dollshe...

i'm sure by now everyone has heard about how dollshe is doing yet another sale - this time as a staged final sale of his current sculpts. it's up to interpretation what it means: the end of dollshe? new sculpts and discontinuation of the current line? discontinuation of the current line, but possibly a return of the old "temporarily discontinued" sculpts? an entire revamp? who knows, dollshe is capricious. all i know is that i am finally getting one of my dream dolls: van.

the worst part is when you name them...

seriously, it is... >_<

since fairyland released their tan c-lines i've wanted a rou in that particular color - even said it when those two were released. i want him to go along with dante. now, today, i've been playing with her and taking some photos since i finally have some c-line clothing (besides underwear and her default outfit), and i just thought up what his name would be. big mistake since now i'm gonna be waiting and hoping that they bring them back and do something special where they offer rou in tan. *sigh* that or i'll break down and get one in ws and have him dyed...which could fail miserably.

oh, his name you ask? it would be spiro faustus.

...why yes, i AM a huge nerd... >_>

come back to me

just wanted to write a quick little post...life has been super busy this past month! first was sakura-con, then starting a new job, plus moving to a temporary apartment at the same time! i'm nearly done moving after two weeks...*sigh* had to get things fixed that they left undone, then actually move. now i'm down to odds and ends, my bed, and fridge. the fridge in the temp apartment makes a horrible rattling noise, so they were supposed to get rid of it today and move the fridge from my apartment in...yeah, didn't happen. >_< the building manager is gonna be so happy when i tell her monday...

anyway. the other exciting news is that i received two boxes from korea today! i received my iple clothing order a month ahead of what i expected and a rather large box from soom. two weeks after i paid off victoria, they shipped her out! :D she's a bronze vesuvia! <3 soooooooo happy to have her! plus the bronze will indeed work beautifully for what i have planned. oh, on top of that, she has all three sets of feet! complete surprise since soom is only sending the fantasy parts with the special order dolls. by that logic and what i gather they have said, she should have only had the partial feet and scorpion high heel shoes. instead i was so happy to find that she had those as well as both high heel and flat feet! :D yay!!! now i can spend a fortune on shoes!!!! XD

on ouat theories

so there are a bunch of ouat theories out there that i’ve been reading since the last episode that seem to be focusing on rumplestiltskin knowing something more than someone normally would, on the potions being either part of the curse or not, and on snow and charming being the key in that their true love is what rumple was able to bottle. there’s also the timeline someone put together of the eps in chronological order according to the fairytale storyline (sorry, forgot where it is as i saw it right after skin deep). the point was made that in the chronological story rumple becomes more miserable and more of an alcoholic as the story progresses. i don’t generally put out my own theories on things, but i’ve been thinking a lot about these things…

photographic annoyances

so i was just looking at some threads on doa and, in a couple of them, people were talking about their photography. one person said their photos weren't "professional" and apologized. i assume that the reasoning is that the photos have no backdrop or setting aside from the kitchen table, etc. do people not realize that their photos aren't actually professional unless they are themselves a professional photographer? do people not realize that professional means that it is your profession? your job? seriously. snapshots are okay when you just want to show something off. photography is a hobby for most people. within the bjd hobby it is an attendant hobby. you don't have to take pro style shots. hell, most of the photos that people think of as professional aren't really all that close in my opinion.
