Ghost of Empire

I feel bad that I haven't been updating this journal lately. Miss Charlotte and I are actually sharing a brand new blog here and I haven't been very active in the doll community lately, mainly because I've been focusing on other hobbies like Lolita, and because I feel I'm at a bit of an impasse, because Charlotte has a huge wardrobe of clothes.. and there's not much more she needs. I really want to get an SD, but I have yet to start seriously saving for one or decide which one I want. I really adore Anais.. but maybe it would be strange having two dolls with such similar faces? Part of me wants a BW F-01, and another part of me says get a Tiny. So I don't know, I'll keep thinking about it.

Miss Charlotte misses you all and hopes you'll come to visit at her new home The Princess Portal!

Miss Charlotte wishes you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Its been a while since I've posted because I have been without a camera, however I have just recieved a new one for my birthday so I thought I would take the opportunity to test it out! The camera I used to use (which belongs to my boyfriend) tended to over-expose everything, wheras this one tends to underexpose. Its a little hard to get used to, but allows me to take more mellow images. For anyone who is interested its a Canon A540. The most annoying thing is it takes AA batteries instead of having a rechargable lithium, so I can't get many photos in before they die.

This month's issue of Dollicieux is their anniversary edition, and sadly, the final issue. Miss Charlotte was honoured to be the Doll Spotlight, so please go check it out!

I thought I'd also share the full size images I took for the zine, another nursery rhyme series that required 7 seperate photoshoots! I hope you enjoy ^^

Miss Charlotte has something new to show you! I fell in love with this sweet SisterSister dress on Y!Jp and it was everything I had hoped for, not to mention she looks adorable in it ^_~

I've come to the conclusion that Miss Charlotte has far too many things and I have far too little money, so I'm having a small garage sale.

I'd like to offer these items to people on my friends list first, if they don't sell I'll be putting them up on DoA. All prices are USD, ask me about shipping. I accept non cc Paypal only from international buyers. So please help me clear out Charlotte's closet ^_^

Miss Charlotte might be getting a new face up by the talented Viya of http://www.innerblue.net !

She does eyebrows like Violet Poem's, and I simply adore them! Her lips and eyelining are quite striking too, I'm very excited about this!

Has anyone noticed the new wigs Leeke released? One of them looks exactly like Shinku from Rozen Maiden's. Curious, I went back through their wig selection and found other wigs that closely resemble RM dolls:

Shinku
Suiseiseki
Souseiseki
Hinaichigo
Suigintou

I couldn't find one for Kanaria or Bara-suishou. Wouldn't it be fun to create the RM cast with BJD's though? If one had the funds.. *daydreams*

If anyone is thinking of doing a Dollmore group order in the future, please let me know. I want to get this http://www.dollmore.net/shop/step1.php?number=1885

But I don't want to pay $20 shipping :/

She's here!

I'll write heaps tomorrow and post pictures, right now I'm just in awe *_*

Well, according to the EMS she's in Perth and scheduled for delivery. That means she should be getting delivered today. Due to unfortunate circumstances I'm at a different house to where she's getting delivered so I have to wait until 1ish and then convince my mother to give me a lift down there to pick her up.

Waiting is so hard!!! ;_; *looks at clock* 8:35 am ;.;

She's been shipped!

I've been thinking for a while that it would be fun to have a little Omukae ceremony when the new Miss Charlotte arrives. If I'd had the chance to order her in person at Sato I would definitely have liked to have a Volks ceremony, so I thought it might be fun to do something similar at home.

I'm comissioning a pretty white dress from the talented Stardust for her, and I think I'll try and make her some special jewelry for the day too. I was lucky enough to recieve a giant box of fake flowers from jasmine_flame for christmas so I can have a table overflowing with flowers to put her box on.

I've been trying to come up with ideas for the ceremony itself. I want something short and simple, not too cheesy. I thought maybe it would be nice to have the guests come up and say a wish for her, a bit like in sleeping beauty ^_~ and I like the candle thing Volks do. I wonder if I should ask someone to act as "doll priest" only they don't have to wear the robes *chuckles*

I hope the other Perth doll owners will be able to come ^^ there will be food!

Just a quick note to apologise for my lack of activity lately. See I'm waiting for Aimee to get two more Sato orders so she can order my f-06.. and looking at dolls is making me even more impatient ;_; I miss my girl.

*hugs*
