Tragedy Strikes Grandville (doll nudity)

Image
By
Grandville. What do you think? I've been thinking about a name for my town for ages and I didn't like anything. I didn't want to make it too serious or two jokey joke. My mom is obsessed with Ancestry.com and an ancestor of mine was named Grandville Philantrope. They had some seriously crazy names back then. Another ancestor is Sephora Severe. Very Potteresque.

Anyway, the name Grandville always tickled me. Sounds like a piano. And I guess the joke that "grand" means big in French and that the folks of Grandville are small.... And Grandville can be French or when pronounced incorrectly, it can also sound like small town America.

I think it's a keeper.

Anyway, TRAGEDY STRIKES GRANDVILLE!

Mistress Ava, local fetish worker and newcomer to Grandville was away at the Cooktop Spa to get her horns removed. She was having a dip in the Bubbling Hot Springs when TRAGEDY STRUCK!

Damn you Ashton Drake!! This incident has really showed me the inferior quality of these Ashton Drake dolls. Handling her disembodied leg, feeling the weight of it showed me how cheaply made she really is. I certainly won't be getting Acheron or the Dracula Wives. I didn't get this from Ashton Drake directly. I wonder if they'll be of any help to me. The most I'll get is another inferior body anyway.

Boo! I was so heartbroken. I checked all my bods sitting around but no one matches her pallor. The best match without losing the big bustline was my gypsy Carmen. You see how she feels about losing her body:

"First she makes my boyfriend a tranny, now this?"

 Here is Simi in her new body (for now):




 Not terrible in pictures, but the difference is fairly obvious in person.  Oh well, I'll keep her in clothes for a while. Maybe she's one of those goth girls who wears really light powder? Maybe she wears a big hat in the sun? I guess blushing up her face might be another upcoming project...

    Grandville sounds perfect for your town! I'm sorry to see Mistress Ava had an accident. :( You must have been pissed, I know I would be.

    I've actually decided to shelf my Integrity collection because I won't be able to afford more, it's easier and cheaper to replace a body for my playline girls. :)

    I hope Ashton Drake will replace the body for you. Or, maybe if she's the same pale complexion as DG Jasper, you can still find her online a lot cheaper. In the meantime, she looks really good on her new body.

    She actually does look like a color match for Jasper. I'll have to give that some thought. Ava is going be my major lingerie wearer so the stuff needs to really fit. And the jugs don't hurt. Hmmmm. Pale dolls always cause me issues. I'm still looking for a donor for Twilight Edward Ken!

    Hmmm...Twilight Edward. Do you think he'd match the Alice and Wonderland Johnny Depp doll? He seems really pale, and he's articulate. If so, this eBay item#390328641717 is priced at $38 and some change but I can't be sure about the head. Or maybe you can get one of those Fashionistas Ken dolls ($10 at Target) and airbrush the body a more pale shade? Hmmm...just a thought. :)

    Oh noes Mistress!! My favorite gal :(

    All I can suggest, if she's going to keep that body, is to "blush" and seal her neck and chest with powdered white chalk and let the chalk sort of fade into the normal skin tone of the rest of the body so you don't have to chalk the whole thing. The stark tone difference is what bugs you so if you sort of gradate that then it should be an issue right? Tho you can't really see the skin tone difference in the photos though so maybe you can just leave her be on that body?

    That stinks that Mistress Ava had a mishap. I don't think Carmen is too happy. If she's the same tone as Kyori didn't Integrity have the Japan skintone bodies on sale? You can check there maybe that will work

    Grandville sounds like an great town :O)

    (sorry--couldn't bear the typos in my previous comment)

    NNOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
    *poor Carmen!* Is she going to get a body replacement?

    Sucks about the Body damage :( It's obviously time for you to start getting creative with the bodies of the future! *evil grin* Unleash your inner Dr. Frankenstein! Mwhahaha!*

    PS Grandville sounds good. There's one in MI, so you can probably find like publics works signs and stuff online for it (you know, for background stuff) :)

    Great ideas folks! I might end up getting Simi another FR Body. Carmen is used so infrequently she might have to body share. Or maybe I'll get a nice action girl bod for her. But using chalk on her is another good opportunity for learning new doll tricks!

    You guys know of Em'lia, right? She changes the shade of bodies all the time. I'd love to try that...

    Oh and thanks Erica for the Grandville tips. I was already daydreaming of a "Welcome to Grandville" sign...

    Oh and of course Ashton Drake won't do anything for me but I can't blame them, even if their email was hecka snotty. Pays to buy from the source but I couldn't pass up ebay savings!

    Hey Tracy, I just saw that Mad Hatter has the different, older neck joint. Fie! Oh well, I'll keep looking...

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 ...
