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.

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...
