Elfy's Doll a Week 2019

[neon_jellyfish]

That's a funny shot, it really looks like a still from some action scene!

It's a very fun shot - Diana looks so disappointed in Abu, and it's like Aladdin and Jasmine are just in shock. What has he done to get arrested?

[Elfy]

I’m wondering if he attempted to steal The Joker, he looks like he’s made out of silver, and Abu probably couldn’t resist.

[Alliecat]

Happy Birthday, Elfy!
And yay for birthday shopping. From this haul it looks like you had a lot of fun.

[davidd]

Happy Birthday!

It's reassuring to see that another young fella about my age is still getting... action figures... on his birthday!  

[Elfy]

Thanks David. Action figures are for kids of all ages.

[Elfy]

Roni, Kit and Theo decided to have a race. Theo and Kit both have their Vespas, and Roni has her faithful steed; Opal. It's going to be an interesting race.

[neon_jellyfish]

I'm betting on Opal!

[Lejays17]

Theo thought he'd win this one easily, but the sisters have other plans...

Kit might look sweet, but she has a competitive streak a mile-wide (she learned it from hanging out with Lottie for months).

[werepuppy]

I'm putting my money on Roni and Opal here, I feel like they'll pull out the win in the end.

[dargosmydaddy]

Haha, that's awesome! Next week's picture should be at the finish line...

[davidd]

What a fun idea! And a cute pic!

As for the results, it may depend on the distance of the race. The pony will have better acceleration, I ex.pect, so will have an advantage in a short dash.

Of course, the cobblestones with the large gaps also offer an advantage to the pony, unless the moto riders are extremely skilled.

Kit is at a disadvantage because her pathway stones are set crosswise rather than lengthwise, so she will have a rough ride. However, here at the start line Kit looks to be concentrating carefully, mentally mapping out her best line of travel.

This could be a close contest.

[Elfy]

Theo looks like he’s a bit too school for cool here and that arrogance may very well be his undoing. Roni is still wearing her cloak, so may suffer from some wind drag.

[Alliecat]

Hahaha, that's a fun photo! I agree with dargosmydaddy; we need to see who won!
Hmmm, I think rubber tires would have better traction, davidd.... horses can slip on pavement.... (although Elfy should hire you to do the colour commentary... )

[Elfy]

I wound up taking 3 shots. For everyone who wanted to know how the race of horse V Vespa turned out, here's the result. It wouldn't really fit in one shot.



Woohoo! Horsepower for the win!



Kit had a little trouble keeping on the track and wound up in the bushes.



Theo unfortunately suffered mechanical differences and never actually got off the start line.
