New Character in Grandville

Ah, I have something to blog about!

I got this gal before Christmas but she was very picky about her outfits and nothing I was able to grab from the closet was fancy enough. I finally unearthed some things and she seems content for now.

Introducing Princess Victoire of Zolondia, sister of Prince Victor, aunt to Dani Fear.



I am in love with this doll. She looks really different in all sorts of lighting.

Dynamite Girl here.

A little Monogram here...

She's giving me FR Eugenia here.


Anyway Princess Victoire is next in line to the throne after her brother, since he has no children (or so she thinks). She's always taken well to the royal life. She quite likes being better than everyone else, unlike Victor who ran off with that Japanese girl for a year. She is the one who is concerned about the people of Zolondia while he is off on his secret trip [psst, remember, he's in Grandville] It is she who should sit on the throne!



Is Victoire a villainess? I dunno, let's just say she falls in with some bad company and maybe takes some questionable advice. But I haven't figured out how it's all going to end yet...


She's a busty gal. This is a Poppy Parker dress (who has the same bustline as Dynamite Girls). Once again Integrity swindles us into buying different sized clothes.


For once in my doll life, I may just keep her hair all wrapped up like this. Yes, I'll probably eat those words sooner or later.
She is kind of inspiring me to create another town, a small piece of Zolondia. But we'll see the space I'm working with in the next house.

smooches,
dani

  1. I'm loving Princess Victoire. She does look like she could be nice or mean given the circumstance.

    1. Thanks, I think she'll be kind of in the middle. Good parts and bad, like most of us. But her bad just has more...power.

  2. She really is some kind of enchanting. I love how you captured her in different lighting! That dress is beautiful, and even though it is a bit small, at least it still works. And I adore her in those elaborately detailed earrings. Looks like the two of us will be moving within months of one another. Hope finding the new place goes faster and smoother for you and your family. *hugs*

    1. Ah, you too huh? I know moves are stressful but we get to redecorate our spaces and opening up each box is like a present. It's the physical moving that's the worst! Wishing you the best on your new home!

  3. She is beautiful! It will be interesting to see if she's able to mingle well with the Grandvillian's 'cuz this girl is throwing some serious shade. :)

    Congrats on getting her Dani. Good luck with your move and looking forward to your next creation/purchase.

    1. Thanks honey! I know it's a big expense but my next purchase may have to be a fancy pants camera. My Nikon's battery container is broken and duct tape is holding it together! At least I finally figured out 'white balance'!

    2. I have zebra pattern duct tape holding my Nikon's battery container as we speak, LOL. They need to make those darn things parent proof. :-O I haven't loaded photos in a while because I need to add more memory to my dusty computer. I only load a couple pics at a time, just to make sure it doesn't crash me. :)

  4. Hello from Spain: Happy New Year. I love your princess Victoria. I really like the dress she's wearing. She is very smart. I had not seen before this doll. Gorgeous! Keep in touch

    1. Marta, she is called Victoire Roux. She's supposed to be based on the 1940's I think. Very pretty girl, right?

  5. Lovely lady! I kind-of hope that the bad advice will be coming from Hanna. But then again, I'm being biased because I like Hanna so much. I hope Victor will get to see Atsumi again.

    1. hahah Verona, how could I forget everyone's favorite villainess? She's in exile in Sweden now, but she's not through with this town!

  6. Wow, she's striking. Especially the first photo. I like her not-quite shy wave.

    I look forward to watching her character unfold.

  7. She’s lovely and quite regal. Character wise, she could go either way. It will be fun to know what she whispers to you as you decide her future.

  8. She's a beauty! Congratulations on getting her.

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." "

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

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
