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;

Dolls and Lingerie - Definitely NSFW

Okay, so just in case you didn't see the title, again, this is NOT SAFE FOR WORK! XD Don't let your coworkers think you're a creeper!

So, in case you were wondering where this came from all of a sudden, I want to tell you all that I work at Victoria's Secret. It's a place where I have to stare at panties and bras all day, and, of course, we have lingerie. I've always admired lingerie, even though I'm sure a lot of it is uncomfortable to wear, and I think it's definitely a fun piece of clothing that can be made into a work of high art, complimenting the female form without obscuring much of anything.

Iplehouse has recently opened a new line of dolls called E.I.D., a tall, mature, curvy, and not-as-stick-thin line of doll which is supposed to call to mind the beautiful grown woman. I think they accomplish this beautifully, as you can see from this picture of Asa. All of the E.I.Ds are lingerie-clad in the promo pictures, and while I was staring at lingerie at work today, I wondered what everyone thought of this trend.

Dollmore has long been offering lingerie with their basic dolls, and they have a new set of 3 limiteds (pictured) that come with lingerie. Individual doll owners also sometimes shoot their dolls dressed in lingerie.

Take this beautiful MNF Lishe for example. Her owner, yennaibi, made this set for her, and I think it looks really professional and cute! (Check out yennaibi's flickr in the link, she has some other great photography and sewing projects!)

You can also order lingerie custom made (or by auction, etc.). Linnabeti made this set, and you can commission her for sets like these on Den of Angels.

To be honest, I always felt a bit strange about dolls in lingerie, because lingerie has always had that sexuality and erotic connotation about it, and no matter how human they look, dolls are still dolls. But it's like anything else - if you find beauty in something, photograph it! I don't find as much beauty in eroticism, but for some people the two words are synonymous, and in some lingerie photographs eroticism isn't the central theme. I think it's possible to take the sexuality out of the naked form, like in artistic nude pictures, so why not do the same with an only-slightly-clothed form? And doll lingerie takes some really amazing skill and craftsmanship, so on that merit alone perhaps photographs are warranted.

Does it lend a human air to the dolls? Do you get it just because it's pretty and you wouldn't want to wear it yourself? Do you like the art form of lingerie? Do you just like that style of photography (pin up, artistic almost-nude, etc.)? Tell me why you choose to make, photograph, or look at photographs of dolls in lingerie!
