Doll fever
So, after having drooled over asian ball-jointed dolls for several years, I’ve finally splurged out for one. I have been wanting the Dollmore Eve “Lilis Liv”, but $550 is more than I can afford or even grant myself for a toy, beautiful as it might be (and although my partner tells me otherwise, he’s a model car collector and claims that they can be just as expensive). Anyway, I’ve discovered that the less expensive Pullip brand has some really gorgeous ones too, and I’ve just received my first one; a Nomado. Pullips are not _really_ ball-jointed, but they are commonly mentioned as such and often collected by bjd lovers.
I haven’t really had a real photo session with her yet, the picture above is from when I unwrapped her. I haven’t even given her a name, as I understand is custom among doll owners. Suggestions, anyone? I was thinking “Lisa”, but that’s really dull compared to the names that others give their Pullips.. (I just thinks she reminds me of character Lisa from Six Feet Under).
I’ve also bought a Chill (pic1, pic2), and I am currently the highest bidder on a Zuora. That one is nude, though, and not with her stock clothing, so I won’t go too high. Pullipstyle.com has her in mint condition for a reasonable price, so if I don’t get the eBay one I will most probably order her from there on my next paycheck.
These dolls can wear Barbie clothes, so I am going shopping in my lunch break (as soon as I’ve blogged this!). ) I will also have my mum knit me a few outfits - she’s declined to make me amigurumis because she hates sewing them together and shaping them, but I know she’s knitted Barbie clothes before so now there’s no escaping! 
Finally, I will set up my sewing machine - this will be the incitement I needed to get it fixed (there’s a problem with the bottom thread). I am really looking forward to creating stuff for the dolls and taking them outside for photo sessions!
What’s _your_ silly hobby?
