After making two Ultrafems using Takara's Aurora bodysuit, I attempted to exercise my long-neglected & pathetic sewing skills to produce the female Dadasuit. This was mainly a nod to cheapness, since it's impractical and expensive to repeatedly harvest store-bought Cool Girl suits and discard the Cool Girl carcasses. Cheapness is one of the main reasons to do-it-yerself (even though it sometimes ends up being more expensive). Indeed, fabric is cheap, for you can make a bunch of stuff with a yard of it-- you only need to spend the intangible value of your time to convert it...in theory. Even though you get a reverse-engineerable pattern with every Cool Girl doll you buy, you still have to extrapolate and put it together... that's where the cruel issue of competence comes in. After the first fitting, I had to make plenty of adjustments. Overall, the suit results were... ehhh... okay... so I won't pretend that I have something of value to say on the subject. I figure that if I can do a crummy job of it, anyone can. The suit isn't removeable, which spared me the challenge of zipper installation. I couldn't think of any compelling reason to make it removeable since I'm not going to be designing a Dadamama Evening and Sports wear Collection. Stripe-painting was tedious and somewhat difficult due to the surface texture, especially with all the redesigns inherent in designing as you go: So much to clean up... Once again, I used a BBI "Perfect Body" as the base; It's much easier to sacrifice one of those than a Cool Girl v2.0 body, and earlier CG versions have limited elbow articulation range (but I contend that you can get very good articulation range in a single hinge, if it's designed for it). Mainly, these fully-clothed doll projects are a rare opportunity for me to use my PB dolls for something. This time I didn't shorten her too-long legs (for that freaky towering alien look), but I did have to do something about her crotch and underboob chasms-- Even if a doll wears clothes (especially a fitted outfit), the outfit needs a decent frame underneath so that folds don't get sucked in where they don't belong. Following the revelations of the Joanna Dark Squishy Boobs, I thinned the removeable boob plate so that it could conform to the reshaped abdomen without the pronounced overhang, and so the arms could cross over her front (that's a common problem for girls who have extremely large and rigid plastic breasts). I closed the crotch gaps as much as I could, knowing that she would never be sitting in the Team Dada Jeep, and did the usual crotch surgery that frees the PB to close her legs. Sadly, some of the important questions about the Dada remain unanswered: Why do they need miniaturized human specimens? As slaves, miniaturized humans are far less productive than full-sized ones. As food, miniaturized humans don't provide nearly as much protein and bulk fiber as full-sized ones. I think we would be barking up the wrong pants to assume that these were their nefarious intentions. Tsuburaya gives us a very important and telling clue-- the human specimens must be really smart. Could it be that the Dada collect miniaturized human specimens for their miniature Dada Jeopardy tournaments? Or could these miniature human speciments be an essential ingredient for their depraved breeding program to produce super-smart Dada Chihuahuas? Eiji knew, but he ain't talkin'.
