I’m going to a wedding later today…I don’t even know the couple getting married. I’m going with my friend, Tyler as “the date” because he was invited to this wedding but he didn’t want to go along so I figured, free food…free booze…I’m not driving…sure! I feel Elaine from Seinfeld in that I’m always “they date” since I’m one of the only females amongst our group. Tyler said to me, “If you can’t go, I’m going to make Phil wear a wig.” lol! Phil is another pal but I just found that visual amusing…my friend Tyler going to a wedding with Phil dressed in drag just so he’d have a “female companion.” Heehee!

For all those who asked questions about my dollfie…for one, his name is DUCAN (doo-kawn) not DUNCAN! Heehee! But to give a quick summary of dollfies, dollfies are custom-made Asian dolls. As in, these are not mass-marketed dolls. Dollfies are not built until a customer orders one…average waiting time for a dollfie is 5-7 weeks. Because they are hand-made, each dollfie tends to vary somewhat from one to the other…hence why they are also very expensive. My Ducan is over 2 feet tall so he’s considered a “super-dollfie” since he’s one of the larger kinds. Dollfies are very posable…the insides of them are strung with a series of strings and they have joints so they can sit, squat, wrist-bends, all that but they are built so well, that they usually, can stand on their own without needing a base to hold them up-right.
Quite a few asked this when I showed the picture of my dollfie in the last post, his bottom eyelashes are painted but his top lashes are real. When a person orders a dollfie, for an additional charge, you can have make-up put onto yours…and that’s what I did and I’m glad I did it because the details put into his lips, eyes and blush is very well done. His blue eyes just glow with the darkness of his eye make-up…like Jack Sparrow! Haha! Well…Jack Sparrow has dark eyes but still! You get what I mean. Ducan’s hair is extremely soft too…like a kitty cat! *pets him*

I think one of the main appeals of the dollfie is the fact that if you were to make an anime character 3D…this is what they’d look like. The large eyes, the angular face, the perfectly straight nose, the long slender bodies…yep! Anime characters brought to life!
So yeah, there, now you guys know a little about dollfies. *hands out Cheetos* And here’s another of my fave pictures I took of my Ducan yesterday:
