For the things that never make any sense! XD

The place for those OT discussions that you just HAVE to share in a doll themed forum.

Consider the amount of time that goes into an intricate outfit ... I get that with human sized commissions (I do fantasy / medieval and (some) movie costumes). Details make all the difference in how the finished garment looks (and stands out next to other, less detailed versions), but they also take an insane amount of working time and up the price quite a bit. And while no artist can afford selling their time underpriced, I can also understand why people don't want to pay that much for such a small thing / a mere hour of music / two or three dance tune recordings ... and there's the "famous designer" thing too, obviously. People like her can afford asking that kind of wages.

*headdesk* Why do I feel guilty for looking at my Len Kagamine Dal and thinking: "Maybe I could sell him for the price I bought him and put it towards Vala?" I never touch him besides for a hug with the face pointing far AWAY from me...He's just so hard to work with but I can't force myself to ask my mom about it because well...I still love looking at him. I'm not planning on selling him but I realize I'm just not that attached to Len. I love having him around to look at and since he does his job of being the perfect piece of Vocaloid I can display and NOT get in the way he's staying. He's too cute to get rid of.

Okay my weird not making sense thing over.

Yeah, I suspect it might be a "I don't really want to do this, but if you pay me this much I will" reaction. Take into consideration how much Vera Wang would probably charge if you could even get her to consider the idea.

Frequently the "I don't really want to do this" jobs go to assistants.

Lucifer and the twins spend most of their time in their boxes I can't get rid of them. Lucifer (Orientdoll Il vampire) was the first doll I saw in a magazine and dreamed of getting. He's the only one in the weird 40cm slender scale, doesn't get much attention, and we only agree on Zep t-shirts but there's no reason to part with him. Then again I have some dolls that have been around for over 30 years with stains, their heads fall off, and they're missing parts but I still love them.

When you have serious dislike for a doll, not hair color out outfit but towards the doll as a whole, it might be something about yourself that you don't like. Maybe have a talk with Len and remember why you bought him in the first place? Dolls are great listeners.

After months of deafening silence DZ Claire finally tells me who she is... a day before she's due to arrive

Predictably her newfound personality doesn't match any of the cautious ideas I had at all... The only thing I have that still suits her is her wig...

So she wont be naked when she arrives, but she's going to utterly hate her 1st outfit...

She'll be Elrana Melnova, from a future alternate dystopian earth, a citizen of one of the 3 great megapowers, specifically the one that was founded from the remains of the USSR. She's a hacker, and moonlights as a thief occasionally. Descended from a group of alien refugees that triggered the 30minute war... also floating Gretel head will be a strange mostly mute street urchin under her protection (ish), and Drax of course will be just visiting, and will pick them up and they'll all be bestest friends a la Doctor Who...

So nothing at all like I'd imagined (Grr - she's also demanding guns)

Edit: So she's basically a cyberpunk pre-Shield Movieverse Natasha Romanov...

hehe! Yeah I was surprised too - I can't even decide what species Drax is...

That's not really THAT weird.

I have a lot of dolls (most of my anime and Monster High dolls) that are shelf-sitters, who are only there to look pretty and not really be played with/posed/have their clothes changed/have their picture taken.

If you still love looking at him but don't want to play with him, you shouldn't get rid of him.

Think about it this way: would you miss him if he was gone? Do you think you would be totally fine with not having him anymore, or do you think you would be going "Man, I wish I hadn't sold him..."?
I have so many dolls that I can't fit all their names in my signature anymore. @__@

I have no plans to get rid of him it was just a random thought. I really would miss him if I sold him since he really is adorable and I love having the little fella around.
