Dear Diary: How I Came To Be ✍

Hello everyone. Chance here. As most of you know by now, I'm a Valentina Girl plush doll from Sweden. I left the factory as a basic unstuffed Catalina Travel Performance model, with only a couple options. Once I got to the states however, things radically changed. I kept a diary of my experience and over the next several days, I'd like to share with you, how I came to be... 🙂

Day #1
Dear Diary,
Today it finally happened. Someone in the USA claimed me. I was taken down from the shelf where I had been resting early this morning and taken to the sewing room. There I was turned inside out and my behind got reshaped and a long zipper sewn down my back as per my new owner's instructions. That felt kind of weird, but I didn't mind because I knew it meant I was going to have an amazing rear end. After that I was rolled up tight, in cling wrap and put into a small box.

Day #2
Dear Diary,
The box I am in is getting thrown around a lot. I can't see anything, but I can hear people talking and the sound of machinery. I think I may have even been in a large truck at some point.

Day #3
Dear Diary,
I've been jostled around so much I can't tell up from down or sideways. I'm not in the truck anymore, but I can tell I'm no longer in Sweden. From the sound of the voices I think I might be in Germany, but I'm not quite sure.

Day #4
Dear Diary,
I'm on the move again. First I was in a truck, then the box I'm in got tossed down a chute with other boxes and I could hear muffled PA announcements and I think jet engines! That's when I realized I was being put on a plane! It's scary, but I think that means I'll be at my new home soon.

Day #5
Dear Diary,
After what seemed like forever, the plane finally touched down and my box was taken off and trucked somewhere. No idea where I am. It's very quiet and dark and it's been hours since I've been moved. I'm starting to get really scared.

Day #6
Dear Diary,
The box I'm in is getting thrown around again. So far I've been in 3 different trucks. First a small one that didn't make much noise, then one that sounded really big. I was in that one for a really long time. After that I was in a small truck again and was taken someplace where there was a lot of machinery running.

Day #7
Dear Diary,
Last night I got put in a little truck with a bunch of letters and boxes. We drove around in circles all day, before I was taken out and left on someone's porch. I was there for about an hour I guess before being taken inside.

It was quiet for a little while, then I could hear the sounds of my box being opened. I got kind of excited, because I knew I must be home. I got unpacked and unwrapped, then spread out on a big table. That felt really good after being cramped up for so long. The first thing I saw was a funny old man with a big smile on his face. He didn't say anything, but I knew that must be the one who claimed me.

Day #8
Dear Diary,
Something awfully funny is going on. The old man left me there on the table overnight. He came back this morning with a ruler, marking pen and a pair of really sharp scissors! Next thing you know, he starts ripping the stitches out holding my lips and nipples on! What the hell...? Then the old coot flips me inside out, measures and marks my neck and lops the whole top of my head off along with what was my throat! What the hell have I gotten myself into? 🫨

To be continued....

Uurrr ! Best keep away it could be me next 🫢

The last photo reminds me of a horror movie I once saw, body parts all over the place😬

I'm not usually squeamish, but that looks freaky. I hope this doesn't give Bobby ideas to do anything with me!

I am looking forward to the next part though😁

Day #9
Dear Diary,
I laid here all night with the top part of my head in one corner and my body in the other. Mid afternoon the old man came back. I thought maybe he was going to put my head back together, but instead he started ripping the stitches out of both my heels!

Afterward he opened it up, he cut a wedged shaped piece of fabric from what use to be my throat tunnel to fill the gap. Well that changed the position of my feet and actually made them a few shoe sizes bigger. Huh... us Valentina Girls do have small oddly positioned feet. Maybe this old coot is not so crazy after all and is trying to fix that. Does kind of feel better now.

Day #10
Dear Diary,
Well both my feet are fixed now and today I got my calves enhanced. That's an option you can get at the factory, but I guess he didn't order it since he was going to modify my feet.

Day #11
Dear Diary,
I think I'm going to get a new head, because the old man brought this skull thing into the room today.

Valentina Girls don't come with a full skull, just a hard face mask thing for their Real Head option. Maybe he's trying to fix that too. I'm not sure, but right after that he started measuring and cutting the lower half of my head. When he got done he stitched everything up and somehow the lower half of my head, turned into a neck!

Day #12
Dear Diary,
Well, I'm still waiting for my head. I thought I was going to get one today, but instead the crazy old coot started playing with my boobs! First he folded the bottom part every which way, then he started pinning all the tucks he made in place.

I didn't know what he was trying to do, but somehow my boobies didn't sit up so high anymore.

Once he was satisfied, he stitched everything down tight and took out the pins. I don't know no what to say... my boobies hang just like a real girl's now. I'm starting to feel kind of pretty. I hope he plans to do something about my lack of nipples though... :rolleyes:

Day #13
Dear Diary,
I'm still nipple-less and haven't got a head yet, but today I got a hand-job. No, not that way. You have a dirty mind, Diary! No, I got palms, lines and better definition.

