Tulabelle Obsession (Plus Faye Redressed)

I'm a woman obsessed.  Possessed.  I used to have four Tulabelle dolls.  I needed money (always the same old shitty story).  I made the decision to sell off all of my 16" dolls, thinking that it would be a good idea to just focus on the 12" girls.  But, I was just trying to convince myself that getting into the big girls was just a passing fancy.  I missed them when they were gone.  FR:16 knocked it out of the park, so opened up that door for me again because I just HAD to have them.  But, I still missed my Tulabelle girls and their funky clothes and adorable face.  And the new collection just added to that.  I LOVED Player Slayer and Touch of Grace.  Now that the girls have shipped, I've fallen completely and utterly in love with Front Row, my least fave from the promo shots.

The problem? This made me go to look back at the first Tulabelle collection.  And I loved EVERY single one of those dolls from that line.  And now I want them back again.  At least most of them are still available at some dealers, so I won't have to do the crazy secondary market price (except for Yeti To Wear and Violet Femme).  The other problem?  MONEY!  Fucking goddamn stupid money.  Every doll in the Integrity universe is coming out in the next couple of months (I'm including convention in that), so there's no damn money to get any TulaBees.  I need a sugar daddy.  Even though I don't like men, I'd still maybe have sex with one for dolls.  YES, I WOULD PROSTITUTE MYSELF FOR TULABELLE.  That's pathetic.

Anyway, here's a photoshoot of Faye, wearing some urban safari gear in the spirit of the Fashion Royalty girls that are currently shipping now (how long is Kyori going to be stuck in Customs...????)

  1. I know exactly how you feel. I have not crossed that line into 16" dolls, and I'd better not ever do it. But money has been a bitch this year. This has probably been, financially speaking, the worst year of my life. I have sold dolls that, if you'd asked me 18 months ago, I would have sworn I would NEVER sell. But it's okay. I find it is giving me new perspective on the whole collecting thing.

    Other thing, Faye (my Skin is In Kyori is named Talia) is one of my favorite dolls. Some of the best hair ever. And I love how you dressed her. :)
