For the things that never make any sense! XD

Why you get delivery confirmation- 4 days ago the post office told Ms Late Payment to get her books.

Makes me wonder if she doesn't pick them up and they come back to me if I get to keep her money and resell them?

She might be like me and can only get there one day of the week. I can only get to the Post Office on Saturday unless I take time off at work.

Here's to hoping so. She's been enough fun.

Back from a fairly grueling road trip. Citibank decided to lower the limit on the card I was using for my hotel room while I was on the road (thankfully, it was an emergency back up) so that will be paid off, closed and shredded ASAP. Bastards....

Anyway, I'm still pretty tired, I have to spend the next few days playing "catch up" and for some weird reason, I'm awake at 4:30 AM.

It used to be that when I was at this particular bjd shoplet (small section of cosplay shop), the bjds were always crying out to go home with me (in particular Dollzone LE Shoyu nekomimi) and that my own dolls are making a lot of noise to drown them out.

And today with only Big Chun my 1/6 in the bag, the bjds were very quiet and Shoyu was no where in sight (or she turn into a real life cat that lives in the shop). My own doll was quiet. I get this feeling they know Megu -Chun my Obi50 could kick their ass.

Peapod has a limited run of 1/4 ballet feet for preorder in their news thread. I want 1/4 ballet feet, I don't have any big girls. Otoh, I also don't have any WS or NS girls, mine are lilac and chocolate. Though if I order snow skin I could possibly blush them to match...have to finds shoes myself, though.

[s]Otooh, they need a minimum order of 15 by the 5th, that's tomorrow, and they're currently at 12.[/s]

Maybe I'll make the decision later/tomorrow after seeing if anyone else orders.

ETA: Wow, I'm stupid, ordering period runs until May 5th. *facepalm*

Where did those Lady Paradise/Jakks Pacific dolls come from? The ones who did the Charlie's Angels movie dolls? It looks like they were made for those Paradise Patterns of over done beaded spangled let's put a 1900 hat and hair on an 1870s dress crochet "Barbie" patterns. I'm sorting through a bunch of the the patterns, I think I'll save my wittier comments for my blog, but there's no mistaking Svetlana's old body or face mold.

Running around in Chinatown, yesterday, I found that one of my old haunts for anime stuff (though sadly gone baibai for the overly cute things) - formerly known as 'Penguin VIllage' - had what appeared to be some BJD shoes and boots o_o
I didn't get any though.... the glaring pinks and cutes were blinding me.

I believe that Lady Paradise was the first one to commission those hyper-realistic soft vinyl bodies; after that, Jakks Pacific made some sort of arrangement to use the same bodies. I definitely remember Lady Paradise being the first/only purveyor of the dolls to go with the Paradise Patterns, then selling them on ebay for the Babs customizer crowd. At one point you could expect to pay up to $50 for one. I still think the bodies are wonderful, but they do stain awfully easily.

I have a bunch MIB/MIP if anyone wants some.

[DollyKim]

Yeah, they are soft skinned but very realistic looking. They don't have the movement of our regular girls but I will recommend them as models for clothes, although they're shaped a bit different than Barbie. You can pop a Barbie or other soft rooted head with a similar sized neck hole on them.

[DollyKim]

Me again, nothing says a glutton for punishment like making up the chart so I can reshoot the body comparisons for my website, all those with everyone standing next to each other like they're in a police line up or something. Most of those go all the way back to the first version of the site.

So, anyone want to come over and play big pile of nekked dollies?
