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. ...

Grandville Summer Festival!

Hello doll friends, First up, I gotta show you this. My 4 year old was playing with my Barbie cast-offs and set up this little scene. (That yellow thing on the table is a TV shaped eraser.) Dig the lamp she made with a wedding cake and the pole from maybe a Barbie dress form? Adorbs. Anyway, this weather (raining pretty much daily for the last month or so) has wrecked my spray painting plans. Much of the royal storyline rests on this painting project. So for now I decided to continue the other stories I have going. Enjoy: "Ho-ly crap, what on earth are you wearing?" "Aw, Sook, I feel bad enough."   "Seriously. You are wearing khakis. You look cray cray. You're like somebody's mom right now. Please explain this situation." "My boss said my outfit was too sexy so I had to borrow something from Le Skater Dork over there at the cafe. Jeez, now I owe her one. Oh crap Channel 1 News is here."   "Thanks John. Lavita...

New Goodies!

But first, some news: Projects: Still working on the studio space for Remi and Bailey. The Hubs came in and voiced what was in my head, "So where is that kid supposed to sleep? That's messed up. There's no room for him?"  The last thing I wanted in Grandville is a kid's room. I don't want this rated R world changing into something wholesome. Buuut, if there is to be a custody battle for Julian, I have to make the case, right? So on top of the studio space, I'll build a little room for the brat to use. Maybe I'll give it a fun theme or something. Space or sci-fi or something that doesn't involve sports. I'm also working on a space backdrop for Nymeria and her sister. Then I can finally introduce you. I decided to go with a sort of cheesy 60's sci fi movie thing. That's what inspired the Alurium Vaccarra anyway. So, a sort of intentionally cartoony backdrop. The last project for now is my high school. I wanted it to be a three-...
