Riot in Grandville! An Ode to Cat.

By
Oooh my friends I did some good work this weekend! The boutique is almost ready to go, the wall art is up in the cafe and okay the third wall is a warped monstrosity but I still feel very accomplished. I repainted Mama Fear's eyes, Ms. Fear's and Miho's as well.  It's easy when you are using one color and not highlight it at all. But some of the Fear ladies need cold dead eyes with little feeling. And some...have just seen too much.

I had a baby shower to attend and last minute Christmas shopping so my time was fairly limited. Plus I spent a bazillion years setting up the scene below.

I got home to a wonderful surprise on Friday. I package for ME! Did I order something I forgot about? Don't you love when that happens? But no, it was a present from my friend and yours, Cat from A Doll Affinity. 

Then the girls (the plastic ones) got word of the new merchandise and things got a little violent:

Dani and her Step Auntie Zarrin (who is two years younger) do battle over the hot pink top with ruffled collar.


Nadia fights Hanna over the black leather with silver stripe cropped pants. Be careful Nadia, that girl might whip out a razorblade hidden in her bangs.
 

While everyone is distracted, Sookie goes "Yoink!"   [The wristlet has been claimed for Remi's girl, Bailey (formerly Alisha) who is a keyboard player] I'm sorry Smidge, I just read that you have a Bailey but I had no choice. Film at 11.


 Nadia defeated Hanna in the Battle of the Striped Pantalones
Zinna was the clear victor in the Clash of the Fuschia Blouse. But since she only wears party dresses this was just for sport.
 She also scored the super glam-rock drag queen shoes. I think I'll have to pass these around to each girls. They are friggin' fabulous.
Sooki models her score.  What is it with punker chicks loving the UK? You know we invent punk stateside, right ladies?

These shades are perfect for Hanna. She looks like a 70's Puerto Rican dude scoring some smack.
Thank you so much Cat!  You are awesome. You know our taste very well!

Have a great holiday you guys! I can't wait to see what you all got. I myself have already peeked. Okay I bought it myself and told the Hubs he can have credit for it.

smooches,
dani

    I have tears! I am laughing so hard...
    "These shades are perfect for Hanna. She looks like a 70's Puerto Rican dude scoring some smack."

    I don't know if you can ever allow her bangs to be fixed, they are becoming their very own entity. Haha! :)

    SO happy the girls enjoyed (fighting) for the presents!

    Ebony, me getting new clothes in is so rare, they know it's not going to happen again for a minute!

    I'm glad you liked it Cat. I was inspired by your Black Friday photo set. Now that was hilarious!

    Is that what they call a CAT fight? ROFL! Those girls were serious. Did Nadia pull out some of Hannah's hair? Oh My! Too funny.

    Hey Nadia did what had to be done in the name of fashion! I've been having so much fun actually playing with dolls. Not their rooms or painting something or buying but really playing!

    Hello from Spain: as much diorama of Cat as yours of a great day of shopping and fights to obtain what we like to buy. Your diorama is very realistic. It enchants the photos and dolls to me that you have. The shining shoes are more fashion of the moment. Are they of Barbie? It had not seen it. We follow in contact of blog blog

    This was hilarious. I have to pull out the shots of Nadja & Lilith fighting in the park over a "borrowed" outfit.

    I have way too many clothes for any of my ladies to fight over but it just happens ;O)

    TOO funny!! Were any of the guys yelling "Girl fight!" you know how they love to see that.

    Cat is so sweet! All of your girls look fly in their newly gifted fits. I especially love Sooki's outfit. Something about the UK, just makes you look cool.

    Great gifts. :)

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. ...

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-...

[in that spongebob narrator voice] Ten Years Later

By
 Well friends, it's been 10 years!  I'm not sure if any of my older friends and followers still blog or still read blogs.  I've been in the BJD hobby all this time a while it was satisfying and helped me to grow a lot as a dioramist, the call of the 1/6 scale dolls called back to me.   It was hard to make stories for BJDs because of the limited number of characters and sets.  While I no longer have a town to make stories with, nor (hardly) any of my original dolls, my new collection continues to grow and some of them are just itching to tell you all about themselves.  But these heauxs don't even have names except for two.  So lemme get on that... Returning to this hobby feels a bit lonely. My doll community was here in the blogosphere, my BJD community was through youtube and Facebook. Where are you, racy playscale collectors?  Let's get back together!  Instagram feels unsuitable for my needs. I'll see if I can direct traffic here. Who k...
