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!

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. ...

Zee Gypsies!

By
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." ...

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...
