I will confess that I bought the Draculaura/Clawd set for those shoes.  I didn’t really need Draculaura, and I’m assuming that sooner or later another Clawd would have been released who didn’t have such a terrible, terrible outfit.  But… those shoes… Clearly I have something of a shoe problem.  It’s ok.  I admit it.  But [...]

First topic request!  I thought I had already done this, but turns out nope.  I just did it on flickr… ahahahaha. While I have chronicled the various extreme customization projects I’ve done, I am not as good at chronicling the mundane.  Sand a face off, slap some paint on there, add eyes… done!   Eventually.  Several [...]

I heard once that all comedians fall into two categories: ones who think they are much funnier than they actually are and ones who think they are not nearly as funny as they are. I mention this because I’m not especially talkative, especially online.  If I have something useful to add, I will.  If I [...]

There is a pretty long list of dolls that need a bit of work in All My Pullips. Ash and some other dolls just need some maintenance to maintain their looks and some dolls I get itchy customizing fingers when I look at and want to do over. OH NO! Yes, I hear the protests. [...]

I’ve decided to migrate over to Etsy from Ebay. Most of my auctions generally had BINs and Etsy doesn’t seem to have the same problem with people buying things and never paying that I’ve had with Ebay since sellers stopped being able to leave feedback. I haven’t made a banner yet, because I’m really no [...]

(part 1 because I haven’t made her an outfit yet) The Animadness folks asked me to make them another custom, though this one is neither anime nor store mascot related.  This time it’s pin-up icon Bettie Page. 

I really like monster high dolls. Know what I like most? The shoes. OH MY GOD THE SHOES. Unfortunately, to get the shoes, I have to get the dolls. And then I have all these monster high dolls lying around, and I’m trying really, really hard to only have one of each doll. Therefore: CUSTOMIZING [...]

Ash Nero (the doll type being Nero) was my first doll.  I did order her at the same time as Panda, but I had been staring at Pullips for around 6 months before I could convince myself that I, an adult, wanted a doll when I was never a doll person even when I was [...]

I don’t do realism in pullips very often since I’ve notices a reverse correlation between personality and realism, and I always choose personality. Zsa Zsa has more realism than usual, but keeps a healthy dose of attitude and style, no matter what she’s wearing

The Pullip/Dal minis are all right, but the bodies are absurdly un-flexible and prone to breaking. I hate dealing with them, which is why the minis have been minimized in All My Pullips. Recently, Obitsu came out with a 11cm body, roughy the same size as a mini, but in kid proportions. Naturally, I bought [...]
