Ever since I found out about BJDs (ball-jointed dolls), I have spent my days lurking Tumblr and Flickr to collect a bunch of their photos. I sound like such a creeper, hah! But they're so inspiring, and one thing I want to do is to recreate some of their looks that I like.
It’s really a crash-course for me, since their makeup always involves lots of eyeshadow—something that I hardly ever use. For my first attempt, I tackled this schoolboy look:
And my result….
*cricket chirp chirp*
…Well, not so stellar! I’ll be the first to say that I really FAILED this one! >"< Sure, I got the clothes and the wig (sort of), I look like a boy (I think!), but it’s clear that I have a loooong way to go before actually looking dolly...
But that’s okay~ We all start somewhere!!
I know what I have to do to improve. Once I realized that I didn’t look the part, I came out of character and decided to be myself, dolly or not :)

Oh, and these photos were actually taken by my boyfriend. It was his punishment for forgetting my tripod at his work...! He also captured some candid shots, which I think are always fun!
This is me getting embarrassed, as I always do when someone else takes my photo~
(▲ That's a mirror I'm holding! Gotta touch-up the wig~)
This is me reaching for the camera and asking my bf to give it to me:
Well that’s it for now! Other than that, I just want to mention that my posting frequency will drop, as the next two months are “crunch time” at work. :( Please bear with me! I’ll still post, but it may be once every two weeks. Come December I should have much more time! ^^
P.S. I’m just waiting for some tights to come in and then I can take pictures of my Lolita dresses! Until then~!