Day #14
Dear Diary,
This is really embarrassing. Today the old guy started playing with my private parts! Well, he didn't hurt me or anything, but he started creasing, folding and stitching this and that down there and when he was done, I had a real girl's one of those too! Good thing he gave me better hands. I think I might need them later... :devilish:

To be continued...

Wow, that's fascinating. You now have bigger feet than me and your Boobies are smaller too. I do hope your going to get some nipples

That Mr... Or should I call him Dr. Franz seems to be very creative😁

Day #15
Dear Diary,
I got a visit last night. It seems there are other girls here and two of them are Valentina Girls! That makes me feel a little better. They told me not to worry and that the old man who's been tending to me is called, Mr Franz. They say he loves dolls and that he won't hurt me. I hope they're right, but I'm still not sure about all this... 😟

Day #16
Dear Diary,
I'm kind of scrunched up in the corner at the moment. That Mr Franz fellow is working on that skull thing I told you about. I guess it had some flaws or something, because he smeared some pasty stuff all over it and he's been sanding the hell out of it all day! 🤨

Day #17
Dear Diary,
I'm getting scared again. If that's my skull, Mr Franz just started cutting holes in it! 🫨

This is getting really weird. I just noticed eyeballs laying on a table.

Huh... could it be that's what the holes are for? He cut a channel down the center of the nose and another big opening below it. Maybe I'll be getting a proper nose and mouth??? :unsure:

Day #18
Dear Diary,
The weirdest thing just happened. Those eyes I told you about yesterday? Well, Mr Franz tried them into that skull today and all of a sudden I could see out of them! Not only that, but I could move them all around. :oops:

I don't know what kind of wizard this old coot is, but that was really cool! Well, while it lasted anyway. He just took the eyes back out, so I'm back to watching everything from the patch eyes in the head I came with. Oh, well. :rolleyes:

To be continued...

Oooh that skull face looks kind of freaky, with those eyes looking out!

Your Diary is a fascinating read though Chance. Has Mr. Franz ever thought of building a fabric girl from scratch?

I know, right? Wait until you see it with the inner skin and eye sockets fleshed out. Talk about your horror movie... 😱
Thanks, Coco! Mr Franz says he wouldn't rule it out, but for now it's easier to modify someone else's work than to start from scratch. Apparently, us Valentina Girls are just begging to be modified and improved and since we're available without stuffing, we make a great project base. I guess it helps if you're handy with a needle and thread too. 🧵🪡

I'm not sure if I'd want Bobby to modify me, I'd probably end up with my Bobbies back to front and my head where my feet should be😂

One thing I have thought of, but it's a bit late, is maybe being a hybrid like Holly is, I could have a TPE head and a cuddly body
and Bobby could have the best of both worlds!

Can’t wait to see the end result

Well if your boobies were on your back, you might not be as much fun to look at, but you'd be great fun to dance with! 🤗

That's the best thing about us. We can be whatever you need us to be. 😚
I am the end result! This is the story of how it all happened. 🥰

Well Chance, I'm sure I would be fun to dance with😁

If I had my dream head and became a hybrid I wouldn't mind this one

Day #19
Dear Diary,
Mr Franz got a package in the mail today. I don't know where it came from, but it kind of looks like bones! Anyway, he was pretty excited about it.

He disappeared for a while. Then I heard a lot of sawing and drilling. When he came back he had these things and started sticking the bones into them. 🪚

Next thing you know, he grabbed that skull he'd been working on and made this. 💀

Day #20
Dear Diary,
Mr Franz has been measuring my feet, cutting stiff foam rubber and bending cable all day.

When he got done, he fastened everything together and stuck them on the end of that skeleton thing he made yesterday.

I don't know what he's up to...

Day #21
Dear Diary,
I think Mr Franz has lost his mind. Today he turned me inside out and started shoving the end of that skeleton thing in my feet and packing it tight with polyester fiber! 🦶

Huh... my new feet do look pretty good... Anyway, he kept pulling my skin up and stuffing until I looked like this.



Hey! I can stand! Well, half of me anyway. Whoa.... and just look at my backside!!! 😍

To be continued...

A half a Chance! hee,hee,hee 🤣

Yes, very nice derriere you have Chance ( french for behind ) looks like a peach😁

Day #22
Dear Diary,
I'm still only half a girl. Mr Franz stopped pulling my skin up over that skeleton thing he made, I thinks it's called a ball and socket armature, to work on my hands. Looks like I'm going to have real articulated fingers. 🤞

Day #23
Dear Diary,
Here we go again. My skin is being pulled every which way, to get it up and over my skeleton. That Mr Franz sure uses a lot of colorful language! I've heard people say "Son of a Bitch" before when they get all frustrated, but never "You mother of a Whore Goat!" 🤬

Wow, what a work out that was. I'm just sitting here now waiting for Mr Franz to come back. I think he's taking a nap or something. :sleep:

Day #24
Dear Diary,
My head's not on yet, but Mr Franz put some comfy undies on me. 👙

Check out my new hands. They work great. ✌️

After that he started carving on my skull again and test fitting it. I hope my new head is ready soon. I can't wait to see what I'm going to look like. :unsure:

To be continued...

