Meet Our Models – Kyoshi (SoulDoll Paris)

SoulDoll ParisName: Kyoshi

Mold/Company: Souldoll Paris

Size: 60cm / SD13 Boy

Age: Mid-Late 20’s

Sex: Male

Usual Wig Color: Blonde

Usual Eye Color: Souldoll Defaults (Green & Blue)

Additional Info: Kyoshi is one of the oldest in the crew. He looks after the little ones and gets along well with everyone. He’s extremely easy going & laid-back. When Lily first stumbled in, Kyoshi took a liking to her right away and they had a bit of a fling for a while. Unfortunately, Lily decided to move on and no longer lives with us anymore.

Kyoshi was the first doll I ever purchased. I was able to purchase him at Anime Central in 2005 (when it was extremely rare to find a BJD dealer at a con!), and started making him clothes that same day. Yes, I am one of the odd ones who brought my sewing machine to the convention. Thank goodness I did, or he would have been naked/wearing a toga for the con! ^.~

Kyoshi is the only big guy (60cm) currently in the house, and he is a great model for our SD13-size boy clothes.

Meet Our Models – Ellie (Volks Jun Tachibana)

As the start of our introductory series to meet the models of Resin Melody, Ellie was the one that started it all.

Volks Jun TachibanaName: Ellie
Mold/Company: Volks Jun Tachibana
Size: SD13 Large Bust / 60cm
Age: Mid-Late 20’s
Gender: Female
Usual Wig Color: Varies (Constantly changing)
Usual Eye Color: DropRops Gradation Purple
Additional Info: Ellie is the oldest female in the house. She’s spoiled rotten (but not a spoiled brat!). She loves taking care of the little ones. She, like Kyoshi, is extremely easy going & laid-back. She loves to spend time with her little sisters Arianna and Chiyo, and loves to do things that make them happy. She’s just as comfy in jeans & a hoodie as she is all dressed up.

I first saw her in HauteDoll magazine when she was released back in 2004, but could not justify spending so much on “just a doll” – little did I know, as soon as I bought one, I was hooked.

Fast forward to 2008, and I still absolutely loved Jun T. Regardless of the other dolls I had at the time, I still fell for her every time I saw her. I knew I had to have her.

I was fortunate enough to find her on the Den of Angels marketplace, and have loved having her ever since.

She can be seen modeling clothes for SD / SD13 Girls.

Descriptions & Colors

When I am writing descriptions, I always find it difficult to remember alternative color names to the standard ROYGBIV (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet), Brown, Black, & White.

While browsing the Unofficial Etsy Forums, I came across a post with synonyms of other colors. I thought this information was great and decided to share. As I come across new synonyms, I will be sure to add them to the list. If you have any to share, feel free to leave a comment! 🙂

Lisle Doll Show 1/23

Chitowndollz (a local Chicago forum) had the great opportunity to set up a table at a local doll show in Lisle, IL.

We met a lot of people, caught up with friends, and had a great time!

The next great show will be in Willowbrook, IL on 2/6/2010 (I think), and while Chitown won’t have an “official” space, there will definitely be members who are going.

Looking forward to seeing new friends there!
