One of the most impressive posts that left a profound impression with me was when she decided to educate me about how a doll should be built based on a resin figure and how it could be compared or implemented to the
Superbabe doll. To share some history of that post, here is
Azimuth_Design .
What's so funny is that I only made a small observation of how similar the
Superbabe looked with some of Mike James' resin figurines. If you look at the reply that Ish posted, it will link you into the
Azimuth Design/Superbabe thread and you can see what a great review or report she gave on the possibilities of creating a new doll between the two companies!
The way it was written and the photos that she provided to show how each stage of development would have to occur, really opened up my eyes! After I read the review, I realized just how dedicated Ish can be on any subject and not just the administrative part of TDF. I said to myself, if Ish ever gets a
RealDoll and if I could manifest my ideas in creating a new doll for the market, Ish would be first on my list to do a comparison/review of
RealDoll against my version. I would just simply ship one of the prototypes free of charge right to her doorstep because I know she would be thorough and fair if came to the point of telling me what improvements, modifications I would have to make in building a better product. I had that much confidence in her. I know if she posted anything on this forum in relationship to my creation,she would give you guys an honest and straight forward opinion of whether or not my product would be worthy of purchase or not. She is that protective. But as fate would have it, this can no longer be. There are others in this forum that I believe that could provide this same service, but Ish just seem to grab my attention when it came to her own way of showing support for the members of this forum.
Another post that I found very interesting to read from the past was how a particular movie affected her especially one specific scene. The topic was
Loly_was_very_tired_this_morning... and I made the comment of how Loly looked like
Rachael the replicant from the movie
Blade Runner. I found it interesting that one of the most memorable scenes for Ishtaria was the death scene of
Roy Batty which was no doubt a the high point of the movie. Ish even provided us readers a couple of audio files including the last words that
Roy said before dying in the movie, which by the way, the files still work in the "Loly" thread. There is no doubt that Ish is a person who felt a lot in this life.
I guess for Ish, it was her time, but in a different way. To try to fight the good fight was a weight that was just to heavy for her. I also echo the sentiments that Tweety was implying and that is if any of you forum members are in a deep rut in this life, please talk to somebody. I don't post much, but p.m. me or somebody and get that weight off your shoulders! I don't care if it sounds stupid or embarrassing or whatever it is that is causing you to feel that bad...SPIT it out!
When I read Ish's
Merry Christmas thread and then I had to read Bill's announcement thread of Ish's death, it was unbelievable. There can't be any answers to a situation that went from that extreme to another. To leave this world, is to leave a mortal hell, but I hope her passing was quiet and in peace. My greatest hope is that the 'ol Master will extend his infinite mercy for our Dear Friend Ish.
