mitsuki Posted April 17, 2015 so anybody thats a bit crafty and has a sewing machine. there is a hole in the market. you can make the doll carrier bag in the style of a outward facing baby harness or so. it will be a hit trust me It would have a great effect on the civilians. They tolerate so little deviation from the norm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baldylox Posted April 17, 2015 I think I like the idea of you "piggybacking" them more. Sounds cute and doesn't require a balancing act! XD Piggybacking using a backpack is quite easy for you, gives your girls an excellent point of view and also freaks out any non dollie peeps quite nicely.

galatia9 Posted April 18, 2015 Billy, I'd be worried I'd smack them up against something, or I'd lose their wig or accessories! I'd like to have them where I can see them. You and the girls look great, though!

Billy Nothing scary or freaky about you Billy. Saber on the other hand looks like she is about to make like Laura Croft, bust out a machine gun, and waste some bad guys. The difference between Dollfie Dreams and Heroin? Heroin is illegal, Dollfie Dreams probably should be. “Empty wallets, full hearts.” That’s probably an apt description for the effects of DD addiction Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baldylox Posted April 19, 2015 Billy, I came into this thread tonight specifically because you posted in it and I thought "OMG BILLY IS COMING?!!! Squeeeeeee!!" T_____T" You tease. First off, I'm so very flattered you were excited about the prospect of me coming out there! Second, I'm sad to say that I can't do that due to my work schedule. I certainly do wish I could make this tho! But if things go well, I *will* be going to the big doll convention in Atlanta this year. I think it's around Labor Day weekend but they haven't posted dates yet. Since it's only a 5 hour drive for me, I'm all over checking that one out. Maybe yall can make it out to that? And thanks for the bit about me being a tease! I do what I can my dear. Billy, I'd be worried I'd smack them up against something, or I'd lose their wig or accessories! I'd like to have them where I can see them. You and the girls look great, though! I was worried about that when I did it at Animazement a while back because of all the people and crowded conditions at a convention but things worked out very well, especially if you have someone you know behind you making sure the girls don't get all wonky in the backpack. And thanks! Nothing scary or freaky about you Billy. Ha! I thank you for the compliment but you'd be amazed at what a wide berth people at cons or out in public spaces in general give you along with odd stares if you look like I do and carry around big dolls. Saber on the other hand looks like she is about to make like Laura Croft, bust out a machine gun, and waste some bad guys. LOL Saber would be very happy to hear that! She was in a great mood that day because she got to wear a super tight swimsuit that showed how much bigger her chest is than Rei's. I think she's kind of scared of Rei at times, not that I blame her, so any leverage she can get on her makes Saber happy. That and Saber had seen The Terminator movies right before this so she was trying to impersonate one a little bit methinks. Rei smacked her after about 33 "I'll be back" quotes......

See, THAT'S what I was worried about too, LOL!! VERY handy to have someone at your back, making sure the girls are safe -- and not staring off into space with their heads all wonky! And speaking of keeping the girls in order -- it's nice to hear Rei keeps Saber in line.

baldylox Posted April 22, 2015 O.o what convention? ! Lol you been holding out on us? Definitely not to threadjack, but could you pm me the site for it? It's just info I heard from Shilen. She said she didn't have any info on it yet so Becca and I are waiting to hear from her. Last year they had it around Labor Day weekend or close to it in Atlanta and I think it was just called the Atlanta BJD Con. Once Shilen gets back to me on it, I'll make sure to let you know as well.

Innocentsake Posted May 17, 2015 For anyone wanting to send in their reservation for the Tea Party part of the Dolpa do make sure to get that done! The last day to send it in is May 31st I'll be glad when it's closed just because I want to know if I got in or not already. Hoping they didn't get too many entries otherwise it will be lottery And if that happens I really hope they have been making sure to remove double entries since many people re-submitted their reservation when they didn't get a confirmation P.S. baldylox it would've been so cool if you could've attended! Still hoping we can get together next year! And I wanna know more about that BJD con too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sie Posted May 17, 2015 The last day to send it in is May 31st Whew still have time to decide. Although after reading up on it I still have no idea whether it is something I want to go to or not. Would be nice to hang out with the people who are going but there is no guarantee that we would even get in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would be nice to hang out with the people who are going but there is no guarantee that we would even get in. I guess it just really depends on if it feels worth it to you to pay the money to attend that part of the Dolpa. If you just want to hang out with everyone we'll be able to do that before the Tea Party starts. Once we're all done with our shopping I'm sure there will be plenty of time to hang out and celebrate the acquired goods or commiserate in not getting anything Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gunter Posted June 13, 2015 With the clear lack of events (Didn't get into tea party) to attend and the lack of people to meet (that I already know IRL), I think I'll just sit this one out. Take a lot of pictures! I doubt I could have afforded this anyways...zzz... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Innocentsake Posted June 14, 2015 So happy to read that there will be some familiar faces with me at the Tea Party We can have our own DD table I've already gone ahead and paid for my spot. Now to wait for the event to arrive~ I do hope they've prepared something interesting for the Tea Party~ Really just want more information in general, but I guess that probably won't happen until AX is over Congrats to those that were able to get in! And for those who haven't there may be a second chance once the deadline to pay passes. I saw a few people on DoA who said they weren't going to attend since the rest of their party didn't get in. So there may be hope yet for those who never got an email to pay for a spot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jadepixel Posted June 30, 2015 Just got an email from Volks that I wasn't selected for the Tea Party lottery. At this point I figured as much, but I guess they are giving official notice now. jadepixel doll lab jadepixel eye shop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
galatia9 Posted June 30, 2015 jadepixel, I also got the rejection email today. If you get selected in the secondary lottery draw, do you think you'd go? I'm not sure if I'm going yet, but if If I get chosen in the secondary lottery, that would definitely influence me toward going. Two friends of mine who did get chosen for the tea party are definitely going.
