The New Grandville!

Hi folks!

I am so exhausted. I haven't even wanted to take any available time (any time the girls are sleeping) to blog or take pictures. I really wanted the doll room together. Still much more to do but I'm off to a good start.

But first, I think you should sit down. Let's talk. During the unpacking, it was just like any other doll situation, the dolls direct the action. Sometimes you can't help what a doll is feeling. It's no one's fault. Well, it's mostly Hanna's fault. But Dani and Felix are not getting married. They tried to reconcile but Dani just couldn't live with the whole town knowing their private shame.

Dani now resides at Josephine's Home for Wayward Singles where she set herself up with a lonely girl studio apartment.

The new owner of her and Felix's house is Mistress Ava. I'd been wanting to do a goth house or give her a dungeon, so she has a little of both.

Okay Ava, I get it, I'll put some kind of risers under this furniture. Damn, you're tall.







Here's Dani's new place:



I'm toying with the idea of giving Felix the attic in which to brood but I never like to waste a domicile on a mere male.


Let's see what else is happening around town.

Josephine, Nikki and Marisol about to head out for a night on the town. I dunno what Bianca's doing. Maybe spending the evening pressing her collars down.

This will likely be Tallulah's place. Veronica is just hanging out. 

 Some other folks got dressed. Aoki's hat is purely to tame her bob, okay folks?

Raven is still dating Lucas. She might be getting close to ready to give up her maidenhood. Ms. Fear vamps it up in the rear. 

For some reason, I dressed a lot of dolls in more red than I usually do. And they all wanted to dress a little sexier too.  Sooki's here and wondering why Johnny Tan hasn't called. (Ignore unnamed Morgan boyfriend.)

Baily and Remi really missed each other. As soon as I dressed him and stood him beside her they sort of fell into each other's arms.

Hot Wax and Heroes is coming together. 


Recently named Maxie scoots around town.



Hans orders a drink and Raimunda is open for business. If you know what I mean.



Penny shows her sister Pia her favorite Grandville haunt, Population.

Recently named Amber tries to get Ian's attention. Ian is trying out wearing contacts to get Penny's attention.

Okay now for a tour of what I'm working with:

On the right when you walk in. Josephine's house is on the same wall as the entrance.  The gyspy vardo is on top of Fear Manor there.

Then we have Fear Manor along this wall. I've spread out grass and I'll be securing those sidewalks.
 

Then we have Bailey and Remi's loft.

Then we come to the back door. By the way that white thing in the middle of the room is the changing table I have been coveting for two years. It's finally mine and I have no room for it. For now it's a good portable surface to work from.

On the other side of the door, against the left wall, Ava and the vehicles (and the Grandville baths).

The record store and alleyway. 

Then Club Population and the gross bathroom. Grandville Park is usually on this desk but since the girls won't be hanging out in here much, I was thinking of putting it on the floor under one of these tables. We'll see. It's still evolving.

This house has an incredible vibe. I'm really looking forward to doing some stories and projects here.

Okay back to work!

    1. I am excited too! Every time I turn around new stories are developing. The way certain dolls look at each other. You never expect it but suddenly, a strange new love connection.

  6. Congrats again on the new doll room! My goodness, you've been a busy little bee. The town looks so flippin' cool, I can't wait to see everyone especially my beloved/hated Hannah. :) Dani, should have given her a good ol' fashioned, earring coming off, hair pinning back..."girl, hold my baby..." beat down, before kicking Felix to the curb. ;)

    So good to have you back!

    1. Tracy, I don't think that story is done. After all, if someone burned down your studio with all your art, you'd want revenge, wouldn't you? Mouhahahah!

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

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
