AE Yara – Wig Woes

yarawigwoesThe wig I ordered off of a very nice seller on DoA arrived today. It’s a really nice wig, BUT…..It doesn’t fit my AE Yara!!! D: This is the second 7/8 wig that I’ve tried that does not work with my mini AE Yara. The first one I figured the problem was that it was old and cheap, but this new wig is a very nice Volks wig. I measured both of my wigs and they both measure exactly 7 inches. The mini Yara head measures just a scootch over 7 inches, so in theory these wigs should work, but they do not.

I posted about my woes in the AE mini thread on DoA, and it was suggested that I find wigs made for Unoa. So now, in my last ditch effort to have a decent wig (cause I’m out of money), I ordered a 6/7 Jpop dolls wig that was advertised as fitting Unoa/Narae so I am keeping my fingers crossed that when this wig comes in that it will work. According to the advert this wig also stretches to 7.5 inches, so I think I should be safe……*fingers crossed*

In other news my Dolly Dolly Volume 16 shipped yesterday, but shipping was a bitch. XP Still though, I’m looking forward to my new book.

Good Dolly Find – Barrettes

dollyfindExcuse the bad photography, but today when I was in Target I found a nice set of 8 mini barrettes the perfect size for MSD and SD dolls as well as Pullip. 😀 You get an assortment of colors all for only $1.79 per pack, so they are a very affordable accessory. I found these over in the health and beauty section by the brushes and headbands and such. I don’t imagine you could find anything smaller in the baby section, as you can see from the pic, that these are pretty tiny.

Happy shopping! 😉

Still Waiting

I’m still waiting for my new doll. I think the Fedex package tracking system is both a blessing and a curse at the same time. I’ve known since I woke up this morning that my doll was loaded onto a delivery truck at 6:27am. It is now 2:27 in the afternoon! How weird that the minutes on both of those times are the same….creepy really. Anyway I would have expected her to be here sooner, but at this rate it looks like it will be close to 4-5pm until she arrives, as I’ve noticed from ordering things in the past that if the Fedex truck isn’t around the ‘hood before noon, then it isn’t going to be around until close to dinner time. :p

Strangely enough, I don’t remember being this obsessed about the arrival of my first doll. Maybe it was because I was busy with work so time passed faster, and maybe I didn’t torture myself with looking over “arrival threads” and other such nonsense in the interim. Or possibly it could even be that now that I know more about BJDs in general it is much more exciting. Whatever it is though, it is torture!

Waiting on a New Doll

I ordered a new MSD size Asleep Eidolon Yara doll over the weekend at Mint on Card.  I got confirmation that she shipped today and that she should be here by Wed if the Fedex tracker is telling the truth.  I had intentions of getting a girl SD13 sized doll next to be a companion for my DIM Danbi, but the 60cm dolls are still outside my price range at the moment.  Because the Asleep Eidolon MSD are going to have a new body type, Mint on Card is discounting all of their old, slim style doll bodies, which was a big factor in affordability for me.  Also I rather like the slim body, so I am glad I was able to snatch one up before they will no longer be available.  Anyway I am looking forward to getting my new doll, and I shall have to snap some pictures when she arrives!
