My J-Doll Gran Vía (Michele)

Oh my gosh! O.o She's so cute! What kind of doll is she?

[Evelien]

Thanks guys . I have no idea what I'm gonna call her yet. I was thinking of Michele, because I got her from my boyfriend and his name is Michiel, and I think it suits her, but I'm not sure yet. The shape of her mouth is one of the main reasons I love her sweet face . Gotta say people are right about her posability, especially the arms are bugging me a bit. And when I move her legs she squeaks like a... well, what squeaks a lot..? I'm sorry, I've had a bit of wine tonight.

Kurosu.chan, she's a J-Doll, made by the same people who make Pullips (first Jun Planning, now Groove).

P.S.: I won't be able to put her on my natural skin Obitsu if I ever want to, she's too tan.

Decided to call her Michele, it really seems to suit her very well.

I still don't know what to compare the squeaking to.

Thanks, Evelien, I'm a noob, so I didn't know, but now I have to go look at the website!
Um...Pawstar makes hats with squeakers in them, they're pretty squeaky...

Yeah J-Dolls have squeaky legs and so do Hestias which have the same body. To get the head off you have to use violence! I had to open fish face's head to change her eyes. More about body swap over here: http://www.flickr.com/groups/j-doll/dis ... 340723818/

What about a Liv or a Fashionista body?

[Evelien]

Thanks Gift, I'd already seen that!
I just didn't think a bodyswap would be possible because of my J-Doll's skin colour. But... I guess a Fashionista body would work..! LIV could work too, love those bodies, but they're hard to come by in the Netherlands. Right now it's not worth it, I'm pretty broke . But thanks for the tips! Hadn't even thought of Barbie and LIV..!

I liked Michele's stock outfit the first day, after that it got boring. I don't know why, because I'm not exactly great at making clothes, but I always want to get my dolls out of their stock and into something I made asap! Sooo I created my girl a simple little black dress.

Almy/Landwhale... interested in Gran Vía's stock outfit without shoes..?

[AlmySidaKay]

Yus please? I'll PM you.

[Evelien]

I guess I'll be sending Almy the shoes as well.

The thing is... when Gran Vía arrived, I immediately realized she wasn't as great as I had hoped. I mean, she's pretty and all, but I don't FEEL her. She doesn't inspire me to make her clothes and photograph her. I can't get much out of her. There was no *click*. I thought there might be one later and I waited... but it didn't come.

This was really hard to admit to myself, because I'd gotten her as a gift from my boyfriend and she was so expensive and I'd whined about her to him for a day... but just now I gathered all my courage to tell him that I don't love her as much as I thought I would, and he actually understands. Which is REALLY nice. I think I'll try selling her nude now and my boyfriend agreed that I could go out and get another Obitsu and Little Pullip to make myself another hybrid... because I completely fell in love with those, just like I thought I would..!

Blah. I just had to get that off my chest.
