Family planning (just for fun)

Dream of Doll
- Tender Too and Bee-a. Shelley and Ophelia, childhood sweethearts.
- Any sisters or brothers? Tender Shall, the kinky nun, as Anne Sullivan, Ophelia's governess.

Dollmore
- Dollmore Calvin. My darling child, Johnny.
- Older sister? Orlando Ray is fascinating, and she looks uncannily like Calvin. She's not too popular on the forum and people sand her nose down. Figures. Gets the same abuse as Calvin. But she looks like she would eat Johnny for dinner. The more I look at her, the more intrigued I become. That story. XD What a mystery!

Orientdoll
- Orientdoll Tae. My dear Irish Tarquin (I know Tarquin is not an Irish name...).
- Needs a companion (Tarquin is sort of asexual). Orientdoll has not developed their line very far. I love the clothes of Special Cheong, and of the girls, I like her face the best. There does not seem to be a single person on the forums with this doll. I am really glad I didn't get Special Tae's clothes. That would not have blended well with my doll family.

R&D
- Limited-edition Angel Karen. Dresden has had some health problems, but as far as I'm concerned, she's a part of the family for good. I have plenty of Super Glue left. The only problem is that R&D has changed their resin, and her relatives don't look like her anymore.
- The MenSajero have been sent from Heaven to be the angels' boyfriends (Well, on second thought, maybe not). Mensajero means "messenger" in Spanish. I just looked that up. That's really cute. Gabriel, my favorite, has a fuego version and a noche version. I wish I had taken Dresden with me to the BJD convention to see how well they matched. Gabriel looks darker than the other Mensajero, but of course, they may always release a tanned version, which would almost definitely match her. He looked great in person, and much more to her scale than Tarquin. Oh, look, the Mensajero are allowed on Den of Angels but not their female counterparts. XD

Bonnie the Beautiful Bride, a 1950's-1960's vinyl jointed doll from the Deluxe Reading Company

View my eBay listing here . Bonnie the Beautiful Bride is a 25" vinyl doll from the Deluxe Reading Company produced between the 1950's-1960's. I bought her secondhand a year ago, and she has since been displayed in my non-smoking home in a display case. I have pet cats and birds, but they have only been in the general vicinity of this doll. Bonnie wears an exquisite vintage bridal ensemble in ivory lace and tulle over a hoopskirt and panties. Her "fingerless" gloves, veil and bouquet are of the same lace and ivory color as her gown.    Bonnie has strawberry-blonde rooted hair and green eyes which open and close. Her arm and leg joints move but are slightly stiff with age.     Bonnie and her ensemble are in flawless vintage condition as far as I can tell. She comes with gown, hoopskirt and matching veil, bouquet and gloves, panties and plastic high-heel sandals. She will come in her original box, which is not in mint condition, but worn with age and marked ...

A cup of solace

Korean Gothic Imaginary

Today has been such a huge day for me, even though I haven't left the house and have just done work all day long. I went forward with emailing my prospective advisor about my dissertation topic on Korean literature, and he agreed to supervise this dissertation. Korean literature, and Hallyu 1.0, topics so important to me, will be legitimated as part of my scholarly identity. I feel like today is a kind of spiritual wedding day for my scholarly career (although the dissertation defense will more literally be that). My goal is to become a professor of Korean literature and that dream, as of today, is much closer. Almost fatefully, I happened to see this Soom Super Gem Girl sculpt that the vendor posted on Den of Angels. I was not in any danger of forgetting the elements of Korean imaginaries that make my blood run cold and my heart drop into the pit of my stomach. "Gross beauty," I have called it, but I really mean it in the nicest way.  A number of Edgar Alla...
