BJD Ruminations



So Harley has inherited Crow's wardrobe. But it's not like they broke up. It's more like they never met in the first place, not yet anyway. Not until he's been reshelled in a JID body, which won't be happening any time soon. So she's a single girl, attending university, spending time with the horses at the equestrian center and dreaming of true love. I like the idea of having her by herself right now. It'll give me time to concentrate on her and develop her character more, instead of thinking about her and Crow as a couple. It's weird because in the doll world, she and Emma are close, maybe sisters, but in the make believe world I've created, they don't really exist together. Emma isn't a character in my mind, she's a doll who I've turned into a character. Harley is different. Harley started out as a character, and then I bought her in doll form. I suppose Emma could be a girl she babysits for. And Sparrow, the pukifee, could be Emma's little sister. And the new girl, the LTF Lisa, (as yet unnamed) is a fairy that Emma and Sparrow met in the woods.


I'm doll obsessed right now. Well, more specifically bjd obsessed, although the American Girl Dolls are still getting a fair share of the attention right now.
I am obsessing over all of the girls' wardrobes, ordered two more wigs for Harley and one for Emma, and am ruminating over the decision to sell Crow. I almost took him off the DOA sales page, but as I was redressing him, he annoyed me all over again. I really like him as a doll: love his sculpt and his poseability, but he's so wrong for the character he's supposed to be. And since he's listed for sale, I'm obsessing about his impending sale: wondering how long it will take, if the price is too high or too low, will I miss him, etc etc.  Ack!
Does anyone know DDE's return policy if I end up not like the new wigs? I've never returned anything there and am not sure if I can. Thanks in advance. xoxo

  1. Harley looks very cute in the outfit she's wearing. She looks like an equestrian loving girl. :o)

    I love the name you have chosen for your PukiFee! She will have so much fun with Emma. They will make darling sisters!

    I know this is just my opinion, but Emma seems to exude a lot more character than Harley, but I think it's because so many of us have gotten to "know" Emma for a longer amount of time.

    Good luck with your sale of Crow. He is a handsome boy and surely someone will snap him up soon.

    1. Thanks Bama for all your positive thoughts and energy! I haven't really shared that much about Harley either through photographs or through writing. She's kind of like an alter ego for me, so I want to make sure I get her "right" before I share too much. But really, I think it's about her body. It's so much more cumbersome to pose and doesn't just move into position almost on it's own, like the LTF body does. I think I'm still worrying about breaking her, where I don't worry about that with Emma at all. It's fun because Harley's two new wigs came in today and I don't like either of them for her. It was almost as if as soon as I took her photo last night, I knew I had captured her true look.
      xoxo, Karlie

  2. I exchanged a wig at DDE once. They ran out of the color I wanted in the wig I wanted and substituted a different wig in the same color. I didn't like it and sent it back. They then sent me another wig (of my choice) without any problems. They're very easy to deal with. You shouldn't have any problems if you have to send something back.

    1. Thank you so much bjw. I'm glad to hear it's easy to return or exchange. I don't like either of the wigs for Harley, but I love love love Emma's new one. I'll return the two, and then pick out a wig for my incoming LTF, because I'm thinking the fullset wig isn't going to be a permanent one.
