Dark Dollhouse

Very late Happy New Year!

Been having a bit of a break from my dollies during December, something called Christmas came in the way ^^

Unoa Chibi’s arrived right before New Year, they cleared customs in less than 4 days?!! Amazing. Unfortunately they did not escape the ransom fee an auch was that a big one this time.

So, actually only put them together last weekend, no sanding or anything as the weather was just to cold to be outside.

Was planning on giving them some faces this weekend but guess what, it has now decided to pour down instead of snowing! So much for that brilliant plan.

Guess they will just have to be faceless for their first meet next weekend… But they got nice lovely hair that I bought in Mandarake in Tokyo so at least they will not have to make do with the fur wigs they came with.

And hubby have taken over the desk area so no new clothes either.

Sad welcome – I will have to do better lol.

Woohoo! I finally pulled myself together and opened an Etsy shop a while ago and made stuff to sell and today I finally put it up for sale ^^

Was picking up my PUKIs outside the Erotica show in London over the weekend and decided that I might as well go in and have a peek.

Not really a dollie venue, if you disregard the blow up kind of which I actually saw none lol, but the setting was just right for the naughty ones ^^

I did not bring any of my own so enjoy MauMau’s , Raven’s and Mich’s little naughty darlings.

Right, finally got around to ordering the new Chibi Unoas on almost the last day of the ordering period.

Now I just have to pay ><
Think Crescent need to send me an invoice…

My poor credit card will need CPR after Tokyo and now this lol

Christmas is definitely going to be on a low, very low burner this year.

Went to Tokyo for the first time in my life and one of the main reasons to go at this time of year was to see the Dollshow.

Was planning to meet up with a DOA member but unfortunately her cat got sick

So, would have liked to bring hubby along inside but we could not find anywhere to park our suitcases at the station so he had to sit watch. Thank you!

It was slightly disappointing, not sure why, but maybe it was because I was really jetlagged and could not really take it all in + the fact that I don’t speak any Japanese at all and most there spoke no English at all. So having a chat with stall holders were out of the question. There was lot of bowing though and smiling which was pretty cool ^^

Best thing about it was the Araki stand. Seeing Unoa stuff for sale in real life instead of just online was really surreal. Did not buy anything though as I got a tonne of unpainted stuff floating around so could not justify it, although it was very very tempting, no shopping service fee and no customs! Wauw.
And asked the nice lady at the stand if I could either steal or buy one of the Chibi Unoas but for some weird reason she said no??? Odd woman!

Oh, and was great to see all the vinyl dolls there, so tempted to buy some Momoko but did not. Just would never use them for anything at all other than look at, which I guess is not a bad thing but one has got to prioritise ^^

All pics from the Dollshow regardless of quality lol here..

The 2nd floor – this was where people could bring their dollies. There were mostly Dollfie Dreams there but did see a few resin girls and boys as well.


View of one of the floors – there were three this size! It was absolute massive.



There were soooo many cute Dollfie Dreams there





Loved this one with her very own Dollfie Dream ^^

And loads of Momokos on display and for sale *dribble* I wish I had endless amounts of cash and space *sigh*






These were slightly strange, lifesize dolls – slightly creepy in a cute kinda way…

When only being used to seeing clothes for sale in virtual reality then seeing it up close in real life was rather surreal, and there was loads of surreality around for sure.


Another surreal thing was these trays with heads in them. There were people sitting discussing them and examining them at tables next to them. Not sure what that was all about? Looked a bit like stamp collectors to me spotting minor differences in otherwise identical moulds and paint jobs.

Some fantastic wings for sale

There were loads of Pullips and Blythes as well, so cute, ended up buying some mini ones on my last day in Tokyo – could not withstand the cuteness although I have no idea what to use them for ><





These were interesting – silicone dolls with no visible joints. They looked a little eerie with no faces though…





Mamma Chapps were completely sold out when I arrive which was late afternoon. Shame, would have loved to get one for myself as well as a forum friend. Oh well, next time I will not arrive on the same day of the show





There were quite a few Soom dolls hanging around the place




Not sure who these girls were but sexy ^^



These were interesting, not sure who they were either. Took a picture of the brand name, have to check it out.



Araki stand!!!

Getting over a cold so was a bit on the tired side today.

Arrived around noon and walked up and down and found no-one So had a rest on a bench watching all the cos players walk by.

Darth Vader and his stormtroopers walked by a couple of times with a couple of siths on on tow.
And a couple of Yoko’s who, I am really sorry, looked far from right. Did see one later on that was more like it so that was cool.
Lots of free hugs and kisses available as usual and the predator and alien team.

After watching the crowd for around an hour had another tour and found the group ^^

Was good to meet people from Rezindolz that I had not met before.

Badness was not so bad today, why not? LOL
Maybe because of less crossdressing men

Oh, and introduced the dolls to a nice girl and her dad and gave them my card so if you are reading this, hello ^^
If you got any questions, feel free to send me a mail.

All pics here. Bit of adult content. Be warned..

My new vinyl girl from a manga I don’t know – just thought she looked cute. Think she will be called Striker as the manga has something like that in the title. And Yoko in her new swimsuit.

Pretty new face

Mauzi got back!

Only, and it turned out crappy, pic of Cinnamon ><

Raven’s unruly pair

Another pretty new face

Hello Kitty!

Pumpkin King Archie.


Super cutie

Krowbar’s creations

The theme for today was Alice in Wonderland and I made Yoko the Queen of Hearts and Sasara Alice. I was planning on making Cinnamon the rabbit but I ran out of time so now I am stuck with some checked ribbon >< Oh well, I am sure I will find a use for it at some point.

As always the badness took hold at the end of the day but most of the day was good clean family fun

My commission fitted fine btw so yay!

And got rid of a pair of boots that I had been lying around for a year without being used so another yay!

Oh, and sold a dress ^^

Was asked to do a commission for some underwear for an Alice outfit for next London meet by MadamMauMau of DOA. Theme is Alice in Wonderland.

Turned out pretty well, first attempt on the petticoat was a bit on the huge side though so had to reduce it.

Materials used for the top petticoat and bloomers is a cotton poplin and a cotton/polyester broderie anglaise lace.
For the bottom petticoat a tulle fabric and polyester lace.

Got the fabrics in John Lewis but had to find the trims online. Will be doing all my shopping online for trims from now on after the very useless selection that is to be found in central London stores open on a Saturday. Not worth the time spent looking. Also, it’s cheaper too ^^ Same with fabrics too.

Now, on to my own stuff…

I have been bitten by the Dollfie Dream Bug ><

Managed to stop myself from buying more Unoas with the reasoning that basically they are all the same two head moulds in different faceups and with different outfits; I do not have that option with the Dollfie Dreams unfortunately and they are so speaking to me – most of them anyway. So difficult to choose among so many!

And now there is two new ones coming up for official sale end of October! Where to store them all? I seriously need to consider selling the less played ones to make room for new ones. I just really hate to do that because it is not that I don’t like them anymore, they just don’t get the same attention as they used to.

Somehow I kinda wish I had never seen Yoko – all her fault ^^

OMG!!! I actually won the Dolpa lottery for Sasara! Just paid so she should be on her way well, next week?

So nice to actually buy a doll at retail price for a change instead of having to line a third party’s pockets.

Can stop stalking YHJ! now
