New Dolls! (UPDATED)

Like I could really concentrate on my studies when there's a Barbie Collector sale going on?

But first, my Mother's Day Gift from the Hubs:

So cute! I want all three of the flight attendant girls for my airplane project. I need the Re-ment in flight meals too. Meanwhile this lady is actually going to stay in the box for a while. Too many projects!

Then I read a post over at Van's Doll Treasures about a sale at Barbiecollector.com. So I hopped over there and went totally bonkers.

I got the Jonathan Adler pink couch. (yeah I have one, but it was $16.00!)
All three Pop Life dolls. The deal was unbelieveable!
And the Harley Davidson couple that I wanted but didn't want to pay big money for. Ends up being like $35.

All for about $89!!!

Best deals ever!!!

But I saw another doll I want. I'm fairly sure the Hubs is going to throttle me in my sleep.

Fear not, dear classmates, I did find a solution to my tree issue and I think it might turn out pretty awesomely. I should be done on or before the deadline...

smooches!
Dani

Update: Found this beaut for $34!!!

  1. I love the Monsieur Z line. I have a couple of the flight attendants. I may have swapped bodies with the babe in blue. Great presents. I did very little damage @ the BC.com sale.

  2. You just never know what is going to sell quickly when they offer something! I thought for sure you'd have to fight to the death to find an Adler sofa! Maybe the color threw everyone off?

New Goodies!

But first, some news: Projects: Still working on the studio space for Remi and Bailey. The Hubs came in and voiced what was in my head, "So where is that kid supposed to sleep? That's messed up. There's no room for him?"  The last thing I wanted in Grandville is a kid's room. I don't want this rated R world changing into something wholesome. Buuut, if there is to be a custody battle for Julian, I have to make the case, right? So on top of the studio space, I'll build a little room for the brat to use. Maybe I'll give it a fun theme or something. Space or sci-fi or something that doesn't involve sports. I'm also working on a space backdrop for Nymeria and her sister. Then I can finally introduce you. I decided to go with a sort of cheesy 60's sci fi movie thing. That's what inspired the Alurium Vaccarra anyway. So, a sort of intentionally cartoony backdrop. The last project for now is my high school. I wanted it to be a three-...

[in that spongebob narrator voice] Ten Years Later

 Well friends, it's been 10 years!  I'm not sure if any of my older friends and followers still blog or still read blogs.  I've been in the BJD hobby all this time a while it was satisfying and helped me to grow a lot as a dioramist, the call of the 1/6 scale dolls called back to me.   It was hard to make stories for BJDs because of the limited number of characters and sets.  While I no longer have a town to make stories with, nor (hardly) any of my original dolls, my new collection continues to grow and some of them are just itching to tell you all about themselves.  But these heauxs don't even have names except for two.  So lemme get on that... Returning to this hobby feels a bit lonely. My doll community was here in the blogosphere, my BJD community was through youtube and Facebook. Where are you, racy playscale collectors?  Let's get back together!  Instagram feels unsuitable for my needs. I'll see if I can direct traffic here. Who k...

Introducing Ayumi

I haven't been feeling particularly inspired with stories in Grandville, but their plastic lives are being led, with or without my story telling. And I have to practice my photography so instead I'm going to do a Cliff Notes if you will, of what has been going on in Grandville and who all these new characters are. First up, Ayumi. I might give her a new name at some point. I hate keeping the Integrity name but sometimes it just happens. She is a Korean supermodel who uses her funds to support her research as an astrophysicist. She got her Ph.D. at 18. This is Ayumi's house. Well, one of them. This is Ayumi's boyfriend of 10 months, Raj Nirvana. He's a yoga instructor. They have a harmonious relationship. Still, she wonders about that girl Marie. They seem to do a lot of talking after his yoga class. Ayumi loves hanging out with her girls. Nothing quite as fun as a day of shopping. Claire sighs, "How weird to have a bank account. ...
