the Ms Leopard. It's a gorgeous 1/3 outfit I got for a future doll of mine I'll be getting this spring.

Last but not least my all time favorite set that is unavailable :<  Lady Donut

I wont link to each individule outfit due to them being unavalible but I will link the TaoBao store http://desers.taobao.com/

Here is my response to EmiMarie's video, I chose to post my comment to her video here as it is long.

As a new person in this hobby I've seen and heard of the recast hate, and it's sad that negativity can be found even in a doll hobby. Dolls are meant for fun and expression. I understand BJDs are handmade works of art that takes alot of time to make. Most of witch are greatly over priced but do indeed look gorgeous and us the hobbyists will pay the money for that sculpt we want.

If someone wants a sculpt thats been discontinued 2 years ago and on the second hand market it's being sold for $1800 when it's been available for $400 originally chances are that 1 person wont want to pay that especially if they wanted a different skin tone say yellow or tan or even blue. I wouldn't want to risk modding an $1800 doll. Then a recaster is found selling this doll as a recast in your choice of skin tone and add-ons for $200-$300 it's what they wanted, the doll company lost $0 cause it's a sale they never would of made regardless. Now i'm not for buying currently available sculpts as recasts. that is costing the company money not alot considering about 50% of the recast sales might of actually not have access to the fund for a $600 doll. If i personally met someone in the hobby with a recast, I'd treat them the same as a legit doll owner, would i scream OMG A RECAST? No it's not my place to I might ask the person in privet hey is that a recast to not have them be shunned by others who dident know because to be honest recasts look like legit dolls with small easily over looked differences ei: shorter or skinnier doll.

My next point is as said in the video the secondhand market isent gaining the doll companies any money either. Say I bought for example Luts recent limited SD Dion and Mia Fox fullsets $540 each, and resold them to someone who wanted them but missed the chance to get them a year later for $700 each thats a sale Luts dident get. Same with reselling a doll they currently have available thats being resold now in the second hand market Luts made no money off that sale either.

Would I ever buy a recast? maybe not the dolls I want are available how I want them I'll do a post on that. But I 150% agree with Emi if someone has a recast it's their business not yours stop the bs the witch hunts (I've seen a video about that and it's ridiculous)ypu have too much time on your hands if you have time to stalk someone's facebook, twitter, flickr, instagram, etc just to see if they have a recast to give them the scarlet letter of a recast supporter to lock them out of the hobby. It's childish and wrong that person is a human with feelings too and you have no right to humiliate and bully them cause of where their resin came from, what means, and what reason.

Happy New Year and dollie bad hair day

Hi everyone and welcome to my blog. I chose to start this on new years as a new year new hobby kind of thing. 

I recently posted my first video on YouTube staring my doll Rosetta just after her box opening. I will post pictures here of her soon and her new look.

Speaking of her new look all thats different on her is her once curly wig is now straight. I flat ironed her hair considering her hair kept getting massive tangles knots and all from her just sitting idle during the day. her wig is made of heat resisting fiber so flat irons and curling irons of a moderate safe heat are ok and wont harm or damage it. I noticed from her pigtails and the base wig all 3 parts need trimming due to the way the ringlets are cut. It's in a way that when straight you may get some uneven parts. I will post images of her in a few hours. 

Once again Happy New Year everyone :3
