Last Weekend NYC Doll Meet

Before this weekend starts, I just wanted to do a quick post about last weekend and the weekend before. I know, I'm so late.

So there was a bigger doll meet two weeks ago on Saturday that I was able to make. Usually I am not available because of familial duties but I was able to get there before everyone left. I brought my friend David this time since he is interested in minatures and such. There were a lot more dolls and the site was really nice. Here are pics of the ones that stood out. I didn't take that many photos because I was actually a bit overwhelmed and since I'm a bit shy, I was afraid to talk to ppl about their dolls. Trust me, there were some really cool dolls there.

Yes, the eyes really are glowing. There are LEDs in there and the owner wasn't around so I took photos lol.

Besides these I was able to get my grubby paws on a 5 star Aiden. The resin is really interesting in that it is super smooth to a shiny level and it is translucent. The one problem with this is that hybrids will be hard, but the doll was really cute irl. I believe the doll belonged to a girl named Eve but I'm not 100% sure.

I also want to post a little sneak peek at a new addition. I picked him up last weekend on Saturday and spent a nice hour or two with Jennifer (awesome person I bought him from) at Kinokuniya, the Japanese bookstore in NYC.


Not a very good photo, I know but he's so tiny it was really hard to focus the shot. Plus I has no tripod.

And lastly but not least, a shot of JunkySpot goodness. I got the 11cm obitsu of course and get ready for a mini me! (I have a character I call Lil' Wini, my alter ego who I will introduce here but this is not the same thing. Lil' Wini has a series of little cartoons of her that need to be drawn.)


See all the goodies? Thank you Emory!

Ok, to time go. Have an awesome 4th of July everyone.

First Doll Meetup!

I went to my first meet yesterday and it was quite nice. I was very apprehensive at first and tried to talk some friends into going with me and being my army lol. I get scared that ppl might be mean or whatnot since my dolls are not done and in their proper clothes or presented the way they should be. Needless to say, my worries were unjustified and I was just being a spaz.

The dollmeet was interesting because I got to see a lot of dolls I would never have been able to otherwise. I handled a few SDs and I really believe the 70cms to be too big for me. I think I am ok up to 60cm but I'm not completely sure yet. Anyway Here are the fabulous dolls that were there. Sorry for the bad photos. I used my phone since I could not justify bringing my bf's expensive camera.

Note: I believe that BBB is actually an Ariel, not a Sprite. Her ears are Ariel ears and I remember her eyes not being as big as the Sprite eyes are.

Look how much bigger Shandel is that Zi'li! Shandel is amazing and seeing one in person makes me want to paint them even more. Surprisingly, as you can see from the photo, her head isn't much bigger than Zi'lis. (Er sorry about Zi'lis hair. She looks good as a blonde but I will get her wig soon.)




I fell in love with this beautiful Dollmore Kid Pado. He is so much more beautiful in real life than in the product photos from Dollmore. Charlie was quite taken with him and seemed to easily wrap him around her little finger.



My darling Aili looking so beautiful and a little lonely. I am sad to announce that she is in the process of being sold and I will miss her so much. I've had her for so long and she has been one of my favorites. I actually took her around to show her to ppl because I was so happy with her. She was quite well received and I'm glad I at least got to take her around for a day trip before I let her go.


Overall I quite liked the meet. I learned some things including that ZM spray is better on tan skin. We'll see. I only have MSC right now but I will procure some ZM and do a comparison for everyone. The one bad thing that happened is that Oun's headcap got broken. She was knocked around three times and fell flat on her face once. Her face is fine and even though her headcap doesn't show and I can fix it easily it still makes me sad. Me thinks I will keep her seated at meets from now on.
