1 January 2020:

"Erm... Triv?"

"Yes?"

"Is that... blood on your poster?"

[Elfy]

As long as Triv doesn’t try to incorporate her other interest with this one it’ll be ok. This was very meta, but I liked it.

[neon_jellyfish]

...What blood.

[werepuppy]

Aw, that is actually adorable. I love that they're supportive of each other. And as long as fire is kept away, I see no problems. Yet

Also... what blood?

[davidd]

Blood? Blood? Why does everyone keep asking about blood? Will "blood" be the "stripey socks" of 2020?

2 January – On the Road to Adventure

[neon_jellyfish]

Squeeee! That vehicle (pardon my total lack of knowledge) is adorable! Even more adorable is the road in the snow you (I assume) made for them! I apologize for repeating myself, but SQUEEEEE!!!

[davidd]

That vehicle (pardon my total lack of knowledge) is adorable! 

The vehicle is a Vespa motor scooter model in 1:6 scale. They are available on eBay. Models are available with and without the sidecar.

[dargosmydaddy]

"Social validation for your eccentricity!" made me LOL.

The Vespa and its riders look awesome!

[Lejays17]

The first days story made me laugh. It also reminds me of Elfy & I doing photo shoots (“include that doll, or that prop”. “Maybe angle them this way instead of that way”. And the classic - “i can see your feet in the background, you have to move” )

Sidecar adventures! We have 2 similar Vespa, but neither of our have sidecars.

[davidd]

Oh! That reminds me of a photo I wanted to do, based on one of your earlier pics!

But now I have to wait until the snow melts. Could be a while.

[Elfy]

Interesting that action guy is the one in the sidecar.

[davidd]

Interesting that action guy is the one in the sidecar.

He's still hitch-hiking.

[Alliecat]

That's a fun shot!  (There's no blood on the Vespa... I assume all is well...)
Day 1 is a really cute sequence.  Dolls photographing dolls -- fun!  "Social validation for your eccentricities" made me howl.  I'm still chuckling.  This afternoon Co-worker & I were leaving the library & I commented that I never thought about turning out the lights to get a low-light photo of the dolls with the Really Pretty Tree, & she wants to take it down tomorrow.... Maintenance Guy was in the doorway; he's a bit weird, & often prickly, & said something in a condescending tone about "turn the lights back on, then turn them off again, and use your phone"... Co-worker mumbled something about "her professional camera", & I said, brightly, "I don't have my models with me".  He thought I just wanted a pic of the tree.  I went to get my coat & it was quiet out there & I could just imagine Co-worker mouthing silently to Maintenance Guy "she photographs DOLLS" ... and him going "?????"  
So anyway, huzzah to my eccentric dolly friends who Get It!  

[werepuppy]

The Vespa looks so great in the picture, and Kenna looks to be ready and raring to zip off on many adventures - I have to assume her companion is there to try to keep some sort of control on proceedings? LOL.

There's no blood on the Vespa... yet.

Ol' Joe is hanging on for dear life. Yes, these Vespa models look pretty good for not being multi-hundred dollar 'collector' pieces.

3 January – Nellie (Smart Doll Kanata)

I need to find some full-length stockings. The flirty mid-calf height stockings detract somewhat from the professional appearance for which she is striving.
