Versatile Blogger Award!

By


Wow, I don't think I've ever been awarded anything for this blog. And I've had two nominations in the last month. Feels pretty good to be liked for doing what I love.

So first of all, thank you Sergio Alabiso!

And thank you to D7ana!

Both of you have been huge supporters and big time commenters even though I am a slacker and never comment on anything. I really appreciate the love.

You all can click on their names to link to their respective blogs. And view the VBA rules here: http://versatilebloggeraward.wordpress.com/vba-rules/

15 is pretty small number to nominate so if I leave you out, I apologize.

The Toybox Philosopher
Hey, It's Muff
The Duke of Swann
A Doll Affinity
The Traveling Twig
All 4 Barbie
One Sixth Avenue
My Froggy Stuff
One Sixth Scale Dollhouse
The Fashion Doll Review
Shuga Shug
I Luv Dolls
Fashion Dolls at Van's Doll Treasures
The Waverlys
Saucy Suwi's Building of The Priors

Hmm, now seven things about myself? This is always tough.


  • I'm always cranky but I'm also always smiling.
  • I always wanted to decorate store windows. I think this is why I love doll work so much.
  • I'm a mother of two girls under five that seem to have inherited aspects of my doll love. (Crafting and plotlines)
  • My family is Haitian and my husband's family is Puerto Rican. We call our child "Haitericans," which is perfect because we're such haters.
  • My husband is also a toy collector as well as a DJ (which makes him a record, cd and mp3 collector.) He also collects comic books. Sigh. 
  • I have basically had the same hairdo since I was 12. But I always wanted purple hair. One day, my love, one day.
  • I believe this bit to be true for most of us: You know how they say in dreams, every person is actually you? I believe this is true with our dolls. And those that are not were close friends or that cool girl in high school that I wanted to be like. 


Okay so a couple of those weren't about me but like my dolls, my family is me. Now if only they would just hush up and let me pose them in little outfits.

Thanks again for the nomination!

smooches,
dani

    Hi Dani! You are welcome. Glad to read more about you and to see the bloggers you recommend.

    Comments are small payments in return for your funtastic writings and diorams. More, more, more! When you can and wish, of course.

    Once, I thought that your blog was about expensive doll furniture - so glad to have found that not true. Don't know how I came to that conclusion. Never been so glad to have been so wrong. Thanks for posting and sharing your world - 1:6 and 1:1 with us ;-)

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

By
 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...

Introducing Ayumi

By
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. ...
