Happy H'ALOHAween from PTFCo! (belated encore)

Wonderfully fun photos, and the candle-lit glow radiates a joyful warmth on par with tropical sunshine!

Love that out-take, because... reality!

Thank you everybody! I really enjoy the in-the-dark light-painting stuff. I have another idea to do sometime... they are a lot of work. Sometimes it would be helpful to have an assistant.

Belated Happy Halloween! I guess she got into the punch during the focus check pic! :

Heheh. Given some of the photos they've been in in the past, I suspect that my crew can drink as much as they want with no effect, but they get a little buzzed on chocolate
(when you're plastic your biochemistry is different, I guess )

I'm sad to hear that the reality of pineapple top-rooting seems to be much less effective than what the videos seem to suggest I really need to try it the next time I get a pineapple....Do I spot it right that Andreya is wearing some sorts of high-heels? How did you make up your mind about removing her boots?

Yeah, try the pineapple thing anyway. Obviously it works for some people; you might have better luck. I think part of the problem is that things are picked well before they're ripe and are in transit a lonnnggg time before they reach our grocery store, so they're all either still not ripe or getting dried out. I always look at the pineapple tops with a view to trying to root them, and some I just won't even buy because they're all dried out in the center. This one in the pix was the only good one on the shelf, of about 8 or 10.

Andi had stained legs, like really badly, and there was mold in her box (NRFB!), long story, but while evaluating the damage I wanted to clean her clothes as well. I just used a hair dryer, for a long time, and very very carefully wiggled & heated & wiggled & heated the boots till they came off -- and yes, scared about breaking her ankle the whole time. If I had to do it again I'd cut them down the back. I've done that with 1 or 2 since and it doesn't really show. So now she's wearing Mimiwoo shoes, as are the other girls.

The LaVoile sisters are the perfect size for this, admittedly they could crawl right into the pumpkin if they wanted to, so are the best choice to gut it.
