So I braved teh cold today for a group portrait shot of my whole dollie family all together (which will be up later), but then after that, I also went out to get some shots of my big girls together. I had originally meant it as a sort of comparison shoot between SD16 girls and the Perennial body, but then... it just ended up being too freaking cold for much posing and the light was too weak to get nice shots inside (I don't have much lighting in my house). So... I took some pretty shots of the girls together instead. ^^;

Some of these are slightly repetitive, the 'short' version on DoA is:

There's only 21 pics, though, so... s'not too bad? ^^; Forgive me, I never learned how to be choosey.



( Cut for the rest (mostly Amy and Pearl XD) - 21 total )

That's it for now. I still want to do a nekkid!posing shoot with Yaro... I dunno when that's likely to be, though - Christmas is coming!!!! DDDD: *hasn't done her shopping yet!!!*

Okay, so I was struggling to move my sales post to DoA, but DoA is being incredibly stupid and it's frustrating me so I decided to post some pics, instead. I took these a couple weeks ago and never got around to posting them. So today I shall.

Everyone remember Amy? She's a Volks Amelia with faceup by sakuli. She can be a little 'starey' sometimes (it's the big eyes, I think ^^), but look! Freckles~



( more of the gorgeous SD16 body hiding beneath Amy's tom-boy exterior - 13 pics total )

Sigh...

Staring at pretty makes me feel a little bit better. :) I'm gonna go get a dolly now so I can have somebody on my knee... And no! Not the headless boy~

Yay!! I got pics of 3 of my darlings on the bus in the last week! :D Amy and Kist came with me to miffimifster's the other day (where I said a sad goodbye to her Irvin, who is up as a feeler and will likely be leaving the city ;_;) and I got pics of the girls on the bus and on the way over. :)

Yes! I am obsessed with dolly bus pictures, thank you. ;3 It is a little quirk o' mine. Keely also came to work with me this past week and I got pics of her, too (will be up in the next post ;3).

For now, Amy & Kist (with a couple of miffi's Irvin in here, too).

They are an adorable size together - like my dolly has a dolly!! XD


( cut for more, 22 in total )

( couple Irvin shots here )



( one of the city - look no snow!!! :D )

Thanks!

Yes! XD More Pearl an' Amy. Plus since like I said before, I got my new camera, I've been taking random shots all over so there are also a couple of Pru in her Sunday best and a couple of my Pixie kitty. :3

Nothing graphic - just two girls hanging out. :)

( CUTSIES for all - 14 total - with random preview pics out of cut )



( next cut )

Mah Pru Sweetheart. <3


( just 2 of Pru )

Pixie-Kitty! In a dark-ish kitchen no-less! :D Fantastic~


( just 2 of Pixie, too :) )

Thanks!

I didn't get pictures of too many dollies at this meet - just a few, but I will share. :) If I name any doll mold wrong or get the owner's name wrong, please let me know! >< I'm sorry~

List of molds inside the cut: Volks SWD Nono, Volks Tan Cecile Scarface, Bambicrony PingPing, Abio Angel Ling (LOTS of this boy ^^), Volks Pearl, Volks Amelia, Puki Strider.

And the other bit of good news? Amy got new eyes! Yay~ She can stop stealing Shy's. XD She now has a pair of default Elf Ducan eyes and they are such a brilliant blue, I am very happy. :) She also has eyelashes now! XD Yes! Go me~ They are blond and not easily seen, but they're there! ^^


( CUT for Meet Pictures - 17 total )

And that's it for general meet pictures - I'll post again with pics of Amy and Meryl that I took at the meet, too. :)

So these two, as I believe I have mentioned, have been practically inseperable. I have no idea what's going on, but am going with the flow~ ^^;

Amy (Amelia) and Merolanna (Pearl)

Interesting, no? They look good together, too. :3


( 4 lovey-dovey extras )

And a little "Where are they now?" action - cuddled together in my armchair. :3


( excuse the low-light - I'm still learning with the indoor shoots ^^ - 8 of these )

( 4 random extras from the photostory )

but beginnings are also the end of something else, just as all endings are yet more beginnings. It is only a matter of where one part stops... and another begins.

For instance... Amy's long and tiring day, her 24-hour-long tale of hard-luck romance with a new band that just isn't working out in a new city that had been yet another attempt at a beginning for a new life... is finally coming to its own end. Walking back to her apartment at four in the afternoon after being up all night and finally crashing on the couch of her sleazy new lead guitarist only to be rudely awakened at two to the sound of a 14-year-old groupie doing things she doesn't need to hear in the other room with him... and she's tired. Sore. Irritable. A fallen branch takes the brunt of her anguish as she goes out of her way to stomp it in two for pure spite; but it only makes her sigh. Sigh and swear.

And all she really wants to do is trudge her weary way home and curl up in her own sheets, even if those sheets are only spread over a too-thin mattress on a dirty and stained carpet.

She's just glad this day is over.

Or so she thinks.


( but all endings truly are new beginnings )

As requested by pinklacus, so follows a review of the Winnipeg Dollfie Meet this past Sunday, with pictures.

There was quite a showing at the Forks. ^^ There must have been oh... 20 people, maybe? Lots of pretty resin, too. :3 Including the lovely heathernaut's MiniFee Miyu - who is for sale has since been sold and was Very Cute!

