Regrets

I really, really, really, really miss my Volks Kurumi. Words can't describe how stupid I feel selling her. I guess pragmatically it's still for the better - proceeds from selling the Unoa Zero will go towards furniture, and somehow I feel better about getting a Shushu and some furniture from the Zero's blood money than with Kurumi's.... but still. I should've just bit the bullet and bought the Ariadoll body for her, whether the resin would be an exact match or not......

I've never experienced such huge sales regret before. >< I never realized it could sting this much to just part with an object.

My only consolation is that I shall be getting her in the future..... someday, I think. A DP20 version that may be less yellowed (but by that time, who knows T_T).

Goodbye, Kurumi

I'm sending my beloved Kurumi away. The Unoa Zero's body and faceplates suit my dolly needs more at the moment. But Kurumi will always be a dream doll for me, and I'll get her again when I have more money in the future! I miss her already, looking at all of these pictures of her. T_T

Revised Doll Wishlist!

I'm just up bored and sick, so I've revised my doll wishlist!

Oh my god, it's boys! Boy dolls on my wishlist?!?! Anyway, this was a limited headsculpt from the company SNG Switch. The first one is the more 'open-eyed' version of the sculpt and its name is Milwha, and the second one is the 'dreaming' version, whose name is Hahwha. I really can't decide which one I like better and would be happy owning both. I would love to put them both on Volks SDGr bodies; I've handled one in person and they're really great. But they cost lots and lots of money for a body, and so I may go the Spiritdoll route (I like those bodies, too). In my opinion, they would make marvelous twins. I would REALLY like it if they were twins. xD They also remind me of Suzaku and Lelouch of Code Geass (respectively) and that doesn't hurt. Although I would really envision Suzaku's face with a more 'I'm a little bitch' expression.


Shiny Fairy May (picture by Turbow on Flickr). I really adore Bluefairy's way of sculpting and I don't like the bodies/headsculpts any less through the owner pics. Hana's eyes started to bother me so little mature May is now my goal. She embodies a character named Tryphosa, the curious and intelligent daughter of a classics professor at Kumiho's college. I'm going to start saving for her after Christmas. :3

An Unoa Zero. Big boobs, too? Jeez, really breaking the mold on my usual tastes. Yeah yeah, I know. She'll be the cost of a small house. But she'll be worth it. Someday I will own a Latea/Marion/Sleeping Faceplates/boobs conglomeration. She may have alternate personalities? I'm not really sure what I want to do with her character yet.

Iplehouse SID Soo is next on the list. I've decided to reshell Remiel. T_T I adore the modded Supia Roda head I have for her, but she's a very realistic character and the sculpt just never seemed to perfectly reflect her strong badassery. This sculpt, though young looking, has potential and I don't think she'll look shabby sporting Remiel's ice blue eyes and unnatural flaming red hair.

Actually, that's all for now. I eventually want a Minifee, but the more I look at all of them the more I get confused as to which one I'd really want. I think I really just enjoy the A-line body so much, and want to have a character to go with it lol. I could go Celty-style and make it headless, but then the elastic would show, wouldn't it? XD

Part of it may be my satisfaction in just owning my Volks Kurumi. She's really everything I want in an adorable girl doll (except she's SD10 size, which is hard to carry around! Hence Tryphosa) so I think the need to get others has been severely curtailed. Now I'm wanting for those mature girls, and boys, as you can see! Oh my, I'm going down a dark path. XD;

Tinier Me Dream Selfy

... So so awesome. An hour was fruitfully wasted.



That's Kumiho's human form, if anyone was wondering who that random Selfy is. XD They need more black hairstyles that - dare I say - aren't lolita-esque. I want one to match her black Leeke wig!



This is a character of mine called Kiyo! She's not a tomboy, but she's not really that interested in frilly things, either.

Stress Photoshoot

This is the second installment of my joint project with Angeldolls' Xynsta. Since we live 3,000 miles away from one another, we figured it'd be cool to do collaborative shoots around the same theme, and put them side-by-side to create an interesting contrast of ideas. Here, our theme was Stress.

Hiatus Lift and Collaboration!

Click to see a bigger version! I've been a long time admirer of the Angeldolls UK blog, and Xynsta and I had been in contact via Flickr. We decided to do a collaboration since we both had blogs about BJDs, featuring our individual photos following a theme!

Our theme this month was 'happiness'. Xynsta had this to say about her photos:

"Angel is a sweet little girl with a fancy imagination. She is happy to play with her toys by herself, but enjoys playing with others too. After a fun-filled day, she likes to lay on her bed and daydream about happy things. :3"

For me, my take is this: "Kumiho wakes up to a day and plans what exactly she is going to do. Even if none of those things come true, the planning is what makes her happy and so she's happy to wake up every morning, if just for the fantasy of what she will do later."

I'm really happy with how these turned out! Xynsta's photography is beautifully glowing as usual, and I think my darker tones actually go well with her lighter ones! It really seems like the two exist in kind of the same world, just far away from one another.... which is technically true, heh. I think I'm a little rusty from being away for so long.

In any case, please enjoy these collaborations! There are more to come - monthly collabs planned. :3

Quick Pic

Just a quick picture of me holding Kumiho. I like how you can't see our entire faces in this picture!

Recent Kumiho Photoshoot

Just a few experimental shots in dark light, taken with a flash and then edited. I know that the second one is grainy and too saturated, but it was a junk picture to begin with and I thought it looked really nice as long as it wasn't full-viewed.

As always, concrit appreciated!
