A doll as often as I get around to posting..... 2022-2023

I like how you always see the world in Sci-fi first, reality later!

OK, I seriously want a t-shirt or a poster or a bumper sticker or SOMETHING with that on it.

Simbelmynë (Dana) in Mota Doll's Clothing. You may recognize her from her recent trip to the Renaissance Faire and her attempts to make Happiness Happen. She reminds me a lot of Frara.

davidd: ok, I will make more photos of Lilac my weekend goal!
Alliecat: I love the style of Marika's wig also. So cute and sassy.

Don't forget the writhing tentacles!

Oh its so lovely to see pictures of Dana in different clothes and wig because she was one I had also considered buying. Her little blonde curls are lovely!

davidd: ok, will try to work in writhing tentacles...

CatDragonStorm: it's a mohair wig for an antique doll, but I agree that it's lovely!

She is cute. Is the wig itself also antique?

No, it's modern, I think from Monique. Actual antique wigs are often in terrible shape, so I've bought a number for my antique dolls.

Darony, the overlooked Prunella of Dals. Such a beauty.

Helena.

And Romantic Queen.

Helena's blue eyes are very striking. Romantic queen is a beautiful doll all round, the romantic dolls all had beautiful stock but was it good quality? Alice's stock was overall good quality but I had to cut the bow off her neck because it had been sewn through the lace on her sleave.

Darony stole the Romantic Queen stock from Byul (something that often happens in my household). I don't remember any issues with the stock.

Helena has pretty blue eyes and Her Majesty looks quite regal indeed.

Ofc romantic queen was byul! Damn I wish she was a dal, still gorgeous photos

For you, davidd: new photos of Lilac! No tentacles, unfortunately.

Mona (DeLorean) is one of my favorite modified Dals. I like how her whole look came together.

Lilac's cute little princess-inspired costume is totally adorable; indeed, sufficiently adorable to make up for the lack of tentacles or other horror elements.

But it's those cute ones you have to watch out for. Lilac definitely has a mischievous glint in her eye. No telling what she's up to!

Mona is a cutie, too, with her moon and stars costume.

There often seems to be an occult theme in your costume choices, I've noticed!  

(Or maybe you just like pretty moon & stars & geometric patterns... but I'm going with "occult" because, y'know, October.)

Mona is adorable! I really like her wig.

davidd: I do like stars, the moon, the sun, the planets, space.

Thanks!

Both very cute. I like the idea of an all-purple colour scheme for a doll.

Wow Mona is gorgeous, she could be a princess with wavy hair and a long dress.

Thank you all for the nice comments!

Here is another girl who needs more photos - Benjamin Franklin Pierce aka Bennie (Deneb).

She's very yellow but I love her faceup.

This is Constant Comment (Dotori). For some reason when I was doing her first photo shoot I felt like she was chattering in my head all the time.

Benjamin Franklin Pierce - I see what you did, there!

Bennie looks like she might be a quiet little girl, but CC, yeah, she just looks like she'd be chattering away non-stop all the time! Is she one of your faves?

(I know you don't have "favorites," but... is she?)

I really like Bennie's dress. And I know a couple of people who could be nicknamed "Constant Comment".

Her name certainly is!
