I had given up on finding a Tiger Lily at a decent price. After she was off loaded to Tuesday Mornings I was like "She was dark, and the only Byul I think is cute...why didn't I get one?" When I heard there were J-dolls being found at Tuesday Mornings, I was like, "I'm not missing things this time!" So, I went to TM, and they had no J-dolls, but they had a Tiger Lily. Score! On a side note, my local TM was so shady looking. It's around the back of a strip mall and tucked between two loading bays. Great prices on things though! If I had had some extra money, I would have picked up this quarter scale Hummel tea set they had.
Anyway, here's Derpina. It's not her long term name, but I'm still trying to figure out who she is. I'm toying with the idea of making her Nasira's little sister or maybe a cousin.

My fiance says she looks best in profile because Byul's are wall-eyed. Poor girl's going to have to live in the shadows when we move in together...

Congrats! In my opinion she is absolutely the best of the Byuls. She is the only one I would own even if she weren't a part of a set.

may I ask how much you paid? I'm planning on going to a local TM soon and was wondering what their prices are like.

True's right. She was 39.99, 43 after tax. I also found a Liv doll there for 4.60, but it was in super clearance and the only one they had.

Don't worry. I've already changed out her wig. When you see new pictures of her, you'll be so over her. *whisper*It's pink*whisper*

The lady at TM said that they had had a lot of them in stock but some guy had come in and bought one, then came back and bought all of the rest except the girl I got. She was in one seriously banged up box, so I'm guessing he thought he couldn't sell her on e-bay. It sounded fairly recent though, so I'd still have some hope about finding a doll or two myself.
Just to plug the hoodie, I got it from Quarmara's Quaint Quintessence at Puddle last year. She has an etsy http://www.etsy.com/shop/Quamara?ref=seller_info

Because it looks really good. And I don't hate pink like you do

I'm glad you were able to snag Tiger Lily at a good price. She's the prettiest of the Byuls, I think. I can't wait to see her rewigged photos--pink hair would look nice with her tan!
