Hey guys, look what I did!

Ok, I’m going to admit it, I’m like a proud mama tonight. I found a kind of blogging article site that you can just write what’s on your mind and have people view it. If you are lucky you will make money from it. I thought it would be a nice outlet for when I just need to talk and don’t really have to place to do some. Some things I wanted to talk about are doll related but I don’t think they really fit in here with the blog for some reason, so I decided to make it into a Squidoo Lens.  I know, crazy, but it was fun.

I had heard about Squidoo while doing searches but never really looked into it until I recently found myself researching how to make money from home.  I decided it couldn’t hurt and I was doing it more to write and get my writing out there, so why not try it. Only problem was I didn’t know what to write about.  I decided to be easy on myself and write something doll related. That when I came up with the idea to help newbies to the doll hobby with tips and tricks on how to find doll clothes and accessories.  I know, this may sound like common sense to some, but there are some places one may not look to find clothing.  Like for example, did I ever tell you about the time I found an either MSD or SD size shirt on a note pad? Kid you not. It was front and back and super cute. I was going to post about it and I don’t think I ever got around to it. I bought two thinking I’d have to slice up the back in order to get it on the doll and wanted to be able to have both sayings on the shirt, but decided to just pop a future doll’s head off instead of ruining the shirts. Guess that means I’ll need twins.  Winking smile

So if you are interested in some tips on finding doll clothes and accessories or if you are just interested in seeing what I’ve written, I would love for you to head on over to my Squidoo called “How To Start A Doll Clothing And Accessories Collection”.  If you like what you see feel free to like and share with the buttons located on the side of the article page and feel free to leave a comment.  Smile I have several doll lens in the making and I’ll be sure to share them all here with you. But for now I am going to curl under these blankets and rest. It was 105 degrees Fahrenheit today and now I am freezing my butt off, go figure. Ok, talk to you lovely lads and lassies soon. Be good until then. Bye for now. Smile

Excited to start her new lens,
Michelle

P.S.-
Oh yeah, and speaking of Liv dolls, if you didn’t hear, the official word was given, they have been discontinued. Thumbs down They last wave I believe will come out around Fall. Get them now peeps or forever face the wrath of the secondhand market. Just and FYI, just bought a Liv Spa Alexis for just over 5 dollars on Amazon. Oh yeah, and lens about Liv Dolls coming soon. I will so miss the line. I need to get on more Jake but hoping Toys R Us will give me a chance to get one for $7.50 again. Fingers crossed Fingers are crossed tight I’ll get lucky on Sunday. Scary to think I will be starting a comic soon that is Liv Doll based.  What if I break one?!? Surprised smile  Ahhhhh!!!  Ok, now I’m really going.  LOL!  Bye guys. Smile

My Dollie Is A Gumiho!

Ok, so I wish I could say my dollie is a gumiho, but I don’t actually own the doll in question.  So the best I CAN say is, I want a dollie that’s a gumiho.  What’s a gumiho you ask?  Oh, well, a gumiho is quite frankly a nine tailed fox.  No, no, seriously.  Have a look at the wiki, excerpt included below.

The gumiho (구미호 / 구 "gu" - nine) (literally "nine tailed fox") is a creature that appears in the oral tales and legends of Korea,[1], and are akin to European fairies. According to those tales, a fox that lives a thousand years turns into a gumiho, like its Japanese and Chinese counterparts (the kitsune and the huli jing). It can freely transform, among other things, into a beautiful girl often set out to seduce men, and eat their liver. There are numerous tales in which the gumiho appears. Several of those can be found in the encyclopedic Compendium of Korean Oral Literature (한국 구비문학 대계).

