Monster High Invasion
Let me just say that I never hung out with the Goths in college or anything and I'm not into emo or horror. So I'm not quite sure though, why I've developed such a thing for the Monster High line but it's clearly becoming more of a thing for me than I thought it would. I guess it doesn't hurt that I do have quite a significant love and fascination for "True Blood" "Vampire Diaries" (Yes, I admitted it) and Vampire lore in general. LOL!!
I now have six MH Dolls from both the "Dawn of The Dance" and "Gloom Beach" line and I am waiting with baited breath for the "Schools Out" versions of Cleo Clawdeen and Frankie although I'm hesitant to get another Frankie because I just feel like no one can compete with my Frankie Stein. She's the first MH doll I ever bought and I just love her so much. The recent addition is "Dawn of the Dance" Clawdeen (my second one)and she is just...all kinds of stunning! I guess I just really like their proud freakiness! LOL!! I also got my first MH male doll, Holt Hyde just before her. Umm, I couldn't resist that fiery hair! I'm coming to realize that I really like that cartoony fantasy colored hair. It was her green hair that initially turned me off of DOTD Clawdeen when I first saw her but as usual, someone's flickr pics of her turned me right around and I knew she was something special. I would love a fantasy hair colored Blythe one day soon as well. I'll probably just customize one of my own. I need to finish what I've started before I can move on to that. But this is just kind of a warning that my MH collection will be increasing this summer, a lot.

Yay Weekend!
Spent most of Saturday with Hamsa and Hendrix in the park, taking pictures of flowers and Bees and trees. I have yet to go on one these trips with my Jill Bliss nature drawing journal. Looking at the beautiful flowers in the park is really inspiring. I'm not the best at drawing but I need to just try it this summer.

Blythecon 2013?
YOU HEARD ME!
Erica sent out a feeler on flickr for Blythecon 2013 in NYC a few days ago. She's gotten about 80 responses or more by now. eeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Please check out the link and respond if you're on flickr and are interested. And if you're in NYC or not and would like to come, please check out the link for more info. I wish it could be next year but I can understand how that might be too soon for some. I'm just so excited to have it here in New York! I so wanted to go to Portland and had a blast chatting with all the other Blythers who couldn't make it on Virtual Blythecon this Monday. It was great watching it on live stream and hearing all the hilarious comments on all the activities we observed. I hope that some of the cool people who made it to Portland can come to NYC as well!
Erica has proposed that this one in New York be two days long so that there can also be time for workshops and such. I AM SO THERE!!!!! I am living for a sewing or customization or any kind of workshop like you wouldn't believe!

Fave Blythe Pic of the day
She's wearing a dark trench in a dark hall and looking around suspiciously! Is someone following her? What is she on her way to do? We may never know.

I think I need this
Yesterday I was out from work on a sick day and had a few errands to run in Chelsea. I went into the Container Store, a store I can go into any day with no actual purpose at all but to browse. But in this case there was a container I wanted to check out.
It has like 20 small drawers and 6 large ones that will come very much in handy for all my dolly accessories. I'm getting it this week and really hoping that it will allow me to take my bed back finally! I may need one more but I want to see how much this first one can hold before I get another. I'm really excited both for the space it will provide and for some organization!

Takeo's Jason Wu pants arrived
First off they got here so quickly. I love domestic mail!
You can't really tell but there is no difference between this pair of pants and a real pair of men's pants. None! They're just smaller! There's even a teeny tiny working zipper! It's insane.
i love it.

Barbie's Next Top Model
I was up late last night on flickr when I stumbled upon this! I just love it! Personally I wish that ANTM, a show I used to love years ago and also think should have ended years go should follow a very similar format. I don't care about the catty behavior, the drama, the hating. I just wanna see the photo shoot challenges, exotic sets and locales, judging and elimination. Here, done incredibly well with amazing shots of customized barbies and a clean, quick format, you get humor, excitement, and sometimes disappointment (LOL!!) all in 5 minutes or less!

MSC Virgin No More!
Horror stories of custom Black Blythes turned white after spraying the MSC (Mr.Supper Clear) hobby spray and sealant made me avoid even the thought of using it on any of my girls. But after Erica Duh, who does amazing Blythe customs recommended it at a Blythe meet especially for working up layers of color on eyelids, I had to seriously rethink it. I bought my first can of MSC Flat several months ago in ebay. I'm just discovering you can get it on Amazon as well. I figured I would experiment on one of my white Blythes first because what could go wrong right? She's already white. Plus if she got too pale I could always sand it off which I absolutely cannot do with a Black Blythe which has been painted first. Anyway, Bowie was my guinea pig for the first MSC spray and she came out great. I just did a few light sprays and wallah!
So but this week I decided somewhat riskily that If I am going to put Castaneda on the market, I better seal her face and back plate and just make sure she's in the best condition possible. That's one of my anxieties about selling a doll, which by the way I have never done. I see a tiny scratch or an imperfection anywhere and I think, "Well I can't sell her. She's not perfect." I'm gonna have to get over that. One of a kind means imperfect. But anyway, I sprayed Castaneda and she's fine, a little more matte looking than before which gives her face a marvelously wieghty look as if she was made of ebony porcelain. I just love her. I glued her scalp down last night and will let her sit for another night just to be safe. Don't ask me how I finally fixed her t-bar and eye mech. It was a labor of love. It's still a bit tricky and her pull string, which I've replaced with ribbon has to pulled more out than down in order to get her eye chips to switch down. I intend to mention that in her description when I sell her, if-I sell-her...which I intend to! .....mostly. LOL!
Sneaking...
This is just my favorite Blythe pic of the day!!!
Taken by camembear who just added me as a flickr contact! Her photos are so fun! And I just love how her adorable daughter participates in them!

Dolly DOF (Depth of Field)
I was just playing around, shooting dolly pics with my camera in the manual setting which I have never done before. This gives me way more control over depth of field which I love! I will definitely be using it more often.
