Short Styles

 It is so hard to find good short wig style for the guys in the mini size range. I try to get Chewin wigs for my guys if possible, but it isn't always possible. I had been eyeing Iple wig style IHW_SSS083 for a while now, so last time I ordered some items I added a couple of colors in this style to my order.  I ordered the Sepia color with Edan in mind, and finally got a chance to try it on him today.

I like the style on him quite a lot. The only thing I don't like about the wig is it has a black elastic mesh cap. I don't understand why the wig manufacturer's use black anymore with all the known staining reports. I will have to order him a wig protector from DDE or Marsha.

I do like the style a lot. It is a little less "shaggy" than the Monique "Red" wig I had on him previously. The bangs don't cover his eyebrows.

I also ordered the pearl gray color with my incoming Dylan in gray resin in mind. I may have to go back and get the other available colors as well.

A Red Brown Choice

 Just one new shot of Lobo today, as I found a wig for him that I really like. It's Monique Gold Paris in size 6/7, in the red brown color. Gosh I miss Monique already! I've had this wig for a while and it hasn't been in use, just waiting for the right doll to come along I suppose. Since I had tried this on my fog gray Elf Jude (who resides on my other blog, In the Glade, linked on the side bar here), but I didn't like the color on him, it got me thniking the color would be pretty darn good for Lobo, and I really do like it on him a lot. I think longer hair suits him.

His Wild Side

 I just received my fog gray Jude's in from SartoriaJ's summer sale featuring the fog gray resin dolls, so I put together a collage of all of my Jude's together, as I have a bit of an obsession with the sculpt it appears. I thought it would be interesting to see them all together. I have one big head, that was produced before SJ started doing their own bodies, so he is on an Iple SID body, the rest of the smaller MSD variety. Ryland, the one with the LeStat face up in the bottom left corner was also produced before SJ started doing their own bodies, so he was manufactured to fit on the Iple FID sized bodies, which he is on in this photos. His head is a firm 5/6. Once SJ started doing their own bodies they must have upped the head size a smidge to better fit the body. The 3 Jude's on the SJ 52cm Athletic body all have heads that are more of a 6, and they wear 6/7 sized wigs. Anyway, the fog gray guys reside in my fantasy doll world, so you won't really see them here on this blog often, but thought it would be fun to do a collage of them all together anyway.

Doing the collage this morning and playing with the new fog gray guys made me want to get Lobo out and experiment with different wigs on him as well. He's wearing a Leekeworld wig here. I've had short hair on him for a while, but thought it would be fun to see what he looked like with longer hair. This wig is a bit too full for my taste actually, but I really like the style and color.

And in my story line for him he is Wolven, so I guess his is him letting his wild side loose a bit, lol.

Close up profile shot.

I guess I could try taking some of the wefts out to make it a little less full, but my MNF's share this wig as well, so not sure I'm ready to do that. Boy do I miss Monique. I'd love to get a Paris in black brown for him in size 6/7.

Going Casual

 We got a new package in from NatakoBjdClothes on Etsy today, so Edan volunteered to model as I wanted to see how they looked on the model body.

Great casuals for the FID men, and the goods actually arrived very quickly as well.

The Dane's

 I've made no secret that Dane is one of my favorite Iple sculpts in the FID size. He's one that I could own in every color and not get tired of.  I've wanted to get the two I have together for some photos for a while now, but just hadn't gotten around to it. This morning I made time. Nox, the ebony guy, was my first. He has the default FID face up and is on the muscle body. He is a part of my fantasy group and I usually post him on my "In the Glade" blog.

This past summer a friend was rehoming her light brown Dane on the model body and asked me if I would be interested in him. How could I resist???? So Javier came to live with us. He also has the default FID Dane face up, and as previously mentioned is on the model body.

If money wasn't an option I would love to have a gray Dane.......and maybe even a dark brown Dane with a bearded face up to be a brother to Javier. But for now I'll enjoy the two I have. It is so interesting how the same face up can look so different on two different resin colors.

A Time Past

 Javier is part of the shifter group, and he's lived a long life, so decided to try a different look,  from a time past, for him. I got this Wolf Boy set from Iple when they offered some of the limited outfit sets up separately. I decided to see if the shirt and jacket would be useable on one of my Model body FID guys. It's doable. I would prefer the jacket to be roomier, but everything but the pants work ok. I imagine it will work great for the girls.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, the Dane sculpt is just a beautiful sculpt. LOVE it in the FID size. I don't know why I was never enamored of it when it first came out as SID. I actually love it so much that I've  contemplated getting another in gray resin. There are however other sculpts on my "wishlist" so I should probably get one of those first before getting another Dane.

Playing with edits a bit here so you can actually see his freckles a bit more. 

Crossing Paths

 Lucy was my very first BJD in this scale, and she has had her share of resin relationships since her arrival, but has remained a bit of a drifter in the sea of romance. I got a wild hair the other day and decided to see what she and Josh would do together.

I really think they kind of like each other.

I think I'll let them cross paths a bit more to see what happens. So far, looks like there is definitely more story to tell.
