Today is my birthday, and I'm bringing Celestina (and my other doll Kami) to see Little Mermaid with me. I made Celestina a rainbow mermaid scale dress, thought it was fitting since it's the last day of Pride, go out with a bang. And now I have 2 Ariel mini dolls, and Celestina loves them, says they're sisters. Be on the lookout for more pics today!

[ag-celestina-gorillaz]

Yeah, it's been awhile since I posted, but I got new outfits for Celestina and Cy. I think they kinda fit into pride, Celestina's even kinda looks like the Bi Pride flag (if you ignore the few yellow stripes lol). I've also been refreshing and fixing my dolls lately. I tightened Celestina's limbs and gave her hair a boil wash and recurled it. Kinda looks different though, but still cute and bouncy. I'll be posting more doll pics later.

Doll to-do list for 2022

Celestina's friends and others

- Get my Lucy Phillips doll, a CYO, this one is top priority as I'm getting close to having enough money to get her.

- Get Kailey Green doll, another CYO.

- Get Jason Gomez, my first AG boy doll. My original plan was to get the Sonali mold boy (who I've mistakenly thought was a Josefina boy for some reason for the longest time), but if he is completely discontinued, I'll make do by customizing a Josefina with a boy wig and clothes.

- Finish the Meet Celestina story I've been working on, possibly work on Celestina Learns a Lesson.

- Make some basic outfits for Lucy, casual outfits, coat, pajamas, tees and jeans, ect. She has a goth/punk aesthetic, so her outfits are more specific than my other dolls.

- Possibly get Celestina's ears pierced.

- Once I get the 3 previous dolls together with Celestina and Cy, I'll have all the band members of Starshine, and I'll do some band stuff with them, like pics of performances, or interviews or something.

Other stuff I want to do outside my Celestina/Gorillaz universe thingy.

- Send my first AG doll Kami to the doll hospital, I've had her since 2005, and she's long overdue and some stuff is way too advanced for home repairs.

- Find someone to help me restring Ellie's legs (she had a wig change, so she can't be sent to the doll hospital).

- Make outfits for Ellie.

- Make a CYO of my 90's era OC, Priya Romano

- Make a CYO of my Rick and Morty OC Morti Smith (she's basically a girl Morty, for those of you who don't know, since in the show there are like a million different Ricks and Mortys because of multiverse things, fans R&M OC's are just, different Ricks and Mortys, yes I'm aware this is weird. I made a CYO of my OC in the maker as a joke, and I ended up loving the design, so now I wanna get her and create cute yellow outfits for her lol, anyways).

- I want to go to the American Girl store in Columbus, and I might be able to do that around my birthday in the summer.

- if possible, get my favorite Historical girls, secondhand market or otherwise (Molly, Samantha, Addy, and Courtney), maybe the WBU girls and Corrine.

I'm not sure how many of these I'll actually accomplish as I've been having trouble getting a job and money, but for now, I'll find some way to get the first 3 dolls I want, and get Kami to the doll hospital, if I can do those this year, I will be happy. Its kinda saying something I don't really have much of a collection, as I have only 3 AGs and a customized Disney ILY 4ever.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays from Celestina and Cy! Celestina has on her swap present dress, which I discovered is made by @futuristicsaladparadise, again thank you so much, it's so pretty. And I made a special Christmas dress for Cy.

[ag-celestina-gorillaz]

Got a cute Christmas photo of Cy and Celestina by the tree. I really like this outfit on Cy, I honestly think of this as her meet outfit, (but I also did her canon Cyborg Noodle outfit, may post later). I'm just kinda spending Christmas Eve sewing, making cookies, and watching movies, right now watching Encanto.

[ag-celestina-gorillaz]

Yesterday Celestina got a special present from Uncle Dashi. He made a cute galaxy themed dress and it also came with a matching pouch, which at his suggestion, I turned into a purse. Celestina would love wearing this when her band performs, and she'll wear it for the rest of Christmas Eve. Thanks so much @princesstadashi.

[ag-celestina-gorillaz]

Celestina and Cy have received their winter gifts from the dollblr swap.

