Welcome aboard Victoria! (more pix June 6)

[Alliecat]

Thank you, everybody! I'm still occasionally carrying her around the house... she's currently sitting on my cluttered kitchen table for a late supper.

gorgeous. It's like she was made to slip into your family & photo shoots. I love every pic but the last one tugs at my heart, she looks so earnest.

Heh -- that was a last-thought photo as I was packing up and the light had crapped out; just kind of held her up in front of the camera and zoomed her in and out till the focus thingie beeped. I didn't eect it would be that good
I was somewhat smitten with the 'limited' one when she came out but I think this version really is the nicest!

Great photos! And omigosh, is she adorable or what?! Now I want her, and also the beach!

Thank you! Well, you can get one of them online...

... I suspect a large part of her appeal has to do with your appropriately composed photographs! I love the photos with the maps and charts! And you actually got her to stand up outside on the rocks in the breeze while wearing that massive costume, and even her hat! You gots skillz!

Tee hee... I used a stick, and for the ones up on the rocks, her stand is hidden under some rocks. Her hat did blow off a few times. There's a bobby pin attached to it; I'm not sure what use it's supposed to be for actually holding the hat on.
The chart is a souvenir of the voyage of the green dots that you can just barely see in some of the photos. The captain who gave me it as well as the lens I shoot most of the doll pix with was lost at sea in 2012. I'm sure he'd be greatly amused to see his gifts being enjoyed.
