Resin Fantasies

*wince*

Okay. So, I got pissy and ordered boots. I expect them to show up in two weeks, and Eden Doll to inform me that Pjotr has shipped.
 ... actually, that second one probably won't happen, but it would go and figure. So, there are boots, and some slippers, and a couple of pairs of cute sandals, 'cause Anasi would like something that /isn't/ boots, please.... picky, picky.

Anasi: Scuse me if I hate these boots.

 .... Butt out. I'm working on it.

Anyway. If there is a diety with 'cute' in their pantheon, I really want to know what I did to get their attention. Or, maybe, what Tireyon and Nischa did to get their attention ... and what they named their daughter.
You would think the child of a Chaoshunter and a Stormcaller would be a little less mysterious, but no, she's acting like a six-year-old, and doing more giggling and running about than answering me. Maybe the children of elemental mages mature late. *shrug*
We're also discussing hair. I haven't /got/ any wigs that size. So, either I get some, or I get off my can and make some. Hm. I have some pink and grey-ticked fur... and some red with black ticking ... I'll have to give that some thought.

Doomed... /doomed/, I tell you ....

So. I made the mistake of poking around looking, rather absently at tinies. I do this occasionally. It's largely harmless, right? (leaving aside that Bambicrony tinies cause epic squee, and I /want/ a puki pukisha ... and a DollZone pet Fox... Figaro is so CUTE...!) ... it's largely harmless. Right?

 ... except ... I saw a li'l demon-girl tiny. Another Bobobie (gods help me). Suddenly, out of nowhere, I'm hit in the head by a size 2 pink slipper, and ... goddamnit. There is a little-girl demon-brat bouncing around in my head now, demanding little pink shoes, and cotton candy and ... Eek!
Especially about the little pink shoes. Pink?! Honestly...

Hah!

I can sew. So there. :p

I finished the cooling vest - now all I need is her boots, and she's good. At least ... she's good, until I get it into my head to make the rest of her clothes. She should have a coverall, eventually she needs a clan-style combat suit, field uniform, dress uniform .. ohfuck. I need to get started on Pjotr's dress uniform....
Not that he has shipped yet. I don't /really/ expect to see a shipping notice until ... well. Tomorrow, or Wednesday next week. Still. GAH! That is entirely more complicated than Sorbha's outfit ... Eek! (at least it's not Falcon field uniform. For some /completely/ unknown reason, theirs has an adorable and useless little half-cape.... whut? And it seems to be attached to their sleeves at the elbow. Who /designs/ this shit?! Their dress uniforms are downright /garish/....)

I also found a solution for her wig. I am beginning to /hate/ that wig - but, lo and behold, I have a rubber band that fits, and that solved at least the slippage problem. Which just leaves styling - her hair is supposed to be unruly, not uncontrollable!

These boots were made for ... what?!

Heh. The eternal shoe question.
Or problem, depending on how you look at it. If there is one thing I will probably /always/ complain about - it's shoes for dolls. I've complained about it before, even...

But! I had a wonderful idea. I will ... measure my dollfeet.
That's two DollZone, one Dollmore, one Bobobie. Two 1/4 (44-45cm), two 1/3 (58-60cm).
 ... wouldn't you know it, their feet are /all/ in the 5.5-7cm range?

And a lot of companies that sell shoes/boots for dolls, don't give you the actual measurements! Arrrrrgh!

Whaaaat?! Okay, yes, for Sorbha (bobobie Dai), that even fits. For Iri (Dollmore White Lilith), it ... doesn't, so much. Maybe I will say words to the effect of 'fuck this noise' and get her a new body. Anyone want a Dollmore Youth Eve-type body? I'll sand it... >.>
*cricket* ... yah, that's what I thought.
To this, I will add the measurements for Hawthorne's Dommie (Domuya flexi, w/ Sylvia head) ... or at least, I will, once I get them.

Sorbha now has her combat suit and bondcord ... no boots, though. Boots don't get here until Pjotr does - unless I get pissy and order a pair I /know/ will fit ... >.> .. which ... is tempting... 
And! I found my d-rings, so I might actually be able to make a belt. Woo!

Holy ... where'd the time go?

Whoa ...

Okay, so, I had an unplanned break.
The usual things that cause such breaks were in full force there for a while - lack of creative drive, money, focus on other areas ...
Then Anasi threw a boot at me, and ... yah. Anyway, I'm back at the sewing machine, and getting ideas, and ... yah. Not having that other boot thrown at me is some pretty serious incentive. >.>
(I knew there was a reason a lot of people wear those huge clod-stompers...)

So. Plans - I had plans! - got changed. I still want to see Faen, in all his winged and somewhat irreverent glory, and all the rest of it, but 'want' is not quite the same, or a good enough reason when my space and resources are still so limited. *sigh*
Okay, so they aren't so limited that I couldn't get clearance to get another pair.
A Bobobie 'Dai' is currently swapping cross-world gossip with Anasi, while waiting for me to get off my butt and actually ... *gasp* ... sew her some clothes that fit. Sorbha doesn't throw boots - but I don't really want a rain of socks, either, so I should probably get around to it.

However, I have to rave. Bobobie is totally new to me - they kind of came up on my radar when Junkyspot started carrying them. I poked around, did some research, checked out their main site, and ... hm. Wait. Under $200, for a 60cm doll? That can't be ... right? Can it? With face up?
Apparently, it can. Their 'new' body (I have no experience with the old one) is pretty flexible, is nicely sculpted (a bit skinny, but for Sorbha, that is at least appropriate. She is /supposed/ to be lean and muscular), and their head sculpts are nice. Some people have had comments about thin resin. I am not noticing anything of the sort ... but. When Bobobie says 'white'? They mean it. Paper white. Porcelain white. No colour at ALL. None. I might actually have to blush her. o.O
(A side-note - ordering things from Junkyspot is a bit dangerous. Her box showed up, and the damn thing was /bulging/. Literally. There was a LOT of stuff in there other than Sorbha and the stuff I had ordered. Some of it, I expected. Some of it, I really didn't ...)
I'll post pics and her bio once I've gone and sewed her combat panties. Technically, leotard - and cooling vest. She'll need that ... 

At the moment, I am rubbing my hands, bouncing and waiting for Pjotr - DollZone 'Cosmo'. *cough*
Yes, yes, I cleared it. No idea when they'll finish 'processing' and ship him, though ... Eeee! *boingboingboing*
