Peak's Woods Sky in new wig

Here is my Peak's Woods white skin Sky, who is wearing a brown London wig by Monique Gold. It's very mod, though I'm not sure she's happy about the bow.

Her outfit is a custom one-of-a-kind outfit by Nancie of Nankatts.

See more photos of Sky on my Flickr photostream.

Meet Wake-Up Cue

Wake-Up Cue, originally uploaded by alington.

Let me formally introduce you to Wake-Up Cue. She needs a real name. Though she looks a bit like Marie Antoinette, I already have an SD-sized doll name Mari. So--I was sort of toying with the name Georgiana (after the Duchess of Devonshire). But I haven't decided yet.

She's a large-bust, white-skin Peak's Woods BJD, with a special artist face-up, eyelashes enhanced with glitter. I still need to sand just a few seamlines, and she needs body blush (of course), sueding, and possibly to be strung a bit tighter. (She doesn't stand very well.)

The fabulous gown was included. (I had to take her home with me when I "met" her at the BJD meet yesterday. Ms. Cholong from Boutique Doll had her for sale. No, I do not want to "Boutique Doll" a recurring transaction, darn it!! Stupid Quicken, quit asking me that!)

I just adore her. She came with a different wig, but I think Lynea (by DollHeart) suits her better. Plus DollHeart also has a powder white one that would be totally cool as well.

See the rest of her first photo shoot on Flickr. I took outdoor photos this morning!

San Diego BJD Meet

San Diego BJD Meet, originally uploaded by alington.

I went to a BJD meet in my local area today. It was really fun. I was so excited to meet so many fun collectors and their dolls, and also to feel like I actually belonged to a group.

And... I left with a new doll. I've had my eye on one for a long time--a Wake-Up sculpt from Peak's Woods, and Cue was at the top of my list for the last year. And indeed, she came home with me. I couldn't pass her up in her one-of-a-kind Rococo gown.

You can see more of the doll photos on my Flickr Photostream. So many gorgeous dolls!

Dollzone Christmas Babies for sale!

Denver Doll is offering the Dollzone Christmas Babies, which were formerly exclusively a gift-with-purchase item only, for sale now, at a bargain price of just $99 for the blank doll, or $129 with a face-up. Mine is shown here (face up by me).

I believe I have the Baby Girl B, white skin, and she is only jointed at the shoulders and hips, but she's very tiny--only 8.5 cm (3.3 inches)--and she doesn't really require any other jointing.
