Argilla!

Argilla has come home now, a gift from my friend!

She's an Impldoll Gela and an absolute CUTIE.

Pictures to come!

Falling in love and out again

I'm sure this happens to everyone, but what's funny is that I absolutely fell in love with Soom's Zinc White Archer and now... I don't like how he looks at all. I'm not a fan of the face shape or anything like that! I think what I liked was the centaur body, but really, that's it. 

I was also head over heels for Luts Kid Delf Nana and now... eh. There's something that puts me off about her and I'm not sure what it is.

However, this is probably a good thing, seeing as I still have several dolls that I want. Zuzu Delf Persi is still at the top of the list, followed by PeaksWoods Fairy of Bugs Lady Bee (Elena) and PeaksWoods Fairy of Bugs Punky Beatle (KC). I'm especially excited for the PeaksWoods dolls since the characters I have for them are a couple of cute little lesbians. There's a real lack of lesbian dollies, I think.

On another note, I've fallen for several of ResinSoul's sculpts, but only after seeing other people take pictures of their dolls. Their sculpts are absolutely lovely, but whoever's in charge of photographing the dolls needs to do a better job. Brush out the wigs! Goodness. Maybe they should open a section for people to post their RS dolls, no mods, no hybrids. It would do wonders for their company, I think. Not that I know much about business or BJDs.

In other news, Monster High and Ever After High are going to ruin me. Too many cute dolls. I need Twyla and Howleen and Abbey and Heath... Also Toralei and maybe the rerelease wave 2 Clawdeen oh god somebody kill me. 

Doll Diary

So I'm currently taking a class about making Android apps, which is pretty damn cool. So far, it's a lot of fun and easy to pick up, though I know that after a certain point, I'm going to be on my own and not be able to use the software that helps. Nonetheless, I had an idea that seems entirely feasible.

Upon reading up on basic "Things You Should Do When You Have a BJD" posts, I saw a lot of times that it's recommended that you keep some kind of doc with all your doll's information, from measurements and sizing to mods. Totally practical and totally smart!

Now: What if there was an app that helped you keep track of that information? Just whip out your phone and bam! You have all the information on your doll plus a picture! I, for one, am terrible about remembering measurements and numbers and whether something's in inches or centimeters.

I pitched this idea to the Ohio ABJD group on facebook and so far, people have taken a liking to the idea! I went ahead and made a mockup in HTML/CSS.

Mockup here @ GlassNight

I plan to make it an option for people to be able to change the "skin" of the app (I'm sure not everyone wants something cute and pink) but for now, that's basically what it would look like and how it would work!

I hope to be able to make an option that all your data is automatically backed up to your Google account or something like that, but that's thoughts for the future.

Any suggestions or comments are absolutely welcome!