See?  Ok, so now that you know what a gumiho is, now I’ll tell you why I want one.  Ever since my sister got me hooked on and made me watch this cute Korean drama called “My Girlfriend is a Gumiho”, I’ve just fallen in love with the image of a nine tailed fox.  Don’t get me wrong, I’d probably freak if I saw one in person, I mean that’d be kind of weird, but the girl in the show who was the gumiho was so cute and I’d love to have a little replica of her.  And for 99 dollars I can!  Have a look.  Smile

Isn’t it the cutest thing?!?  I’m seriously in love with this doll.  Created by Camellia Dynasty this gem has a cute face, 9 tales, and is ball jointed, so what’s not to love?  Of course there is the bummer that there were only 50 made worldwide so umm yeah, probably won’t be getting my gumiho, but just being able to look at it will have to do.  I love how if you look through the website they show the fox with bigger “human” dolls and it’s just so cute.  In all honesty I wouldn’t really have a use for an animal doll but I had to share with you guys what I found.  I am just so I awe of it.  Smile

And that is it for this post.  A few more to come, but that will have to wait for now as it’s late and I think I want to go to bed in a bit.  So I will talk to you soon with a new post. Be good until then.  Bye for now.  Smile

Loves ya Red heart,

I’m So Proud Of My Patience. Junky Spot Order!!!

So the other night, after I’d all but given up on ever owning my coveted pink 10mm Hujoo eyes, my mom instant messaged me and asked me what size of eyes I was looking for on Junky Spot.  I told her the 10mm ones in pink.  She said she saw some in like 16mm but not in 10mm, she was on the site at the time.  I frowned and sighed and went back to the game I was playing when she messaged me back and  said “but I did see these cool looking pink ones with black in them”.  *insert record scratch here*  My mom didn’t know what kind of doll eyes I was looking for exactly and these Hujoo eyes are different from previous ones I had bought, but I knew there was only one pair of pink eyes on the 10mm page…I had to look.  I minimized my game and went to Junky Spot, and it was the gasp heard round the world.  There before my beady eyes were the most perfect pink Hujoo beady eyes.  They were back in stock!!!  Ahhhhh!!!!  But I was so excited I suddenly couldn’t remember my order that I had all planned out for roughly two months.  Taking a deep breath it all came back to me.  I got the eyes, my Bitty Bitsu, the head for my Bitty Bitsu, my Hujoo Baby…that was not part of the original order but when do orders ever stay the same with me, and two wigs.  Ah, the wigs…one of the ones I wanted was sold out.  *whiney cry*  So close and yet so far.  But was I about to take a chance on waiting for a wig to come in and still get my complete order?   Heckkkk noooo!!!  I compromised and picked the same color in a different style.  I wasn’t sold on it, but hey, it’s a wig and my Hujoo baby wouldn’t go bald.  So I ordered it on Saturday or Sunday.  I believe it was Saturday.  It was mailed off Monday from CA and less than two days later it’s hear with me in NC.  Awesome!!!  So now, let’s see what I got.  Warning, photo dump is to follow.  Smile

Junky Spot Order

This first one I had to take because of the paper on the side of the box.  It reads: FRAGILE
BREAKABLE RESIN OR VINYL PERSON INSIDE. TRAVELING FROM THE JUNKY SPOT TO THEIR NEW HOME.
Aurora Says “PLEASE HANDLE WITH CARE!”, and then it has the Junky Spot website link.  I just think it’s too cute while being very informative.  Smile

Junky Spot Order

Ooooooh packaging.

Junky Spot Order

Goodies!!!

Junky Spot Order

Here is my purchased laid out.  Hujoo Baby Suve in apricot, a Bitty Bitsu, head for the Bitty Bitsu, the coveted and long awaited pink eyes that were so worth the wait and money, and then two wigs.

Junky Spot Order

My purchase with my extra goodies.  Yummy and cute.

Junky Spot Order

Higher view of it all.

Junky Spot Order

The two wigs were a mini wave Hujoo wig in red and a mini banged wig in black.  I was going to get a mini wave in black but it sold out so I got the banged one.  I like the banged one, wish I could have gotten the blond one Suve is pictured with in her promo pictures.  The mini wave wig I am still kind of iffy on and that was the one I originally wanted.  The hair is so stiff that it just doesn’t sit right, but maybe with a fabric softener dip it might “loosen” up.  We’ll see.  I want to research first to make sure the dip wont strip the color.  Might have to try a hidden strand first and see what happens

Junky Spot Order

The beginnings of my mini army.  The one on the left is Christmas Noel that I got I believe almost two years ago now.  She needs some TLC for sure.  But she finally has a fitting wig, yay!

