Big Sister's in Town and a Lurve Connection?

Hiya folks,

I'm still procrastinating on the royal story. Every time I play the scene in my head where Princess Victoire meets Dani, it keeps changing. I positively did not know how I wanted it to play out.

Then I suddenly remembered why I wanted a castle in the first place. But I'm not giving it away yet. I'll just say this, Zolandia is not going to be the wholesome place I thought it would be.

Anyway, did I tell you about the doll trade from the heavens? I'm sure I did, but I never photographed much of it, so check it out. (You'll see the rest by and by.) When I knew I was getting the A-frame cottage, I never thought this sucker would be so big. It was so good that I couldn't let Zolandia have it. This is gonna be the party house. I don't know if it will belong to anyone in particular.

So much for my big Grandville Park but it fits here perfectly.


It's so big, I got my whole Bratz (?) sushi bar up here with no problem and lots of space for losers to hang out.

I love that 70's attention to detail. Can't wait to paint this. BUT it will be a long time from now. Maybe a year or two. I want to drink in the tacky charm.

Across the house on the bottom level. This is all temporary decor, trying this weird space on. I made some foam core walls years ago and with a little trim on top they will fit nicely on either of these open sides so I can have some options when shooting pics.

So until the house is ready for a party, (when the royals and the squares finally leave Grandville maybe) the gang is over at Population. Let's join them.

Introducing Cheri*, Zeke's older sister:
 *also from the best trade ever.

I've been wanting a blonde that wasn't pure evil like Hanna. While she's definitely got a naughty gleam in her eye, I think this blonde is going to be smart and good.
 
Pia: What the hell do you want?
Zeke: You're looking lovely tonight, Pia. I see your sister isn't here. Maybe now we can talk, get to know--


Ava: Hey, is Aragorn mackin' on your sister over there?
Zeke: Whaaaa?!

"Hey Cheri, how you been? Lookin' good."
"Aragorn.  You certainly haven't changed much."

Pia: Can I borrow Hans tonight? I need to punish-fuck something blond."
Ava: Yeah, I'm not sure we're even dating. 

Ava: Hans, darling?
Pia: Don't say a word, pretty boy. Just meet me out back.

Another set of siblings watches the action from a far. "Hey Marie, who's that girl over there?"
"Which one? They're both new in town."

"Wow, Tipsey, it's lovely to meet you. Your band is amazing. I dropped acid the other day and listened to your album on a loop for like 7 hours."
"That means so much to me Claire. Your reputation proceeds you. I hope we can work together soon."

"The short haired one wearing, like, underpants in public without looking slutty. She is spectacular"
"I'll find out for you."


"Oh no."

"Aw, man, she's leaving."
"Small town. You'll see her again."
*whimper*

I'm currently working on fixing up rooms in Josephine's house. Hanna, Claire, Aria and Sooki live there so far. I'm working on some home improvement things for Remi and Bailey. And the royals royals royals.

  3. Congrats on getting The Barbie Dream Cottage. Looks great! If you think that's big, you should see the A-Frame house. It's huge! Nice to see the crowd at Population.

  5. I have seen that same house repainted black and white and used as an Asian restaurant with the sushi bar upstairs too! I think most of the houses are huge! LOL!

    1. hahah I just saw that sushi bar version online! I'm obsessed with ooak barbie houses, but most are just too small, even when they are big!

  6. We here in the Royal World of Daniel are waiting in anticipation for the Zolandia Launch. All my Royals are ready to tune into your Royal story. Also remember to contact me if you need anything in the area of jewellery.

  7. Congratulations on the new scene setter.

    I like how you've restyled Zeke's hair and Aragon's hair.

  8. Thanks D7ana. Poor Aragorn. He doesn't have a real name and his hair could use a little update! Projects projects projects!

Grandville Summer Festival!

Hello doll friends, First up, I gotta show you this. My 4 year old was playing with my Barbie cast-offs and set up this little scene. (That yellow thing on the table is a TV shaped eraser.) Dig the lamp she made with a wedding cake and the pole from maybe a Barbie dress form? Adorbs. Anyway, this weather (raining pretty much daily for the last month or so) has wrecked my spray painting plans. Much of the royal storyline rests on this painting project. So for now I decided to continue the other stories I have going. Enjoy: "Ho-ly crap, what on earth are you wearing?" "Aw, Sook, I feel bad enough."   "Seriously. You are wearing khakis. You look cray cray. You're like somebody's mom right now. Please explain this situation." "My boss said my outfit was too sexy so I had to borrow something from Le Skater Dork over there at the cafe. Jeez, now I owe her one. Oh crap Channel 1 News is here."   "Thanks John. Lavita...

Introducing Ayumi

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. ...

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...
