M'aidez

Back to Biographies. M'aidez is a pullip Zuora. She has been modified with green eye-shadow and ginger wig, she has two wigs because although I found the one I like best I gave her peter pans wig to make her seem younger, more innocent and sweet. Today her 25cm obitsu came, I think the shortness suits her personality.

 M'aidez is a Fairy but she is very clumsy, she can't cast a spell without it back firing and as a result she has been stripped of her wings and sent to live amoung humans, in order to earn her wings back she must successfully cast 5 spells without them back firing. So far she has cast two but is only aware of one. She helped a dal fix her broken ankle and she unknowingly broke a curse, allowing Sid to become a doll again. She is a bit shy and quiet but she is sweet and means well. So far her only Friend is Toki, they don't know each other very well but their meetings give them the opportunity to talk about the paranormal. Being a fairy she does have some limits people don't have for example if a human eats fairy food they are then bound to the fairy world and cannot leave without forfeiting their life, also if a fairy falls in love with a human s/he must give the human her wings or return to the fairy world and never see her/his love again. Of course if the human has eaten fairy food perhaps this could be a loop hole.


M'aidez is named after the Song "M'aidez" by the sneaker pimps, It is absolutely my most treasured song.

I've really F****d up on the obitsu front.

I am having a tough time with obitsu's lately. So I noticed that Echo's body (pullip MM) had some blue stains on her and after hours of trying every trick in the book I couldn't get them off. Then when I was trying to pose Hypnotica (begoth doll) her neck broke which is a pain because begoth dolls have tattoo'd bodies which are important to keep them in good condition, so any way I figured she could have Echo's body and I would buy Echo a new one later on but then when I tried to put her head on the obitsu the peg came loose half inside her head so i tried to pull it of again but the metal pin that goes through the neck bent and the peg got lost in her head so I have a neck that has metal stuck in it. I then decided that as Lilly(pullip custom) won't be home for awhile I could replace the SBH's neck with the one from my SB-S at this point i was being careful as possible with my bodies but even then Lilly's soft body ripped... so now after all that, I have one obitsu that can be used for a doll. The other one has become a Mannequin for dressing up. Echo is without a body, Hynotica can't have the working body until I get a new peg for it and when Lilly returns home she will also be lacking in a body, add that to my Dal who is residing in the States with the Proffesor and I have a total of three obitsu's to buy D: I think I will try the kind with the magnets next time. I am unsure whether I should put them back on their old pullip bodies or sell the pullip bodies to make money for obitsu's What do you think I should do?

Video Channel Review: My Froggy Stuff.

 Whilest collecting dolls on a shoestring budget (Well a student budget but still) it is important to look into other ways of doing things, such as making your own props. I have spent hours just watching online tutorials for different things such as making realistic food, furniture, clothes... in fact you name something doll related and I have probably watched it. My favourite is youtube Channel Froggystuff hosted by a mother with input from her daughter Froggy stuff covers kid friendly but also high quality props for your dolls. My favourite on is this one "make a 12" doll bed" I tried it out making a small bed for Dal and these were my results:
As you can see I am still lacking in bed sheets and perhaps some more decoration to make it look more interesting. I hope to make some for my bigger 12" dolls though. Froggy Stuff has Tutorials on absolutely every thing, her most recent even including how to make a car. Even if I don't plan on making anything I always enjoy watching her tutorials and her doll show called "The Darby show" where mother and daughter use dolls to act out scenarios is both really sweet and rather funny. I hope you enjoy.