Junky Spot Order

Now this one is causing me frustration.  The wig that was suppose to fit her doesn’t.  It’s too big, it was too small for Christmas Noel.  That’s damn mohair wig is going to be the cause for me to pick up drinking I swear!  But I’ve got plans for it.  *insert evil grin and laugh*  So basically she has no wig now, but I have come up with another alternative I am working on.  So far so good.  When it’s completely done I will let you all see.  It feels so good to be crafting again.  Smile

Junky Spot Order

Now to show off the amazing way these babies can bend.  Amazing isn’t it?

Junky Spot Order

Another view more to the side.

Junky Spot Order

And a view from the top.  I plan to take more pictures of this one, she’s too fun.  I have put a dab of glue on her posts in an attempt to keep them in her body.  Not long out of her box she’s popping loose everywhere.  And John I see what you mean about the hands.  Almost impossible to get out and it wouldn’t have cost them much to just give us a peg.  Oh well, I don’t plan on changing them too much.  I will do a Hujoo photoshoot soon.  Right now I am on the fence about Hujoo.  The way their bodies are is kind of funky.  At least to me.  Personal opinion here.  Maybe it was to make them look more like babies, but my little girl sticks her tummy out and it makes her hard to pose.  Don’t know if a looser stringing would change that, but right now I will leave her be until I get Christmas restrung.

And just for fun and silly little omake.

Junky Spot Order (Omake)

I was trying to get a close up of this one’s face and the flash actually decided to work when it hadn’t before due to perfect lighting from the window.  And I couldn’t help notice the seemingly laughing one in the background that looks very much like a creeper.  Laughing out loud

But that’s all for my order, my late birthday present from others and from myself to myself.  Smile  I’m already planning another order for a weight loss milestone.  I want a chocolate Hujoo Baby…I think Ted this time, I want a fleshtone Bitty Bitsu…my current one is in white, and now I’ve got my eye on those blue 10mm Hujoo eyes.  Sarcastic smile  Oh and not to mention…it’s totally not me but…I want a Dana doll.  I know, right!  I’m crazy!  But…she’s so pretty and so neat.  At first I didn’t want her, but then I saw a review of her and I was in awe.  Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not leaving 1/6th behind.  No way.  I’m just also collecting other dolls now that I’m seeing I enjoy them more than I thought I did.  So I hope one day to bring Dana home.  Fingers crossed.  Smile

And that’s all boys and girls.  Just wanted to share my little…would you call this a haul?  Well I’m calling it a haul, especially with how much I spent for tiny dolls.  LOL!  Sometimes I feel bad about the money I’ve spent and will spend on dolls.  I know it’s better than buying drugs or alcohol, and in my case junk food, but sometimes I do feel bad…then I see how awesome my dolls and their things are and I quickly get over it.  LOL!  Ok I’m off you all, I will talk to you lovely people again soon.  Be good until then.  Bye for now.  Smile

Guess Hujoo?

Ok, even I will admit that was a lame title, but I couldn’t resist.  So guys, I want to tell you what a complete airhead I am.  Why do I say that? Well remember how I said a couple of days back how I wanted an 11cm Obitsu doll to help continue me on my path of creating a mini minion army?  Well do you remember the eyes and wigs that I showed you guys that I wanted to buy?  You know, it never dawned on me that they were Hujoo brand items even though I knew they were.  So I never put two and two together to figure out they must have tiny Hujoos even though I have seen them all over The Junky Spot Facebook page. *facepalm*  I don’t know why I didn’t hop on over to that page before and take a look at them.  But today I did, and can I just say, grabby hands!!!

Is It Ok To Buy Yourself A Birthday Present


{source}

Because I’m gonna. Smile  So my sister sent me a link to a picture of the new 11cm Obitsu bodies.  I had gotten an email from Junky Spot but didn’t pay much attention to it until I saw that picture.  I gasped as I made grabby hands at the screen.  Just kidding, about the grabby hands, not the gasp.  If you have been reading along with me, you know that I love the mini dolls and want to form a mini army of dolls.  I just think they are so cute.  I feel that this new Obitsu body should defiantly be mine.  So I went through the website and formed my perfect doll as follows.
