Neon’s A Doll A Migraine-less Day, More Or Less - 2019 edition!

That is a great box! Very 3-D effect!

This is a delightful photo! I love both versions! The color version has a sense of mystery and depth because of the shadows, contrast, and rich golden hues. The filtered version reminds me very much of silent movie stills from the films of Georges Méliès, who used a combination of stage flats and three-dimensional construction to create his fantasy movie sets.

And then, of course, it's Cleo de Nile in full-on Egyptian Princess glory

Thank you very much! 

Monsieur Méliès's sets are beautiful! I should steal some of those ideas for my dolls! And since I'm in somewhat patriotic mood, I'll recommend checking up Karel Zeman's work.

Ooh, I hadn't ever seen the box for this two-pack. I can see 100% why you'd want to keep it - it makes for a fantastic backdrop. Also, Cleo in full on Egyptian Princess mode is always a plus. I'm actually kind of curious as to whether those stairs could hold her weight...

Thank you! It really is an exquisite box. I'll probably pull it out again at some point to take more photos of it. Yes, the two 'real' steps can hold the doll!

Very cool box.  Kind of hard to tell what's 3D folded out and what's printed on the back -- nice use of the backdrop for this photo

Thank you very much!

Very cool! Love the filtered version especially.

Many thanks!

I'm actually kind of curious as to whether those stairs could hold her weight...

  Are you intimating that the Princess of the Nile might be a bit heavy? Fearless, ain't'cha? You must not place much stock in ancient curses and such.

Cleo knows werepuppy meant all that gold she's bedecked with. It is heavy, and it is the sign of exceptional finesse to be able to wear it like it weighed nothing. There is no princess in the whole world (and underworld) who could don it with more grace than Cleo.


Day 315

I just really wanted to take another vintage photo.





And the boring original:
