After 11 long weeks my girl's status has finally changed to "shipping!" >.> Now how much longer do I have to wait? crying I've been trying to plan out her faceup. >< Is it better to practice on a doll, like a MH, before doing the real thing?

I suppose? But they are a very different material so it's a completely different feeling to paint a MH vs a harder resin doll.. You could always wait until they arrive and practice on the headcap

Oman, congrats to everyone having their dolls come in! My tracking hasn't updated since Tuesday so I'm a little antsy.

[Shattered Ciel]

Eeeeeeeee She's home <3

[xKelpiex]

Lucky!! I'm hoping she arrives tomorrow ;.;

Congrats on all the doll arrivals and shipping notes 4laugh

Still trying hard not to buy any more for the moment lol. Re-doing face ups and making clothes for the existing crew whenever I find the time.
Hoping these damn AoT boots I got for Beleth arrive here soon though. And Savu's eyes ofc. But I don't think I should expect those any time soon. Damn you, urethane eye making tiemz.

Yeah, I buy clothes and accessories from there every once in a while 3nodding Even with agent fees and double shipping, it is often enough still cheaper than buying from dealers in Europe or the US.

★ did anything ever go wrong with your orders? she told me taobaotrends is a more expensive agent to go through, but they're incredibly reliable. Making an account didn't take long, so I kind of tested to see what it was like ordering through them, and they def simplified the process. I'm not feeling very nervous about ordering through taobao anymore. emotion_kirakira

★ you guys are just braver than me, yo, GROUP ORDERS IS ANOTHER THING I'M TOO SCARED TO DO, LOL. I'm frightened of messing up and making everyone in the order despise me. be like "PRINCE IS EVIL AND UNRELIABLE." and then I shudder for a while. emotion_0A0

★ CONGRAZZLES.
I'm an account hopper, but I've been on gaia for a long time, and I don't even know how. Roleplaying is most likely the one thing that's kept me on here, I just really enjoy speaking with my partners even if we're not writing about our characters.

Whoops, speaking of anniversaries, I missed Maddy's birthday, which was April 27th. I've had her for 3 years now smile
Here she is with Esper. I haven't decided if their characters get along or not yet.

Nora's birthday is in 2 days, but I doubt I will be posting pics of her, as she is still lacking hands and feet. Finlet did a fabulous job on her mani pedi though, and I am thrilled to see the stunning work she did on my new girl's face in person. Look forward to it!

Welp, my puki isn't even in Canada yet. I had been hoping to get her today, but alas, no. I am placated by the fact that mt girls are also on their way soon and have been beautified beyond belief. They are so gorgeous! Like Spore, I cannot wait to see them in person. I am so hyped whee

Spore: aw, what cuties! And wow, three years?
