Holiday bargains
While thinking of what I could ask for this upcoming holiday season, I came up things for my doll I can’t easily make myself, like shoes and wigs. Ebay star mimiwoo has a shop with some nice deals on MSD shoes, my favorites being the creepers just like mine which I’ve mostly seen on boy dolls, so they may run big, and the ‘green bamboo’ slip ons, which any teenager will tell you, ain’t really bamboo. Yes, they’re adorably cute little shoes printed with pot leafs! I’ve been eyeing those shoes before I even knew what size doll I’d be getting, they just too funny. Paired with a special-effects type eye it might bring a whole new meaning to glassy-eyed stare. Does your doll have habits you don’t approve of? On the next Maury…
There’s there pretty green eyes for $2.99, and these cute purple anime style eyes for the same price. Santa better get his lap over to the computer, I’ve got some sitting to do! If santa is looking for a ‘lucky bag’ they’ve got those too, the fukubukuro idea of mystery items that are a certain size in a surprise package sounds fun. Wonder if they’re putting good stuff in the bags, wonder if it’ll be a great surprise or just a good deal. It’s certainly a surprise, and I love a good surprise!
Jpop dolls is also doing fukobukuro lots, here’s the MSD girl size one. A pretty blue and black wig on their sales page might tempt me as well, something about curly wavy poofy hair on Loolu just looks soo right. The owner pictures of their multi-tone wigs always look much prettier than the website shows them as. Something about getting a new wig onto your resin darling makes for a bit of playing to get it ‘just right’. Multi tone wigs may take a bit more play to get the perfection, but the website photos don’t seem to do them justice. The sales wigs at Jpop all look nice though, their full price wigs are dreamy and worth a look too, but hey, this is a bargain-happy doll blog, I can’t advise my fellow clearance hounds to buy full-price, that’s what the alot of the other doll blogs are for! It’s free to lookthough, so go get your fill of dreams and pretty dolls at Jpop and Mimiwoo’s. You know what I’ll be drooling over…
So, to my own Santa-sweetie-darling: If you’d like to be brag-worthy in a way I can share with the other doll-dorks and get my girl stuff for the holidays; Loolu is an MSD sized doll, and she wears a 6/7 wig, a 14 or 16 millimeter eye, and you can’t go wrong getting a girl shoes for her resin MSD-size feet, they’re much easier to get the right size for than my human feet (8 in ladies, 5 and a half or 6 in mens, including Chuck Taylors). He’s a sweetie, he reads my doll-related gushings although I’m not sure how much of the doll-lingo has sunken in yet. Poor guy, he’s getting his payback for me vaguely knowing what a ‘lucky dog’ is in racing, he can hear about face-ups and wigs and shoes… Not an even trade-off, but I’ve got the bigger end of that stick so I’m swinging it!
