Stori got her spots and wig today! She's one step closer to being complete. I'm so excited, I can't wait. I'm going to work on her tail next, I think.

photo dump of how the customizing is going! Andromeda (alien) has her antennae blocked out and wrapped for clay. Nezz has his tail made (might redo), and also his little horn wrapped for clay
on today's episode of Adventures in Customizing, I made my first ever wig for a custom of my friend's OC, and I think it turned out pretty okay. I used yarn to mimic loc'd hair. If anyone has any tips for getting the wig off the model doll so it can go on the right doll when it gets here, I would appreciate it.
her wig still needs glued in and I'm probably gonna braid it, but it's almost four am and I'm sleepy. but yeah, I think I can call my first official custom done.
The Elphaba custom is going well!
I've been bit by the customization bug, and I've decided to try to customize my friend and I's Fabula Ultima characters we have. I started with my retired character bc she's got a bunch of stuff I'll need to know how to do for other dolls. she's an alien, so that comes with body paint, eye modifications, antennae needing attached, etc. This is the process so far.
Decided I wanted to customize my Addy into an Elphaba, because I don't have $300 for the collector's edition (and also I'm learning how to customize, so I thought this was a good first project. Her body is green, gonna work on her limbs next!
This is all I’m going to be talking about now!!
Have you seen Moana yet? She’s stunning and I say this as someone who hasn’t been impressed with most of the DisneyAG dolls, the only one I’ve liked before this was Tiana.

I cannot stress enough that this might be the most important doll I've posted about.
Meet Jafra, the Palestinian fashion doll.
Information on her took a bit of digging, but as far as I can tell she debuted in either December 2015 or January 2016. She was initially available for purchase through her website, and after a year began to be sold at Hamleys in Jordan, UAE, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi. In 2021 the Palestine Museum began selling her for $49.99 each, and is now completely sold out.
Each doll wears a detailed thobe, the longer one in front for their bridal collection. The thobe is a traditional Palestinian dress with tatreez (embroidery) which uses color to indicate what region the wearer is from. During the First Intifada in the 80s, it became a symbol of resistance against Israeli Apartheid, and of Palestinians' connection to their land. (Credit to Handmade Palestine and @nickysfacts for this information)
As far as I can tell based on discrepancy in stock photos, the dolls with embroidered thobes were considered collectors items with a higher price. Meanwhile the details were printed for playline releases at Hamleys, likely to lower the price for better availability.
Jafra's dream is to "empower all the beautiful girls from the Middle East". She lives away from her homeland, but hopes to design and build her own house in Palestine. She grows Chamomile and Thyme in her garden, studies architectural design in college, and always tries to volunteer and help others. Her thobe binds her to her home country, passed down from her ancestors.
"Jafra is beyond a doll... beyond an idea. It's a deep-rooted tradition mixed with history and memories"
I hope I have made it abundantly clear that I do and always will support Palestine, and encourage anyone who considers this genocide a "war against Hamas" to unfollow and block me immediately. You have been given every opportunity to educate yourself and sympathize with the innocent Palestinians suffering at the hands of Israel, and your ignorance does not deserve a listening ear over them.
To my followers, I implore you to do your daily click. Contact your representatives. Attend protests. Donate or buy an e-sim if you can. We need to let our government know we are not going to fucking stand for this, and support Palestinians however remotely possible.
A ceasefire WILL be reached. Palestine WILL be free. No matter what actions Israel and its disgusting supporters commit Palestine WILL NEVER DIE.
Ramadan Kareem, and Free Palestine.
On god feel like making some Jafra fanart.
HERE SHE IS
Also i have the head that Jafra uses in my spare parts box, I'll have to reroot it one day and make my own Jafra :)
I did my first rewig! it was a Julie, and now she has Truly Me 122's wig. I think her name is going to be Imogen.
"Some day I'll wish upon a star / And wake up where the clouds are far behind me / Where troubles melt like lemon drops / Away above the chimney tops / that's where you'll find me"
current doll wishlist. I actually think I've got a 76 and 120 lined up, I just have to pull the trigger. I'm so excited!
does anyone ever use their truly me's as ages older than children? I'm just wondering bc my friend and I have a shared universe, but all of our dolls are 18+ and I was wondering if that was weird/is something you guys wouldn't want to hear about? idk. I've got so much love for our dolls/universe and I just wanna talk about them somewhere lol.
