Cravings

Forget pregnancy cravings, I have doll cravings!

I've been obsessed with the idea of creating a goth style house for Sooki but she's 16 and making her an emancipated minor is just going to reek havoc with my storyline.

And I decided that my dolls are frozen in time and not allowed to age. Sorry Sooki, you're 16 forever.

But this goth palace idea keeps haunting me. hahaha no pun intended. There is so much cute goth/Victorian stuff out there. So many ideas for wall coverings and delightfully spooky 1:6 scale goodies to hunt for.

So after much internal debate, I've decided to get Simi from Ashton Drake:



Okay is she worth $150? No, not really but I'm a little in love with her. And really, Sooki's adorable and could go the Harijuku Goth Lolita route, but Simi's dead sexy (oh my god, really the puns are not intentional!) and could be my dominatrix goth chick. All my crazy patten leather get ups will have a home!

I can use Stinker's Stuff walk in closet tutorial and give her a little chamber of torture. Hang a gimp in there and we're all set. Also the hubs saw all manner of 1:6 S&M tools on the internet that I can buy.

And there are all sorts of furnishings I've had my eye on as well:


Of course one has to consider that I will be out of work for 3 months and I can't actually afford Simi, but I might as well start window shopping, right? And building my closet dungeon!

  1. Wait a minute!!! I have seen owner photos of Simi and her lips are pink. Friggin' PINK??? Not blood red? Fudge! I was already going to let her be my first partial reroot (the bangs do not look good judging from other photos). But she'll have to be my first repaint too? Pink lips? What the hell?

  2. Keep an eye out for Simi on the boards & on the dollpage. I saw one go for 90+shipping the other day so if you can be patient (and take her nude) you can probably get a more palatable deal on her!

    And hey don't let a little repainting put you off! It's great once you get started! :D

  3. I'll be coming to you for repainting advice CK! There are so many dolls that need just a little tweaking. I'm sure being able to repaint really frees you. And reroot! I'll keep an eye out for some Simi deals.

  4. No problem! I'm always willing to lend my advice & so will others (like Nat). It does really allow you to put your own stamp on a figure & release some personalities that you might not realize are hidden behind the factory paint!

    Hey, quick question (how come I'm not on your links?) You not like me or somethin? :P

    I think I've discovered what 2011 is going to be the year of for me! (I'll be updating on the 1st to reveal what!)

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 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. ...

Ugh whatever. Just, here!

Folks, lemme tell you, I am so tired of my little big project. The big stuff was easy (spray painting and such). That was over weeks and weeks ago. It's been the small stuff. And I'm still nowhere near done but I'll do the rest in Phase Two (Bailey and Remi's wedding). I miss my dolls so hard. I have two new beauties I haven't even taken shots of. I have pretty new clothes that just sit around, unworn, unappreciated, unphotographed. Stories untold! All for this shizz. Before: And today, Grandville's food truck, Enchanted Eats! Lights! "Lavita Terrell here for Channel One News, Grandville. I'm here with Mistress Ava Stronghold in front her food truck, Enchanted Eats!" "Mistress Ava, food trucks are so last week. Why bother? What makes Enchanted Eats different?" "I've got to disagree Lavita. Food trucks have been around as long as humans have had markets. They're just taking a new form. I thin...
