Gabby, who is with me for over 3 years already. Sometimes I don't realise that time does pass that fast. And I missed Dennis's character birthday this year, but I don't know. Maybe I should just skip taking photos of them on that day anyway, since I don't actually celebrate other than taking a photo. Which isn't much of a celebration. :/

The sadder thing than not celebrating Dennis's birthday is I don't remember the birthdays of my other dolls, besides Gabby, and I'm kind of unsure for the twins and Nat (can't  remember what's the date I decided on in the end), and for the rest of them, they don't have birthdays yet, cos I've not decided.

Tiyana's box opening

Came home today and saw the postman at the lift. He wasn't holding anything, so I figured that someone was home to receive my parcel. When I got home, I was surprised to find that the eyes I ordered arrived too, even though the tracking didn't (D:).

The eyes on the left. I got Hew and Sion new eyes though it doesn't seem that different in photos, but the colour in real life is quite different. Don't really have good photos to show though. But on to the box opening, which is more exciting, eh?

Photobucket
You can't really see it here, but there's 3 blocks of foam around the brown paper box to keep it in position within the outer shipping box. I'm really happy that Elfdoll has such packaging cos it's much easier to remove than bubblewrap. I took so long to go through bubblewrap for my other heads last time. Haha.

And see, even without bubblewrap everything is in good condition. :D

Foam.

More foam under the layer of foam previously.

And finally, Tiyana!

Since I don't have any female bodies, I took the skinniest boy body I have (Fdoll, aka Jack's body, which is quite funny cos Jack is Tiyana's character so it's quite appropriate that she's borrowing his body. For some odd reason. ;D), found some other foam (not the Elfdoll ones, haha) and taped them into some boobie shape, then stuck them under the shirt. The grey thing in the photo is actually a scarf (that's super wide), held together by a butterfly clip I sometimes use for my hair. And Tiyana's borrowing Kris hair. The only thing that is hers are her eyes, really. But I guess it's pretty innovative? Haha. Honestly I just wanted photos of her.

Now I need to commit myself to saving up for her body. Or not. :/ I guess I will, cos having a girl in the house is so much more fun than all boy dolls.
It would have been better if I did something like this near Halloween. Haha. As it is, I was just playing around with photoshop.

On another note, Tiyana's head (ED Vivien) is already in Singapore, so she'll reach me pretty soon, I think. :D

Oh, and I deleted the cbox cos it was getting filled with spam. Oh well.
