Hmmm, no burlap around, but would a plastic Kroger bag do? That would qualify as reuse, right?

I think she could make a toilet paper dress work. She's that gorgeous.

If I had a brain cell or two, I would have asked to take a photo of you holding her, especially since she was wearing the outfit you made.....

She looks like a lot of fun to play with!

My only real complaint is that she's super stiff still, but her joint should loosen up with time.

[Kirahfaye]

Geeze, she's still so freaking stiff! K2 - is this normal? Will the SmtD body ever loosen up some?

Yes, stiff joints are normal. Stiff is good! It means they stay posed the way you pose them. My Kizuna and Chitose do the stuff they do because of stiff, firm joints. If you're not used to vinyls/internal skeletons, stiff joints are probably strange and new, but it's the way they should be.

Just be careful when you do bend the joints especially the wrists. Make sure you're bending the wrist in the direction it's meant to bend. The little slits between the wrist ball parts, which indicates the rotation direction can be hard to see sometimes.

So, my computer started acting up. Well, actually it stopped acting up - it stopped working. I don't think it's dead, but it's at the point (7 years old or so) that it's outlived it's "shelf life". We decided to replace it with a new Dell. I have to download all of my programs and games again, it seems, but at least I was able to sync all of my bookmarks. Anyone interested in a brand new SmartDoll Starlight? I need to help pay for this thing.
