My First Momoko!

Image
By
I didn't expect her until Thursday, but my Military Girl Momoko arrived!  She's adorable. But aren't they all? 


I like the stand but it's a bit cumbersome. Plus she doesn't even need it.

 I love that she comes with a tank top and panties. The suit will be going elsewhere. One day I'm going to have a customized Barbie airplane hanging from the ceiling of my fantasy doll room. So now the pilot has a nice outfit.

By the way, please notice that I've added white contact paper to the kitchen walls. That jacked up butcher block will be dealt with soon.
 It's yellow and blurry but I love this picture. Momokos have a great body.
 Flexy ankles too.
 Here she is with BFF Sooki, who pulling a Winehouse here. I was not prepared for the height difference, but it gives a little variety.
My only complaint is that her face is pretty boring. They all look alike. Another complaint is the mouth. Her mouth looks really strange. Cartoonish. Well, too cartoonish. I might have to hang out on Flickr and see what others might have done to improve on that.

And she looks really innocent. So I think I might make her a coke dealer or something.

I dunno, I like Momoko but I'll find a much better deal before buying again.

Okay, that is IT. I bought too many girls in quick succession and I haven't gotten time to process them all into the narrative. I need some backstories here!

smooches,
dani

    Oh you lucky duck! She is gorgeous! I so want Momoko B-girl. I love the dolls with the wild curly, get up and go hair.

    I like your idea for her, it just goes to show you never know what's behind an innocent face. LOL

    I like the big curls too but it always ends up getting kind of ratty on me. I'd love some styling tips! I had Byron Lars Sugar Barbie and I just wanted to take away the frizz with just a little boiling water. It totally gave her a texturizer...I had to rebody her a million times to love her again. You can see her in my Animals post at the beginning of February.

    Holy crap! Miss a few days & you miss a lot at your house, lol! You've doubled your doll collection! Military girl is awesome! I love her hair, and your idea about making her a coke dealer cracked me up. I really think she could pull that off! Congrats on all your kickass recent pick ups!

    I have 3 Momokos and don't want to go past that number. She's so sweet looking and I find that they all tend to look the same to me ( I said to me..LOL). I can't wait to see the drug dealer story develop. She's so sweet looking she's the least likely suspect :O)

    Congrats on your momoko!

    Momokos tend imo to have nice facial sculpts. I think that you should write her to have a devious character beneath that "so sweet and cool that butter wouldn't melt in her mouth" look.

    One word of warning (my personal experience with 2 momokos so far) is that the ankle joints & wrist joints can be weak & break easily so just be careful.

    Thanks Smidgey. If I can't get lighting perfect, I'm at least trying to compose a shot a bit better!

    Hahah Dolls4Moi, we are junkies!

    @ Erica: I am kind of a brute, so I'll be careful!

    I so want a momoko, just 1 or 2 will make me happy! This year will be a hunt for a momoko doll. I don't care which one I get, I just need one!

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

By
 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...

The Giveaway! And more.

You guys, let's talk. After I set up Grandville in the new house, I was sort of bored. I liked getting everyone unpacked but I really didn't feel like telling my stories, posing dolls, finding outfits for them. I didn't know where to take this doll thing next. And since my doll break at the end of last year, I've filled up my evenings with other things, especially Facebook where I remember I'm a writer again (in short blurbs). But what I don't feel like writing, are doll stories. I was at this doll crossroads, and already donating and trading away some good stuff when I became suddenly, surprisingly aware that I was (am) pregnant! How did this happen? Well I have a few ideas. I'm 37, I had been debating whether to have another. Sometimes, I swear, I'd be sitting with the girls and think I'm hearing a 3rd kid crying in the background. So that choice was made for me I'm very happy about it (and terrified). And the choice about dolls was made ...
