Frances, Volks Super Dollfie Cute Kaede (2019)

Name: Frances

Maker / Sculpt: Volks Super Dollfie Cute Kaede, released at Dolls Party 11 on August 1, 2004.

History / Reasons for Purchase: Purchased from Dollyteria. I purchased her in part to provide a body for my Super Dollfie Cute Kurenai. However, when I saw a SDC Kaede listed on Dollyteria with original face-up and all of her original box, paperwork, clothing, accessories, and wigs, I couldn't pass up on the chance for the price offered.

Date of Arrival: October 4, 2019

Age: 15

Eye color: Dark blue

Hair color: Tawny blonde

Flower: Chamomile, peace

Gemstone: Sapphire, strength

Animal: Red-tailed hawk, guardian

Major Arcana card: The Fool, beginnings

Loves: Country life, diners, pie, ice cream, antique and resale shopping, poodle skirts, 1940s and 1950s ephemera.

Background: Frances has a friendly, open personality. She isn't linked to any of my fictional characters, but instead, lives in my present-day location, and so experiences the local rural surroundings.

Since she wasn't a doll whose character I developed before her arrival, I'm waiting to discover more about her character after spending more time with her.

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.

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 ...

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...
