Hey guys! I haven't posted in forever! I feel like my entire blog is Pullips now, and I kinda feel sorry for all my AG people. Especially my subscribers on YouTube, I haven't uploaded something in a really, really long time. I'm trying to focus on school and I don't have enough time to make a stop motion, just maybe some photos (which is what's all on my Instagram and flickr) I was thinking about making a simple jump cut AGMV or something next week or this weekend though, yay! I'm sure there will be plenty more videos and stop motions when summer comes, don't worry :)
But, for all the Pullip stuff, which there often is, I'm currently in the process of making a separate blog. I drew a banner and I need to figure out how to scan it, and think of a name, and it'll be all done! (if you can think of a name for a Pullip blog for me it would be fantastic if you could comment it below) Hopefully I can get it up soon because I've got a ton to post.
I've also got an Etsy release I've got to list...

A Reveiw on My New Girl, Tiphona!
Last Wednesday, Tiphona came! I didn't post because I've been a bit busy and stuff and things and such... you know, life. But here's a post with a quick review and some info about her!
I know I said that she was supposed to come last Friday, but my mom said it would realistically be the next monday. but, she didn't come that monday or tuesday (I was really upset xD) and just as we were going to go to the post office to comlain about our "2 day priority" mail, she came. :D yaaay!
Here she is after I unwrapped her! She looks so sweet, elegant, and ladylike.
It took me a while to get her out... It always does. I guess it's part of the fun, unless you're overly excited and just want your doll out and to take pics!
She's so beautiful! *__*
Since her outfit is so elaborate and detailed, I'll do that first!
Her dress/jumperskirt is so pretty and has great deatils. there's small lace trimmings, ruffles, bows, little pearly beads and a beautiful print. It's mostly a dull-ish green with small pink and blue flowers, and the ruffles on the inside are pink and blue flowers on a brown-er color. The entire thing is pretty stiff, but it doesn't look or feel bad.
Here's her card, which has a pretty picture of her. I don't think the hair colors quite match though, It's a lot lighter in real life. (the same goes for the other stock pics)
She also comes with some other things. one is a little leather purse. it also has great detail, I love the little bow!
She also came with a little headband, it's the same material as her dress but has lace. it also has wire in it to help it stay on her head but still doesn't really stay on her head.
She also has detailed shoes. In the box, she just has her socks on, and her shoes come in the side. I had some difficulty getting them on because of the print her socks have. I didn eventually get them on though. The shoes are made of rubbery- platic stuff but have little "stitching" indents and a bow molded in.
she also had this little detatchable bow around her neck. I guess it's just for extra decoration. It didn't for for a necklace or anything else, but it did work for a hair tie. xD
Her overdress has a green lace-up ribbon in the back, but really opens up with velcro.
Underneath, she has a cream colored blouse with pretty lace and beads. It ties in the back but also has velcro. She also has a white underskirt/pannier and them cream panties underneath. :)
Just like I read in other people's reviews, her hair is soft and smooth. her actual wig had some little hairs sticking out and I can kinda see the cap in a couple places, but it's not bad and still pretty nice. I must be getting used to all those fancy BJD wigs I got Kitty and Mizuki. It's not overly long, either!
Her eyes are a pretty olive green, but they don't sparkle and aren't very shiny. and, different than I thought, they have a layer of green kinda on the back and then smaller lines on the top of her eye. it kinda creates depth but you can't really tell unless you're like 2 inches away from her face (which my camera can't photograph).
Her face-up makes her look so sweet and cute! I mostly buy my dolls based off face-up so they'll look good customized, and I really liked Tiphona's. (of course, I also bought her because of her beautiful outfit, hair and just because she's gorgeous) Her face-up is mostly pink, like her eye shadow and lips. Her blush is more of a tan color. She has large dark brown eyeliner with large wings and some plain lover lashes. Her eyelids are tan with the same dark brown color line. her lips are pretty light, but have a dark line in the middle.
Here's the picture that's closes to her face, which happens to be my new flickr icon :D
I've decieded to name her Elodie. It's pretty and I think it might be French. Since I wanted her personality to be happy, bright, bouncy, and innocent, I figured that Elsie would be the perfect nickname.
I may get her a short-ish pink wig too. Here's a link to it, comment what you think!http://formydoll.com/shop/step1.php?number=1617
I'm working on a separate blog for my pullips, with profiles and their story, and I could post little picture stories and things there. It still needs some work (and a proper name) so it might be a while. but when I have it up, I'll make a post with a link and you can read all about Elsie (and Kitty and Mizuki too, of course).

