>>6637593It's a bit hazy, but as far as I remember the reason she even asks so much in the first place was that back then she actually tried to scare away people a little. She had so many people interested in her work it overwhelmed her, so some people said she should just up the prices. It did weed out some of the really cheap people but she had enough crazy fans for it not to make much of a difference, just that she now got more money.
>>6637730Had a really awkward moment like that with a friend. Tried to take a picture of her doll with a SDink face-up and that thing was just so unbelievable bland and overall just underwhelming. She had been gushing about how one of her dolls got that super gorgeous, expensive SDink FU.
I asked her why she hadn't brought along that doll (at that point I still loved her work too).
You could tell she was a bit shocked and hurt when she mumbled "that is the doll in front of you" and I was all ".......oh.".
>>6637745Granted the face-up in question isn't one of her best works either, but yes. Keep in mind though the pic on the left is cropped, on her original pics the doll was as usual a million miles away and the pic itself was small too. See attached.
Just checked her Flickr, those lashes:
