Dolltalk

Very old picture taken by me
I looove dolls ^^ Always have. But no, not like Baby Born (Never had any of those), Bratz (Never had any of those either) or Barbie (Did have a few of those though). No, I'm talking about collectable dolls. In my case specifically ball-jointed dolls and Pullips. At the moment I just have one BJD, but she's the only one of that model in the world and she was made specially for Kerli's Tea Party video, even though you don't really get to see her in it too well (But you can see her out in the far left side at 3:16)... I really wanted the Mad Hatter (The one with the big orange-red hair) and I also considered Frieda (Straight blue hair, eye patch, big crown), but they were sold almost immediately. The one I've got is called Bird In Hand, and I named her Akiko, meaning "autumn child" in japanese, partly because I recieved her in the fall. According to Paulette from Goodreau Dolls (The woman and company who designed and made them) she was one of Kerli's personal favorites, but I don't know if this is actually true. Not that I don't trust Paulette, I really do, she seems to be a truly honest and sweet person.

Also, which this post is supposed to be more about, I have two Pullips and one Taeyang, which is the male version of Pullip. The Pullip on the left is the model Lunatic Queen (named Kyoki, meaning "madness" in japanese, at least according to Google translate), the one on the right is the model Eos (named Adelaide, or "Ada", after Ada Lovelace and the character Ada from the Morganville Vampires series) with a new wig and eyechips. The Taeyang, in the middle, is the model Lunatic White Rabbit (named Damon, partly after the character Damon Salvatore from the Vampire Diaries, partly because I just really like that name and felt it was right).
Now, the reason why I'm telling you this, is because I'm making new changes to them, and I didn't want to post it all on my flickr. Here's a list of the changes I'm planning on making.

Kyoki
  • New wig, since her stock wig isn't in such good condition anymore, due to being transported a lot back and forth when I go to meets. I don't know what kind of wig I'm looking for for her though.
Ada
  • New wig, again. The green wig is not Eos' stock wig, I sold that to my friend Alberte, but I'm not as happy with this wig as I thought I would be. It's pretty, but it just doesn't give her the right look. Luckily, my friend Machi wants to buy it from me, when I find a new wig for Ada, so she's actually looking for blue wigs for her for me xD Although actually, I've been thinking of getting her a red or pink wig , and then get a blue wig for the Papin that I will (hopefully) soon purchase instead.
Damon
  • New wig, since I never really liked his stock. I'm already pretty certain which one. It looks kind of like his stock, but it's a lighter color and a lot shorter.
  • New eye chips. Planning on keeping them red though. I just want some others, since I think it looks like he's staring a bit too much.
And that's pretty much all. Now, if you're not a doll person, don't worry, I won't constantly post about dolls. If I really feel like I have to, I will, but don't count on it. But if you are interested in dolls, just in general or specifically mine, you can follow me a my doll-obsession on my flickr.

See you ♥
