The Dive Bar Bathroom

By
I have been sick all week so forgive me if this post is hazy and devoid of humor.

When I work on projects, I start 3 more before I finish one so I wondered if this would ever be completed. I still want to add some things. A hand dryer, a garbage can, more garbage on the floor and some scenic water in the beautiful toilet.

This project was a lot of fun. I may try to do more gross things in the future. It takes less precision and yields better results than the "pretty" things I attempt.

May I present to you: The Dive Bar Bathroom:



Raven looks up at Sooki, "Man I'm gonna get gonorrhea from this nasty toilet."
Sooki replies, "Well, that's the only way you'll get it, virgin."
"Better than being a slut like you!" Raven retorts.
Sookie giggles, "If you say so!"

Penny writes anti-Hanna graffiti on the wall:




Hmm, my urinal is too clean...

Sooki dictates a supplement to the graffiti. 


Here's a view of the light fixture.

Here's how I lit the bathroom. (I will add more lights for future scenes)

"God, I can't believed I touched that toilet, but I'm too drunk to hover!"


Here are some shots sans dolls. See? Needs more trash.






Really it's a lot more sanitary than some bar bathrooms I've been in!  It's not perfect but I'm really proud of this work.

smooches,
dani

      Thanks Verona. Seeing my sister's face when she saw my toilet in the works was priceless. And her comment, "But um, why?" let me know I was onto something!

    It's fabulous! I was thinking it needs a condom machine, too. When I saw the first picture, I immediately thought, "is she sitting on the toilet? Oh No!". Lordy, lordy. She could have at least put toilet paper down. I love it!

    Sorry, I'd have to squat over that toilet. Heck, even the walls have stains ... eeeewwww! Now some of the grottier public restrooms that I have seen have had balled up toilet paper on the ground, candy wrappers (mind and soul shudder at the juxtaposition), and - no lie - poop scooped on tile. No lie. But yours doesn't have to descend that far ;-D

      I feel you! I went to the bathroom in a pizza joint in NY and I guess it was the employee bathroom? I swear to your, there was poop smeared all over the toilet! It was crazy! It was like too much to have come out of one human! I ran outta there (without eating of course!)

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 ...
