Doran photos! Plus I broke my toe.

I took photos of Doran today. :] I'm pretty pleased. I'm not GREAT at photographing white-skin dolls, but for the most part I haven't completely obliterated his features.











The last one is my desktop wallpaper now. :]

And in less pleasant news I discovered today that I had dislocated and broken my pinky toe on my left foot. I think I did it at work on Monday, cause I can remember slamming my foot hard, into several stationary things, on my way out. I didn't really discover it until today when I was out with Osaka. Tuesday I had a rather nasty migraine and didn't move much at all. Wednesday, I was quite ill still, and barely moved.

Today when I got home from adventures with my BFF, I realized I was in rather more than the usual foot pain, and discovered my toe was dislocated. I popped it back into place, and after feeling it further realized it was also broken. So.. yeah. I was moving around on a dislocated toe for 2 1/2 days, and didn't realize it because I ignore foot pain. My feet ALWAYS hurt. e_e;;

The drama. Like so many others, I just want to play with my dolls. That's it.

My Littlefee Leah who is on layaway. She has no name yet, but I'm feeling out her personality.

Ordered Mom's birthday gift! 8D

Well as of yesterday, before work, I have ordered my Mom's birthday gift. Most of ya'll who know me, know that I have wanted to buy her a doll since I got my first, Ro almost five years ago. Mom said no birthday gifts this year, but really, I had to. It's not about what I want in return, I just want Mom to love this doll, and I'm happy that I'm in a place I can give her something she wants.

When I inquired last week, I had a doll from a different company in mind, but Mom had one she had been pondering, so I went that route. I've ordered via Denver Doll Emporium on layaway, a Pukifee Ante, with faceup, wig, and an outfit, so she can be played with straight out of the box.

For myself, I knew I wanted a little girl to spoil as my princess. I thought a Littlefee Lishe, but when it came time to actually placing the order, I went with Littlefee Leah. :]

Mom gets her Hutzpah(sp?), and I get my little girly girl to wear the frilly dresses, with all the ribbons and bows and lace, that my current girl dolls (Jessie and Moonbeam) do not.

For the ignorant, here in order are, Pukifee Ante, and Littlefee Leah. :]



I don't know who exactly my little girl is, but I know she needs lots of frilly dresses. @3@
