The Body problem

Recently the thing that has been on my (dolly) mind is bodies, I am a pretty curious person and I like to try and explore all my options. Other than normal pullip bodies the only replacement options I have purchased are obitsu. So I ended up with two pullips on obitsus and Zuora on a normal pullip body.





I can't quite decide if I want to replace her body as her skin tone is hard to match and I like that her pullip body makes her shorter however compared to her obitsued friends she feels lacking as obitsus offer great flexibility, nicer figures and a range of hand options, the floppyness and the fact they keep falling apart is frustrating.
So I was led to consider other options. So far I can think of 3alternatives: Azone, Liv and Fashionista. Fashonista is out because barbie bodies are horrible and not my cup of tea.
 Liv offers a close skin match but I hate that there is only one bust size but then again so do normal pullip bodies, so I am unsure. This leaves Azone but after further research I found they look a bit strange and really childish on pullips so that leaves them out too.

Holidays and Descisions

After my last post I learned that the holidays are longer than I thought they were, we don't go back to university until the 17th. Although this leaves me more time to do all the things I wanted to do, other things always seem to crop up, I have friends to catch up with as well as family and I am terrible at making decisions, one decision I have made is not to start my new years resolution until I go back to uni, my goal is to try and loose weight before my 21st in may, I have a weekly target of  one and a half pounds a week, my hope is that by keeping it small I can achieve it. For those of you wondering I would not class myself as fat but I have always had a pot belly and I tend to seesaw between healthy and over weight (never loose too much and never gain too much) I think it would be nice to have a flat tummy for a change. Any way enough about that I know you came here to read about dolls, although sadly I have little to report, I did get a sewing machine for christmas so I am going to take classes to get better at sewing and sew a lot more clothes for my dolls, I also have a few customs planned so I should crack on with those.
