bamboletta fever

one of the things that frustrates me is, they tend to look prettier irl photos than in their upload photos. lol. not that i would ever score on bigcartel though. the moon would be pink if i ever were to score one at retail. lol.

anyway, here are some of the dolls that i love with their irl pics for comparison. i conclude that my first criteria would be the hair, followed by the eyes, and freckles is an added plus =P.

i am glad i scored a 15" DFH instead of a 12". the size is rubbing off me, great huggable size =D (and sometimes when people refuse international shipping, that turns out to be a blessing in disguise).

here's Bluebell, old-style Bamboletta. she was a giveaway doll, which means she doesn't have a birth certificate. wish she came with her original shoes though T_T.


this one is Natalie. she has freckles!!! and i seem to love this kind of hair. i think if i only saw her upload photo and not her irl photo, i think i wouldn't even dream of buying her, haha. her original clothes were not helping either =P.


meet Pamela, the one that got away, sigh. i was so close, but the i wasn't in front of the PC at the time. i had just raised enough funds for her without me knowing it, so i guess she wasn't meant for me... for now. another freckled lady! see the hair resemblance with the pic above, lol. at least this one came in a much nicer outfit than Natalie, lol. doesn't help that her birthdate is the same day (26th August) as Dinara.


this one here is miss simpleton. i actually like her sweater. i read that it's a Nonna sweater? i think. i see alot of Nonna sweaters being bought like hotcakes in the doll community. maybe i can get Aida of Aidafiqs to sew one for Kami, hehe. if only the States was just a row boat away =P.


ok just posting them here because i've been saving each pretty dolly pic i come across then i forget who and where i got it from. lol.

speaking of temperature, Dayana's temperature is like a rollercoaster, up and down. she only just fell asleep (funny how the meds didn't konk her out). she's much more agreeable in taking meds, preferring to sit up rather than her lying in my lap. we saw the Dr. this morning (yay i'm ING covered now!) and she refused to even open her mouth for the Dr. to look at. siap jeling lagi. eksi betul. lol. hope she gets well soon. not sure where she got it from.
