baldylox Posted March 6, 2023 I just got back from a doll show up in Asheville NC and I had a really good time! I've always liked being in the mountains and Asheville is such a nice place for scenery and such, it was a bonus to have a doll meet there! Here's some mountain pics on my way up. 20230303_171230 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr 20230303_171257 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr I stayed with a friend who lived about 30 minutes from the doll show spot. She had some new dolls, 2 of which were Icons. Her Clover had the nicest eyes! 20230303_204231 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr 20230303_204238 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr 20230303_204249 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr She also got herself one of the brand new Icon girls, Nicki! OMG SHE IS SO GORGEOUS IN PERSON! These pics do her no justice at all. 20230303_205021 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr 20230303_205028 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr 20230303_205036 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr I neeeeeed to get one for my group! 😄 Anyway, we headed out the next morning to the show. More mountains! 20230304_074521 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr 20230304_074526 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr Someone was paying more attention to the scenery instead of the road. A Porsche hit another car, both looked totaled. 20230304_080710 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr 20230304_080729 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr Finally arrived at the event! It wasn't huge or anything but there were a good amount of vendors there. 20230304_084024 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr There were random toys there too. I saw this dog toy I had as a kid. One of the doll peeps with us bought him! 20230304_091313 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr I saw a random Chewbacca 12 inch doll hiding among other non Star Wars dolls. 😄 20230304_091529 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr And you can't have a doll show without The King. 😉 20230304_115527 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr Now we get into the Smartdoll Group display! They're a group in NC that is kind of our sister group from down in Charleston. They go to these doll shows often and have quite a nice display set up. 20230304_092610 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr 20230304_092553 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr The following are closeups of dolls that were on the tables from the Smartdoll group. I apologize in advance for not knowing all their names or head molds. I'll just post names of the ones I know. 😉 20230304_092029 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr The shirts on these two are made by one of the members. If you're interested, she has some really nice stuff here: Stuff for Dolls | My Plastic Children (allmyplasticchildren.com) This is also one of her shirts. 20230304_092041 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr Normally I really dislike the Monday head. It just doesn't do anything for me in its stock/default style. But this repainted girl I saw at the meet made me do a total 180. She turned out so pretty! 20230304_092049 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr 20230304_111757 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr She has a troublemaker vibe too so that helps make her even cuter. 😄 20230304_111804 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr Blue OG Chitose. 20230304_092058 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr Cat girl twins. 20230304_092105 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr 20230304_092115 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr I think this is Sana? 20230304_092130 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr 20230304_092134 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr 20230304_092207 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr Ohh this gray girl was certainly a hot one! 20230304_092213 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr 20230304_092218 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr Custom Smartdoll Miku. 20230304_092313 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr Volks Miku. 20230304_092318 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr A Mirai I think. 20230304_092328 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr 20230304_092335 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr This bike was so cool! Perfect scale too. 20230304_092347 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr This girl was patterned after Mia Wallace from Pulp Fiction. 20230304_092356 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr Batgirl was pursuing Mia. XD 20230304_092404 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr There was a police scene going on here and these girls were onlookers in the crowd. 20230304_092411 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr Doll down! 20230304_092419 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr An officer asking questions to a Jared lookalike and Nicki the Icon. 20230304_092428 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr "I'm just trying to pick up my poodle from the vet!" 20230304_092437 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr A semi-real Genesis was there too. She's actually my newest girl! 😄 More on her later when I take proper pics of her. 20230304_092446 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr OG Tea Chitose. 20230304_092453 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr A cute little Pure Neemo girl! 20230304_092511 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr 3 of my girls getting questioned. OG Kizuna was NOT happy about it. XD 20230304_092522 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr My Oceana I named Moana. Original, I know. 😛 20230304_092529 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr My Kizuna. "Don't make me bop you one!" 20230304_092534 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr And my Kurenai in her 80's workout outfit. 😄 20230304_092542 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr Due to pic limits I'll stop here for now. But I'll add more pics soon! Billy 8 I gave up counting the girls I own, they keep multiplying and won't stop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I couldn't get over how nice her sculpt is and at how well she's painted. I tried for her in the last lottery but didn't win. I'll be trying again and again until I get her tho! And thank you! 23 hours ago, Anna-neko said: is... is the girl with the violin a custom Kaori from Your Lie in April?!?!?!

Looks more like she's wearing it... 2 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
