Thank you everybody! I'll have to post the photoshoot in 2 parts perhaps; sounds like we're getting the edge of a hurricane this week so maybe no outdoor pix for a few days.

Aw, thank you It's basically just about "do real people pose that way" and trying to adjust them so the pose looks like a real person, with weight and flexibility. I re-shot a couple in the last photo session because someone's hand was a few mm off what it was supposed to be resting on... I do a lot of zooming to check details; tiny camera screens aren't helpful.

Too funny!
I want this to be a real magazine!

That is brilliant! I can imagine getting a subscription to that, it is so realistic.

Such a fun cover!
I particularly liked the headline about trialing voyages in the bath.

Thanks, all It still makes me smile. I should make up some more, but, I'd have to think up a bunch more clever headlines...

"Yay! It floats!"
From the girls' movie "Boat!" made the same year.
Amazing to think there were only the 3 of them then!!
OK, catching up with contest pix and stuff...
Samantha finished off her September challenges at the Dal House with a little friend on the beach.
"Fake fur is always in fashion."
Contest pix from Omocha Crush's weekend event -- probably just a facebook popularity contest but whatever -- with Miss D... Categories included "you and your doll in matching cosplay" and "your doll in original cosplay".
I must say, the blonde has really grown on me. Not saying if I found the perfect red wine wig that I wouldn't swap back, but...?
Our major sunrise ex!pedition shot:
And the supplementary one.
I think Captain Robin would be very amused if he knew how much use I'd got, and how, out of this Atlantic-crossing chart he gave me

Wow! What an enormous surprise! A guest appearance from Cap'n Alliecat! YAY!
That is an epic pirate outfit... both Dæsani's and yours! And they match so closely!
Cold for nine months of the year or not, you live in a beautiful place! Where you get to be a pirate!
They're not dolls, they're action figures!

Thanks, guys!
Daesani's jacket is the same fabric. I was looking for something for a possible commission for PUDDLE '18, and was amazed to find the same material on eBay. The commission didn't work out, and I stubbornly decided that, never having made a doll jacket before, I would make it myself
Here are some random pix from the last week or 2.
More Dal House stuff; with themes like "fall colours" and "a walk outside", Darla got to have an outing.
Our "fall colours" are mostly yellow & brown. At least in my yard. Meh.
"Where the heck is my compass??"
Lil ex-plorer looks a bit lost on the big lawn.
Samantha won a couple of outfits that Mariya Luiza brought along with her.
This looks so cute on her!
It was just soooo gloomy. We should've done this on a brighter day.
This one has some pins in the back to smallify it enough to fit her... gonna need a little work. Yay, sewing
Finally, for the "self care" theme...
Sometimes you really just need to stay in bed all day with treats and a good book.
Thanks for looking

You've been crafting some marvelous photos lately! I absolutely adore the little ex-plorer scout outfit! I shall let you know the next time the Dominion Geographic Society plans an e edition in Canada and perhaps Darla can join us.
For that matter, perhaps Cap'n Alliecat can join us!
Blanket, book, and your own weight in candy sounds like an excellent way to hide from the world right now.

The ex-ploring Darla is so cute, I love her outfit.
Samantha’s got the right idea with chocolate & a good book in these trying times.
And love all the pirate shots with & without the human!

Samantha is such a sweetie; I love her outfits! She is just darling.
Settling into bed with all of those snacks! She looks so relaxed, and I can totally relate to that image, but alas...I need to eat healthier!
