Today I set up a lightbox using some foam core and tracing paper left over from my architecture studio supplies. These photographs are the result, but I had a lot of problems with the lights, which left some of the photos looking slightly washed out. Also, since my DSLR is out being fixed, I'm left with a point-and-shoot Casio camera at my disposal （°へ°ａ；） It's not a BAD camera per se, but I'm much more used to being able to adjust everything manually rather than have things auto-focused and lighted for me. I'll also have to go pick up some lights soon; right now I'm using a very small economy bulb and my desklamp... ；；；

Since I did a profile for Puff, I thought I should do profiles for all the rest of my dolls as well since I don't have that many to begin with... Anyway, Puri is my oldest doll and the poor bearer of many beginner BJD owner/customiser woes. I got her as a MSD Ken kit since I wasn't a big fan of the way Mika looked in the official pictures and had a terribly difficult time assembling and stringing. And I think the very first thing I did after the initial horrible faceup was carve the eyes a bit and paint black upper eyelashes on them XD; It took me a good while to learn how to do faceups properly so poor Puri was stuck with many bad ones. I am very partial to her especially since she was my first and I learned a lot about painting dolls from her.

In other dolly news, I am thinking about getting MSD FCS at the NYC Dolpa if there are no limiteds that catch my eye. Most likely I will go with F-09. I wasn't fond of Hewitt's serious face and the F-09 is a cheerful alternative. However I am having trouble deciding whether I would like to get it on a girl suwarikko body so I can switch it with Puri's, or getting a boy body in Sunlight Skin. Both are equally tempting, but I am leaning towards the Sunlight boy since it is hard to get it here in the USA and I will not be going back to Japan in a while, or staying long enough to actually receive the doll (my mother is back there right now, so here's hoping she'll be able to get some of the Dolpa 17 outfits at the AE). Most likely I will wait until they announce the LE to make a final decision...

Also I am STARVED for pinky news! (°⌒°)

It's been officially spring for a while now, but I haven't had the chance to go outside and take pictures of anything until today! Unfortunately it's been raining recently so most of the flowers have already been blown away...

These bloom in the courthouse gardens every year along with Japanese cherry; I'm not sure what these are called though. Last year I took photos of my pinkies in the gardens, this year I decided to bring my BJD since I actually have a bag big enough to carry them in now.

I also ordered the Yo-SD Kitty Ear Coat Set (Boy ver.) for incoming Puff today at VolksUSA. I was expecting something as hectic as the Japanese and International After Events so I was in front of my computer VERY early! So it was a bit surprising to be able to get the outfit so easily without any lagging or server problems. I read later on that a bunch of things did get sold out very quickly later on and people were having items being pulled out of their carts during checkout. I'm really really glad I finally managed to get the outfit since it was part of the reason I was so drawn to Puff in the first place (^~^a;;) As of the moment, I'm not sure if I will be purchasing any of the Dolpa 17 items besides the black cat suit yet.
