Always lovely to see J-dolls! Congratulations on your newest arrival - she looks classy and royal! I really like the colour coordination in your photos, and she looks so at home with those autumn colours. I really struggle with doll photos (or any photos really) during autumn because the colours and my taste (and thus my dollies) just don't match.

RE: Alliecat's J-dolls (new arrival Oct. 26) - Alliecat - 11-06-2020

Thanks, everyone! I need to do more photos of the J's. I keep saying that... sigh...
I like the warm autumn colours as backdrops, but, it's coming to the time of year when I also struggle with outdoor photos because it's cold & gloomy. (We had a bleepin' snowstorm this week. I mean, it's melted now, & warmer, but, UGH sad

)

She’s lovely. I particularly like the two shots with the flowers, both the asters & the daisies.

Congrats on winning the photo contest.

RE: Alliecat's J-dolls (Oct. 5) - Alliecat - 10-06-2024

Well, what a sad state the forum is in, that pretty much everyone on this thread is no longer here. Basically 2 regulars left, and this thread is 4 years old (!?!?!!!!), but it's mine, dangit, so I'm gonna necro it and put some photos here.

Nicely crafted wooden stairs, with rounded edges on the planks. Dag-nabbit, you might be forcing me to up my game! I need to figure out how to rebuild some deck stairs since my deck replacement project has resulted in the deck being a different height.

I can't believe you're still getting butterfly hatchlings up there in the frozen north! Butterflies are long gone here, as are the hummingbirds; and most of the migratory birds seem to have passed through. The lizards are dormant. Things are beginning to look prematurely bleak and near-wintery already.

Love the late afternoon golden sunlight in these pics. You used the light well even as it rapidly faded.

The J-Dolls are cute, as are their costumes. Are those the stock outfits... including that fun purple glitter hat... which looks like it could be converted in to a safari helmet with relatively little work?

Yeah, I don't know where everybody went. Sometimes I think that it must be me who drives everyone away from the forums. But if I stop posting, will they come back? I doubt it.

(I know that at least one of the formerly active members of this forum grew weary of my quasi-political anti-gub'mint grumbling during the COVID/vax times and unfollowed and blocked me on Instagram; so maybe I am a contributor to the forum exodus.)

Four years flies by like almost nothing, and as you say, it's your own topic, so necro away! I don't think anyone is gonna complain! Besides, the topic wasn't dead, merely dormant!

RE: Alliecat's J-dolls (Sept. 14) - Alliecat - 09-15-2025

Kinda sad that it's been almost another year since this topic had a post. The J's really don't get enough camera time. "Some day" I'll have room for a proper cabinet that doesn't hide them, and maybe I'll be inspired to photograph them more.
Aislinn & Charonne both came nude years ago; I'd still like to find Charonne's outfit because I really like it, but finally at least here is Aislinn's. Got it from someone on the FB J-Doll group who bought a stock doll & wanted to re-dress her. The boots & stockings are from Aliex-press & are a close match for the originals, which the seller wanted.
There is also a little holster & gun, but the pleather holster straps are all apart and I'll have to figure out how to put them back together properly. Not sure glue will help; the velcro tabs just peeled right off their backing. Pleather should be BANNED.
Anyway, here she is in a few quick snaps out back.

Everything but the holster is well made, including the cute little bag, and yes you can open it & put things in it.

There was a bit of rust on the hat clip, but I steel-wooled it as best I could; it'll do.

Actually pretty glad the seller wanted to keep the boots. The orginals are pleather. Good luck with that!!

Missed the good light, yet again... sigh. Oh well.

Thanks for looking!

RE: Alliecat's J-dolls (Sept. 14) - davidd - 09-15-2025

I love this look! Kind of a sci-fi battle babe! She'd fit right in with my Star Patrol characters, Danni Dare and Lyra the Creep!

Those replacement boots are nice. The velour should last a lot better than pleather.

Does the jacket have "posing wire" in the hem?

RE: Alliecat's J-dolls (Sept. 21) - Alliecat - 09-22-2025

Nope, no wire. It's just cut/sewn to flare out like that. The suede-y boots are the same make as many of the crew's shoes, most of which came from Mimiwoo. They're so well made. The girls have way more shoes than I do.

I shot a lot of pictures this week, mostly prompted by a bunch of Monarch hatchlings. I only had 9 this year. Should have been on the ball and got some more from the lady down the road earlier.... but I don't walk down there much anymore. sad

Anyway, I launched the last 2 butterflies yesterday. One was ready to go right away, after spending the night in the flight box, but her brother was willing to hang around for a few photos.

I love this dress on her.

Probably can't see without a zoom-in on the original-size photo, but she has butterfly dust on her face! yay

RE: Alliecat's J-dolls (Sept. 21) - davidd - 09-23-2025

Lovely photos in nice lighting. Looks like the sunshine cooperated with you for a few moments.

It's always fun to see your butterflies. I did not see any monarchs around here this entire summer. I only saw a swallowtail twice.

I can't make out the "butterfly dust," but the sparkling jewelry is a fun effect!

Do you have milkweed growing wild on your property?

That one was hand-held, with a little maneuvering to get the sparkle wink

No milkweed. I actually brought some from Ontario when we moved, carefully dug out of the back garden, but, the deer destroyed it in a few years. A neighbour down the road has the milkweed garden.

This photo is amazing.
