Happy Eden Day :)

Yesterday was Eden's birthday. :)

Eden has been with me for 2 years now, she was my FIRST Volks Yo-sd and I actually got her off Ebay. The person selling her was leaving the hobby and I got her for a steal. At that time, I had no idea about recasts, but luckily, Eden turned out to be completely legit. Originally a boy, then ended up becoming a girl (albeit a very tomboyish one) because I was having a ton of trouble bonding with boys (I still have this problem, and up to now I only have one boy). After I got Asako and made them siblings, I had planned to change Eden's name to Akari, but somehow the name Eden remained stuck to her, and I still call her that (kind of like how Ducky is still called that, even now that she has a proper name!)

After the arrival of Eden, and subsequently her sister Asako, I developed a love for Volks sculpts (which I didn't really like before), and I ended up rehoming all my Soomlings and have been gradually amassing what my friends teasingly call a "daycare center" of Volks Yo-sds/Yo-tenshis. This morning, a new girl came home (more about her later!), that will be my 11th one, and I have another Yo-sd Elena coming along that I managed to snag from Volks' website from the recent Dollpa.

So anyway, happy belated birthday to my happy cross-dressing little bub <3

Here is the requisite picture of my little bub through all her transformations.

2 Years of Morning

The oldest of all my resin family, Morning has been with me 2 years now. She was the first doll I ordered directly from the company (most of my kids are second-hand), and I have never regretted it.

This year her birthday falls on Mothers' Day, which I must say, is very fitting, as she is mother to 3 beautiful children, the twins Asako and Yuuko, and their little sister Akari (Eden).

I've made a fair amount of changes to her over the 2 years she's been with me. End of 2012 she went off to Allemarthe for face-up, and then I tried several wigs on her until my friend VelvetTiger sent me this lovely Dollmore wig in salmon pink, which has been her standard wig ever since. Volks originally sent her to me with brown eyes, but I changed them to blue subsequently, and then again to green, which I think suits her best. Of all my resins, she is certainly the most elegant and beautiful (and the tallest!)

Happy Birthday gorgeous <3

Sweet sweet babe.

Happy Birthday Sweety! xoxo

"Aww, why is it raining on my birthday?"
Sorry Neru, I can't do much about the weather.

Lots of experimental and concept shots today. Especially the ones reflected in the black glass. Hope everyone likes them!

Happy Birthday Elune!

First things first, it's been a year Elune has moved into Chateau Miyana, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY sweetheart! I decided to do a little photostory for her. I kind of reshuffled which kids belong to who, but I haven't updated that yet on here. Anyway, Hiyori is now Elune's younger daughter. Don't they look sweet together? They have so much chemistry, I think I really made the right choice here!

These are the individual shots I took, after processing. I didn't use all of them because of space constraints, but I love them all!

And lastly, photos of the gorgeous birthday girl herself, in color and black and white. She always photographs so beautifully from straight on.
