Okay, Okay a Photostory

By


This one is for you, Erica (Corset Kitten)!

This is the first photostory I ever did. It was about 6-7 years ago. I had just figured out how to set the date stamp on the camera but not yet how to remove it. I was living in New York, was massively reclusive had not yet discovered this world of 1/6th realism and hadn't even heard of Fashion Royalty. Oh and uh, I guess I was a bit of a man-hater... (you'll see)

It's cute and embarrassing to see the couch made of the Converse sneaker box, the room boxes made of cardboard boxes. I was and still am, a lover of the cheap and easy.

Okay still working on my little project but I couldn't resist this little diversion.

So click on the picture below to read the story:

    LMAO!
    Oh that's a hoot Dani! And way more cohesive than my first photostory! (here if you want to see how terrible it was....didn't even have thought bubbles!

    I loved it! Witches! I need some Charmed type witches in my doll world.

    Oh, to clarify, I JUST put those pics into Comic Life. They're old photos and I did the dialogue from memory. I started to do the bubbles in Photoshop back then and was quickly like "Screw THIS!"

    I miss having the time to do photostories but I really have to dedicate time to creating realistic sets.

    :D Heheh! That was the first story that launched me into the idea of doing the whole Quinlan Chronicles thing....(my, oh my....what a slippery slope that's turned out to be!)

    Yea, comic life is a million times easier than doing bubbles via PS (I tried that with my first QC episode and I swear I spent more time trying to get the bubbles to work out than actually taking photos or setting up scenes!)

    I hear you about the realistic sets, I really, really do! But keep at it and compromise where you have to along the way (better something than nothing at all IMO!) :D

    You are totally an inspiration when it comes to dolly realism. I mean, come on, it's too awesome! You've gotta be slightly mental, right? But yeah I don't want to slack on doing stories just because things aren't perfect. Nothing would ever get done...

    Bwahahaha!! I can't help but love Aragorn Ken... he's such a sleaze! That 'I'm 1/16th cherokee baby' line actually hurt me as I lol'd so hard!

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...
