One month per year, Tahlvin (DS IM Hound) must serve at the Elven Court. As you can tell by his grumpy face, it's not his most favorite thing to do (but then it's rather hard to tell with Tahlvin since he always looks grumpy). Within the past year, Tahlvin's brother Hale (Soom Tremo) became the court's bard. Hale has actually really been enjoying his new job. Thane (Soom Sard), the Lord of the Court, is considering making it mandatory that more of his subjects have to serve at court—he likes being able to talk to new people (it can be lonely being the Lord).

I really need to take some better pictures of the outfits the boys are wearing. They all look so handsome in their Nezumitoo (from etsy) coats.

Here are a some pictures of Brandee and Tahlvin that I took a few weeks ago especially for their face-up comparision mosaics.

Here are the rest of the mosaics showing my dolls' face-ups from their first to their most current look.

Note: As I was putting Tahlvin's mosaic together, I realized I hadn't taken a picture of his new face-up yet despite him having it for almost a year now. I had to take a special picture just for this mosaic. *hangs head in shame* I've made it a personal goal to take more pictures of my dolls in 2012.

A lot is happening on the doll front even though I've been neglectful of taking pictures lately.

» I sold Caroline (my Minifee Woosoo Vampire Elf). I fully intended to replace her with a normal skin version of the same doll (since I coveted Selene, my sister's Woosoo, who has normal skin) but instead I started seeing owner pictures of the new Minifee Chloe that just started arriving about a month ago and fell in love. So…

» I ordered a Minifee Chloe (not the full set though; I got her a la carte). You can see some really pretty owner pictures of her (the last 15). I'm hoping she'll arrive here by mid-December, but I've heard that Fairyland is kind of behind on orders right now, so she may not get here until next month. I can still hope though!

» In other Fairyland news, they are getting ready to release a new 65cm line of dolls. I've fallen for the elf girl. I think she's gorgeous! There are only preview images so far because the line is not set to launch until December 15th, but I love what I've seen of her so far. I won't make my final decision until she is for sale, but I think I've convinced my husband that I should get her for Christmas. ♥ I wonder if she'll come with the tattoo arm? That would be cool!

» Also around mid-December, Kaylee, my Minifee Shushu, will be sent away to Meggilu (you can check out a portfolio of her custom work here) to get a new face-up. I love her current one, but I thought she could use a refresh. Since I've gotten Kaylee, her personality has change a lot and she's matured from an innocent girl into a confident young lady so I want a face-up that better represents that.

» Brandee, my Limhwa Elly, came back from getting her face-up, but she fell off a shelf and ruined it so I've had to send her back. 🙁 I felt like a total idiot. I hate when I ruin a face-up even if it is an accident. I feel like I destroyed a work of art, which I guess I did. It makes me nauseous just to think about.

» Tahlvin also got a new face-up by the lovely and exceptional SDink. He looks amazing! I'm still trying to find the perfect wig for him though. He's really picky!

This is getting longer than I'd planned so I'm going to split this post into two. Next post will deal with playline dolls that have sucked me in. 😉

Warning: NSFW because of naked doll

Brandee was my second character to get tagged by one of my friends. So, I compiled a "10 Facts about Brandee" list.

It gave me a great excuse to take some pictures of her since she's now fixed (when she first arrived, her ankles were broken). And then, next week, she's also heading off to get a new face-up so I wanted a chance to chronicle her current look. Also, I got to photograph her in some pretty lingerie that my sister bought my dolls for my birthday. 🙂
