pause... wait a minute

So I was squeeing a little while ago, and then I had to stop to think.

What is Sol going to wear when he gets here?? I know I have his wig (somewhere) as I bought it the same time I bought Ianthe's newer wig, although I'm not massively sure where it is, it should be in my wig box.

But what about clothes? I honestly don't think I have any MNF boy clothes...

Yes, Vulcan is here, but Vulcan owns very little - the marshpants he's wearing, his boots, his flag, his sword and his dubloon necklace. Because he has to have exactly the same clothes as Gallagher, its not like I can just buy him anything.

Bellona Lua also has clothing, but she has had quite a number of things for quite a while and my other three MSD boys - well... there's Argus and Corvinus... both of them wear their default outfits and they're not slim minis. Of course, other than their default outfits, they don't have any more clothes.

And my other boy is well, Janus and he's a chic-line. Admittedly, he is wearing a pair of MNF pants, but I can't strip Janus to outfit Sol.

The reason I haven't thought about this earlier was because I was originally going to buy Sol in his fullset, which would of course immediately cancel the need for immediate clothing to be ready when he arrived, simply because he would arrive with clothing.

This didn't happen because I am adopting Sol from a very nice FL household and he's coming without any attachments other than himself and his eyes (and possibly a pair of glasses).

I did a bit of trawling of Etsy, but you have the same problem as you do for Pukifee boys - LOTS of Etsy sellers make clothes for girls (and I would love to have Pax, Nox and Aera Cera so I can outfit some more hip/cutesy girls - which Bellona Lua most decidedly isn't) but there is little to nothing on Etsy for MNF boys.

There are some nice jeans, for a good $40, but other than that, I can't see a single thing that I would want Sol wearing (and he doesn't seem all that impressed either.). So then I went to the next step - I had a trawl (briefly) through the Marketplace on DoA... again, I can see the same problem that I first noticed. While plenty of people are selling clothing for MNF girls, there is again very little for MNF boys.

(oh, and of course Brennil/Her Delicate Strength is currently closed for commissions).

So now what? I have a boy arriving in a week or so, possibly two, and I have nothing for him to wear! (except a pair of leather trousers I remember just this morning that will fit him, although they're part of a fullset outfit and he can't wear them forever)

So for those of you with slim mini boys, where did you buy your clothing? And what am I going to do? Sol isn't Vulcan, he doesn't relish sitting around naked, nor does he want to be relegated to his box until he gets clothes!

Squee!

So I'm squeeing at the moment, Sol has been paid off and will be coming home soon... YEY!

Then, after paying off Pallus (who only has one payment left... yey!) I will be going on a bit of a dolly-buying hiatus...

Oh, and Poseidon should have his body sometime this week, although perhaps not his faceup finished...

That was brief, wasn't it?

Mistakes

How many times can one order be stuffed up??

Towards the end of last year, my housemate and I placed an order through DDE, in that order was the following:

1. 1 Pukifee Sweet Bunny Ante Fullset in WS with Sleeping face and faceup
2. 1 Pukifee Alice Luna fullset WS with sleeping face and faceup
3. 1 Pukifee Luna basic NS with sleeping face and faceup

As I was ordering during the event period, I asked for the MNF Chest piece in NS as my event item.

Then begins the stuff ups.

When the order arrived, they managed to send my Pukifee Luna NS without its faceup-ed sleeping face, but not only that, they had also sent the MNF Sword and Sheild in WS rather than my Chest piece.

I emailed them back and told them of their error. They proclaimed that my order had been the most stuffed up in the entire year and they would be able to get me both items. Did I want my chest piece mailed with my Pukifee Luna SP (which they had to ask Fairyland to make).

I replied no.

My MNF Chest piece in NS arrived a week or so later with no more hassle. Then I had to wait for my Nephthys' sleeping face.

And I waited.

I finally got an email that they had received and sent out the faceplate. I was very relieved, and waited for it to arrive.

Finally it did, and I happily unwrapped it. Then stopped. Stared... considered.

They had sent me a LittleFee faceplate (what I presumed was a Luna - as it was all wrapped in plastic and bubble wrap and I couldn't be stuffed opening it up). I emailed them again and asked (rather sarcastically) how they could have sent me a LittleFee faceplate rather than the Pukifee one I had ordered.

They claimed that it had been Fairyland that had stuffed up (after asking me to clarify my problem...???) I asked if I should send the LTF faceplate - they replied that I could keep it (although what for??) and they would attempt to get Fairyland to send my faceplate direct.

I finally got another email saying that it had been sent. As of this date, it has not arrived.

However, today I decided to open up the LTF faceplate bag so I could take some photos of it, in order to to sell it.

I took it out of the bag. I tore off the bubble wrap and peeled back the paper. And stared.

Turned it over, checked the back and showed my housemate.

What I had thought was a Luna LTF sleeping faceplate with faceup... was in fact an ANTE LittleFee faceplate with faceup.

I am wondering, how on earth did I get an ANTE, when I asked for the LUNA. I can kind of understand (with great difficultly) how I could get a LTF version of a PKF sculpt... but how the hell could Luna become Ante?

Is there someone somewhere, who had their Ante faceplate forgotten and got a Luna instead? Or did DDE and Fairyland just manage to stuff this up even more royally?

I wonder... should I await an Ante PKF sleeping faceplate? Or expect what I ordered in the first place??

- oh I simply want a Fairyland dealer this side of the Pacific who offers layby. PLEASE.
