Mademoiselle Marie Returns to Grandville

Caution: Doll nudity.

Oh my dears it has been a hellish couple of weeks in which the girls have entirely forgotten how to sleep. There is hardly any doll time these days. Still, I am working on a project to be revealed in a week or so. Always gotta keep those hands busy no matter how little time I have!

Anywho, Mademoiselle Marie is back from getting an intensive hair transplant and face up from our own dear Cat from A Doll Affinity, who at this point I'm going to consider my personal re-rooter. As you saw on her blog, she did a fantastic job giving Marie dreadlocks.

If you remember, poor Marie was frightful to look at.


So I was all giddy to rebody her then the trouble began. Pour quoi Marie?! Sacre bleu!

Mme. Marie has a soft fleshy chest plate that pops off. It's the same body as Ms. Fear but Fear's chest is hard. The fleshy chest must have somehow shrunk. Her head flopped around, it was a mess. I put her on Miss Fear's body (who now has a CZ girl body) and the same head wobble!

Look at the mug on this dame. I had to make something work.

I tried some Obitsu parts and different types of bodies and nothing worked. I finally put her on her own body and gave her Ms. Fear's breastplate. A bit off color but not too shabby.

 She was originally going to be sort of a cyber fetish goth? I dunno what to call them. They wear fetish gear and do all kinds of anime type stuff with their hair. Like this.

But I got a much more gutter punk vibe about her. Hmm, a google search for gutter punk did not yield what I thought. There are these punks around here who basically dress like classic Sex Pistols type punks, but instead of black, they wear brown. It's very Mad Max. They look like they just rolled around in mud. Let's call them mud punks.

UPDATE: They are actually called Crusty Punks.

She's like the kind of girl who doesn't shower much but seems to get laid just the same. She's going to be Felix's sister. Maybe I should put her in the wedding...



What a face. Beautiful job Cat! I can't wait to put little cruddy little charms in her hair like Jack Sparrow. I thought of also dipping the tips of the dreads in a bleach and water solution.
 Iris photo bomb!


Here's a quickie of Felix and Dani's new house. It's all white now with wood contact paper floor in the living room and some tile in the kitchen. Just gotta do the floors on the second level, hang some art and it's done (ish).
Had just a few minutes to shoot Bianca and the family. I promise a full scene soon. You're going to love to hate her. She needs a redress. Those pants are just too short. You can also seen the remains of the saddest park bench ever. It collapsed on me.
 Josephine is none too pleased with her new houseguest.

smooches!

  1. Wow! Marie and Felix and Dani's new house look smashing! And for some reason, I always love villans! Can't wait to see Bianca's official apperance!

  2. I know! My most devious characters are the most popular! Poor Dani (the bride to be) she's so oatmeal and cornflakes. YAWN.

  3. Marie turned out really nice. Her dreads suit her. Enjoyed seeing all the pictures. I love the Bianca Jordan doll, so I can't wait to see her in action.

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

 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 ...
