Strollin' Around Grandville

My mom had the kids for a full 24 hours so I got to spend hours on dolls! I have still avoided editing any bridal shower pics, so here's a little somethin' while you wait.

Zinna strolls through Grandville park...

On her way to her new office space right next to her house! (office still in progress).



 Ian skates by, wishing he could have a girl like that.
 Unnamed Sulu doll watches the record store while Ian's away.

 Valentina and DJ Nadia get cozy.



Morgan hangs out at Cafe Josephine with Penny and Sooki, telling an animated story about an ex-boyfriend.

"See that's why I love Johnny. He's just not the cheating kind."   
Collective eye roll from the table.

Isha and Melody Lane take tea at the cafe.

"Melody, it's been 2 years since the divorce. Stop dressing like a prude and embrace your sexuality again."

"I know just the thing that can help..."

Meanwhile, across town, the skanks get ready for the Bachelor party...


"Ahhh, mischief managed. Just a quiet night at home by myself? Not if I can help it."
 
Hanna macks on Sooki's Johnny Tan!




"Oh don't look so surprised. You wouldn't have me any other way."

Smooches!
Dani

  4. I love Grandville! Ok, so the park came out REALLY nice! Lovin' the ATM machine and I think the park bench has character. I like the decor of Zinna's office, very cool. Sigh, I wish I had the cash to fork out for Isha...she's stunning! Nadia is my girl, I think she's found her match. Valentina, doesn't seem like the clingy type like the other chick (sorry, forgot her name).

    Ah...Sooki, so young, so naive, LOL. Like Chris Rock said..."A man is only as faithful as his options..." so girl, put down that Chai Latte and go over Hanna's house and take away his "option." LOL...

    Hanna is the girl you hate that you love. :) And "the skanks..." priceless, LMBO.

    More, more, more...

  6. Thanks guys! I know I don't do many photostories these days so I gotta keep you interested in these lives!

    Poor Sooki. But she's only 16 so she has years and years of getting a clue. Ha! I love that Chris Rock quote Tracy! Hahaha!

    Vanessa I can't wait to see your park! I was drooling over that birdbath. I am missing out on Marshalls, Ross, etc.

Introducing Ayumi

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

 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...
