Zee Gypsies!

I'm home today, the kids are at school (half day), so I decided to take some pictures with my little window of time.

I rarely show the gypsies and one of you guys requested it, so here they are!

"Hello, I am Carmen Kirpachi. Welcome to our home."


"This is my husband Milosh."
"Hallo."


 "This is my brother, Franco. While his gaje girlfriend Josephine is in Paris, he's spending a lot more time with us."

"Excuse me, I have to put some more wood in the stove so I can get dinner started."

"My goat stew is Milosh's favorite but we need to get the pot hot first."

"This is my living area, also known as Franco's bedroom. But we don't mind. The Romany love having family around."

"Milosh says I drive like a fugitive so he doesn't let me drive very often."


"But sometimes I put a glamour on him and he forgets how much he hates my driving."


"I come from a long line of gypsy witches. Though I prefer to work my magick out in nature, when I'm indoors, here is where I do it. We also eat here when it's raining out."

"Ah, I am getting a strong sense that you like to play with dolls. I'm very psychic that way."

"Here, across from the stove are some potions, spell pouches and magickal instruments."
 Here's a better view.

 "Ugh, I need to fluff up these pillows. There's no reason to have a messy house when it's this small."

 "Here is the shelf on the other side. I need to keep lots of potions and things handy."
 [Jeez, some lighting really shows you where you gotta scrape off old glue!]

 "Outside is where I do most of my tarot readings. Now if you'll just give me a moment, I have a client."

"But what does it mean, Carmen?" asks Tallulah.

"Your true love is coming to you. It will take some self sacrifice on your part, but he is coming."

"And this is how we spend our evenings. Talking, singing, playing music and laughing (mostly at Franco's singing voice)."

"Thank you for joining us in our home. We hope the flesh human allows you to visit again."

    1. Thank you Dark Beauty! I have always loved gypsies. Once I grew up and learned about real Romany and the prejudice they face, I loved them even more!

    1. Thanks I'm glad I did. I want them to be more involved in Grandville. Kind of the fantasy portion meeting the mundane portion.

  4. I found myself laughing again! (^_^) "Milosh says I drive like a fugitive so he doesn't let me drive very often." The pictures you placed with that statement was too perfect.

    1. I was sort of weighing out how much truth in the husband/wife relationship I should put. So I think we can assume Milosh TRIES to stop her from doing whatever she wants, but nothing can stop Carmen!

    1. Thanks D7ana! It took me so long to find the right doll for the role. I'd been wanting to do the caravan for a long time. I had a trailer like this as a kid and always wanted to find it again.

  10. Ack! Their van looks cool = colorful and classy, neat and well-planned.

  11. Oh to live the simple carefree life of a Gypsy. I love their humble abode, and Carmen & Milosh make a gorgeous couple. I wish I would have gotten two of that Johnny. He's hot!

    1. He sure is hot. I need to give him his pivotal body back. I think he was on my Harley body. My men are so unimportant, I just give them like 2 bodies to share. Ha!

  12. OMG, love, love looooooooooooooove when you show off the gorgeous gypsy caravan! (And of course, I love Carmen!)

    I don't know what it is, but Grandville really agrees with your guy dolls. I swear every time I see a dude I thought was ugly hanging out at your place, he goes on my want list!

  13. Thanks Smidgey. Who wouldn't love their namesake? I secretly wonder if Dani is my favorite doll because she has my name...So which boy are you lusting after? Jack Sparrow or Fox Mulder?

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

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
