My girl, Li.

I need to think of a name for my RS Li soon before "Li" accidentally sticks.

Anyway, I got her beginning of this week but she is not ready to be shown yet. I have no clothes for her, no eyes, no eyelashes, no wig, and I got her new elastic which is also not here. LOL! She is the most incomplete doll that has arrived to me. BUT I can't help but love her. She's helping me through a rough time, which I greatly appreciate. Plus, as a bonus, she's my first in a lot of ways:

-First MSD
-First doll I need to completely clean
-First doll I have to restring
-First doll I've modded

Because of this, I think we are bonding quite nicely, despite her being an impulse purchase. I mean, I've wanted a Li for a long while but she really was low on the list, poor thing. But now that I have her home, I'm very glad I went for her. XD

The mod I did on her was a mod to get her to be able to sit. Apparently, her lower torso and wide thighs wouldn't allow for her to do that. Now, RS has since fixed this issue but, since I bought my girl secondhand, it was either deal with the fact she'd be a standing doll only or follow this tutorial and do something about it. I actually can't believe I did it and I'm glad I did. It was therapeutic and rewarding, even if it lacks perfection.

As for cleaning her, I plan to do that tomorrow once I figure out the best course of HOW to clean her. Hopefully her elastic is here either tomorrow or tuesday and she won't have to stay in pieces long. I'm also going to practice one more faceup before doing her face. Her face won't be perfect but I like doing faceups now so, hopefully, I'll like it. XD

That's all, really. There will be official pictures of her once she's complete. XD
