Happy H'ALOHAween from PTFCo! (belated encore)
#1
The PTFCo crew would like to wish everyone a happy H'ALOHAween!
Because it's freezing out; because we had to do the photos indoors; and because our hearts are somewhere warmer...

Had to shoot in the doorway with flash because it was gloomy & raining.  The puking pumpkin is our standard design...

...but pineapples are very much going to be a Thing around here.
All ready for the party...

It's cold outside.  Spread some aloha!

Thanks for looking grin


(P.S. Every part of the pumpkin is useable!  Don't waste them!  I have recipe links if anyone wants them.  Mr Pumpkin had 2 dozen delicious pumpkin-gut-muffin children last night   LOL )

Love the pineapple lantern. Just the thing to bring some cheer to a gloomy day.

Everyone looks like they’re having a great party!

Nice work carving the pineapple! That's not easy to do! And often quite messy and sticky!

Lovely glowy fun photos! A very merry H'ALOHAween to you and all your little friends!
They're not dolls, they're action figures!

Thanks everyone! grin
The weather could be worse; I had lovely talk-story visit on the phone with a friend near Boston who said they got 6" of snow last night.
It's crazy how much work an indoor shoot with multiple dolls, light-painting, and fire, can be! LOL

Some recipes for noms:
Pumpkin Gut Bread
Pumpkin Gut Choc Chip muffins
How to roast the seeds
And with a little effort you can cut up your pumpkin, roast the pieces, and make your own puree.

Mr Pumpkin lives in the fridge when he's not on display so he'll keep for a bit till I bake him.

...I wonder if pumpkin-haupia pie would be weird...? wink

Seems like you all had fun! And Daesani is a boss babe, isn't she? smile
I love the carved pineapple, such a cool idea! And now I'm craving pineapple again - I've been for some time, but never got around to buy one. Will you try to plant the top? I've been meaning to try this ever since a colleague told me earlier this year that this can be done Whacked

Thanks everyone!  Yep, Daesani's got attitude for days LOL
I've tried to root pineapple tops probably half a dozen times.  Supposed to be very easy in water, & better for a damp area where there's not a lot of great light -- less likely to mold than in soil -- but they never 'take'.  sad  I'll stick this one in a glass but I don't ex-pect it to root because it's been kind of cooked by the candle, even up inside where I'd be peeling it off to.

...Yeah, I know, Halloween is over, but I wanted to do a few more pix before I baked Mr Pumpkin (he yielded 5 pies' worth of puree), and before Mr Pineapple dried into slouching decrepitude.  He already looks a little tired here; I had to prop up the top because it fell off in the middle of a shot!
And, according to my 2 wee Polynesian princesses, H'ALOHAween can go all year!

The J-Dolls protested being left out.  A justified complaint.

Our hearts are in the tropics, and Aloalo has fond memories of a lovely garden.

Mahalo for looking!  grin

The extra shots are grreat, and I'm pleased that the J-Dolls made their displeasure known so that they were included.

and LOL at the out-take - it looks like some of ours while we are trying to set everthing up.

Aloalo & Crystal look very relaxed in the last one, dreaming of warmer places.

Belated Happy Halloween! I guess she got into the punch during the focus check pic! LOL

The Halloween Pineapple is awesome! Would be pretty fitting here in Australia. These pics and outtakes are great.

Great outtakes, and happy to see the J-dolls also joining in!

I'm sad to hear that the reality of pineapple top-rooting seems to be much less effective than what the videos seem to suggest sad I really need to try it the next time I get a pineapple.

Do I spot it right that Andreya is wearing some sorts of high-heels? How did you make up your mind about removing her boots? Having heard how they break the ankle joints, and also having broken a J-doll ankle joint in the past (and trying to preserve that shoe was really not worth it, arrrrrgh!), I never dared to even try removing the footwear from either of my Andrassys.