It is not really too late. Look at it like a makeover. (Like plastic surgery on a F&B female)

Holly still has her original VG head. It is just tucked inside unchanged. (It wasn't removed because Pex wasn't sure her PVC head would stay attached long term).

But Hollies head is PVC, not TPE or silicone, because implanted human hair is a must have and it's only available in a PVC head

PVC head is harder but in reality, it matches closer to a human head in overall hardness. (If someone made a PVC head with a TPE mask. It would be perfect). Also, a TPE or silicone head would feel awkward and weird on a plushie body because of the extreme weight difference. Holly is nice and balanced.

So even though I am TPE with a nicely sculptured figure, I am jealous of Holly.

Maybe start a new thread to discuss that and show how Holly was made?

Mr Franz likes to keep his fabric girls all plush. My head has an inner core though, so it feels and looks more realistic than the stock Valentina Girl head, but has the same soft fabric as the rest of my body. It's also lightweight, so I'm not top heavy and it's easy to remove. You'll see more about how Mr Franz went about making it in tomorrow's Diary post. ✍️

Yes, I'm looking forward to the " head " part Chance and those strange eyes😁

Day #25
Dear Diary,
It's been an ever so strange day. Here I am looking out from my original head, watching my new head and face being made. 😶‍🌫️

Last night, Mr Franz spread PVA glue inside and around all the new openings he carved into my new skull to keep them from crumbling. Today he lined the neck hole with a thick and stretchy knit fabric so it'd fit smooth over my neck stump.

After that he started making a nose with real nostrils and everything. Looks kind of gross if you ask me. 🤮

It got even more gross when he made ear holes and lined the eye sockets! YIKES! They look all bloody! 😱

Day #26
Dear Diary,
I don't know what to say... My new head just got covered in that thick and stretchy knit fabric. I look like a bloody, Smurf! 🫣

Oh, you know what? I think that might just be the inner flesh. That'll give the skull added strength and weight. He made some padded cheekbones too to give the outer fabric shape and softness. I do hope those pins are going to come out. :oops:

After that Mr Franz cut the eye and mouth openings and test fit my eyes and silicone lips. 🤔

I don't think he likes those lips. He was cursing a lot, saying something about not being able to get anything to stick to them. 😤

Day #27
Dear Diary,
I was right. Mr Franz didn't like those silicone lips. He took them out today and started making me new ones from the fabric of my old lips. Hey, looks like I'm going to have teeth! 💋

Look, my new fabric mouth looks just like the silicone one. 👄

Fits better too! 🫦

To be continued...

Hey it's Pinhead from Hellraiser!😁 you lucky girl getting teeth too! I have to suck everything cause I've got no teeth, that's why I like ice cream

Day #28
Dear Diary,
It's been a very exciting day for me. Mr Franz has been hard at work giving my new head and face it's final layer of skin. It wasn't easy either. Everything needs to be cut and fit just right so none of the seams show. Look how nice he made my new skin fit! 🪡

Oh, those pins are coming out as soon as the adhesive dries... 📌

Day #29
Dear Diary,
The strangest thing just happened. Well, Mr Franz had to cut the mouth and eye openings into the fabric covering my new head. To keep everything straight and even, he just followed the contour of the scull underneath to make the eye slits. The thing is, my scull game direct from a China. So when he folded the slits over to make the upper and lower lids and popped in my eyes, look what happened. 🤭

I look Asian! Who knew? 🤷‍♀️

I know Mr Franz was not planning that. I just happened by Chance. Hmmmm... that's not a bad name for me... :unsure:

Day #30
Dear Diary,
Today I got some cute ears! 👂

After that my new teeth got installed. 🦷

Hope Mr Franz puts my lips on soon. I look like bugs bunny without them. 🐰

Day #31
Dear Diary,
My red lips got put in permanently today. They look good, but I had to bite on a pencil for a while until the adhesive dried. ✏️

While we were waiting for that to dry, Mr Franz made me these out of my old ones. ❣️



I was wondering when he'd get around to finishing my new boobies. Anyway, by that time the adhesive dried and my lips were attached nice a tight. 👄

Day #32
Dear Diary,
I got some more details today. Eyelashes, toe and fingernails and Mr Franz even made me some cute earrings!

So now I'm all done! 🥰

Excellent, Nothing to it really

Well that was fascinating! You looked quite cute without your hair, eyelashes and eyebrows chance😁

I see you have part of your old head left, is that going to be made into something?

Well, all I can say is you look cool and well done to Mr. Franz!

Day #33
Dear Diary,
I'm still getting use to my new articulated body, face and head. I like my new body. It's nice to be able to grip things and hold a pose without any extra support. 🦾

I can stand too, but Mr Franz forgot to add extra material at the back of my knees, top of my thighs and tummy to compensate for the reclined position my body is designed with from the factory. As a result, I can't really straighten up all the way. Other than that, my body is pretty neat and I can wear lots of different clothes.

Then there's my face. I mean, what can I say? I'm downright pretty! :love:

But the best part of my day was, I got to meet the other Valentina Girls who live here. Dhila and Priya. 🥰

They're both really nice and they made me feel so welcome. 🤝
