Actually these “stories” are turning into a novel of two Asian-American families being brought together through two of their children — Yumiko and Zetto — falling in love. It’s slow going but it will be good, hopefully. It’s nice to be able to generate something creative out of silly things like dolls. Who knows what will happen with this writing?

And wow lol how do you remember all these stories XD

I was going to order some parts for my Obitsu 60cm 2-piece/55cm hybrid boy. Sent Emory a few emails. Lint in my in-box and the sound of crickets chirping. Had to get the needed parts from Parabox.

Then, with the Namiko project, I emailed Emory. Quite a few times. Again, no response. (headdesk)

And here’s the last reason why my change of heart. I’m putting together a doll meet in Torrance at the Mitsuwa Marketplace, a huge Japanese market. They have a super food court with plenty of room for Doll people to hang out. We’re going to get together on March 6th, in honor of Hina Matsuri, the Doll Festival.

After the meet we’re going to carpool it to Volks Tenshi no Sumika. And that’s when I’ll pick up Namiko. That will mean her “birthday” will be March 6th. Yumiko’s backstory birthday is March 1st, because my friend Chad, who was the original person pwn3d by her, bought her at Volks on March 1st, 2008. And the backstory location of where Namiko lives is Lawndale, CA, which is a neighboring city to Torrance.

Namiko will be “born” on Hina Matsuri. Cosmic, d00d.

MDD with the Kips mod, DD01 head. Type D “Apricot” brownish or Type E “Shikkoku” grey eyes. I can wait for Emory to get it together or I can just visit Tenshi no Sumika in Torrance, CA and pick her up. So nice to have a Volks store within a short driving distance! And I love the people there. Good people. Good times. Set for taking piccies of your Dollfie.

Lizz aka Biff is relishing the thought of doing a DD head faceup.

Actually I’ve seen modded DDs and Obitsus that have been shortened. There’s this one woman who shows up on boards I frequent who modded her Obitsu boy to be a bit shorter than his original 60cm height…he has some of the same hacks Zetto has, but more extreme because she physically altered his thighs to lose a little height.

Obitsu people tend to do more modding because all the parts are available for purchase. It’s not like Volks which has spare outer vinyl parts but no spare parts for the DDIF2 skeleton. More dolly-hacking friendly. ;)
