Honoring Vanessa Perrin

While I should have been doing paperwork and other important things, I got busy instead creating a montage of my Vanessas. I captured all 22 original sculpts. There is a duplicate and a few altered ones in there. I left out my other OOAK Vans. Can you find the altered ones and the duplicate?

"Sugar"     OOAK Poppy Parker by idrusa

Isn't this just adorable? The repaint and reroot colors are perfect for Poppy Parker. She's verrrry sweet now!
This was originally a Beatnik Blues Poppy. Idrusa did a wonderful job of transforming that doll into "Sugar."

Toxica Plus

One of my favorite doll photographers goes by the name aquabluerose and posts regularly on Prego. I am not a collector of the beautiful Sybarite dolls but I appreciate her collection and her images. Gerri knows how to edit. I am sure she takes scores of pictures at each photo shoot and then chooses the best and only the best to post. It's so boring to open a post and see pictures of the same doll in the same outfit with a fraction of difference between each of about 10 pictures. I never look past the first two or three. But when one amazing image is posted I spend time oohing and aahing. 
Today she posted pictures of Toxica. Here is one of them:

Toxica "Sun"

After enjoying those, I drifted over to her website, infidel, to look at more.

Toxica "Blood Flower"

Play "Armadillo"

Just For Fun, a Composite

Click on the picture to see it full-sized. I took some of my old Misaki pictures and combined them with new ones. I like looking at pictures of dolls I have no longer or that I rarely play with.

Paranormal Misaki

Kill me now. I've started up with the Misakis again. I thought I kicked the habit a few years ago when I sold my entire collection. Sigh. I tell myself it's OK because I'm not pre-ordering and paying retail. I'm hunting for bargains and finding them. (It's a sickness.)

I removed Paranormal's hat because it hides her lovely hair. She is so pretty.

Since purchasing Red Rabbit Misaki, seen below in Go Home's outfit,  Paranormal Misaki, Pure Evil Misaki, Ye-Ye Amelie and Royal Amelie have joined the tribe.

Misaki dolls' feet are larger than Nu-Face/Fashion Royalty feet. I didn't want to force the red boots onto her. The shoes are a Volks' product.


Yes, these are point and shoot photos. My bad.

OVAZ Fall 2011 Sneak Peeks

Ovaz keeps getting better and better. Not only are his designs wonderful, his photography rocks.  Here are a few pieces from the coming collection called DRAMA. These fashions are designed to fit AG, Ficon, Deva, Sybarite, Numina, Jamieshow and similarly sized dolls.

 

 

I love this doll.

Go North Makes an Appearance

I rarely apologize for my photography because I delete the trashy ones and fix up the rest if necessary. But I'm apologizing for taking picture of this beautiful Isha doll with a point and shoot camera. She does deserve studio time.

I was pleasantly surprised with this lovely creature. Everything works - her hair is done very well without over-processed ends; her makeup is perfect for the color and style of the fashion. If only she had an FR2 body...sigh. I will probably snip a few of the feathers that are interfering with her face but otherwise I won't change a thing.

Reinterpreted Runway Fashions - Shoes

My friend Petra from Germany found this reinterpretation by Fashion Doll Agency used on their Poete model. The originals (bottom right) are by Theyskens for Nina Ricci. Dramatic shoes!
