13 Years!
#1
Hi guys! I haven't been around for a while because I just suck at existing generally, but today is a very special day and I thought I'd share it with you all. <3

Today it has been exactly thirteen years since I got my very first Pullip!

I got Neekitaka on February 28th, 2008, when I was 13 years old. Today is February 28th, 2021, and I am 26 years old. Which means I have had her EXACTLY half of my life! Which is absolutely insane!! 

Happy Birthday Neeki. I can't imagine my life without you coming into it. <3

Well, she looks adorable, and practically brand new! Congratulations on keeping her so nice for half your life!

You're right, that is kind of a weird concept.

Thank you so much!

She hasn't changed much in that entire time too!

I went and found a photo of her from shortly after I got her to post here, although she only kept her stock wig for about three weeks if that, so she barely ever looked like this, haha.

Aw, you knew how to take cute pictures even then smile

That is awesome that Neeki has been with you so long, and that she's still bringing you happiness now.

The pink hair really suits her. It's fun to mark these milestones.

The pink hair does suit her, and she doesn’t look a day over 12.

She looks much better with the pink hair than the brown - but the old photo is very cute too.

Congrats on the dolly-versary (and also the birthday!)

I also think she looked cute with her original wig, but the pink one really suits her much, much better - she seems like a vibrant, cheerful personality. I also love her wardrobe choices, that pastel jacket with the sheer sleeves is especially amazing!

The fact that you have a hobby that's been going on for half your life, and a doll who's been with you all along, for half your life, just warms my heart! It truly is a thing to celebrate - congratulations on such an awesome anniversary - to both of you! It's also very nice to see you back smile I'm sad to hear existing is hard nowadays (and that's something I can relate to), here's hoping things will get better for you soon - and that Neeki and the crew will be there to cheer you up until that day comes.

thank you guys so much for your comments!! I hope no one thinks it was my birthday, as it definitely wasn't, haha, it was Neeki's! My birthday is in August. I only clarify because some people on facebook when I posted these seemed to think it was my birthday. ^^

I agree that the pink wig suits her much more. <3

I am so happy that I've spent so much of my life in this hobby. I have times where I don't touch my dolls for a little bit, but I always come right back to them later on and they're there when I need them. <3

People on Facebook don’t pay attention; they’re too busy scrolling. LOL I got it that it was Neeki’s birthday. It’s nice that dolls are always there when you want a little bit of happy distraction.
