Down The Rabbit Hole I go...

     

 

    I jumped in feet first too!! Watch this useful video by Emirichu on Youtube, it will explain what I'm talking about in case you never heard of this game. LOL The Otome 3D Chinese game called, Love and Deepspace by Papergames released back in January of 2024 is what I speak of...

 Emiri, explains it well. I was doom scrolling as per my usual on Tiktok and that was it. I spotted these beautifully created 3D men. Little did I know, it was a gaming app by women for women?! No wonder so many ladies and gents swoon over these guys! Haha! 

Main Character.

Precursor, when my son was about 6 or 7 years old, I believe, we got and started playing "Sonic the Hedgehog" on his Sega handheld. At the time, I was just helping him get through stages, little did I realize that I would love playing and I must say I got pretty good at it. Fast forward to now, and I stopped playing since he was 8. He still games, but not me. Only because I know myself and I could be a serious gamer if I wanted too. Haha! 

So, I must admit I haven't played games in so long, but when I saw Love and Deepspace through Tiktok, I became curious and tried to check it out. I downloaded the game and at first I had a hard time just logging in. UGH! So I just told myself maybe it was not meant to be played with. A week passed and I tried registering and sure enough, TaDa! 

I was on my way to playing blindly at first. Haha! I must say it's actually pretty fun and if you love reading? There's a lot of reading! In the game you are the main character and she falls in love with all these guys, each with their own story line, etc. and they sometimes cross. So its definitely like reading a romance novel. That's my take on it, which just happens to include fighting monsters, etc. I'm told its also a gacha game, because you never know which of the memory cards you get. And they often have different events, etc. to get you to buy stuff like, memories of your favorite guy. Warning it can be a bit raunchy, so even though it states 13 years old and up. I'd say 18 and up for those of us in the States, Haha. You can play for free, just know it is limited to what you can do. 

Caleb and MC.

 

Sylus and MC.

Anywho, so that's what I've been enjoying as of late besides family and my grandson! I still love and enjoy thrifting. So that hasn't changed. I think all of the guys are cute, but I must admit, Sylus and Caleb are my faves. Have fun if you decide to check out LADS!! Be careful you may not stop playing?! You've been warned! LMAO!

Thank you for checking out my blog! ~ ggsdolls 

Bloop: Mission Accomplished

    Back in 2022, I was commissioned to create a character from the television show, "Lost in Space". The last update here.  Well, fast forward to this past April. Fellow collector Robert, shared with me that he went to an event and brought his "Bloop" to meet Marta Kristen. Marta is the actress that played the Judy Robinson from the TV show! OMG!!

Left to Right: Marta Kristen, Bloop, and Robert.

 

    He wrote, "Just wanted to let you know mission accomplished! I got to meet Lost in Space cast member Marta Kristen. I brought along your Debbie the Bloop to also say, 'Hello'. Upon seeing this great prop, Marta stood up and ran from behind her autograph table yelling, "My Bloop! My Bloop!" She just loved it and hugged her in her arms like a child. Then she posed for quite a few pictures. Other fans who came by also asked if they could use Bloop for photo ops. She was a hit ! I made my goal of having me and that awesome figure you made, being photographed with a cast member from the show. Thanks again for such an outstanding job on her worthy of making such an impression! - your space friend Robert"  

I was very humbled by his message, to hear how happy Marta was and how she was touched that he brought his 'Bloop' to see her. Then, knowing that his mission was accomplished, definitely was a feeling of 'Joy and Love' honestly. That something I helped create, had made a difference in someone else's life. This all brings positivity into the world, and a world that needs it too! Thank you again Robert for sharing this great news with me!!

Be the solution in helping others be happy. There is a satisfaction in knowing that you were a part of something that is positive...

Thanks for reading! ~ ggsdolls

Hello September... Since my last post, I've refrained from buying merch from Japan for my shop. I'm just being very cautious these days if I can help it. But here are some items that I found recently stateside...

 

Found these adorable Storybook Nancy Ann dolls for my shop. Two are listed and I will add the third soon. I've seen them before, but never brought myself to buying any until now. They are bisque dolls with frozen legs, but their arms are jointed. I love their simple faces and cute delicate dresses. Great to display on your dresser or in a dollhouse!

While browsing IG, one of my fellow collector friends showcased these adorable wall plaques with Meyercord decals! I had to have them!! So cute an adorable. Bears dressed up as sailors! These wall plaques will definitely be a great addition to my bedroom. Now, to find a spot! Haha! Below, I found a lot of two doll fashions, one I knew would fit Alice and the other I may add to my shop!

I was right! When I took the blue pajamas out to try on Alice, she fit them perfectly. The pants fit as well considering they are a bit short, but sometimes pajama pants have a short style. She is still just too cute in them and are the last things I dressed her in...

Next, this more recent in age, dolly fashion by Dianne. A pink sweater top for Alice as well. I love finding vintage dolly fashions that can fit her. They don't often fit her, but when I do discover them, they look amazing on her!!

Next, this adorable Premier Doll fashion can fit larger companion dolls, but still was adorable on Alice as well. A very simple pink dress with pleats and ruffled lace sleeves. How can I not get this one for her as well!! LOL

I brought my vintage poodle up here to the village for some photos and to decide if I should display her in my room. She's so cute and looked so sweet with Alice beside her. But, after a day I ended up deciding to put her back in storage for now. I'm trying to limit what I have here.

So precious, I could not help but get these Elzac Hollywood doll brooches. I love them! They both look unique and remind me of pose dolls.  

Last, I had ordered back in April more Small Puppy Cotton Candy bjd parts and one body set. I also ordered the puppy ears they offer from the Chinese seller on Taobao. I was so worried about tariffs. But luckily, it was just the shipping that was costly. So perhaps it won't be too bad should I decide to order from Asia again. I did however have to wait three months before they were able to shipped due to manufacturing constraints.

Well, that's all for now. Happy thrifting! 

Thank you so much for stopping by! ~ ggsdolls
