thoughtfulSo, let me ask . . . IF I were to buy this Aoi-Tuki girl, would anyone be interested in buying the kimono? It's beautiful, but I don't like it as well as sets I already have.

The trouble is that I like both of Aoi-Tuki's current girls very, very much, and it would be a hard task to choose between them. But this morning I'm leaning toward the kimono girl with her pearly makeup; she looks a little less sad than her sister, and while I'm greatly in favor of the grumpy-Romantic-melancholy-posturing sort of BJD, out-and-out sad ones make me uncomfortable.
And while I'm at it, this is BJD-kimono-sorting day at my house. I'll have at least one or two for sale later on--I just need to run a couple of errands and then I can take and post pictures.
Another girl? I'm excited for you! Really rounding out your wonderful group!
I do have one DS-sized kimono set that I haven't used as much as I expected to--pictures to come!

Something about getting Mally Lee has opened the girl-BJD floodgates for me . . . she's a bad influence!
Aoi-Tuki's girls are built like a brick outhouse, as my mom would have said. The thighs awe me even more than the rear. Pants would not be an option, I suspect.
Email me if you want me to help talk you out of (or into) getting her. LOL. ;)
I find that Mally Lee can squeeze into a lot of SD13 things, especially tops and skirts if they aren't too cropped. Pants are more of a problem, but she's sharing those with the Dollshe guys (no lewd jokes, please). She just doesn't *like* most of Claudine's wardrobe, even though she can wear quite a bit of it . . .
You know I wanted that one they sold on eBay....this one would be perfect for someone here!
:)
I hate doing hard thinkies. It hurts. ;-)
I have a kimono set that might work for your Someone, too--I'll email you in a second.
Agh. I need a willpower transfusion. Or maybe a good sense transfusion.
(She's 62cm tall and I think she's one of the tallest girls out there.)
It would be an experiment, buying one of these sizable girls, that's for sure. And I *don't* need to spend the money (especially after my great plunge into Mally Lee-Land, when I had told myself NO MORE DOLLS THIS YEAR, after all the unexpected expenses of late summer). Butbutbut--such a sweet face, and such an interesting, unusual body--
Ack. ;-)
It's hard to know what's good and what isn't.
I keep thinking about what Anu said about all the, "gold miners." And I do know some of the dolls aren't quite what I had hoped.
hopefully you won't post any for sale until much later tonight when I get home from class :)
And I'm leaning back toward Pink Loli Girl right now. I am SO indecisive, sheesh.
