Just not yet. :P

Little Jouet's tracking number finally started to work, but she seems to be moving as slow as possible. Generally packages do most of their moving during the earlier part of the day, so by the mid-morning or afternoon they are set. For some reason though Jouet moved this afternoon and remains about two towns over. I hope to get up early and find that her tracking has updated and I can pick her up in the AM, but we'll see.

Finally got Kaleb back together after he was in pieces for some eye issues. Arte stole his springs (for his eyelids) because hers were too old and at the time I was playing with her more. Now he has his eyes back (which Arte also stole for a time) and is all set. I was putting him on the shelf with Arte and Kat and I realized he didn't have his Chain of Anubis. I often joke that Kaleb is the strongest of my dolly characters and has the most frequently voiced "opinions." All I could hear was his voice in my head saying "You lost the chain of Anubis?!" Thankfully I found it and dolly Armageddon was averted.

I do have some new pictures of Arte to upload as well, but I currently can't find my camera cord...so perhaps there will be shots of Arte and Jouet tomorrow.

Packages, boxes, and bags.

Two of the packages arrived yesterday, containing a lovely Barbie bed for Arte and two pairs of fuzzy boots. For right now the bed's going into storage as I don't have a place for it in my current situation, but the boots are on her feet and look great. They need a little coaxing to fit just right, but with a pair of socks they work well.

No updates on my little Jouet yet. :( For some reason they shipped her through the USPS instead of Fedex as they normally do (and I prefer). I've been checking tracking but still nothing. Oh where oh where is my little Jouet?

Kat has settled in to my dolly collection quite nicely. I washed her hair for the second time today and I think I finally got out all the gunk. She's currently borrowing some stock Hellcat Punks clothes from both Maggie and Kaleb (i.e. Phoebe and Kain). I think I'm going to remove her tail from the back of her skirt and put it on elastic or something similar as it's so cute I don't want her to be without it.

I actually go back to school tomorrow, but I hope the week is also filled with packages arriving. Two new pairs of shoes, a bed, and some stock outfits for Arte. More pictures to come soon too. :)

Cleaned out my camera and look what I found.

A Purrrfect New Adition

I decided to take a trip today to my local comic/anime store. I hadn't been to it in years, and was curious to see what they had. So Arte and I ate lunch and headed off to the city. Overall it wasn't bad, but definitely not what it used to be. Now it mostly caters to the COM* of the community, and really doesn't have the selection I used to love. One good point however was that I stumbled on their collection of Bleeding Edge Goth dolls and brought one of my very own home!

NRFB, but not for long!

Introducing Katerina Moreau.

Kat and Arte.

Pretty eyes... :) I'm very pleased with her overall. Right now she's visiting the "salon" (getting all the gunk out of her hair and conditioning it). I think my favorite part is that she's kind of like a mini me doll. I go by Kat and have black hair (no green eyes though), and am covered in dog/wolf tattoos. This Kat is kind of like a fun little counterpart, and let me just say she is even more beautiful in real life. I'm happy with her size too because it means she will be able to be part of Arte's world. One of Arte's gothic friends I think, more details to come.

New Doll er...Dal

I was browsing through PullipStyle the other day as I do sometimes when I'm feeling dangerous...and I spotted the most adorable little Dal. I'm not super fond of the minis in general, but there are a few that I plan to own. Well really two, this one and Little Noir. I had kind of a funky week and decided to splurge and purchase the little one as she's not a lot of money.

Isn't she cute? She's a mini version of a very limited and rare Dal that was only sold at the Doll Carnival. I'm not about to pay $800+ to own the original (ebay prices...eek), and her size is just perfect for tooling around town with me.

It has however made me stop and think about the fact that all my female Pullips have pink eyes of some sort. Maggie is a Phoebe who has stock pink chips, and I just rechipped Arte (Nero) into some pink Coolcat chips with a black foil backing. Kaleb has red chips so he's different, but that's it. I know neither Butler (future Taeyang) nor Marguerite (future Pullip) will have pink chips, so that at least is reassuring.

In comparison I'm only mildly addicted.

I am the only dolly person in my family/group of friends, so more often than not I hear "OMG you have so many dolls!" While at times it may seem that way, it's not really the case. Currently I have three Pullips* and five bjds. I'm in the midst of phasing the bjds out some since they have turned out to be less my thing (although still fun), but I will be keeping some. So I have basically three active dolls that I currently take pictures of and go with me places. There are two more Dals on layaway currently, but they're special customs, and I will be getting a Little Dal sometime next week.

That being said, I do have a definite number of Pullips I think I'd like to own. I have a hard time owning dolls without story lines, and currently Kaleb has taken over any storyline my dolls will have. He's a little overpowering. :P As such I believe I will be getting one more Taeyang, and another Pullip. I do like the Taeyang's character but not as much the Pullip's, so we'll see. She is just there for the storyline (for photostories) and I'm not sure I want to spend the money if that's the case. So that means four Pullips* plus the customs and the mini.

Not enough that I need to build another room or anything, but the collection is growing.

*I put all the dolls under the Pullip name here, so my Taeyang and Dal are there too.