See?!


What an ebil temptress she is, no?

It was also Very Cold that day, too, though. >> The place where we meet is surrounded by glass walls so the light is pretty good - but my camera still thought it was not enough in spots. T__T *cries over her crappy camera even though she loves it when it gets the light it needs* I took pics of every doll, I think, but not all of them came out. :( Some are just too dark or blurry or have weird yellow lighting that refuses to be fixed by colour correction. DX But I have resized and posted those that did come out. :3

I also took Amy outside (for about 10 minutes 'cuz as I said - COLD!) and got a few nice pics of her, too. :)

Also note: Please forgive me! I don't know everyone's LJ username and I didn't want to use real names without permission, so for some people's dolls I simply put "the owner's first name's initial"'s ______

( PICTURES!! 26 in total )

I apologize to anyone who's dolls I didn't get clear pictures of - it was mostly the table in the middle that didn't turn out 'cuz it was away from the windows, I think. :( Also the one row of dolls that seemed to collect shadows (you know who you are, guys XD). So I missed a lot of pretty - I hope other people got some nice shots. :)

Thanks for looking! Have a lovely day. :)

Well, it took 2 years for her to find her way home, but she's finally here and complete and may I say... simply perfect.

Amelia was one of those molds that I liked when she was released, but gradually fell in love with when I started to see owner pics and most especially... repaints. Sure, she's a gorgeous girl, default. She's... pretty, default. But as pretty as she is, the over-grown, fairy-tale Barbie look was not what hooked me. No, I saw artists like Ulat and gabriel and belladonna *swoons over Haylee [or formerly Haylee I should say, perhaps ^^]* doing something different, seeing something different. A lot of them saw boys. ^^; But mostly what I'm talking about is the darker faceups that came out. They stopped trying to 'prettify' the strength in Amelia's features, the large, seductive eyes, and the regal nose, the hint of a smirk at the corner of her lips that taunts and teases and hints at something deeper than barbie-girl-logic... and I... fell in love. She was gorgeous. And more than that, there was just something special about her that drew me in and hit me in that special place in my heart - you know the spot, the soft spot where special people and things and places just wiggle right in and stick. That part.

And after nearly 2 years of pining and working my way up to being okay with her 'OMG' second-hand-pricetag (it takes a while for me to work up to these prices, okay? ^^;)... she's finally here. Finally home.

You've all seen the head shots (or maybe you have... anyway, I posted them back when I first got her head) but now she has a body, too! How exciting!! :D And it's an Amelia body, too! ^^ Yay Perfect Resin Match Yay! :3

So without further ado... I introduce the new girl (YES! an Amelia GIRL XD), Amelie. (Ack! Ya... Heh heh heh... I fail in the imagination department with this one. Amelia becomes Amelie - she's just been my One-Day-Amelia for so long... ^^ she's just Amy, to me).

God, this girl (and her fellow x-mas purchases) have made me so so poor these few months. XD Ah, well... brief poverty in return for happiness. :3 Fair trade.



( 12 under cut, total. :) )

God, she has gorgeous legs. O_O And feet! I love the shape of her high-heel feet - but she SO does not stand unsupported with them on! XD She stands better in her flat feet. :) I had my reservations about the SD16 girl "oversized barbie" body, but in person, it is SO nice (at least imho). I really like her. She's BIG, but not too big. ^^;

She's dressed in her (one-and-only) specifically-for-SD16-girl Volks outfit here (plus scarf from the loverly kersuru) and SD16 girl Volks boots, but I've found she fits long-leg SD13 boy pants decent (they are a little short, though, if she sits - I like my pants really long). She fits Luts boy pants even BETTER though. ^^; Yay! They sit low on her hips (lower than on an SD13 boy, though look fine) and are a great length. They are not too big, they stay put and the circumferance of her thighs/calfs seem to be about the right size yay! SD13 boy shirts, however, though they also 'fit,' do not shape to her curves. :\ She will need more shirts. But she can share pants with Alex! :D This is awesome - that I can make 2 of my guys happy with one purchase - that's always a good thing! It makes my wallet happy. XD It also means she has at least some variety of wardrobe whilst my wallet recovers from this Winter season. Sorry, Alex! Gotta share for a while. ;)

Hope you guys like her. :3

Oh! Her faceup is by Sakuli. FYI. (though I took off the beard that was part of it >>)

So... there are just a few dolls on my 'WILL have... one day' list. Tony and Hewitt and Renee were on there at one point. None of which I could afford at the time of their release, but who have since come home in their respective forms. :) And now Pearl's just recently been put on the list a few weeks ago (and damn was that annoying timing XD). The funny thing with Pearl, though... is that the reason I could not afford her was not, as one might expect, that I was unemployed for the whole month before her release... it was because someone else who's been on the list a lot longer came up and was PERFECT and I grabbed the chance. ^^;

So... TADA!

Hello lovely~


( the rest under the cut - including COMPARISON with Tony - WOW!! Never noticed this... )

( Tony/Amelia comparison )

So, yes!! I has an Amelia (head XD)! Definitely looking for an SD16 girl body. Don't like heads in boxes! >< And especially not an Amelia! I love her. ^^

Gods, it was bad timing with the job and everything... but I think it worked out okay - thank god I am employed again! XD Yay monies~
