Because I am incredibly impatient and possessed of a credit card, I decided not to preorder a Doll Chateau adult male body in white resin, but instead get a whole doll, Cyril, in stock from Mint on Card. That was $100.00 more than I planned because the body comes with a head, but it also comes next week, as opposed to 2.333333 months from now.
While I was there, I checked for appropriate shoes and, lo and behold, they had the exact type of shoes I was looking for: calf-length black pleather platform high-heeled boots by Yuhao for $15.00! Great! Now I don't need to settle for approximately what I was looking for from Alice's Collections. I can get exactly what I'm looking for.
\o/ \o/ Cyril can be my clothing model while I wait for Jareth's head and eyes. Then I can sell him [Cyril's head]. Anyone want a Doll Chateau Cyril head, blank, in white resin?
EDIT: Looks like FedEx Ground [how the package is coming] takes 2-3 business days to get from there to here.

I was looking at those DC heads earlier, but I can’t remember if I liked Pierre or Cyril. Thank goodness I’m not planning on getting my 2nd bjd any time soon, heh. Smart move getting the head included. It’s nearly $130 on MoC, so offering it for somewhere between $100 and $130 will appeal to buyers. Semi-related, I just went looking for examples of Cyril on flickr and found this wispy beauty. I also like this one with dreads, but sometimes I think the doll’s outfit and wig biases me towards liking certain dolls.
Now, I’m off to explore Ringdoll’s website.
Yeah, if I were not experienced enough to sculpt my own damn head, I’d be eyeing the Doll Chateau adult male sculpts for their narrow, androgynous look.
Sometimes it seems like I find a new, appealing sculpt every other week. Dollclans Vezeto is my latest discovery. The Dollclans flickr pool has some great variations between each person’s doll, or at least it’s enough of a difference to make me double-check the name of sculpt.
Mmmkay, I’m gonna see about making a post about bjds that make me drool.
