Pukis are cute. :) And now I feel vaguely guilty because there are at least TWO other dolls (not counting Francesca, she'll have a photoshoot soon) that I never took out of their boxes to play. :/ Meh. *look at the pile of random eyes, wigs and clothes that patiently wait to be USED.*

Yestarday I tried to clean my poor closet, throwing away all the doll boxes that I piled there for no real reason, then I decided to play a little with my DIM Leisha. I must say I hate her faceup with passion, but I don't have the littlest wish to send her away for a new one (too much hassle, the italian postal service is crap and I dont' want to run the risk to lose her head somewhere, plus I don't have enough money to spend on that thing now), so I decided to buy a new pair of eyes and maybe a new wig for her... we'll see if things will get better. :P

Anyway, I haven't found a decent name for the two critters, yet. Do you have any suggestion? I was going for something circus-related for Pong (the better thing I could come up with is Tuesday for Pong - from Fat Tuesday) annnnnd nothing in particular for Cupid, even if her colors keep reminding me of caramel beans... but 'Caramel' isn't what I want for her. >:/

Francesca arrived, with a lovely attachment of €85 in customs fees (42% of her stock price...)
She's perfection and I'm in love, but I'm NOT going to buy anything else from Korea for a long, long time. :/ (I really don't know what to say: I tried to ask the customs employees and people at TNT's customer service, and I still have to know why they charged me so much. Nobody knows. It's a mystery.)

Pics (hopefully!) tomorrow, when Gretchen (my FR Eden) will join the team. :')

(as for real life things, I had another talk with people at the Agency and they congratulated me because, apparently, the work I did got a full approval. So I'm going to work there, it seems. Still have to get how much they're going to pay me, though... :/)

Francesca and my long-awaited Style Mantra Eden are on their way home. :)

I just caught some pics of Eden in a japanese blog (source: click here) and I'm utterly in love. She's so beautiful! Definitely one of my favourite Fashion Royalties, along with my Urban Outfitting Nadja and Painted Black Erin. I had my eyes set on the other Erin from the same 'model behavior' line (Pretty Calculated) but now I'm not that sure anymore - Eden is ten times prettier, plus I've been cheated already with a couple other dolls in the past (Quicksilver Kyori, to name one... I think I will sell her soon. :/) so I'm a bit more selective now. I don't think I'll buy anything that I'm not 100% satisfied with, from now on (and that's a huge vow from a compulsive buyer like me... *laughs*)


Speaking of compulsive buying, I was tempted to bring a Min home with Francesca, but this latest incarnation doesn't convince me that much. I just hope I won't fell in love once I see the first owners' photos. :/ As for Francesca, she's going to get here *before* her clothes. *laughs* Speaking of which, do any of you knows a good seamstress for these tinies? (besides Spampy/Jenifer, Pei/Peggy and Mimi/Miriam who's currently on hiatus). I need MORE clothes and I can't find anything cute in the 6" dolls lines. :(


** patiently waiting for her ElectoPop Susie to be shipped **

I do like this doll, he's quite different from the usual tinies. The others in the line ('cept maybe Dorothy, which looks kinda plain) are pretty as well... too bad they're not sold with a faceup of some sort. (I'll try something non permanent sooner or later. Hmm.)

I just discovered that the main character in the japanese edition of Stephanie Meyer's saga looks like Joel. XD Plagiarism! Piracy! *laughs*

And it seems they're going to reopen Bluefairy's website, too.
...NOOOOOOO! Not NOW please! >__< I can't really waste money on another doll for at least three months, shit. Oh please, please, dear God of the Dolls, make their stock be huge and last till the end of the year at last! *cries*

I had to pay 167€ in customs fees, SHIT. (that's the price of another doll, a-ah, how funny.)

I want to cry. And my father, who got the parcels for me, told me one is just an envelope - what the fuck? I refuse to believe that my Dollti Tinman has been shipped that way, it's... mind-boggling. Who would send a doll to the other end of the world that way?!
I want to cry x2.

And I pray some random gods that the other missing doll won't be caught in this process. :X

Same old story: I have two parcels from Corea blocked at the custom because people at TNT Express doesn't know how to use a computer. I sent them two pdf files with all the specs they requested, they printed them and magically forget to write the name of each file on the paper. So, after three days of mail sent back and forth they called me at the phone to make me repeat the name of the files they had printed on paper once again.

"yes, file A is the one that start with this paragraph, and file B is the other."

I'm sure apes are smarter.

And I'm completely sure they'll make me pay random fees just because they had these damn parcels sitting in their warehouse for four days.

Hate.

This site is dangerous for your wallet. Beware. :/
I've just seen Pipos' new MadHatter doll and I am going to stamp my feet and throw a tantrum because I WANNNNNT and I can't.

I'm apathetic like hell today, but I thought it would have been funny to see some random dolls' pics, since I was already taking some.
Well then, this is the cabinet where I store my poor dolls:

I think I'm developing a bad case of paranoia. *laugs*
This morning I met quite some people I use to talk to (some of whom I consider friends, or at least I thought so!) and I was under the impression they couldn't stand my presence. It does sound stupid, yes.
Maybe I just chose the wrong moment to stand in the way... it might be. The whole situation left me kinda pissed, though -- I've been thinking "Who cares, let it slide!" since 9 o' clock in the morning, but the bad mood hasn't disappeared yet. *laughs*

(to be honest, yesterday I made a bad impression with another acquaintance of mine, so maybe I'm stil under the shame of that spectacle. *umph*)

This - and the hideous situation at work - stressed me to the point I just told a fib to my 'so-called' new boss, left the office at 2pm and... went to the hairdresser. *laughs* Now I feel less under pressure, and I guess a nap will help me getting better faster.

That, or a whole evening spent ogling dolls on the net. *laughs*

*whines* *wants to be reassured like a baby* XD

So, apparently I was lucky enough and got my money back. No San Francisco Days Susie for me, but at least it wasn't a total failure.
I bought the new Eden from the FR Nu.FACE line instead, and shipping was like 45$ - geez! But I'm kinda used to these outrageous fees. :/ Eh. At least the package's insured... is it? *oh shit, must double-check*

Sure thing.
Too bad I did it again.

Ok, I need a bigger closet now. :/
I wonder WHY I have this URGE to buy all DG girls. I mean, they always arrive in those ugly, crushed boxes and the taliban collector in me starts screaming like mad. But I must have all waves, all girls, even the rarest ones. Agh. There's something wrong in my head uh? ^^;

(but this new line is so pretty, bohooooo. ;__;)

now playing: Ting Tings, Great DJ

I got scammed on eBay -- I feel quite bugged. :/
I guess I won't get my Susie doll, after all... There goes my trust in eBay's sellers with a few negs! I swear I won't buy anything else from people without a spotless feedback, from now on.

Just the metaphorical tip of a vast, expansive iceberg called "bad month". *laughs*
Oh, and I turned 30, too. :'D

I think I falled in love with Trent Reznor's voice.
Shouldn't it be a teenage kind of thing?

:/

I got addicted real quick, damn.

now playing: Nine Inch Nails - Only

I should stop buyng dolls on a whim. >__>; Seriously. - but I must stay up-to-date with the whole Dynamite Girls line! I must! I MUST! Even if I have no more room for all these plastic gals in my closet! Agh!

As for the rest, life's boring and I'm still waiting for both my Dec's paycheck AND Christmas bonus to be paid. Where is my darn money?! T__T

mood: pissed