Celestina got a pretty star print dress, and Cy got the top part of her Cyborg Noodle outfit, I'd just need to print the patches for it. I actually started working in her outfit, but tbh, the top looks better than mine. I just need to make her hat now lol. Now lastly, I'd like to know who sent me this, as I don't recognize the name on the return address. I'm sending a card with my swap gift, so the person who gets it will know it's me. You don't have to come forward if you don't want to, but I'd really like to credit you if you see this. Thank you so much! And thanks to @agwinterwonderland for organizing this.

Celestina: I never got a chance to show my new back to school outfit, my David Bowie sweater (miss you Star Man) and the sailor skirt I made myself and my new panda backpack. My school used to have to have everyone wear uniforms, but recently the uniform rule was relaxed to be optional, so we can wear what we want within reason, so this is the first time in a few years I got to do a special back to school outfit.

(I've finally been able to sew when I want again, so I've been finishing some projects lol).

[ag-celestina-gorillaz]

So I never got a chance to show some birthday presents I received from @princesstadashi this summer.

He sewn Celestina this really cute sweet lolita ensemble with the pink and blue cotton candy colors Celestina loves. She's also wearing new silver flats and a ribbon collar with a gummy bear charm.

Cy: What!? Is that doll a tiny me? How cute!

He also sent me some mini Pocky in strawberry, chocolate, and cookies and cream flavor, and a little Hello Kitty milkshake keychain. Not pictured is the real candy as I ate it all lol. Anyways thank you so much to Tadashi, and go follow his doll blog @agrosehamada.

[ag-celestina-gorillaz]

So I got a ILY 4ever doll a few days ago. I ended up cutting her hair short and was honestly happy on how it turned out. Pics don't do her justice, she's so cute in person, and I love her so much. It was tricky to get her as the nearest Target is out of town, so I had to make a trip to get there, but I was happy to bring her home.

I redressed her in a new MLA outfit I bought, and she looks so cute in it, also I can't wait to get future ILY outfits to share with her and my AG dolls as well.

Anyways, this new doll, it's kinda tricky to explain about her, she's the same story as Celestina in the Gorillaz universe, but this girl is not so much an OC as much as a different version of a canon character. Short version, this girl will be Cyborg Noodle (called Cy to not confuse her with actual Noodle), and she's a reformed version of the canon character that ends up being adopted by Lucy's family and lives as her younger sister (Lucy is another OC I have yet to get a doll for, working on it just broke lol, Lucy is Celestina's best friend, later girlfriend). I will be making special outfits for her, one of them based from canon Cyborg Noodle, others more casual. I'll post more about her as I finish making her look, as her backstory is pretty plot heavy, especially for those who don't know much about the Gorillaz lore. She was basically rescued by Lucy during the events in the song The Lost Chord, and being the tech genius she is, she fixed her and Lucy and Celestina began teaching her kindness and Cy developes emotions and her own personality. Astro Boy was kinda an inspiration for this story lol.

Celestina's Day Out

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile, I've just been busy, and Celestina has been busy with school. But today I brought Celestina along with me when me and my boyfriend went on a special outing.

First we had dinner at Fazoli's. We haven't been there in awhile, and the food was so good.

Next we went to Books a Million, and we obviously went to the best place in the store, the manga section of course!

Celestina: You can just leave me here, I can find my own way out, thank you!

Celestina: Wow! Look at all this Stitch!!!!

Celestina: Junji Ito makes for some great upcoming Halloween reads, but is definitely not for the faint hearted. Lucy would love these.

I found more of those "happy and angry" octopuses, only they're the real thing and not the knock offs.

Celestina: And SpiderHam! Voiced by John Mulany!

(I took so many photos at BAM lol, but it was so fun)

In the end, I ended up getting a copy of JJBA Golden Wind, and my boyfriend got Alita Battle Angel. I wanted to get one of the octopuses as well, but maybe next time (note, the stuff we did today was all outside of town, we haven't been to that area together since last summer lol).

But anyways, the main thing we did today was see the special 35th anniversary showing of Labyrinth in theaters. It was so fun, I love (and miss) David Bowie and I enjoyed this movie the few times I saw it as a kid, my boyfriend never saw it before and he enjoyed it too. We got our pictures with these two girls cosplaying Sarah, one even had her own little baby doll to play as Toby. Also I should note I cut my hair a few months ago haha. I wanted to take a pic of Celestina in the movie theater seat, but we arrived right when it started lol. Anyways, we had so much fun.

