I hate making jeans and the only ones that will fit my big hipped Soom girls are jeans for Hound that I can cut down.

So, if anybody has any to sell, show me what you got!

Holy toledo, I must be sitting on a fricken gold mine with 5 Dollshe heads and 4 complete original Dollshes.

Are these heads REALLY gonna sell for that much now?

Date: 2009-10-31 04:23 Subject: I ordered Iplehouse Chase Security: Public

The LE is cream white so I had to jump lest they not release that color again. The outfit was so striking that I had to have that as well. I will probably keep his regular Chase head as I do like it alot. All the wolf gear can go, and I am sure I won't get much money for that stuff, but oh well.

The Jeremy head will look amazing on that body, and I am super excited. Of course, I had to go out and buy the new boy a slew of shoes, since Hound shoes won't fit him, and it will mean some changes to my girlfriend doll approach as well. So, I will be selling and moving some stuff around.

I may have a buyer for the first Version of the Jer doll, on the Soom body. It's a gal on my JN chat board and she absolutely adores the doll, I would take less money from her, basically cost, if she wants him. I hope she decides she can swing it as I would really like the doll to be with someone who would really appreciated what I was trying to do with the project, and who is a Jeremy fan.

Off to a meet up today, not much other news at the moment.

Nobody could have refreshed a page faster, or more often than I have today hoping this boy will go on sale, and that he is indeed, cream white.

I haven't felt this doll maniacal in a long, LONG time.

Please Iplehouse, put him up for sale already!!

Date: 2009-10-28 06:06 Subject: Iplehouse EID Model to be released in cream white Security: Public

I am sooo screwed. If they do make the first release of this boy in cream white, I'll have to jump on him. Someone on DOA asked about his color and Iplehouse responded that this first one WILL be released in cream white, so I'll probably have to jump on the LE in the event they don't release a standard version in that color.

This body is a must have for the Jeremy doll.

Date: 2009-10-26 04:50 Subject: My DVD collection Security: Public

Zagzagael asked about what was in her flists DVD collection, so I thought it would be fun to list some of them and hope that others will too.

My DVD collection is rapidly spiraling out of control and at some point, I really must alphabetize it so I can find things.

This list is by no means comprehensive, but represents a good sampling.

Jeremy Northam films (collection is almost complete, but I won't buy them all as a couple I just didn't care for):

The Net
A Fatal Inversion
Piece of Cake
Wish me luck
Emma
The Winslow Boy
Enigma
Guy X
Cypher
Gosford Park
The Singing Detective
Mimic
Happy Texas
The Tudors seasons one and two
The Statement
Dean Spanley
Bobby Jones, Stroke of Genius
Martin and Lewis
The Tribe
Voices from a Locked Room
Possession
The Golden Bowl
An Ideal Husband
Gloria
Misadventures of Margaret
Carrington
Amistad
A Village Affair
Fiona's Story


Jane Austen stuff (besides Emma)
Sense and Sensibility
BBC Pride and Prejudice
Persuasion

Bryan Fuller series:
Dead Like me
Pushing Daisies
Wonderfalls

All the "That's Entertainment" DVDs

The Sopranos, complete

And probably at least 50 other random movies/documentarys that I'd have to go inventory to list here.

What about you?

Good Lord!! That is THE perfect body for my Jeremy doll

Arrgghhhhhhhhh!!!

If the resin match is anywhere close, I HAVE to have this body (the one on the right above).

After seeing this, Soom Idealian is no longer fascinating at all. And I hate what Soom is doing with their "Secret Society" crapola.

I so hope this EID Model bod can be made to match, I'll be in heaven!

Lots of stuff has been happening, so I'll hit the points in the old bulleted fashion.

1. Have been spending a lot of time getting my JN bulletin board through it's first batch of growing pains. Lot's of learning in terms of actually running a boardhost board, and there is so much more I need to learn. We've had our first major conflict among members and had to deal with that, but it seems pretty smoothe running now. It's a lovely group of "grown-up" fans, and we spend a great deal of time discussing this actor's endless catalogue of tremendous performances. I am enjoying it tremendously.

2. It looks like we will have to take on full ownership of the Utah house. Originally we put 20k down on the house for Jud's eldest and her then husband, in hopes that would help them get off to a good start in their marriage and raising their child (which is the only reason they got married), and hoped we could just take a backseat and at some point, we could all sell the house and we could get our 20k back out.

Well, Ryan, the soon to be X, has been falling down on payments and home ownership dues. He didn't let us know about this until he was seriously in trouble, so we have been frantically scrambling to take care of this financial cesspool before it has an impact on our credit. At this point, the only answer we see, is to have the property completely signed over to us, and put solid renters in there until we can sell it, and hopefully break even. That is all in process right now, but I can assure you, it's the last thing we wanted to be doing financially at the moment.

3.College step daughter finally saw the light and broke up with psychotic, loser boyfriend. We are muchly relieved over this one.

4. I am feeling no desire to buy more dolls. I have so many unfinished projects with the ones I have, the list is HUGE, that I barely look at new dolls right now. I must say however, that I am still quite intrigued by Soom Idealian, and I could fall for him if he's not too horribly pricey. Mostly, I'd just like to consider the body for my JN doll.

Other doll stuff, I have a Tilda Swinton MnM head that I am going to put on an AOD body. She's not going to be done as Tilda necessarily, but as a photo companion for the JN doll. The MnM heads are so much more realistic that, to me, they don't look right with other, regular doll-like dolls. So, the JN doll needed a companion of sorts that had the same realism level he does.

That's about it for now!
Hope everyone is well, happy and creatively trucking along. I'll try to get back and read all your journal entries and get caught up with you guys, I miss you!

The bullet approach again.

* my computer died, I mean REALLY died. So I am coming at you via Hubby's old laptop, which really sucks. I can barely see the screen, I have no bookmarks, no passwords (though I have been able to locate most of em) and bad email links. He's working on mine, but who knows how long this will take.

* I am going to do an Alexander Skarsgaard minimee head for someone. Vampire Eric style. That should be a lot of fun. I really find doing these realistic minimees to be a challenge, and enjoy it alot.

* the heat has in general kept me completely unmotivated to do anything craft/doll wise. My studio is like an oven with all those lights, and I just can't bear to be in there. I am so ready for fall/winter now. I am thinking I better get the naked dolls dressed however, in the event we have fires and or evacuations.

* Still waiting on Tilda Swinton minimee head. She will be fun to do. I ordered an AOD body for her which is taking forever to arrive, but I guess it doesn't matter as I don't have the head yet.

* Someone has Cuprit's crown for sale in the MP on DOA. It would be perfect for Ice Queen, but $70 for a crown seems too expensive to me. Plus, I might be able to make one that is even more interesting (if I get motivated) from real crystals.

* So many dolls for sale in the MP, and it seems almost no one is buying. I really feel for people who are needing to sell dolls just to stay financially afloat, and can't move them.
Really tough times right now for an awful lot of people. I feel super grateful that we have been very safe from all that, so far.

* need to get some really good pics of the Jeremy doll, again, having motivation problems, especially when it involves hot lights.

* went and saw the band Three Dog Night last Saturday. Wow, what a blast from the past. Those guys sound better than ever, which is amazing considering they are in their late 60's now.

* so many projects and doll plans and so little motivation, catching a theme here?

Date: 2009-09-11 16:27 Subject: I like the whole idea of this meme>> Security: Public

It's directed towards writers, and that's always interesting.

Play if you like!

I will answer in AM.


A Get to Know you Meme, for Writers

1. Your given name, include middle name if applicable.

3. Year of birth, what happened that year that you can remember?

4. Parents: Living or Dead, Divorced? Speak the story.

6. Books that had impact, particularly in your formative or puberty years. Name five that you remember.

7. Movies: name five from age 12 to 25 that had impact. Tell us why?

8. What people, had the most impact on you between the ages of 12 and 25, identify and tell us why?

9. Siblings? Tell us about them. What is your birth order?

10. Power model: cooperative, or power leader?

11. Extrovert or introvert?

12. Art: abstract, or realistic, expound…

13. Relationships. Troubled, why? Successful, why?

14. Favorite colors

15. Favorite music

16. Where, would you make your great escape to?

17. What dark place would you inhabit, for a day?

18. Rythym, or melody?

19. Art/writing as experience, or finished product?

20. Where do you want to go, as writer, or artist. What haven’t you freed, or touched.

21. Education: what was your major? College? Did it matter?

22. College professors that had impact: Give a description of them, and their course material.

23. If you were a writing teacher, what would you stress as important to learn?

24. Is proper language important as a writer, or is it fair to play with it? Example: ee. cummings.

25. What do you want to have done, written, created by the age of 50?

So here is the latest from camp "A"
doing Zags bullet idea.....

*I started a chat board for my favorite actor. Yeah, ya know who he is,. And it's been rockin". The man has really bright, and clever, creative women as fans, and it's fun to get to know them.

* wrapping my head around the fishy parts for Topaz, found some Shinydoll ears that will work if I can't get those shell ears.

* enchanted a bit by the new Soom Idealian guy. He has problems, but he's much more a vision of a muscled guy than the EID boys. He works for me better, so far. Time will tell.

*generally bored with my dolls, but no one is on the block for sale. I can't imagine selling anyone I have here. I am just in a lull place. No energy, no creativity, no nada, except fighting the heat.

*And, of the heat. I seem to be generating it all by myself. Damn, why hasn't some slick engineer channeled into how a woman's body makes heat, hormonally?? I bet we could fricken fuel LA if it was tapped.

* Re read Childhoods End, by Arthur C. Clarke. One of the FINEST novels ever written. For those of you in book clubs, pick it up, It's amazing.

*So in love with my Topaz. She is fantasy creature supreme. Can't wait to get all her water stuff. Ahh, what a creative breath that will be.

LuvNHugs to my dear ones,
