New dolls: nude re-wigged Namu Vispo, still un-named (although “still”: he actually arrived today, so I guess I am allowed to think about it for another couple of days?), a nude J-Doll Picasso St. East, and a bald Licca head. Isn’t Vispo just the most handsome Namu?
The Licca head is put on a 23cm male obitsu, and is sporting the Sleeping Elf wig I’ve shown off before, the one that resembles the Sweeney Todd ‘do a little and which has been worn by Class Mate Takeru as well as Cherishdoll bjd Pi before her. I don’t feel too bad about giving her a male body – it’s not like it’s anatomically correct, it’s just flat chested and a bit more athletic over the shoulders than the female versions. Dressed up she looks as feminine as any other girlie doll!
She will be getting a BFF in a couple of weeks, I’ve just arranged to get another Licca head (this time with the rooted hair still intact, although with a short cut). Their names will be Pepper (my current girl) and Crystal (the one who’s joining later, she’s got blond hair)!
The J-Doll will be my Class Mates’ older sister or something, will decide when I get to see her next to them “in person” (Marippe is supposedly made using the same face mold). She’s not here yet, I am purchasing her from lorentine and will pick her up at a mini doll convention next weekend. It will be fun to finally get to meet other Norwegian Pullip nerds!
At that doll convention there will be mostly bjd people, though. We’re meeting at skumringslandet‘s place, and there will be workshops for everything from restringing to faceups, and of course general admiring of each others’ “babies”. I will need assistance in sueding all of my dolls – they were hot glue sueded by silence_bliss this Christmas, but I am guessing that the cold temperatures has made the glue come off or at least lose its rubbery character, and it’s time to redo the procedure. Poor Shin has never been sueded at all, I am really looking forward to enabling the poseability his double joints offer! And speaking of Shin, he could need a touch up face wise as well.. Yes, already. See, I thought he was a bit dirty on his forehead and cheeks today, and decided to wipe him a littlewith magical sponge.. Big mistake. Shin is now without eye brows! >__<
Another big mistake has been done as well, as I was one of the people trusting the latest Pullip scammer(s). (Putting an -s there, because I don’t feel too convinced about the post from the girl whose account(s) were abused in the scam – I mean, she got her bank account, her Paypal account _and_ her eBay account hacked, and didn’t notice in three weeks?) Anyway, I knew that there was a risk of being tricked, but from my conversations with the seller I decided to let her (?) get the benefit of doubt, and “bought” two of the Dals that were offered up for adoption. I am not sure if I will get my money back, since my credit card isn’t really a CC, it’s a bank/debit card – it’s just Paypal which insists on treating it as a CC when it comes to fees. This was a calculated risk, and I can take the loss, but I do feel a bit sad about the two cuties (Cinnamoroll, Melize) who aren’t coming my way after all. Oh well – in April, perhaps?
To round it off in a positive vibe, here’s the Norwegian entry in this year’s Eurovision Song Contest, enjoy this firework of a performance!
Doll collector since the summer of 2008, never really played with dolls as a kid. Discovered Blythe and Pullip... (
Vispo is definitely a looker! Grats on getting him. :)
I hope you have a great time at the doll meetup. It sounds like a lot of fun. :)
Too bad about the dolly scam(s). Have you filed a dispute with Paypal to reverse the charge?
Also, thanks for sharing the video! It was fun to watch, he’s got a lot of energy!
Thanks, he’s really handsome! And I believe the meet will indeed be fun, I’ve already met a few of the girls one on one, and they are great people.
Paypal: yep, dispute and claim filed. The money is long gone from the abused account, though – transferred to an account which is since closed. Or so she says. *shrugs*
Yay, you got your Vispo! :3 I never realized his eyeliner area was so dark! <3 He looks sorta panda-ish :3 Sucks about the scam /: I hope you do get your money back! <3
The photo shows him a bit darker than in real life, but yeah, his eyeliner is more or less the same colour as Trunk’s and goes all the way around his eyes. Thanks for the support! :)
Wow that was awesome song! Who is the performer? I think I like it more than our entry:
Though I love Waldo’s People to bits :)
Sorry to hear about you being scammed, I hope you’ll at least get your money back.
ETA: Ah, *smacks forehead* just noticed it says the song title & perfomer on top of the video :D
Hehe, I am getting old or something, I found the Finnish entry a bit too much, too club/dance-ish and not really a _song_. I’ve actually not wathced the ESC in quite a few years (I believe I was 16 the last time..) – things have certainly changed a lot since then, with the English lyrics and all!
Alexander really did a great job- I never heard the song before last night but I’ve already been humming to it since I woke up. He really has a lot of energy and charm – and the show last night was actually very fun to watch (it was amazing that he won with so much!)
I’m sorry to hear about Cinnamaroll and Melize though:( Are you still planning on buying them?
I think my sister really looks forward to the convention as well, too bad I can’t come. Hope you’ll have lots of fun!
I am most definitely getting Cinnamoroll, she has been on my list for while now. Not too sure about Melize, I may be getting Lizbel – or the Angelic Pretty, if she doesn’t cost an arm and a leg – in stead. I don’t see myself getting too many Dals, though. Too bad you can’t make it to the meet, I was hoping to get a chance to see you face-to.face! I guess there will be lots of opportunities in the future, though, I don’t see either of us giving up on dolls anytime soon.. ;)
