![]() I offered a $200 cash reward via flyers, papers, and social media, but no one ever came forward with my missing package. UPS always refunds the shipper not the receiver – so my proxy had my funds from the last time I tried to purchase a DDH18 (back in May or June) before the new boy heads and eyes and wigs were released. I actually had a refund from this proxy – through no fault of her own – UPS (a shipping company in America) lost my package. And as soon as I saw it, I knew I had to have it. The DDH26 head and the WK eyes and F series wig was just released maybe a month or two ago. – 09 and I think 08 – have been released as blank heads – as well as had the previous Dream Choice only DDH16 which is what my other Dollfie Dream Boy is. I’m still trying to find myself a DDH11 – I might have found one a few days ago – waiting to hear back from (a different) proxy (than the one I used here). DDH11 and 15 – and I think 09 and 08 – are also only available via D’Coord. There are some heads that are specific only to D’Coord and not available via Dream Choice, and DDH18 happens to be one of those heads. The difference with Dream Choice is you choose the faceup, eyes, and wig, while with D’Coord it’s a randomly selected/assembled doll. At the same time, I also ordered a Dollfie Dream D’Coord DDH18. ![]() I ordered a Dollfie Dream Dream Choice DDH26 M02 Slim DDS Boy with the new Wk-24 eyes and F11/F11-2 wig. ![]() If there’s one thing I’m overzealous about it’s taking photos of my Dollfies.Īnyways back to present days. I will take one of my Dollfie Dream and take lots of photos. I did get a refund – and decided instead to go to Disney – but then COVID hit home and Disney closed too – I got married 2 weeks ago and in about 2 more weeks I am leaving for Disney World…. Obviously, I was devastated from my 40+ year-long dream in the making – being paid for – and then falling through my fingertips. Anyone that visits my blog often knows I love anime, video games, manga, kawaii – anything – and most importantly, love Japanese anime-style dolls and figures such as Azone, Obitsu, Smartdoll, and Volks – to name a few. It has been my lifelong dream to travel to Japan. Japan shut down its borders and has pretty much been in a state of emergency ever since then. Then COVID happened… and the rest is history. Rewind back to 2019, I had just purchased airfare and hotel reservations to travel to Japan in Spring of 2020. So let’s talk a little bit about why I decided to purchase these dolls.

The fungus covers nearby homes and cars in a sooty black film, choking trees and shrubs. The “whiskey fungus” has been been a nuisance around liquor facilities for centuries, but the size and scope of the new barrelhouse complexes means much more ethanol is being released in a concentrated area. Jack Daniel’s has since retroactively received the proper approvals, but neighbors say their biggest complaint has not been addressed: A black fungus that feeds on the ethanol emitted as whiskey ages. Since 2018, the company has built six 86,000-square-foot (7,989-square-meter) warehouses holding 66,000 barrels each on a 120-acre (48-hectare) property, according to the lawsuit. In Tennessee’s Lincoln County, Jack Daniel’s recently was slapped with a stop-work order after neighbors sued over a huge unpermitted expansion. The county gets about $8.6 million a year from the barrel tax, he said. “That got their attention, let’s put it that way,” Hutchins said. Soon, any new projects will be required to seek citizen input and zoning board approval, Judge Executive Timothy Hutchins said. Nelson County, home to Heaven Hill, Log Still and other Kentucky communities involved with the industry, recently approved a moratorium on new bourbon warehouse construction while the county updates zoning and permitting rules. He said Bullitt County does not want any new barrelhouses unless things change, and he is not alone. Officials like Summers are calling that a bluff. ![]() In lobbying for the end of the tax, the distillers’ group suggested the industry could leave Kentucky. Jim Beam is owned by Japan-based Beam Suntory. Now many of the most recognized brands are part of international beverage conglomerates. During the same period, the super premium segment rose more than 20-fold to $1.3 billion. American whiskey revenues since 2003 have nearly quadrupled, reaching $5.1 billion last year, according to the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States. ![]() ![]() With small batch products, the liquor slowly became cool. While the tax changes take place, whiskey is booming.Īs a former Beam executive, Summers remembers a time when whiskey was a cheap, “bottom shelf” drink. “Even with this relief, distilling remains Kentucky’s highest taxed industry, paying $286 million in taxes each year,” Gregory said in an email. Another tax helps fire and emergency management services, though it does not apply in all counties. Kentucky Distillers’ Association President Eric Gregory noted the compromise bill creates a new excise tax to help fund school districts. |
