Catching Up

I am so far behind with my photography that it's not funny. Yesterday I took a bunch of my Sybs and other BJDs down to the studio for a shoot. It's a set-up for failure to have to take pictures without a plan other than "cataloging." Anyway, here is some of what I turned out.

"Neurotica" in a Cheryl Wood wig and Rosa Gloriosa cape.

Ficon "Leonie" wearing Ficon top, OOAK jewelry and IT shrug. Patta wig.

"Dionysis" in Bugged and a Cheryl Wood wig.

Sybarite "Domina" in Bugged

"Talc" in Bugged. Cheryl Wood wig.

"Basique Deux" Sybarite two-piece gown. Glistening Bandeau cuffs.

More OZ?

Walt Disney Studios has just released this striking character featuring the Wicked Witch of the West as envisioned in their upcoming release, Oz the Great and Powerful.
Disney’s fantastical adventure “Oz The Great and Powerful,” directed by Sam Raimi, imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum’s beloved wizard character. When Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he’s hit the jackpot—fame and fortune are his for the taking—that is until he meets three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone’s been expecting. Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity—and even a bit of wizardry—Oscar transforms himself not only into the great and powerful wizard but into a better man as well.
“Oz The Great and Powerful” is produced by Joe Roth, with a screenplay by Mitchell Kapner and David Lindsay-Abaire (credit not final). Grant Curtis, Palak Patel, Philip Steuer and Josh Donen are serving as executive producers. “Oz The Great and Powerful” opens in U.S. theaters on March 8, 2013.

For us, it's all about the dolls. These are the only images I could find. I'll be on the lookout for more information regarding release dates, availability and prices. They look very interesting. If you are an OZ lover, these may belong in your collection.  They do not look like Barbie. Yay.

Monster High Dolls Oozing Glue!

It was recently brought to my attention that the Monster High dolls made in Indonesia have a serious problem. Apparently after the dolls' heads are rooted, a glue is poured into the head to secure the hair.
The following links were sent to me with so much information that I thought it was important to post this here. I haven't checked my MH dolls yet. Luckily I have only a small collection of these creatures.
