New Momoko: Ambivalent Girl

You read the title of this post right.  The new Momoko out is called Ambivalent Girl.  Her description provided by Sekiguchi is pretty great too:

"She smiles like an adult, and the next moment she turns around and gets sulky.  Whimsical momoko doll changes her mood quickly like how cat's eyes change." 

She is 13,440 yen and will be available in August 2013. 

What do you think?  I can tell you I'm a fan of those silver boots and tattoo.

Waaa! Another wonderful addition to my BJD family is Bella the Moon by Peak's Woods. I'm calling her Lady Almathea, after Mia Farrow's character in The Last Unicorn.

She shipped as a full set, and I just love her unusual and almost ghostly face up. She's hauntingly beautiful.

My latest addition is Iplehouse Aria, white resin SID. She's got make-up style A, and she's just lovely.

Here, she's in an Iplehouse wig, and in the White Swan dress and bolero, and I think she's just wonderful.

You can see additional deboxing photos on Flickr.

Well, I've been a bit distracted lately. It happens. We're finally at the end of the school year, and the kids are home. My doll collection is in a dire need of a makeover!

I've finally received a much-anticipated ball-jointed doll from Iplehouse, EID Ashanti, in special real skin. She's even more gorgeous in person than I was originally expecting or hoping. Check out her photos on Flickr if you like.

Additionally, I've been going through my collection and leaning more towards a contemporary feel (if not more casual) for my dolls. That means, many of the costumes (historical and gothic, for example) have been making their way out of here. I also have been rethinking the Alice costumes, but I haven't committed to anything yet.

We've got IFDC (the International Fashion Doll Convention) coming up, and after that, the National Barbie Collectors Convention. Wow! I just can't believe how quickly things are happening.

Anyway I'll try to post more photos. I've been feeling much improved, at least health-wise--so lots of fun doll-events coming up soon.
