It seems like a very good time to post a doll update, because I bought Gabriela yesterday and it’s been a long time since I posted here!
Gabby remains for now a dreamer asleep in her box up in the top of my closet, because I don’t feel square with my collection right now to properly enjoy a new doll.
Much of the year that I’ve been quiet, I have been sucked in to ever soaring and increasingly expensive customization schemes. My one main, big desire remains elusive: All I want, all-all-all I want, is a long curly wig in a medium-light brown. AG has NEVER made this, and I have ruined up to 3 wigs because I can’t set a curl to save my life. I have also easily spent almost $200 pursuing this, buying multiple expensive Beautifully Custom and comparable luxury wigs, only to be frustrated by the weight and fit of them. Marie-Grace’s wig is the closest I’ve found, but it doesn’t solve the curling problem and I wish AG would just make one already. They have Caroline’s in blond and #69s in dark brown and Saige’s in auburn, I don’t know why they haven’t done light brown in this style! And the CYOs only offer “medium” length curly brown.
Anyway…..Pouring all this money into customs only to remain unhappy with them has really effected by over all satisfaction with AG at this juncture. I haven’t been buying from AG proper, not for any major reason but because my budget has been surpassed on all these wigs and parts.
My biggest plan for my collection right now is to sell off some of the excess and parts and re-upload all my for sale pictures to Flickr after Photobucket punked the world.
I need to get it all under control again so Gabby’s first impression isn’t “hoarder much?”!
