I had been in a kind of pullip funk, for the first time ever since I started collecting them in late March 2007. I think it was a combination of an overwhelming number of them overall (over 180 O_o) and the fact that I didn’t really care for many of the new releases (Kuroshitsuji/Neo Angelique) coupled with the entire Lala incident (I discovered how far I am willing to go to get a pullip and it scared me) kind of made me hesitate to get more. The fact that my dolls are in a state of utter chaos right now doesn’t help, I need to set them back up but because of their sheer numbers it is a bit of a daunting task not to mention the accessories T_T (I have three or four garbage bags full of doll clothes/furniture/ re-ment that currently need to be sorted and put away in their correct container).

Before today I hadn’t even logged in on any of the main pullip forums in a few weeks (I still checked in at Requiemart’s forum though). I had been trying to force myself back into pullips but the harder I pushed the more I lost interest in them, I even sent out a dal to be customized hoping that would spark interest again (even that failed although I do not regret because my custom idea still rocks). Oddly Littlest Pet Shop seems to be what brought me back into the fold so to speak. I was in the doll aisle about a week or so back looking for new doll clothes hoping something would spark my interest (nothing did T_T) I turned around and I seen a Littlest Pet Shop flamingo out of the corner of my eye. I adore flamingos so of course I caved and purchased immiedately. Littlest Pet Shop animals just seem to fit as pets for pullips  really well as they both have overly large heads for such small bodies.

Valentine, the flamingo was adopted by Clementine (both of their names come from the song Revenga by System of a Down). Clementine is my favorite pullip so generally speaking I tend to spoil her even going to such great lengths as to reunite her with her “twin” sister (I originally bought Clem from a pullip collector in Isreal who had Papin twins- the other one was purchased by a girl in Canada and I bought her from her over a year later literally because she used to be her twin sister).

I have since decided all members of the rainbow mafia should have a pet that suits their personality..

This is not a good sign.. on the bright side, they have reignited my interest is pullips, I even bought myself a Mir today
