It always makes me happy...

...when I see someone found my blog through a relevant google search. The reason I even have this blog is because I've found so many of the answers to my obscure doll-related questions on doll blogs. It might be a post written years ago, on a blog that hasn't been updated since, that has a photo that just so happens to show that particular angle of that particular doll I needed to see to figure out if, say, a rebody would work. That's why I sometimes get a bit obsessive documenting every aspect of my rather mundane thrift store finds: you never know, someone might be looking for a pic of that very doll! - Or they might not, but in that case at least I got some practice with the camera, so it's all good.

In more doll-related news: today I got my first full-scale Obitsu delivered! Full-scale may be a bad choice of words, since they come in all kinds of sizes, but within 1/6 scale that's how I think of the 27cm body as opposed to the 21, 23 and 25cm. I have two heads that have been taking turns on the 25cm body I got about a year ago, but now they both have their respective permanent homes. No photos today because apparentlyg I forgot it gets dark at night and I still haven't got a good set-up for doll photography, but I figure the 27cm Obitsu is probably one of the most well-documented dolls out there anyway.

Just swapping shoes around to see what fits who (whom?)...

Yay shoes!

I found the Only Hearts Club sneakers again, the ones with the pink shoelaces that stain - and of course they fit, and look ridiculously good too. I should try to find a OHC fashion set with white shoes, before I'm tempted to endanger DeeDee's new feet too... Maybe I could cover the inside with tape or something?

The pink Super Model shoes acually fit Obitsu really well - a bit of a surprise since they have such small feet, but the straps keep them in place. It seems to be very much hit-and-miss whether other dolls' shoes will fit Obitsu: one pair might look fine while another for the same doll looks very awkward, just because the ankle strap had a slightly different shape or something.

They even match her dress!

Let's just hope these don't stain too...
(Also I'm trying to figure out a better way to include pictures in posts.)

...and how to take better photos to being with.
