Superhappyfuntimes!

Not dolly related, but opened one of my birthday presents early today, from my boyfriend.
Irregular choice shoes, ohmygod, they're so beautiful! Best present ever, god!

drool

They've stolen my sole. Haha, pun ;)

Check out that heel - 4.25 inches 

The bottom is so beautiful on these shoes, look at the detail






They are SO AMAZING. Practically hyperventilating. Love them just a little bit.
In other great news, I've put a deposit down on crab apple :)

Crabby

After chatting to a lovely lady on the Dolly Adoption page on Facebook, look who might be coming to live with me!


This is Crab Apple - She's a moody blythe/clone custom, with a pout and an attitude. She has a takara body, and a clone head.

I think I'm in love with her already. She has so much character. Fingers crossed I'll raise the money and she'll be with me soon.

Dolly News!


I just surprised myself by winning an ebay auction for a living dead doll. For cheaps! Yaya. 
The doll I was bidding on was Dottie Rose - with her little pet poodle, Hun. She's like new with her coffin box. Here's a photo -



Interestingly, Dottie comes with or without eyebrows, and mine has the adorable eyebrows, which make her look very grumpy. I have a feeling the dottie with brows is even more rare than usual Living Dead dolls, as I could hardly find any photos of her, and no stock photos at all. I also found out that you can't buy Dottie new anymore. Needless to say, I'm very excited to get her, hopefully around my birthday, which is wednesday! :)

OOAK custom bratz hybrid For Sale!

Hello :) Up for adoption is one of my first customs, a modern geisha doll.This doll is a ooak bratz/my scene hybrid. I have carved, sanded and repainted her face. I've also treated and styled her hair, added dreaded pink and blonde synthetic hair and entwined small flowers into her hair, which are inlaid with swarvoski crystals. 
As she is a custom, and she's my first one, she may have some faults, and her paint job isn't the best, but she's still exotic and pretty. 
I'm asking for £8 + Shipping costs, and she'll be shipped in a stock myscene outfit, seen in the photos.

a little dress...

I got bored with Ouli's dress, so I decided to make her a quick DIY one, I haven't actually stitched anything, this is just a sneaky little wrap around.


Flowers?




Dress



Meanwhile, my laptop/netbook appeared to break as I was taking these photos - the screen won't turn on, it's all black, and it won't switch off at all. Bad bad news. So I'm using the boyfriend's computer. I really can't afford to buy a new laptop, not at the moment, so I have no idea what I'm going to do. Hopefully it'll fix itself soon. 

Cute Little Things

The present I ordered for my boyfriend arrived this morning, an original Punk Troll Doll. Look at it!

OH

Happy boyfriend :)

You and me, we aren't so different

Can I have your guitar please..?
It was my day off work today, so we went for lunch and then went to the carboot. I was excited hoping I'd find some dolls, or clothes...but no. Alex (my boyfriend) managed to find himself a toy though...

This shit is rad!


It's a littlew plug in game thingymajigger. Otherwise known as a 'namco' - it's an old school game which  you plug into the tv - with pacman etc. He's already got one, but he wanted this one too (:


Ouli loves her time in front of the camera, so wanted to show off some of the things we found in my craft box






It almost fits, almost!



More photos to come shortly!

Birthday/Tangkou/Hepburn appreciation post

In other news, it's my birthday in..six days (wednesday) - I didn't realise this until yesterday. I was convinced my birthday wasn't for weeks. August is creeping up on me.
I don't think I'm going to get to see any of my friends, mainly because they are either a) working or b) lazy. I know my boyfriend will plan something nice though.

Presentwise - I'm hoping for books and dolls. No idea if that'll happen though. I can no longer get Nicky Lad, so I'm not sure what the chances of me getting a different Blythe are. Someone may buy me a Tangkou doll, I think they're pretty cute. I'm particularly excited about the Holly Golightly limited edition doll that is available for pre-order soon.

Here are the promo photos:
Her hair is much too dark to match Holly's


love the outfit

Can't decide if this is creepy or cool...

You can pre-order your Holly Golightly Tangou from here - Tangkou UK


I like this doll because, quite frankly, I like all things Audrey. Proud owner of the Audrey Hepburn best movies of all time collection ;) I mean, the woman was multi-lingual, a charity worker, singer, dancer and she had impeccable style, aha. What's not to love?


So in theory, I love this doll. I know if I do get Tangkou's Holly, I'll love her. She's gorgeous. But when we compare her to the real Holly:
Well, no one can be quite as classy as her.





Operetta & the Typewriter

Introducing Operetta, the typewriter series.


Does my bum look big in this?

Oh no  you didn't!


vogue!


I look like I'm quoting Shakespeare, right?

Oh, I feel all faint!


nope...jazz hands!



I'm pretty sure this looks intelligent.



My hair is full of secrets!

Am I sultry yet?

...now I really feel dizzy.

God damn hair, stop growing!
