Finding One’s Self

5 Things I Dread The Most
1. Kids
2. Mistula Updates (or anything that involves Lugosi)
3. Being alone in a doll carrier with Manx
4. Falling hair (aka Slipping Wigs)
5. Joey with a bottle of thinner

But Joey probably dreads face-ups more than I do. She held off my makeover for a record-breaking six months, and would rather Photoshop the tiny chip on my lip than paint over it. When it finally became too difficult to conceal by painstaking lighting or computer retouching, she psyched herself up and erased, with much tears and hesitation, all traces of Tsukasa Konoe.

It was a most dreadful experience.

Joey tried pink lips, glossy red lips, glossy pale lips, nude lips, orange lips, unblushed cheeks, rosy cheeks, goth eyeshadow, natural eyeshadow, no eyeshadow and almost died painting eyebrows and tried to cheat with watercolor pencils (and swore she heard little voices that sounded like Djinn and Jhoann screaming “CHEATER! CHEATER!” and quit). My first face-up, like all things first, was wrong. Joey showed it to Mae, and she said, very kindly, that “It was not good enough for an Uno.” The next morning, Jhoann and her friend Tasha advised Joey against suicide, cheered her up with pictures of cats and told her to take a rest then try again. She did as she was told, and after two backachy days, Uno, the Volks LE SD13 Boy formerly known as Tsukasa Konoe, rose again.

JOEY’S NOTE: For the encouragement and cheering-on, Djinn, Mae, Jhoann and Tasha, thank you so much. You guys are worthy of your elitist badges. And again, to Sam for Uno’s rockin’ chains.

Uno! You look divine! (and very sexy)! The result must have made the pain you went through very much worth it!!!!

What does Manx get up to in the doll carrier? I’d imagine many others would love to be in a doll carrier with her

Now, Joey … at least if Uno needs another repaint in the future, you’ll already know how to do it, right? ^_^

Jesse: Thank you so much!

Be thankful you will never get to be in a doll carrier with Manx. For one, she always gets to be on top. And second, she always prefers to be in a position where her boots are on my face. (>__+)

Moon: You sound exactly like my sister! I showed her Uno’s new face and she went, “What am I supposed to be telling you? Oh, you decapitated Uno?” (=___=)

Mia: Thank you, Mia! I’m glad you still like him! (T__T)

Asano: I hope so! (^^;;;

Hale: There’s too many of ‘em goth rockers already, I don’t think the world needs another one.

Aiden: Please call me on my private number so we can discuss second-hand Lishe prices and shipping costs, thanks.

Mainey: Aw. Thanks so much. Believe it or not, but one of the thoughts that nagged me while I was repainting Uno was: “Will Mainey still like him?” X3

This is kinda off topic, but I haven’t seen Manx for a while. What has she been up to?

Jhoann: (=___=) You have warned me enough. And though advertising has given me guts of steel, they will not do with your brand of evil.

Judy: Hey hey, how are you? Did you have fun at the Dolpa? Got a new doll? (^-^)

Asano: Manx is with Lugosi. They must now flogging be themselves over the Mistula update. (+__+)
