My Surprise! Photo heavy.

Yay, she's here!



I'm sad to say that I'm disappointed. Don't get me wrong. She's as gorgeous as I imagined and has a naughty sort of innocence that I hoped for but didn't expect.

BUUUT:

Take a look at the wings. Total hot glue mess. I can't even figure out how they attach to her.
The cross on my coffin purse is totally scratched up:


The spiked bracelets? Are you kidding? My Liv doll spiked bracelet is better:

You know for the money, these boots should have been leather-like. Even the Pop Life girls have leatherish boots:



Like I said, no idea how to work the stand. There's a half moon piece and a stick right? So I stick the crescent on the stick and this is what it looks like:


And her two tops, a net black top and a red bustier have velcro closures! How dare you! A $150 doll?

Oh and when you hold her by the lower leg, she pulls a Matrix:


But still all in all, I love her and I'm glad I didn't wait for a nude figure to appear on Ebay. I would have missed out on that cute skirt.

I can't wait to redress her and give her a proper photoshoot!

smooches,
dani

    OMG, I would be disappointed too. That's EXACTLY what happens to my Jasper when I hold her by her lower legs..."Trinity, Help!" LOL...Her right wrist also doesn't "click" all the way in. It seems snug but it's still a disappointment. But I keep telling myself I only paid $20 for her and she is beautiful, so I put her on a LIV body and I'm actually happier.

    Congrats though, she is beautiful.

    Thanks! Maybe she'll get a new body one day. My Jasper's hands were stained too. I really like to look at a doll in person before buying. I wish I lived near some distributors!

    Congrats on getting Simi!! I knew she was bound to be your surprise (you drooled soooooo much over her it was a foregone conclusion!!)

    Hope you have fun working her over. And yea, Integrity's value for money/detail for the higher priced dolls is slipping IMO

Introducing Nymeria and the Alurium Vaccarra

By
Ever have a couple of days off Facebook and though you wonder what happened to your friends over the long weekend, you can help feeling a little peaceful? That's how I feel in my week of staying off the blogs and forums and various sites. But I missed a lot! So many cool posts! It's going to take a while to dig myself out. One must wonder, did my creative spurt have something to do with not being all over the web looking at what everyone else is doing? Anyway let's get to it. So on my birthday, my three Stardolls arrived! Aside from the outfit, that Paris one was not cute. I dunno, she's too boring looking. But Iris was THRILLED that she got a new, dressed doll. Well for a few minutes anyway. Did you know that they can't bend their legs? Like they can't sit down? Terrible. Anyway, the other two were great! Inspiring. Meet Valentina. A Columbiana who restores classic cars. She was very happy with a Liv body. She might be Nadia's next girlfriend, w...

Zee Gypsies!

By
I'm home today, the kids are at school (half day), so I decided to take some pictures with my little window of time. I rarely show the gypsies and one of you guys requested it, so here they are! "Hello, I am Carmen Kirpachi. Welcome to our home." "This is my husband Milosh." "Hallo."  "This is my brother, Franco. While his gaje girlfriend Josephine is in Paris, he's spending a lot more time with us." "Excuse me, I have to put some more wood in the stove so I can get dinner started." "My goat stew is Milosh's favorite but we need to get the pot hot first." "This is my living area, also known as Franco's bedroom. But we don't mind. The Romany love having family around." "Milosh says I drive like a fugitive so he doesn't let me drive very often." "But sometimes I put a glamour on him and he forgets how much he hates my driving." ...

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-...