[ag-celestina-gorillaz]

Sorry I haven't posted in a few days. We got back from vacation on Wednesday night. I took a few pictures of Celestina.

You already saw this one, but I thought I should include it on this photoset lol. Took this the day we arrived at the beach on the view from the balcony.

Celestina: Just like Dad roller skating in the Humility video. Too bad it was a bit cloudy that day.

I love this cute bathing suit on Celestina. I wish I got pics of her on the beach by the ocean, but I thought it was too risky, and I didn't want my family asking questions. So instead I took pics with her on the rooftop pool, which was awesome! About a half hour later, I had to leave quickly because it started to rain a bit and I didn't want 'Tina getting wet. People were really nice to her though, said she was pretty, and one girl liked that she was also a Gorillaz OC lol.

Idk why, but I always have to get lollipops when I go somewhere. I saw about 5 candy shops in Myrtle Beach, and I couldn't resist lol.

And I just had to get the "happy angry" octopuses, they had them everywhere in the shops (I was surprised when I found the tiny one, so cute for Celestina).

Celestina: I'm calling the bigger one Marshmallow, and the little one Muffin. They're mother and daughter.

Anyways, besides doing the obvious, swimming at the ocean and the pools, we ate at 2 seafood buffets, went to a couple Ripely's attractions, and we did a Walking Dead Escape Room (Celestina and 2-D would love that since they enjoy zombies, but the room was so hard, we were just figuring out the last pieces of the puzzle when time was up and the zombies got us! 😝), and we shopped around a lot. The last day before we left, we went to Broadway on the Beach, and the day ended with a fireworks show.

Bonus pics of the Build a Bear I made on Broadway (they didn't have any Myrtle Beach exclusive bears this year, but I chose the dragon that had sea vibes too it, and I named her Rhinestone Eyes after a Gorillaz song I love), and me with Rilakkuma, who shown up by the BAB shop!

[ag-celestina-gorillaz]

We made it to Myrtle Beach! It was a long drive, but yay we're here and the view from the balcony is so beautiful!

[ag-celestina-gorillaz]

Celestina: I'm excited because me and dad are going on vacation! We're gonna go to Myrtle Beach, I've never been there before, but I'm excited. I got my stuff packed and we're going on the road soon. I'll definitely have to take some pictures.

(Anyways, I'm the one going on vacation and I decided to take Celestina and her dad with me lol. Though I'm probably gonna regret leaving my Murdoc plush alone in the house lol. And I know, I'm totally late for Celestina's birthday pics, I haven't had time to take any yet as I was busy getting ready for vacation and doing sewing orders and stuff, so sometime when I get back, I'll take the pics and we'll pretend that it's June 23rd haha. I definitely want to take as much pics as possible, but for obvious reasons I'm not taking my dolls on the beach haha. Also I got my hair cut a couple weeks ago on my birthday, so I'll look a bit different in my irl pics lol).

[ag-celestina-gorillaz]

What did Celestina get 2D for Father's Day?

Celestina: So I'm putting together a black jean jacket with lots of buttons and iron on patches, and it's gonna look so cool, but a lot of the patches and buttons I ordered from Etsy haven't arrived yet (and obviously mail doesn't arrive on Sunday, RIP me). >.< So I'm making a cherry jello pie for Dad today, and I'll give him the jacket when the buttons and stuff arrive. Should have ordered earlier, but I was broke.

[ag-celestina-gorillaz]

Celestina: Happy Father's Day everyone! I'm so happy to actually be spending the day with my Dad! He came here from the weird portals at Kong Studios to see me, and I'm so happy! And I'm excited because my birthday is in 3 days, I can't wait to see how we're gonna celebrate it.

(So yes, I sewn that 2-D plush, I already sewn Murdoc too, and will be working on Russ and Noodle after I get back from vacation when we go in July, and yes I realize this style plush looks odd with my AG dolls, but I don't care, I love them so much. Also while Celestina's birthday is on June 23rd, my actual birthday is June 30th, just in case you wanted to wish me happy birthday lol. If you're wondering why I was absent for awhile, this is why, it takes a lot of work to sew plushies so detailed like that lol)
