Halloweeeeeen

If you're feeling sad now that Halloween is over, here are some pictures I took last night of the girls in their Halloween gear :)

Updates

Since I've never worked up the creativity to write up really descriptive bios for all of my BJD, today I just sat down and thought about their likes and dislikes. Maybe eventually, this will help me write a little more detail about who they are, but for now, this will do.

My Mr. Super Clear crisis has been solved, thanks to Emory at Junky Spot. I usually get my MSC from Junky Spot, but they didn't have any listed on their website when I checked. I sent them an email, and Emory told me he still had some MSC flat and offered me a good deal on a 3-pack. Yay! :D Poor Brigitte was in the middle of her faceup when I ran out, so my table is a mess of craft supplies until I get the MSC and finish her.

Chase and Erica are currently wearing their default outfits for Halloween. I WILL get pictures tomorrow, I promise. They look super cute :)

Speaking of Erica, I'm thinking of changing her name. Mostly for arbitrary reasons - it just doesn't seem to suit her that well. I would still like for her new name to end in an "a" so there's some alliteration with her sisters Brita and Sabrina, but I've got a few other ideas, too:

Jayla
Elisha
Cara
Leah
Sasha
Keira
Emina
Alanna
Karina
Annelise
Morgan
Evan
Riley

I like the idea of giving her a boys' name. Or I can give her a silly, overly-fancy name that demands calling her by her initials, like RaeAnn Jocelyn/RJ.

Speaking of names, my Shiro definitely needs a new name, too. Now that he is FINALLY, after three years with me, getting his very own big-boy body, I can finally get to know him better as my dream boy instead of just a floating head ♥
Very excited. I made the first deposit on it this week.

Doll Meme

"A lot of us are yaoi fans, but how much do our doll collections really reflect that? List your dolls in whatever order you like, and state their preference and current object of affection, if applicable."

Tiffany found this meme and posted it on her LJ and I think it's interesting so I'm going to do it, too. I'm not a yaoi fan, although queer rights/issues are very important to me. Like Tiffany said, yaoi is too unrealistic for my tastes. (But I must say, it IS kind of refreshing to see yaoi fangirls FREAKING OUT over the sight of two boys kissing, as annoying as they may be. I get so sick of guys thinking lesbians = porno.)

Ambrose: Gaaaaaaaaaay. No partner at this time. Ambrose is very effeminate, but in more of a rock 'n' roll-emo-dude kind of way. Like the guys from Tokio Hotel, but actually out of the closet.
Mikey: Heterosexual. He's 14, too young to question it yet.
Jakob: Bisexual. Not exactly open about it.
Shiro: Heterosexual. Has the hots for Erica.
Damien: Open bisexual.

The little girls don't really apply here, but Erica and Samara are bisexual. Mika and Brigitte are heterosexual.

You know, Ambrose is the only one of my dolls who has been more than a blip on my (excellent) gaydar - for as long as I've had him, his character has been gay in my mind. With all the rest, I really had to think about it. I decided that Samara and Erica were bisexual because they seem like the kind of mature young women who are open to their options and have chosen to live as they want, as opposed to living according to social expectation.

Jakob and Damien are both quiet guys, although Damien is more in-your-face when it comes to certain things like sexuality. He's in a band... and rockstars like to do what feels good. Jakob has never given off a very heterosexual vibe to me, but I can see his character being interested in guys without really going for it like Damien does.

And Lilli... I have no idea 0.0

As far as my dollfies go, Dylan, my Volks N boy is your typical, skinny, fashionable gay dude. (Think Christian Siriano from Project Runway) My Placebo dolls basically run the sexual spectrum - Stefan is gay, Brian is bisexual, and Steve is heterosexual.

As for the girls, Sanmi and Lady Gaga are also bisexual. The real Lady Gaga has said that she considers herself bisexual, although her attraction to women is "purely physical" and she prefers men. As a bisexual myself, this saddens me a little. Really, who doesn't find women physically attractive? It's a bit of a cop-out in my eyes - either you're bisexual or you aren't. (You aren't, Katy Perry.) I wholeheartedly support sexual exploration, but given the stigma surrounding lesbians and bisexual women, I don't think it's necessarily fair to make out with girls for fun if you're not actually into them. That kind of behavior only perpetuates stereotypes like "bi women are just sluts, lesbians aren't real - they just haven't had sex with the right man, it's just a phase, blahblahblah."

So yeah, that meme stirred up some interesting thoughts in the ol' noggin for me.

...

So I was just beginning to work on giving Brigitte a new faceup when the worst thing that could possibly happen happened...
