Diary Adventure

Dear Diary,

Lati is about to release a new line of limited dolls (they do this around five times a year, then follow it with an order period for normal dolls). They're sweets themed and really darn cute. While I have been mentally assuring myself that I only want boys, in any size, from now on, two girls from this release really caught my eye.

One is Jia. She's a little asian looking, and I love that. She comes in tan and has a red/orange color scheme. I love Lati's tan, too. My favorite tiny-sized doll currently is Lati tan. The other is Sophie. I already have a Sophie, but she's in their old normal-skin, which is basically a mellow yellow. This new one is in pink and has a strawberry themed outfit. I'm so screwed because with all the extras the two of them will run me just over a thousand dollars. That's right. One grand for two dolls smaller than a pencil pouch.

My dilemma is not really whether I am willing to fork over the money. I am. The question is am I willing to sacrifice a potential trip to Japan this summer to visit my friend who will be studying abroad? Five hundred dollars might be the breaking point. I don't know if I will be able to save up enough to pay for my airfare, food, souvenirs and hotel with only a couple of months to go. I'm so screwed.

Love,
Nat

Faceup Adventure (Leekeworld Adolf)

Since this is the first Faceup Adventure, I'll give a brief rundown. A faceup is a cross between make-up and face. It refers to the process of painting a doll's face so that it looks real/in character. There are those that do realistic faceups, fantasy faceups, somewhere in between,or anything above and beyond. I'll just provide some pictures and the company + sculpt name of my faceup victims. I do them for practice. None are commissioned heehee.

Ok, this one is a LeekeWorld Adolf head. This one turned out silly looking because of the red on his cheeks. I think he looks like a cute raccoon though...

Introduction: Hello, What's Your Name?

Hi,

My name is Nat and I am heavily involved in the BJD hobby. I've been with the hobby for about three years now and was introduced to it through our local convention Otakon. I love my babies and this blog is here to allow me to post my silly adventures with my kiddos and maybe post their stories or something. I don't really do blogs, if you can't tell.

My doll family primarily consists of lati yellow/pukifee sized dolls even though I started with an SD sized doll (Migidoll Miho) and my second doll was a YoSD (AngellStudio Kimi). The total number of dolls I hold in my house currently is seven and two floating SD-sized heads. I will go into these later and post a family portrait, I think. I hope.

It was nice meeting you and I hope you enjoy our adventures together.

Sincerely,

Nat
