So it's update time! I think everything's going to go ahead and get its own paragraph, and I'll throw in some pictures to make up for the lack of activity around here. It's partly because moving and family stuff and part laziness.
Anyway, news time. First off, I'm STILL waiting for my Littlefee. People are all saying "waiting three months is normal for Fairyland" and stuff like that, but I don't think they get that orders that were put in after mine are being shipped and I'm here with no idea where mine is. Fairyland supposedly said they'd ship out the Littlefees that are long overdue sometime this week (my order is one of those) but there's been nothing. No update for me, and no updates for anyone else. As far as Littlefee orders, that is. They're shooting out F60s and MNFs like nobody's business, but the smaller dolls are just sitting there in doll purgatory. I wonder if the other people who ordered in late August/early September are getting irritated that the end-of-September orders seem to be taking priority. Me complaining about it probably even irritates the people who've been waiting longer for dolls, who've also been put on hold for later people's orders...
I traded my DL Thea for a Luts Delf Lu-Wen girl. I was really bothered by how she came to me (literally just thrown in a box with the head bouncing around, to be sent across the country) but I cleaned up and restored her default faceup. It was really kind of a disaster... black smudges and chips everywhere. Nothing was permanently broken, though, so whatever. I was able to restore and add onto the faceup like I wanted. I've decided to keep the doll anyway and try to make her into the character Nana Osaki. This is a blurry phone picture, but I've even got her red dress in-progress. She's waiting on her actual wig, so until that comes in it's a ratty fur wig. I promise to work harder on pictures of her when she's more properly "Nana". I even gave her the ren flower tattoo before it got too cold to spray outside.
Also, I've been taking more pictures of Faust (Ringdoll Frankenstein) than of my other dolls. I don't normally bother to edit photos, but it's fun to play with greyscale and lighting when you can do shoots that faintly resemble old black and white horror movies. My other dolls don't look so nice or natural in greyscale, though maybe that's because they're not grey. I also like to play with shadows and contrast, and since he's a baldy his face isn't covered in hair. Here's some pic-spam because words.
And here's one of him trying out what it'd be like to live like a bat.
Also, tomorrow marks one year of having my little green Kiwi kid around. I don't know if I'll do anything special because trying to get her to pose is impossible, but might as well mention it I guess. That's probably not everything, but it's enough for now. I'll probably try to write again tomorrow, because I feel bad about letting this blog basically die.
