Finally took decent pictures of my girls outside. <:
Since I haven't updated toyinstitution in 14 million years...
Etain, my PW Yulli, and Dooly, my Latidoll Blue Cara, both got new faceups from the lovely naki_and_co ! I adore them, it's SUCH an improvement! Dooly'd had the same faceup for two years, and Etain one. Dooly's was just well loved and needed an update, and Etain's was completely wrong for her character so she got full body freckles and a gorgeous new face.
Since then, Both girls have gotten new wigs, as well, and Etain's daughter, Jezebelle, arrived. She needs a little tweaking (new wig, etc) but she's fine in the face. She just needs a broader wardrobe and some shoes.

Where do I even begin? The past year and a half has been a blur...
Let me sum up as best as I can...
I moved in to rent with Anya. She's been very sweet and helpful this whole time.
I don't know that I can write all this in detail... but.. I don't know... I'll try to summarize, and put myself in place.
A year and a half ago, Aren and I began working at the same guitar shop. We began talking and hanging out, and after a couple months, we started dating. We dated for a little while, falling in love or so I thought, and I got pregnant. Aren and I decided to get married to care for the baby. We spent weeks thinking of the perfect names, designing the baby room in the nice apartment we were going to move into. Everything was going according to plan... his plan anyway. We decided to get married while I could still look nice in a dress. We opened a joint fund account, and put in all our combined savings from work and what my parents gave me. They were elated, to say the least, that I was settling down, although Dad was still furious it was with Aren. They held their tongues though.. so did Ely, he respected my decision to love Aren. I had a beautiful dress, my dream wedding. It was to be small...
We all met at the church, I remember being incandescently happy. I was six months pregnant, but the dress looked nice. My hair was pulled back. My mother did my hair and makeup flawlessly. Antigone was there, my best friend and brother - actually getting along? I wouldn't have believed it. And we waited, I could hear the music.
We waited for a long time, Aren didn't show up. He never showed up. We checked the account, he'd taken all the money. I just remember being completely inconsolable, everything that had been so perfect had ended, just like that.
Months went by, and I lived. I moved back in with Anya. The baby was born. I named her Jezebelle, despite Ely's opinion that that was skanky. She's beautiful, she has the perfect smile. I love her. She was the only miracle result in this hell.
Anya needs the laptop for school work.
I'll try to update more often.

After finding a thread on Den of Angels dedicated to making "macros" [or so they're called, I guess O:] in the style of the lolcat photos - but for dolls, I couldn't resist making a couple myself....

[They're talking, probably about school and work. I liked the no-words version better.]

Hello hello hello.
Well, I've finally got a job here! Which is good then, I can stop paying rent with Daddy's credit card. I'm working at a guitar shop, stocking, mostly.
Aren works there. I don't know. I guess it's okay. He doesn't say much to me yet. I don't know how the hell he started working there or that I should change to work there as well. It's ridiculous. But I refuse to leave, I enjoy it there and they are teaching me to play. He shall leave before i do, and he will speak before I do. I'm not going to waste words on that dipshit.
Life's been kind of quiet otherwise.. I practice guitar at home, and Dooly and Ka seem to like it alright. It's a little weird having them listen, but it's all right.
Gah. What a short update.
