When Pigs Fly
May 10th, 2008
I've had Alice since February, but I was so excited when I first got her that I neglected having an official "box opening ceremony" for her like I did for Ethyn and Dom. So, in an attempt to be fair to her and because her packaging is so cute (the real reason!) I decided to do a recreation of the event. This is all exactly how it happened…well, except for the fact that Molly (the little kitty) wasn't there at Alice's first box opening. But, she wanted to help and, as my real-life kitties know, I can never say "no" to a cat.

Recently, I had a doll that came home and then left about two months later. Meet Mano:

Warning: Doll Nudity
(This happened last Friday the 8th but I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to post these until now. He arrived in time for my birthday!)
Ever the curious guy, Ethyn is intrigued by a huge box on the dining table. Up until now, all boxes from Korea have been for him (clothes, shoes, wigs, etc.).
The Nameless One Arrives Home
May 24th, 2007
My first BJD, although the second one I ordered (Jace was ordered two weeks before the Hound), arrived from Iplehouse on Monday. To say I was excited is putting it lightly. The mail lady (who I'm now on a first name basis with since she's delivered so many EMS packages to me) said to me on Monday when I opened the door to her knock, "Is this him?" I clapped my hands and squeed, too excited to think that I might be embarrassing myself. She said, "When I saw the box in my truck this morning, I thought it might be your doll."
I promised I'd let her see him next time she delivered something. I knew the poor boy would be naked in the box so I decided I'd allow him to preserve some dignity and let him don his clothes and wig before he was called upon to meet people. Plus, I wanted to savor the moment of opening the package. He's my first ball-joint doll after all. I've waited a long time for this.
