In my great tradition of cutting edge reporting, I bring you the Volks Doll Party in NYC. I did have my camera this time, but my pictures generally sucked so I will spare you blurry pictures of things you have undoubtedly seen elsewhere.
I'm so slow today. I don't know what my problem is, I just want to inch around. I watched TV last night -- I think that sucks my life force out. It was all so good though!
Anway, I had my first real Dolly Freak Out last night. The bad kind.
I decided it was about time I sew something new for Pigeon and fix her loose wing and while she was on my work table or lap or when the wind blew the wrong way or something, the paint on her teeny lip chipped. I had my goddamnfuckohshit moment and moved on, realizing it was about time I made her mine anyway, so I fixed her lip and sealed the rest of her face, blushed her a bit, and reglued her wings (I loosened the second one to reglue that too, it was only a matter of time...) I didn't change anything because her face is perfect as is and this morning, even in full light, I really don't think you can tell where it happened. Her wings have 2 small scratches on them too, which I've only recently noticed but I think may have happened anytime since I got her. There's no fixing them without redoing the color on her wings and I'm not about to do that... even angels can be ragamuffins. She really is the only doll I have that I feel this way about just because she is so so special, but really, she's mine and I should just get over it.
I've been sick. With a head cold that has me somewhat loopy, so my sentence structure is off.
Anway, I feel like dolly rambling into the LJ land. First off, I've fallen for a girl. Well, a head. Ciel, who has come out of nowhere and shaken my resolve to, you know, never ever get another girl. I think she would just be perfectly lovely on Pia's body. Though I am bad at body sharing, I really wouldn't want another big full-time gal and I don't think Pia would mind. I'm still unsure, but that's easy since she hasn't actually gone on sale yet...
I'm also doing my usual waffling about another boy. It probably won't happen for a long while. I'm stuck on R Asiam, though I think I will give Doll in Mind time to resolve their manufacturing issues. I'm actually not all that daunted by the thought of him being imperfect, but I am lazy about building my boy wardrobe, so it might be best I wait.
As for the dolls that I actually do own, we've gotten a few new wigs and a shoe here and there. I took a few pictures, with the intent of showing some relative sizes,