MORE PULLIPS!!!!
Note... This post was written yesterday and I just forgot to post it...
So, yesterday seemed like just a casual day. I got home from school and said hi to my mom like I usually did, then went off to make some hot chocolate... But then my mom starts randomly giggling. Since that's really suspicious and usually means she's hiding something, I look around AND SEE A PULLIP DOLL SITTING THERE ON THE SHELF!!!!
Now, it's not mine, I'll get to her in a bit. ;-) But it turns out, the other day when I thought my mom was joking about wanting a Pullip for herself, she was serious. She got Pullip Jaldet! Even though she's not my style, she is pretty cool. She has 'expressive' (quoting my mom) eyebrows and purple/blue eye shadow and grey sparkly eyes and eyelids. she comes with black lacy clothes and a sequined mermaid tail (and a skirt and shoes in case you want her to be human) What a contrast to my sweet, plain looking Pullips! My mom said I could take pictures of her if I want. But I'll probably mostly just surprise myself every time I see her! xD
Now, if you wanted to hear about my Pullips... I also ordered another Pullip this Wednesday! I got Tiphona, who I've been wanting for a while. She's an early Birthday gift from myself. xD I think Tiphona is so sweet and pretty, and her dress is beautiful. She got great reviews. I wanted to also get her before she sells out because she seems like the type of doll who would get really expensive after she sells out. xD I think she would look great customized in any way, or just how she is.
Right now, I'm used to ordering things from China or other things from far away countries (like wigs and other dolls) But my mom told me that our dolls were coming from the US! I checked Tiphona's tracking today and it turns out that she is- Arizona, actually! Plus, her estimated delivery is Saturday- tomorrow! I hope she comes tomorrow so I can take pictures (and make another possible blog post!) and of course just have her! xD

So much to say
I haven't made a blog post in a while! A lot has been going on and for some reason I only remember to post when I have tons of things to say xD
Thing #1: Why I'm busy
I've been really busy lately, not only with school but I'm also moving. It's in the same school district and I'll still be visiting my old house so it's not a huge deal! but there's no furniture, and we ordered all of are furniture from ikea so I'm going to have to spend this weekend setting up and putting it together! I haven't packed anything either, I'm going to have to decide what doll stuff to bring. (My room has a big closet though so that means more room for doll stuff xD)
Now, lets move on to thing #2: Pulips!
I know I've been more known for American Girl stuff, and I wanted to let everyone (people on my IG and YT) know that I still am "into" AG and will be making stopmotions on my youtbe, and probably clothes on my Etsy, too. But lately I have been more interested in Pullips! They're great for photography, and their poses/body looks a lot more realistic. I love their anime-ish style. I especially love how you can customize them and make your own unique character! I love having unique dolls, and AGs are pretty hard to customize, but pullips are a lot easier and I think look better as customs.
Another reason I'm taking more pullip photos lately is because I can't take any outside photos, because its seriously freezing and theres a ton of snow on the ground, so the only photos i can take are inside. pullips are a lot smaller and easier to take pics of inside, plus I made the room-box.
Now, onto pulip stuff...
I've changed the room box from what it looks like in the last post a lot! mostly just the furniture because I found a really great blog with wonderful tutorials. I have pics on my flickr and IG if you want to see bits of it.
Another thing I was working on was my entry for the I ♥ Pullipcon contest! Check out my flickr to see that! I think it came out pretty cool despite the couple of little teeny flaws that annoy me!
I also ordered Mizuki an obitsu yesterday because her legs were floppy and her hands were all stained-ish (what I get for making her crawl around in the dirt and stuff for my SMs and photos! xD). When it comes I might write a blog post on how they are and the long story that I'm sure will come with me trying to put it on her.
Here is a picture of Mizuki being a steampunk ninja for your entertainment. Have a nice day!

