Thanks! I like the new avie too! They are such beautiful girls!! I am proud of them!

That Hestia Ribon March sold yesterday. $45 plus $8 shipping. Damn that buyer got one hell of a deal. I can't believe that auction came up just a couple weeks after I got my Rhian Oh well, what's $80

I hope you can find what you are looking for for Mo. So are we suppose to be boycotting EvilBay?? I bought some Infallible lip gloss from EBay Express over the weekend. I had to. My fave 3 shades for $17 shipped. They would $30 plus tax if I got them at the store. I will be set on lip gloss for a good while when they arrive.

Oops! My boycott did'nt last long either! I scarffed up a JPOP super gorgeous Ink long wavy wig for Mo... She will have 3 wigs to choose from now! I just thought it would look gorgeous on her! her style is starting to come together in my mind! Too bad I don't have a sewing machine that can sew leather....

Well off to work I go!!!! Have a great day! TTYL!

See the little skull on her hood? Too cute!






I could not believe my eyes when the doorbell rang and a special delivery truck was in my driveway and a nice lady had me sign for a box from Japan! I knew it was Winda!! Home already! She was sent EMS - extra fast to me!!

As you can see her stock is amazing and her face is a flawless like porcelain! Her eyes are just gorgeous! I just love her!! What I wouldn't give for more Hestias! JP did a wonderful job with them. I so wish they had caught on and JP continued to make them.

OOOOH she is pretty! I love her hair and eyes. Did she come with that outfit? I love it.


Hey FC I bought some of that infallible lip gloss . I like it, I got the truffle shade. I like browns and nudes. I am thinking of trying the mauve too though. Have you bought cosmetics from ebay before? I never have I wonder is it worth it. There is a shade of outlast that has been discontinued I am looking for.

Thank you Aerwin!! Yes, she came with that outfit. She is suppose to be "the Wolf" in "Little Red Riding Hood". She is just so pretty! I named her Winda.

I am so glad you like the Infallible lip gloss! I get the lighter shades, but since you are a redhead I know those colors work good for you! (eek ETA: my lip gloss from EBay Express came just now! FAST!) My Alison Moyet CD came too! What a great day!!!

I have gotten TONS of make-up from Ebay! That is exactly why I got started getting make-up from Ebay - because I was able to get some discontinued shades that some on-line sellers on eBay still had in stock. I have also found some great deals on Ebay Express on make-up, like the 3 Infallibles I just got for $17 shipped. Here they sell for $9.99 each plus tax, so I got them 1/2 off. I have gotten M.A.C. eye shadow at great deals too. Also some eyeliner pencils. I have never been disappointed with the make-up deals I have gotten through Ebay Express. I like to get them on Ebay Express because everything is Buy It Now and I don't have to bid.

Happy hunting!

Luca, I can't wait to see Mo in all her wigs! I wish we both could sew! We are slaves to those who can

Oh, and I don't think I will ever be able to take Winda out of her stock It is so awesome and she looks amazing in it! I am so going to have to get a nude Hestia some day. Their stocks are just too good and so perfect for them.

OMFG!!!!!!She is so freakin' gorgeous!!!!! She is one of my favorite dolls of all time! Everything about her is so wicked, wicked cool! Eeek and double eeeK! I love her smokey face-up and nude lips-very goth and classy! And your photos are really good and clear! What are you doing differently?

Ok, No question whatsoever she is so worth whatever you paid... the stock is just priceless! You are so smart to have jumped on that deal!

And OMG EMS from Japan took how many days?????? That will mean I will have my girl in less than two weeks too then! How far is Korea from Japan???????

Ok, forgot to add that those first two shots of her about knocked my socks off!!!!!!

Thank you!!! I am so glad you love her too! She really is special, just like my Isis and Rhian! I am so thrilled that I went for her even though I was a wee bit nervous going through a site I didn't know anything about, but it soooo paid off! I got her for $104 shipped! Yes, so worth it!

It took 4 days from when the seller said she was sending her. Winda flew like the wind to me!!! She left the seller on Friday. So the weekend didn't delay her at all! Is Mo flying EMS from Korea? If she is than I bet it only takes 4 days for her too. Hey, I wonder if it would have been faster if it weren't for the weekend Though I can't imagine getting from Japan any faster than the 4 days, but maybe it could be two business days.

I put the camera on zoomx2. I guess that makes a difference in getting the close-up without the blurriness. I did those so quick because I had 6 kids here. I took the shots while the chicken fingers and fries were cooking

That zoomx2 really makes a huge difference! Winda is definitely my fav Hestia. Something about her really speaks to me. I agree that I would never take her out of her stock either...why bother? It suits her perfectly!

I hope Mo turns out to be as special too. My goal over the next week is to try to line up a suitable outfit or two for her arrival home. I have contacted a gal that makes leather pants on DOA that I have talked to before. We'll see if she wants to do business or not. I am picturing some leather brown or gray pants that lace up on the sides... Do you think they should be short knee length or long pants?

