unfortunately, this colored a lot of october for me. i got notice my order was confiscated in early october -- the same week as some personal circumstances came up, too. i was so stressed out !!
so it was mostly a great doll month, but i was too busy in other areas to really enjoy it, sadly ! i was constantly worrying that my orders wouldn't come in or they'd get taken, too. but by the end of the month, things really picked back up.
for the record though, i still haven't gotten any replacement or refund on the order . . . everything is still pending -_-;;
despite my anguish, the sun still smiled on me & i got in my andinsky leather fit smoothly !! it's AMAZING, it's so well made, & it's made of ACTUAL LEATHER ??
this really made me appreciate the difference between sebastian & mikki, too. mikki has been a difficult doll for me to build & work on bc he feels less like my Pathetic Beloved Boy, but once i started dressing him in more sexy fits, that sly smirk just makes my heart swell. this was one of the first times i dressed him up & let out a genuine "KYAAA !" 
sorry sebastian, this outfit is mikki's now, hehe
i also did a small evening photoshoot in the yard with a very cute sebastian fit ! it's pretty simple, but he's wearing this tight ramone's shirt that just . . . really shows off his snatched waist. he looks so boyfriend. it's a dream 
AND BIGGEST NEWS OF ALL . . .
DARLING MIKKi'S BODY FINALLY CAME IN SAFE & SOUND ! i had my friend over & we did an informal shoot of all the dolls together ! i'm so happy to have our messy love rectangle complete. and it's been so much fun posing sebastian & mikki together. he always looks like he's a cat torturing sebastian, which is truly what i wanted.
so, mercifully, the month ended on a very happy note, & i am going into november feeling much lighter about doll thingz
yay ! my bday month ! which means lots of new clothes for sebastian from my loved ones ! my friend gave me a tiny kikagoods Past Life in Sicily boy, too !! & then my dollfriend maDE ME...A TINY PLAYBOY MAGAZINE...FOR SEBASTIAN??????? IT'S INSANE LOL my new favorite prop HAHAHA
i also got in a nice black tailored suit order, mostly meant for mikki, but i dressed sebastian up to look like a catholic schoolboy and it looked SO good on him i did a photoshoot, hehe
i've been unbelievably bummed out. i'm working on getting the items replaced or refunded. it also included some platform shoes i really was looking forward to & maybe even something i won in a giveaway on instagram.
just...gone. ugh T-T
so i've been pretty holed up, worried about all my other orders for a bit...
BUT GUESS WHO DID COME IN THE MAIL !
DARLING MIKKI('S HEAD) . . . HAS ARRIVED !
Now, it's just a matter of waiting for his body to come in soon ! he's just borrowing sebastian's body above lol.
despite my ongoing anxiety about my order, i did push myself to do at least one photoshoot this month ! it's based around a rosary i made for him recently. i went a little crazy editing it. i've nicknamed it "guilty"
meticulously arranged an incredible inagural shoot for the onlyfanz page. i had this idea for a true sebastian pinup outfit -- something along the lines of like, wonho's sexy football player look. i set up special lights, implemented some special prop photography, the whole thing.
my favorite detail: i experimented with covering my camera's lens with a purple sparkly gauze. i ended up with this stunning natural filter that gave sebastian this ethereal, soft glow. it's truly something special. i'll update when i upload them
but for now, have a preview ...
otherwise, for the rest of this month, i have been coding this site like a maniac ! i finally added a webamp player, made image galleries for all the shoots, & updated the profiles for sebastian & mikki ! Doll Hobby is Every Hobby..........
OH ! OH ! & i got mikki's FACEUP UPDATE from komorebi dolls !
HE LOOKS SOOOOO BEAUTIFUL ALREADY !! SEBASTIAN'S LIFE IS ABOUT TO RUINED !!!
what a great & busy month !
i got all kinds of used & new clothes this month. i ordered a nice y2k set that won't come in til next year lol...it's worth it for whoisuralice...
then, the gorgeous white derby shoes from xy studio i had been dying waiting for came in the mail ! & now that i had a black tie for sebastian i had to manifest a vision. i stitched him some arm warmers out of an old mock turtleneck my grandma had had. thus, i created him a kind of...avril levigne ? hatsune miku ? type fit
and, as is always my policy, when i dress him in a fit i love, i have to arrange a photoshoot for it ! this was also the culmination of a lot of props & setpieces i'd been gathering. my nickname for this one is "sebastian in y2kland" & it features chess pieces & CDs & ipods. i'm so excited to edit it to hell & post it in the next couple months
THEN !! my friend who owns ione & odette had a pool party birthday party !! and the first hour was DOLL SWIM ! she bullied me -- JK LOLLL she worked very hard to convince me to use floaties to put the dolls in the pool. i was so skittish but the shoot came out INCREDIBLY ! she was so smart for it. it ended up another 3 photographer shoot, and also our first 3 DOLL shoot ! ione, odette, & sebastian look so lovely poolside. i posted the pics already on insta, & they're next to be uploaded on the site
AND THEN !! i went to my first local doll meet ! everyone was so fun, & their dolls were all soooo pretty. it seems this is the first big local meet in a long time ! i'm really excited for more to come. it's a lot of fun to chat about dolls & see what kinds of styles & characters people gravitate towards. i invited my photographer friend to come along and photograph peoples' dolls too. it was such a good time !
here's some pics from the meet !
