-[18/11 Update]-

Blog update 18th November 2013

Hi readers!

I'm happy to announce that my MNF Celine is coming home this weekend!!

*fingers crossed!*

I'm really happy, and today I thought about forgetting all about it and enjoy myself. Turns out that the moment you stop caring, things come!

It really isn't easy to find your perfect match. Honestly my opinion comes from me, I mean if you don't agree with it, it's fine with me too :) disclaimer said.

As a newbie, it took me a long time to make a decision to buying Celine. I've looked at Dream of DollLUTSVOLKS, Azone, and IPLEHOUSE.

I had trouble choosing between LUTS Senior Delf Kara (Kara gave me that Megurine Luka feel, no idea why! maybe her outfit reminded me of Luka's Sandplay of Singing Dragon! LOL) over FairyLand's MNF Celine.

This is Senior Delf Kara:

My boyfriend was eyeing on MNF Ante though, she's got the baby face features which makes her so adorable. For me, I don't quite fancy these 'pissy looking faced' or 'somewhat serious' dolls, Ante's default faceup gave me that impression of a 'tsundere girl'. It might be the way how her faceup was done. Nonetheless, she's still a lovely girl :)

I don't know anyone that does commissioning for faceups, so I didn't want to take the risk of buying a doll without her faceup. Better safe than sorry eh?

I was looking for a doll who has that 'innocent', 'sweet' and 'shy' look.

That's when I came across Celine, and I fell in love with her! I love the way how FairyLand gave her the feel of 'sweet elegance' yet 'sexy'. For some reason, the way her face was sculpted impressed me beyond words, how could a doll look both sexy yet innocent at the same time? That's when you look at this.

It's hard to find MSD dolls that have that 'matured' edge to them just like an SD doll except they are younger.

$ Price $ wise, I couldn't do the VOLKS. VOLKS dollfies have more of that anime feeling compared to realistic looking. I enjoy both types, but I'd personally love the more realistic looking ones such as DoD (they were probably the ones I've been admiring since years ago =w=)

For me, I'm thankful that MSD is a perfect size for me. I don't think I could handle an SD girl :)

It all comes down to these very few things for someone who is looking for their first BJD:
  • The sculpt
  • The size (SD? MSD? YOSD?)
  • Your budget (if any)
  • Your heart 
and Remember! Don't buy a doll because it's a 'trending must-have'. Don't buy a doll so that you can look 'cool' at your peers and lastly, don't buy a doll when you can't take care of them!

oh and try not to buy a RECAST. you're not only paying for something that is not original, you are supporting an illegal act, you not only do harm to the original sculptor, you also feed the industry who's doing it!

if like-minded people are to continously support recasts, what will happen to the BJD industry? They will lose out to recast companies and will close down ! :( This is the worse possible outcome that will come out from it.

Give some respect to the sculptor, if you appreciate and  their work, support them by buying their work!

Much love,
-Miwako-

-[14/11 Update]-

Blog update 14th November 2013

Hi my little readers!

So it turns out that since 7th November (the day my order status for my MNF Celine had changed to "Before shipping"), I've been oh-so thrilled to see her coming home that I literally go on to my FL account to check my order status the moment I wake up and before I go to bed. However, FL being FL, my fire of excitement had died out today.

The order status hasn't changed since,
I don't want to push FL with Celine, all I want is for Celine to reach home safely in good condition. All this waiting is driving me nuts. I have also bought a pair of cute over knee lace socks and patent/shiny black lolita shoes from kneko for Celine, I got worried over Celine's feet getting stained from the sole of her shoes, it's black. It's really hard to find MSD stuff that are being sold second hand here, most people here prefer SD sized dolls over MSD, not saying that there aren't any MSD owners out there in Malaysia, for one I know someone called kitty who owns MSD dolls :3 and my other friend nino too, not to forget kneko as well :)

About my hair color review, I'm ditching it, I'm sorry guys but the color really didn't come out that obvious. So I might choose another color sometime later, or get stubborn and force my hair to turn chocolate brown eventually. Till then, no more hair dye review.

The update is rather short for today, but that's probably about all I have to say for now.

Much love,
-Miwako-

A story about a girl named Celine ❤ and other BJD related thoughts

Hi my little readers!

I actually did a write up on Celine in one of my facebook notes sometime back and I figured out that I wanna publish it out on my blog here for any dolly owners who loves to read up on BJD stories.

Feel free to read it if you haven't read it yet :)

✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽

**edited on 26/11**

Just a general story about Celine, my FairyLand Minifee girl.

Name: Celine
Age sixteen in the year 2013.
Date of birth: 26/11/1997
Horoscope: Sagittarius ❤
Blood type O, Fairy Girl (fee means fairy) living the luxurious life of a wealthy human bishoujo (pretty girl in Japanese).

Gifted with music from birth, she enjoys music of every kind but her most favorite is classical and jazz music.
She loves to play the cello.

For the most part of her life, she attends a prestigous, all girls japanese school.
She's just an average student, enjoys the company of others. 

Although Celine is in the care of a wealthy family, she always helped the stray on the streets on her way home. Sometimes, she'll come home with her uniform dirty :O

Not to forget the boys outside of school that catch a glance of her from afar, though not a single one has really attempted to make friends with her (this i don't know, probably a silly reason to not-spend-anymore-to-getting-another-boy-BJD-for-her-boyfriend excuse =w=)

**btw, if I ever had any idea as to who the guy's gonna be. I have already imagined Dream of Children's Homme Kirill to be her boyfriend in the near future :) ❤ **

A picture of him ;) Dream of Doll's MSD boys ❤ Kirill's the one on the left *squeal*




Because of Celine's matured and beautiful figure at such young age, she is also hired as a model for clothing stores and gets some side income from the modeling career as well. She strongly believes that modeling is not a suitable job for her in the future even though she is doing rather successfully.

Celine has not thought up about her future career, but right now she's enjoying life in the moment!

Regarding preferences for food, Celine's not particularly fussy about what she eats.

✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽

Oh, for the record the reason to why I'm suddenly posting this up is because today, I'm a happy girl ^_^ ❤

my order status has just changed to 'Before shipping' not long ago! and I'm terrifyingly happy because ever since FL informed me that Celine's delayed, quite a number of other customers who'd order around the same time as me have been asking them the same thing as well ("estimated shipping date? shipping date? when will my order be shipped?").

I got so excited, I even took a screenshot of it ._.





The queries at the care service centre has been piling up for some time, and FL usually doesn't take this long to reply! the most was 1-2 business days?

I guess FL must be having some inside issues gone wrong that is causing them to be in such haywire lately, I don't blame them perhaps things have been quite hard on them to the extent where they'd even have to discontinue the production of their popular FeePle60s, 65s and pukipuki (though hardly hear much on the pukipuki's).

I might get the LittleFee Juri '13 event faceplate for a 'sorry for the delay' gift (might).
I'm not someone who goes around having a whole lot of BJDs. Truth be told, Celine's going to be my first and last BJD. So I will sell off the event head to whoever's that is interested in it. $35 with shipping maybe? I'll probably get it posted up on a forum. I haven't heard of anyone in Malaysia who's got FL dolls, I may even be the first for all you know.

That's probably about it from me. I wouldn't say that I ordered Celine at the wrong time of the year when FL is in such disarray. They do a good job from what I see, fingers crossed!

Let's pray for Celine's safety on her journey home! ❤

Much love, 
-Miwako- ❤
