A new crew member comes aboard (New pix Nov. 29)

[Alliecat]

The PrettyTiny Film Company & Modelling Studio has a new crew member, and the gang is definitely going very nautical. Mini Marilyn arrived today! I was in need of a boost. She had been on my wish list for a while. She came up on eBay, and I asked the USA seller if she'd ship to Canada, and yay, she did, and even refunded a postage overcharge.

Her hair is soooooo soft! I want to keep touching it, but, ugh, ringlets... It looks nice in a perfect stock photo, but hers is messier than the eBay photo, and one ringlet was just a frizz. I'm not sure how to fix them?? For a quick fix I ran it under the tap, combed it a bit & then wound it around my finger, but it seems there must be a bit better way to civilize ringlets...?
Her skirt has teeny tiny little gems on it -- I didn't know that from stock photos. Cute. Also, she looks a tiny bit sad. I guess it's the eyebrows, and the lack of any upturn in her mouth. I have one shot so far where she seems to be smiling a bit. Guess it will depend on the angle of the light. Maybe, for one who has to do with the sea, a little melancholy is not uneected...



Crappy flash light on a gloomy day; I hate this time of year, but she's almost smiling here.






The other girls elained that it's perfectly normal to go straight from your box into a photoshoot...



The other sailors are delighted. Sunsette's pretty jazzed that the new girl appears to know something about boats. Wait till she sees Second Chance.



And of course, there's a mermaid in the crew...

Thanks for looking
