New face up!

I repainted Uri last night, after he spent a few days with no face.  I really like this new look, though I may be making a slight modification and resealing part of it.  It's not perfect, but it's all part of the process. His eyes are very similar to a way I've been doing my own eye make up lately, which is sort of ganguro inspired, somewhat panda, and all random. :)

16). What is your favorite item of dolly clothing?

I think I have too many to pick one favorite, but here are a few I really like.

This outfit shows two favorite items, the new sweatshirt I referenced in the last post (which I've been wanting forever), and my favorite pair of dolly jeans.  They fit Uri perfectly, and are really nicely detailed.

This shirt is actually Uri's as well, but I don't have a good shot of him wearing it.  It's a copy of a shirt I have, so when we wear them we match.

This was a dress I got off a doll at Goodwill.  Unfortunately the doll was damaged, but she was beautiful.  She was actually made by a local doll maker, and her entire outfit is handmade.  There is an underskirt/petticoat and little bloomers under there as well.  Extremely detailed, and really beautiful.

15). Can any of your crew stand on their head?

Alas, no.  I almost got Liam (Vols YoSD Yuki) to do it once, but he's not quite balanced enough to do so.  I wouldn't even dream of trying it with any of my other guys.  The larger ones are lovely, but they aren't posing kings by any stretch of the imagination.

14). What does your family think of your dolls?

My sister is somewhat curious and mostly accepting of them.  She'll refer to them by name more often than not, and if she finds something doll-sized will bring it home.  She would never own one herself, but she deals with Uri and the others pretty well.

My mother on the other hand is positively scared of them.  She actually told me once that she's afraid they're going to come to life and kill her in her sleep.  No joke.  She thinks they're creepy, and can't stand their "soulless eyes."

BJD Owner Achievement Unlocked!

Aka Kat gets something she's always wanted for her dolls.

I've been seeing this Nine9Style hoodie on dolls since I got into the hobby, and I think that's half of why I wanted one.  Similar to the fer, it's just a cool item I've seen on a number of dolls I really liked.  Plus, look at that detail!  But I've never bought one, mostly because it rarely shows up in the marketplace, and I didn't want to finagle getting it from the store directly.  But this one showed up on Tumblr the other day and I couldn't resist.

13). Have you ever had a floating head?  What about a headless body?  What do you think you would do if you had either?

I have a floating, and in fact he's been with me forever.  He was one of the first doll parts I bought when I initially joined the hobby, and I've never given him up.  Unfortunately I don't have any pictures, but he is a Fairyland MNF vampire elf Shiwoo head.  I have him in dolly storage, and have for a while.  I've just never kept a body that worked for him, at least not yet.

I have never had a headless body, and I can't imagine ever getting one unless it was very temporary.

12). Dollie shoes!  Show us how many you have!

For someone who loves her own shoes very much, I have surprisingly few doll shoes.  In fact, Uri really only has two pairs he wears somewhat regularly.

He has this pair of pseudo converse in black.

And my very favorite boots of his, the super goth platforms.

Arashi is the only other one with nice shoes, but they are pretty awesome.  They are sort of like New Rock boots, and this pair has red metallic flames.  Some of my favorite shoes, dolly or otherwise.
