welcome. My name is Carissa, i'm 22 years old and I live in Northern Ohio. I've been an anime/anthro artist since late 1999, and found BJDs through Aimee Major's work. I loved BJDs but couldn't justify their price tag. The doll that made me change my mind was an AngelReigon White Baby Diana. From the moment I saw her, i started saving the money to get a doll of my own. I finally ordered my first BJD on Christmas of 2004. She arrived in January. Progressively over the year i've amassed quite a few dolls, my first being a Volks F08 on a CP body. I'm pretty picky in which headmolds appeal to me, and I usually track down whatever I need to get it. My two dream dolls i'll treat myself to one day are Jun Tachibana and Peakswood Skiya. My Camera is a Canon Digital Rebel XT which I purchased in February of 2006. It has a black body and the default 18mm-55mm lens. It was worth every penny I paid.