Thanks! I am so glad I decided to try playing around with the zoom and they turned out! It took me long enough to get good pix old dog, new tricks I guess

I am so pleased that you love her too! She spoke to me from pix on Flickr and as you know I became obsessed with getting her!! Really obsessed! Why else would I take a chance on a Japanese site and pray I converted the yen and exchange rate right??! When I clicked on submit order I closed my eyes and prayed that when my Pap-Pal email came I didn't spend $200 for her! Yep, she is staying in stock. Maybe I will have to get Red and have the set but I really haven't fallen in love with her pix though. Her stock is awesome though. Since they are so hard to find you feel like you don't really have time to decide what you want to do.

That is a tough choice about Mo's pants I am trying to picture her in the olden times like your story and figure out how leather lace-up the side pants fit into that? I can't see your vision for the whole look yet. Explain more about what you have in mind. I guess the problem is I have never seen and old time elf witch and don't know what they wore. I know a lot of men in the olden days wore short pants with the long white stockings, so maybe short would work. Besides, if the pants are short you can get her really cool boots! I guess I am not being much help I know whatever you decide will look awesome! You have never gone wrong yet!

Yep Winda is a cool little witchy woman....that song is going to play in my head every time I see her from now on!

Well, a nice gal named Marsh got right back to me that works with leather on DOA, and can't do lace up stuff because she does'nt do eyelets...

So I found this idea and asked her if she could come up with something...
Maybe this will clarify where I may go with the look. What do you think? If I can get a simplified version of the skirt and top and add my own embellishments I think it may work.

This is the wig I got for Mo...I have a feeling it is going to look really cool on her. I could do some fun stuff with braids too if it is full enough. I had even considered a dread wig, but they are nearly impossible to find. Some gals on DOA will do them by commssion, but I thought for 14.95 this one was too good of a deal to pass up, and a really fun color and style.

Good morning!

The wig is awesome! It will look great on Mo! Do you know what color her eyes will be, or are they random? I guess it doesn't matter because you can change them.

That outfit is amazing!! I hope you can get something like that! That seems like a good price for that doll with that outfit. She is only 30 CMs? Isn't that small for a BJD? Is she considered one of the new 1/6 dolls?

I won't be home most of the day. Thank GOD Winda came yesterday when I was home to sign for her! I have been so lucky that way with my 3 Hestias arriving! Going to take mom to the beauty shop and take care of my dad. Then grocery shop for us both after mom gets home. I have to watch him because Medicare took away the 24 hour Hospice care again. They said hopefully they will be back to round the clock in March. I think Medicare thinks my dad has gone on far too long to be in Hospice. He is a mystery that is for sure.

TTYL! Hope you have a great day! We had a little more snow and it is super cold! -15 wind-chills right now and it will get worse! When will it end??!

Yes, I think that Soom elf doll is a 1/6 size. Her outfit would look great on one of your Hestia's would'nt it?

Well, I heard back from the very first seamstress I talked to on DOA about making me some stuff for Mo...interesting. Just when I had given up on her and started talking to the leather gal. Oh well, it sounds like the first gal's stuff will take a while and you don't have to pay for it all until it is completed. She has excellent feedback, but is pregnant and says she can't sew for long periods of time now...sounds like the order could take a while so I just may have her make me one dress and a cloak and call it good. Decisions, decisions! I am glad to have some choices, and I know Mo must have the best clothes I can get to make her come alive!

At our Hospice program, sometimes people have been on it for a few years...guess it depends on how long they can get it paid for! It does sound like having nurses round the clock at this point is no longer needed. Is he still requiring the morphine to sleep? But, you just have to go on a day to day basis based on what happens.

It would be a great outfit for one of the Hestias! I can always keep my eyes open in the future for outfits.

Well, I hope it all works out with the custom clothes. How frustrating trying to find someone to make just what you want and when you want it. Too bad Grandma Cathy doesn't do elf witch costumes!!

Yes, it depends on what Medicare says and the Supervising nurse. Since he mostly sleeps they felt my mom could handle him. But, really she can't. I had quite a scene with them today. Dad complaining Mom doesn't take good enough care of him, and Mom complaining my dad wants too much and complains too much They were going at it and I was the mediator I asked Dad if he wanted to go to a nursing home or come to live with us if Mom is not doing a good job. He said no to coming to our house as he knows it just wouldn't work out, and that there is no money for a nursing home. Mom says dad talks mean to her, Dad says Mom yells at him I was afraid to leave him. He even told me that Mom hits him She says she doesn't. Hubby thinks they have both gone off the deep end. I am taking Mom out to lunch on Saturday and my Hubby is going to sit with my Dad. I told Rob to talk to my Dad about it all and see what he thinks. Rob says he doesn't believe my Mom would hit my Dad, even though my Hubby thinks my Mom is a wee bit of a bitch Well, she can be So it was quite the weird day

Dad hasn't had Morphine the last couple of days.
