Neon’s A Doll A Day… Again (2020)

[Loona]

OK, so I was about to say they look like they're stargazing, and then read what davidd has wrote, and I am totally OK to accept that as canon. Made me laugh out loud

Great picture! I love the lights, and how you made them look the same direction. I hope you'll be feeling better soon!

[neon_jellyfish]

Thank you very much, everyone!!!

"Pssst! Hold real still and she might not see us!"
"Or touch us!"
"Yeah! She prolly has snot all over her fingers!"
"You're a ghost. You're used to that, with all that ectoplasm and stuff!"
"That's totally different! Ectoplasm is not snot!"

Ahhh I really love this release - one of the ones that your photos always make me want my own of.

[Alliecat]

Nice shadowy lighting. Yeah, they probably don't want to have to be sanitized

Yeah, temptation... So I went to "last post" which did not show the photo. I read this, and thought, "I bet that's Cheshire Cat"... and scrolled up and, yep Cos that's what people tend to say about photos of her, isn't it!

I read this, and thought, "I bet that's Cheshire Cat"... and scrolled up and, yep  Cos that's what people tend to say about photos of her, isn't it!

That's what I'm thinking again on seeing this pic. I actually purchased Steampunk Cheshire Cat last year because of the influence of this forum, and of neon's photos in particular. But I couldn't get anywhere near the same effect in photos. Yes, she was cute, but... she went to a more appreciative home. Now I enjoy her appearances vicariously, and I'm always delighted when she shows up in neon's photos.

Oh, hey, neon-j: I was very encouraged when you mentioned in a previous post that you tend to be susceptible to colds, but that it seems to help you ward off more serious infections. No, I'm not meaning I'm happy you contracted a vampire hummingbird infection cold; rather, I saw a news article reporting a study that estimates that up to 50% of the population may have a natural immunity to the coronavirus, and it seems to be related to catching colds. They are theorizing that people who have more frequent colds may have built up antibodies that resist the coronavirus. I found it interesting, after seeing that article, that you mentioned that you rarely catch the flu or other more serious illnesses, but you are prone to colds. That is exactly what the article described.

I hope that seeing the Return of the Red-Headed League means you quickly overcame the annoying head-cold and that you are on the mend.

I love her mischievous eression.

[Lejays17]

She’s always looking like she’s plotting mischief & mayhem - a typically normal cat in other words.

Dooo iiiiittt! Yooouuuu knoooow yoooouuu waaaant iiiiitt! No, but seriously, she's amazing.

I mean, she's steampunk, she's Wonderland-themed, she's a cat, and she's a redhead. Of course her temptation level is off the charts!

I'm kinda sad that we won't get to see Cheshire Cat's shenanigans in The Dungeon, but keeping dolls one didn't bond with isn't healthy for them, or the keeper.

Oh, that's interesting! This is a family thing. Both of my parents are the same - prone to colds, but not viroses (Europe doesn't have a lot of fun things other parts of the world do, so I don't know about those).

Yeah, I'm much better now! Still a bit of a runny nose, but the main source of exhaustion is the heat.

I love her mischievous eression.

Me too! And it fits her character in Oddwickshire, too.

She’s always looking like she’s plotting mischief & mayhem - a typically normal cat in other words.

She is important part of my dolly world's finest organised mischief & mayhem group, after all



Day 223



Of course I had to tintype it.

The tin typing helps that long flow of red hair look almost bronze!

[davidd]

The Victorian style costume on this figure is spectacularly superb!

[Loona]

She's wonderful! That dress and that hair, oh my, THAT HAIR  I really like the tintype edit, it adds a lot of character to the photo.

[Lejays17]

I love her whole look, the tiered ruffles look so elegant. Especially in the tin-type / filtered pic.

[neon_jellyfish]

Thank you very much, guys!!!


Day 224

ADAW #31

I've been up most of the night because of migraine and heat, so I spent some time just looking out of the window, and I finally spotted them (davidd's hummingbirds / hummingbats, that is)! They even came close, fluttered around my head for a bit, but then they left. I was willing to sacrifice some of my brain juice to capture one of them, but these creatures are awfully fast, and they showed no interest in my brain. I'm starting to wonder whether I still have one...





These were a bit different from the ones Nellie saw in Utah, they had red-orange-pink iridescent feathers on their heads and necks.

[werepuppy]

Ahhh, so there's variation in different countries! How interesting!

[Loona]

OK, I'm totally jealous now, these creatures look wonderful! We now sleep with the window open due to the heat, but all we get are flies, mosquitoes, and the occasional ground beetle. Oh, and the bats - but they stay outside (and sadly they are clearly not enough in numbers, oterwise we wouldn't have the previously listed 3 in the room).
I guess we also lack brains - probably Ghoulia and the Once Upon a Zombie dolls have already done the job during the nights?
