Ken's Last Chance at Life as a Man

Image
By
So when I give my doll a personality and a mate, I always try it on for size. Sometimes dolls just don't have chemistry. So before making the important step of repainting, maybe rerooting, possibly resculpting, I want to be sure I've given him a fair choice. Hey maybe he's just a girly looking dude who loves chicks. So I'm letting him spend some time with Carmen.

Every picture I take in my house without a flash is yellow. Not just in the monstrous cedar room. What's up with that? White balance?



Hmm, Carmen almost seems sympathetic. Her eyes are saying, "I support his choice, but I'll always love him..."


 And he looks like "We'll always have shopping."


Here's a good shot of the caravan so far. And the pet camel? Look I don't have a horse yet, okay?
So I guess that's the clincher, Ken will soon be June. (For this awesome transgendered homeless kid on 20/20). Stay tuned for progress.

    I dunno...I still really like him as a guy. :) I love the idea you had of piercings, maybe some tattoos and with a little "dirt" sculpting mud (or something close) I think he could be really hot! I'm thinking something like Robert Smith from The Cure. ;)

    I'll stay tuned to see what happens.

    Oh man, you are so right, he is just sooo girly! Well, you gave it a shot, but he is who he is. :) I'm really excited to see his transformation! (So funny-- it wasn't all that long ago you talked about being nervous to swap heads! Look at you now!)

    I swear I've been posting comments and replies everywhere and nothing is showing up!

    @Tracy: I'm actually considering getting another one and making him my goth boy. But either way, lots more goths in the future!

    @Smidge: Thanks honey, I needed to hear that. I follow some doll blogs (including yours) and I see how much people progress in the span of a year or two. Though I don't have any doll related career aspirations (yet), I do still want to get better at this stuff!

Introducing Ayumi

By
I haven't been feeling particularly inspired with stories in Grandville, but their plastic lives are being led, with or without my story telling. And I have to practice my photography so instead I'm going to do a Cliff Notes if you will, of what has been going on in Grandville and who all these new characters are. First up, Ayumi. I might give her a new name at some point. I hate keeping the Integrity name but sometimes it just happens. She is a Korean supermodel who uses her funds to support her research as an astrophysicist. She got her Ph.D. at 18. This is Ayumi's house. Well, one of them. This is Ayumi's boyfriend of 10 months, Raj Nirvana. He's a yoga instructor. They have a harmonious relationship. Still, she wonders about that girl Marie. They seem to do a lot of talking after his yoga class. Ayumi loves hanging out with her girls. Nothing quite as fun as a day of shopping. Claire sighs, "How weird to have a bank account. ...

Introducing Nymeria and the Alurium Vaccarra

Ever have a couple of days off Facebook and though you wonder what happened to your friends over the long weekend, you can help feeling a little peaceful? That's how I feel in my week of staying off the blogs and forums and various sites. But I missed a lot! So many cool posts! It's going to take a while to dig myself out. One must wonder, did my creative spurt have something to do with not being all over the web looking at what everyone else is doing? Anyway let's get to it. So on my birthday, my three Stardolls arrived! Aside from the outfit, that Paris one was not cute. I dunno, she's too boring looking. But Iris was THRILLED that she got a new, dressed doll. Well for a few minutes anyway. Did you know that they can't bend their legs? Like they can't sit down? Terrible. Anyway, the other two were great! Inspiring. Meet Valentina. A Columbiana who restores classic cars. She was very happy with a Liv body. She might be Nadia's next girlfriend, w...

The Return of Vita Plastica

By
Hi guys, good to be back! Let's get to it, I have a lot to cover. Basement Studio Like I said, I've moved my workshop into the basement. Soon I'll move all my crafty stuff down there and have upstairs purely as a showroom. So here's my workshop so far. Sigh. A work in progress. Dry Brushing I heart dry brushing. It's easy, it dries fast and even when you do a major screw up, it looks awesome. I strongly recommend it for those heavy of hand and prone to mistakes like me. I had one of these Barbie vanities. Was it a My Scene? The one that came with the leopard skin seat. It was originally peach I believe.  I painted it brown and it was serviceable but the model paint began to chip over the years, so I dry brushed it. Behold: It came out so well, I couldn't stop there. My next victim was the dining set I got in trade with Cat from Doll Affinity . I think this will go into Josephine's blue room. I forgot to take a picture, but you'll see ...
