Maaya (Latte) and Em (ALa) sportingnew wigs – Em even with a new body! – marking the first two “custom” girls of mine. While a change of wig and a new body doesn’t really equal customizing, I’ve really taken the plunge now, though: my desk is filled with wigs and body parts, open heads and faceplates, screws and tools. I even made my significant other come home from work to give me some sanding paper and help me saw down the neck peg on the newest obitsu body..! :D

My Papin came second-hand, without her stock wig, but today I reckon she found a nifty replacement! Fun day postal wise today; two wigs, and loads of clothes including one black and one brown leather jacket. Finally, a bait body from which I’ll be able to snag a new arm for poor Aquel! With time, I will replace all bodies with obitsus, but for now they’ll have to stay with their type3 bodies – there are still two new family members who will need to be paid for first..!

I dropped by a craft store a couple of days ago, looking for Wilton’s icing colours for some cupcakes I’d promised my 9 y/o. Turned out, the store was in the process of moving, and they had a 75% off sales..! There wasn’t much left (I got the icing colours I was looking for, though!), but I was quite pleased with the things Smilla – my Chill – are showing off here. The felt fabric rolls were only $2.5 each! I foresee some nifty duffle coat for my girls..! The scrapbook paper is meant to be wallpaper (there are four sheets of each design).

And yeah, I’ve finally come around to naming my girls. Some are namesakes, some got their names “just because”.

Smilla is named after the main character of Peter Hoeg’s novel and the film by the same name. Keren is named after one of my favourite singer/songwriters; Keren Ann. Lisa is named after Lisa Kimmel Fischer from the TV series Six Feet Under.

These two beauties are currently on their way to my rapidly growing Pullip family. The left one is a re-wigged Papin, released August 2006, the other one is an Asuka (full name: Asuka Langley Soryu, of Evangelion), released March 2008.

For my own record:

Seller is unbirthdayalice and they were paid for on Aug 11. Update: she messaged me on Aug 21 to let me know that she had shipped the dolls that Monday, Aug 18.
