Ken's Last Chance at Life as a Man

Image
By
So when I give my doll a personality and a mate, I always try it on for size. Sometimes dolls just don't have chemistry. So before making the important step of repainting, maybe rerooting, possibly resculpting, I want to be sure I've given him a fair choice. Hey maybe he's just a girly looking dude who loves chicks. So I'm letting him spend some time with Carmen.

Every picture I take in my house without a flash is yellow. Not just in the monstrous cedar room. What's up with that? White balance?



Hmm, Carmen almost seems sympathetic. Her eyes are saying, "I support his choice, but I'll always love him..."


 And he looks like "We'll always have shopping."


Here's a good shot of the caravan so far. And the pet camel? Look I don't have a horse yet, okay?
So I guess that's the clincher, Ken will soon be June. (For this awesome transgendered homeless kid on 20/20). Stay tuned for progress.

    I dunno...I still really like him as a guy. :) I love the idea you had of piercings, maybe some tattoos and with a little "dirt" sculpting mud (or something close) I think he could be really hot! I'm thinking something like Robert Smith from The Cure. ;)

    I'll stay tuned to see what happens.

    Oh man, you are so right, he is just sooo girly! Well, you gave it a shot, but he is who he is. :) I'm really excited to see his transformation! (So funny-- it wasn't all that long ago you talked about being nervous to swap heads! Look at you now!)

    I swear I've been posting comments and replies everywhere and nothing is showing up!

    @Tracy: I'm actually considering getting another one and making him my goth boy. But either way, lots more goths in the future!

    @Smidge: Thanks honey, I needed to hear that. I follow some doll blogs (including yours) and I see how much people progress in the span of a year or two. Though I don't have any doll related career aspirations (yet), I do still want to get better at this stuff!

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...

The Giveaway! And more.

You guys, let's talk. After I set up Grandville in the new house, I was sort of bored. I liked getting everyone unpacked but I really didn't feel like telling my stories, posing dolls, finding outfits for them. I didn't know where to take this doll thing next. And since my doll break at the end of last year, I've filled up my evenings with other things, especially Facebook where I remember I'm a writer again (in short blurbs). But what I don't feel like writing, are doll stories. I was at this doll crossroads, and already donating and trading away some good stuff when I became suddenly, surprisingly aware that I was (am) pregnant! How did this happen? Well I have a few ideas. I'm 37, I had been debating whether to have another. Sometimes, I swear, I'd be sitting with the girls and think I'm hearing a 3rd kid crying in the background. So that choice was made for me I'm very happy about it (and terrified). And the choice about dolls was made ...
