i still listen to the radio, believe it or not.  i listen to talk radio every morning.

i want a miracle to happen in a sense that i can pay for all the costs of a DDS, and the probable customs that i know i will be charged.    Karin is my goal. after her, i'd like a set of clothing or two. and i dont know, something close to this? maybe.

I know this is really late but in case anyone sees this in 2022, I am not a huge fan of Sakura Dreams friend shop. They don't reply to emails (you're better off messaging their instagram which is strangely easier to get replies). They say that you don't have to pay customs but the reality is they add the price of customs onto their prices (which is totally fine but to say you don't have to pay customs isn't exactly true). My friend recently bought a mochiashi from Volks international and it ended up being the same price as Sakura (including customs). Not only that, since your package is travelling directly from volks international to your door (no middle-man), shipping is faster in my experience from volks international. I had many occasions where their website said they had items in stock when in reality they weren't. In one of these cases, I opted to wait for these items and after a few months I messaged for a refund (which they gave immediately, inferring they hadn't even ordered the items for me to begin with - although this is only a guess). On another occasion, they said they did not have a particular blank head in stock and I therefore opted for a different one. And yet in the mail I received the doll head they claimed was out of stock which was rather confusing. Overall, I suppose sakura does provide some comfort for the simple fact that they're in the UK. However, they are slow to communicate, do not properly update their website to state what is and isn't in stock and are overall a slow middle-man that isn't really necessary. All that being said, I know they people who run the shop are lovely people, I'd just rather buy directly because it's somehow less faff.  I thought I should add that they recently announced that they will not keep stock of Dollfie bodies, meaning that you will always be waiting for volks international to ship to them and then to you. Back in the day they would keep bodies in stock (in which case the shipping was quite quick) but since they don't do that anymore, it feels incredibly pointless since you're almost guaranteed to wait longer than just buying directly.

awww I missed Liluda 😭

Does anybody have these? I’d seen them before but didn’t realize they were from a proper series and wasn’t interested. Then Obitsu made a post tonight about the latest models (Aquamarine/Cocoa) and I’m coming around to them. The newest ones at least are kinda cute. https://www.obitsushop.com/SHOP/7637/list.html