Pullip Room!
Kitty! Look, I found us a house!
But Mizuki... This is a box.
Well we've got to fix it up, silly!
Come on, Lets go get stuff!
Hi everyone, its Kitty here! This is my first time blogging... its kinda weird. As you can see, the other day Mizuki came to me and told me she had a surprise. It turned out to be a box, which she said we could use as our house. After that, she ran off to get "stuff". She's been really busy lately, I've seen her occasionally with paint and cans and wood making things. Today, I came to check and it appears to be done!
She painted the walls white and there's wood-looking floors. You can't see it but there's a round beige crocheted carpet. I'll have to make some artwork because the walls are a bit plain.
She even cut out a window in the wall complete with plastic glass, pretty floral curtain and even a little windowsill.
There's also a little white table with a vase of flowers.
There's even a little old-fashioned wood stove that makes the place so cozy and warm.
The bed was fluffy with a quilt that matched the curtains. The place was so nice and warm that I fell asleep!
It's such a nice house and even though you can kind of tell it's made of cardboard, Mizuki did a great job on it! Maybe someday we'll get one made out of a shelf or actual drywall.

Video Stuffs
halooooo
I don't really know what vids to make next! I wanted to ask you guys what kind you like. I thought if I just made a little poll thing on the side of my blog it wouldn't get noticed. So I put it in a post!
What kind of vids do you want me to make?
1) AGPS
2) AGMVs
2.3) storyline 2.6) jumpcut
3) Memes (See a while back for list of stuff I may do. Please don't request any more, it's already huge.)
4) Short AGSMs about my dolls' everyday life, a short problem, etc.
5) More randommmmm videos!
6) FINISH THE DAY THE STARS FELL ALREADY
Comment the # you like!
And about #6
yes
ik
...
I lost my script notebook
...
I CAN'T FIND THE PLAN THING I HAD FOR THE REST OF IT
UHG
UUUUUUUGGGGG
SERIOUSLY
When I find it, I will write out a script and film! well, I may have to wait to film because it always takes place outside and its so colddddd!
Another thing.
The contest that I wanted to have since like 400 subbers?
well, the other day (okay like week) I saw that I had 1000 subbers!
I was all like :OOOOO
But really thank (all 1000 and by now like 100 more of) you so so so much!
But then I realised I have really been slacking with that contest. really really slacking.
The problem is, I don't have very good prizes. When I had 400 subbers, it was summer and I made a SUMMER outfit. now, I need to make another winter/spring outfit to give away, and put together other stuff. So please be patient, I hope you guys don't mind!
More patience = Better prizes :)
On a happier note, if anyone from YouTube missing any of my photography, since I don't upload my AGPSes much there, Instead of uploading them I'm doing shorter photo shoots and uploading some of them to my Instagram (@RandomRoses) and Flickr. (Random Roses).
Have a nice day!
I came here thinking I didn't have much to post about and now look at this xD

Family Photo Problems.
Hi guys, Its Kirsty here! The other day, I decided that our family needed a family photo, all together. So I got the family to dress up a little and go outside for a picture! Sounds simple, right? But it wasn't really... Here's some pics of some of a couple little problems we had outside.
Dani: ugh, Why do I have to be next to Izzy?
Izzy: I'd much rather be watching TV on the warm couch T_T
Hope: Are you almost done, Kirsten?
Sierra: whats in that bush
Miki: I wish I had a nice warm pumpkin spice latte right now.
I'm almost done guys! Just need to find the right exposure and shutter speed and ISO... Dani, could you move closer to Izzy? And look at the camera and smile, everyone!
Dani: Ugh. Fine.
Sierra: CHEEEEEEZE :D
Hope: HURRY UP kirsten!
*click*
Kirsten: Uh, I think I need to set the thing to ten seconds instead of two...
Sierra: OOH! LOOK, ITS A CHIPMUNK!!!!!!!
*click*
Everyone: SIERRA!
Kirsten: lets try again...
*click*
Kirsten: Ummm... miki was blinking...
Miki: retake, RETAKE! I don't want to be blinking in my picture, that looks absolutely STUPID.
*click*
Kirsten: *sigh* It just doesn't look right!!!
5 minutes later...
Everyone: Oh my gosh Kirsten, Just take a picture already! It's freezing!
Ten minutes later...
Hope: Kirsten, I think that all of our hands are going to freeze off, can we just use that pic already?
Dani: I have to admit, Izzy is warm...
Izzy: T_T
Sierra: cold cold cold cold brrRRRRrrrrrr
Miki: Could something warm from starbucks just appear right here and now???
Kirsten: I suppose this one is okay...
Everyone: Yesssss!
And then we all sat inside and drank hot cocoa. The end. xD
