My Surprise! Photo heavy.

Yay, she's here!



I'm sad to say that I'm disappointed. Don't get me wrong. She's as gorgeous as I imagined and has a naughty sort of innocence that I hoped for but didn't expect.

BUUUT:

Take a look at the wings. Total hot glue mess. I can't even figure out how they attach to her.
The cross on my coffin purse is totally scratched up:


The spiked bracelets? Are you kidding? My Liv doll spiked bracelet is better:

You know for the money, these boots should have been leather-like. Even the Pop Life girls have leatherish boots:



Like I said, no idea how to work the stand. There's a half moon piece and a stick right? So I stick the crescent on the stick and this is what it looks like:


And her two tops, a net black top and a red bustier have velcro closures! How dare you! A $150 doll?

Oh and when you hold her by the lower leg, she pulls a Matrix:


But still all in all, I love her and I'm glad I didn't wait for a nude figure to appear on Ebay. I would have missed out on that cute skirt.

I can't wait to redress her and give her a proper photoshoot!

smooches,
dani

    OMG, I would be disappointed too. That's EXACTLY what happens to my Jasper when I hold her by her lower legs..."Trinity, Help!" LOL...Her right wrist also doesn't "click" all the way in. It seems snug but it's still a disappointment. But I keep telling myself I only paid $20 for her and she is beautiful, so I put her on a LIV body and I'm actually happier.

    Congrats though, she is beautiful.

    Thanks! Maybe she'll get a new body one day. My Jasper's hands were stained too. I really like to look at a doll in person before buying. I wish I lived near some distributors!

    Congrats on getting Simi!! I knew she was bound to be your surprise (you drooled soooooo much over her it was a foregone conclusion!!)

    Hope you have fun working her over. And yea, Integrity's value for money/detail for the higher priced dolls is slipping IMO

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 ...
