Introducing Mini Sugar Plum! (pic heavy)

[Alliecat]

Like many others, I've been squee-ing over Connie Bees' "Yummy Sweets" creations... and thought I was quite safe as I could not afford them. Buuut... she did a mini, and I couldn't resist, horrific exchange rate and all. I think I probably knew when I first saw her that I was going to end up, after a few days, adopting her. She arrived yesterday.
I thought I would add "Crystal" to her name, because she's a little gem!
And while that works, once she arrived, her summery tropical-looking dress and her colouring made me think of Hawaii.
...yes, I have a thing for Hawaii. Especially in the winter! Soo, it was back to the Hawaiian name ideas. Having already used "Kailani", I was a bit stuck. I thought about "Crystal Kalikimaka" since she arrived at Christmas, but that's a bit of a mouthful. Finally, in keeping with the nautical theme around here, we ended up with "Moana", for the ocean. ("moe-anna". And nuts, I didn't know till a minute ago there was a movie coming out with a character called that. Oh well.)
So, may I introduce, Crystal Moana Sugar Plum!


Cuteness!!!



They met about 3 a.m., because I couldn't wait to do photos! It's fuzzy, but I liked the setup.
...and Crystal's very sweet so they liked each other right away



As the head of PrettyTiny Film Company & Modelling Studio, Sunsette takes seriously her responsibility of making the new girls welcome and settled-in. (And, she recognizes blinding-talent model-potential )



You know Sunsette's telling stories...
Bedtime. Lights out, girls!

I took them to work at the library because we have two lighted trees. We did an after-hours shoot. I'm glad the janitor didn't come in!


She's a little shy.



...and a little unsure about all the attention.



A little help from the pro.



Sunsette will have her supermodelling in no time.



She's levitating.



Then we had a go at the second tree.



One uneected thing is how nicely she photographs in contrasty light. Unlike the light-coloured girls, she doesn't bleach out. Cool.
(...I'm thinking 'Crystal Kalikimaka' might become her stage name...)



They found a stocking to hang out in.
I think I have 2 superstars here

(Bonus pic: Tonight she met her new sisters.)



Thanks for looking!
