Psht Dolly Diets are for the weak.. and 365 Doll Project Battle Report

So I was supposed to be on a dolly diet that this month, it of course has ended in spectacular failure. How spectacular a failure?
Madness, Anarchy and Mayhem
I only had one Noir two weeks ago. It all started out so innocently this month by ordering a Melissa to go along with my Bonita preorder.Then of course Pullipstyle had a damaged Tiphonia so she got ordered as well… Then I met with Requiemart and well Nelliel and Streak (aka Arkham Asylum Harley Quinn) were planned purchases so they really don’t count, right? I bought three dolls including Noir #2 but they were immediately confiscated and put up as Christmas gifts. I sold my Afternoon to somewhat keep things an even keel but it didn’t stop there… I found a Jupi (Vesper Rose) and a My Melody for sale at really good prices both in a need of just a little tender loving care. Then I found some other dolls in need of some intense tender loving care including an armless, legless Naomi with a hellish haircut, a baity Lala and a baity Alte. Then the person I bought Jupi and My Melody from put her Fourrure and Panda up for sale. So yes, there were some extreme dolly diet failures this month ^^;

365 Doll Project #14

The last few weeks have been a blur of doll activity ^^; I have also been very busy keeping up with the 365 doll project. This past week, I had two additional members of the rainbow mafia show up Fiction as pictured below as well as a NRFB Papin I will debox at my leisure.

Officially 100 days into my 365 Doll Project

100 Days ago I decided to embark on a bit of madness and do a 365 photo project based solely around my doll collection, I don’t actually own 365 dolls but the idea is to keep going until I run out of dolls. I also decided to share my doll’s profiles for the first time and well most of them are a bit demented (ex-ninja turned tabloid photographer – yep, we have one!). Although I haven’t been updating the blog with the goings on of my 365 doll project it has still been progressing. As I hit officially hit 100 dolls today I decided to make a collage and update with all the profiles I haven’t posted here already.

365 Doll Project Part 12

Last week started out with the Animadness meet. I went chatted with fellow collectors ended up coming home with more stuff than I left with (story of my life) and had a grand old time. Thanks to Requiemart I feel like I myself attended Puddle definitely need to get my stuff inline so I can attend next year. New arrivals this week include a Magnificent Mile J-doll (from the aforementioned awesomeness that is Requiemart) as well as my Dollfie Dream Sakura who I had been waiting for since May. I love having the security of a preorder through Volks but I hate how long the wait was.

Last 365 Doll project post until next week, I promise! Actually going to try and blog some anime figures soon as I have a few that arrived recently just waiting to be opened.

365 Doll Project Part 11

Still trying to make up for lost time ^^; Sorry I have been neglected these weekly posts.
Clem and Juniper
Not really that much of note happened this week other than the earth shattering news that Papin has finally sold out (as well as Veritas and Nero) it seems Nina will be the next one going into archive. On the one hand it does kind of sadden me but at the same time there is only a finite number of Papins in the world and I knew it was bound to happen eventually. I fear I will be facing enormous pressure to break up my rainbow crew but I have no plans now or ever to sell any of Papins so don’t bother asking.  The only other major noteworthy thing is that I discovered I owned the first Happy Birthday Couple and went to the Animadness meet.

365 Doll Project Part 10

Sorry this is so late, I was on vacation during most of this particular week so a good portion of the dolls of the day are actually mini pullips as I could fit a lot more of them into my suitcase ^^;
Meet the new girls: Amy & Leela
The only thing that was really of note, other than my being on vacation is the arrival of Amy and Leela. I traded my Enchanted Petal blythe for them. I named them after characters on Futurama as I am a huge fan of the show and the names just seemed to suit them so perfectly.

365 Doll Project Part 9

Again a week where things should have been quiet but they were decidedly not. I preordered Bonita from Pullipstyle (by the way they were able to drop the price an additional $15 and refunded everyone that had already ordered her, PS is a class act). I successfully rehomed my Enchanted Petal Blythe, she had been on the market for a while with no reasonable offers and someone I knew had been wanting their first blythe so we worked out a trade;  I am getting a set of nude/bald Cosmic Twins Jupi and Mercu for my blythe. I am very happy that my EP has found a new loving home and am also looking to my own new additions. I also got in a new wig as well as a custom outfit by Angelberries, the outfit was originally commissioned by someone else as an upsized version of little dal Neiryo’s stock but once I got my hands on it I decided to use it for Dr.Skittles here.
Dr. Skittles

And a funny little side story, I live in a converted historical building it’s an awesome apartment and I love it. My neighbors seem nice enough but due to ventilation, I am very aware they are heavy smokers and not of tobacco. I left my camera in my car a few days ago when I went to get it, my neighbors were on the back porch and gave me a large metal spider as they were terrified of it. They were absolutely petrified of the spider, even though it was very much metal and not real, now if it was a real spider that size…I would probably faint but to be afraid of a toy spider makes wonder how much they had smoked that evening. Free metal spiders don’t come along every day so of course I actually took my gift of the metal spider and promptly photographed dolls on it.
I can has spider?

Just a note next week’s post is going to be extremely late, I am going to be away and I sincerely doubt I will have any internet access while I am away. My laptop is currently out for repairs still (it’s been a bloody month) and while I am taking along a laptop it runs Windows 2000 with 192 mb of RAM I am not sure what if any type of connection I will be able to establish with it, oh and it appears the keyboard is out on it as well >_< My plan for the doll of the day is to take all of the pictures as normal (I am bringing along a bag full of mini pullips/dals) but I will probably not be able to upload them until my return.

365 Doll Project Part 8

Part 8 of my 365 doll project, I have done over 50 dolls so far and I think I am still going pretty strong. Next week will be a major challenge, I will be on somewhat of a vacation and I may not have internet access during it but my plan is to bring a number of mini pullips/dals with me and upload them when I get home if need be.
Adventure
I am participating in Dalicious again this cycle with my Dal Papin, Tangerine. Last week’s theme was Adventure so I decided to have Tangerine go on a space adventure and fight against an evil space squid, I am ridiculously happy with how the actual photo turned out.
EEEEEEEE!
Another interesting photo I took unrelated to my 365 project was a group shot of all my byuls, my Lilith Akasha is scary she scares all the other byuls.

365 Doll Project Part 7

I’m going on a self-imposed dolly diet after last week’s indulgences. I had been bad most of the month in actuality splurging on dolls quite a bit but last week took the cake. Last week I ended up getting two surprise girls as gifts, namely an Assa and a Lan Ake they were unexpected but were quickly welcomed into the fold. Then I got a lot carried away myself…
Dolly diet time!
I ended up getting five dolls in the mail on Saturday >_< Eos 2.0 and Lilith arrived from Pullipstyle, a used Papin and I kind of splurged and bought a second Jouet and somehow tossed a Dumbo Byul in the cart at the same time.
