Hello Poe


Made by blackeyed suzie, found on etsy.
I wish he were small enough to fit into a dollhouse.

Shonibare



An 11" high dollhouse...complete with afro-anglo furnishings - all made to represent Yinka Shonibare's real-life home.

I want it.

Bring me it's head on a platter.

the snoring twenties



What exactly happened here? Is that a hat or a lacey bucket?
I know the cloche was big in the twenties, but was there a top-hat version of the cloche that looked like that?
A junior high school history class project? Maybe?

A rare sighting

Tyler Wentworth's Future

Photobucket


This is pretty much what all of the Tonner Doll's are starting to look like to me. The giant round face, the stout bodies. Deanna Denton, Tiny Kitty, Tyler,
Kickits (a true abomination).
What happened to my small headed pug nosed Tyler?
Remember when her feet didn't turn inwards? I do.

This image looks like a giant Arthurian Kickit.

More scenes from down the rabbit hole






Life in the rabbit hole


I have several houses. This one has an American Folk Art theme. It's like American Gothic with a hard candy coating. It also reminds me of cranberry bread in the winter.
And Tasha Tudor's books. I used to covet her "Doll's Christmas" book when I was 6 years old. I was in kindergarten and I remember figuring out that I could just walk out with the book in my satchel and no one would know.
Yes, Tasha Tudor taught me how to steal.

Dance Pants DeviAnts



wooo hoooo Ants in Pants!

I LOVE BLUE EYESHADOW when it's done RIGHT and they did it.
The beauty mark is also perfect.
She is porcelain and can wear anything.

The girl can pose.

This doll is lovely and thrives on camera when shot fully - not face closeups like everyone does a million times over (I know I am guilty too - see my posts below!). The facepaint is very simple - works from a distance, but is a little hard to appreciate when blown up 10x larger than life. This doll is very good at wearing Tyler Wentworth's crap line of clothing. There I said it.

Eugenia - the ultimate bitchy barbie


I really like the bitchiness of this doll - she really looks like she would eat (and purge) my Superstar Barbie for breakfast. The lips are over the top, but it works.
