New Year's Photo Dump!

Happy New Year my friends! Hope you're all recovering well.

I'm not officially restarting this blog for a couple of weeks but I need to publish the shots I've been taking with my new camera so they don't just take up space on the hard drive. They are an improvement to be sure, but I'm still learning (slowly and reluctantly).

First up, in Zolandia, the royal family has a lesser noble over for tea and cards. I've been obsessed with the historically creative CW show, Reign. Mary Queen of Scots and her ladies in waiting? Love. Dani is currently reviewing some lady in waiting options. JLo is among them.

So a few posts ago, I talked about the A frame cottage. The Ikea furniture did a world of good. [If you're a Facebook follower, you've seen this already.]


 I cut up an existing foamcore dio and gave the old girl some walls.

 The back side now has foam core walls too. 

To paraphrase Woody Allen, How to Make dolls laugh: tell them your future plans for them. Ayumi moved right the hell into this house and all my plans went out the window.



 "Don't mind the pile of bodies outside. The maid's day off."

Now on the back wall here is the white Expedit shelf on its side instead of the black chair.




Ayumi and the gals (Tipsey, Clair and Hanna) chillin. Now there are two of these couches back to back. More room for party guests.


Hanna looking all awkward among her new friends. I wonder if she would loosen up if she knew Tipsey set her art studio on fire?
  

Okay folks, that's it for now. I'll take some pics of what I've been working on while in hiatus. See you soon!

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...
