davidd’s A DOLL A DAY 2021

[dargosmydaddy]

I love her whole ensemble!

[davidd]

Does her hand squish through it?

The hands are hard plastic and are detachable. The seam between the wrist and the hand is quite unsightly, hence the bracelets.

Does Wonder Woman know about the bracelet thing?

I suspect it's one of those not-so-secret secrets that Wonder Woman gets a lot of her equipment at home improvement superstores.

Don't they stain?

Good question. I hadn't thought about that. Brass is prone to tarnishing. So yeah, probably. But it seems like everything stains every doll these days, doesn't it?

I love her whole ensemble!

Artsy hippie boho chic!

21 January – Monster High Freak du Chic Rochelle Goyle

surveys the clutter, while "Army Kenna" keeps watch from atop the pile.

[Alliecat]

She looks a wee bit overwhelmed there...

[Elfy]

She’s probably scared of Kenna.

[neon_jellyfish]

It has a nice postapocalyptic feel to it. Like they're rummaging through an ancient pre-nuclear war srapyard to collect materials for building some Mad Max-style circus wagons...

[Lejays17]

Jenna is watching / lookout for the post-apocalyptic scrapyard they’re in (as neon mentioned).

It looks like pur kitchen table with the stuff piled up everywhere!

[davidd]

She looks a wee bit overwhelmed there...

Interesting how our doll photos often reflect our emotional state at the time we take them, isn't it?

She’s probably scared of Kenna.

Rochelle always looks like she's afraid of something or someone. Kenna does manage to look surprisingly intimidating in her military garb. She'll probably change out of it once a long-delayed photo-story segment gets finished... or started.

Okay, Mad Max-style circus wagon, how cool is that concept!   I've been saving that styrofoam cooler to serve as the basis for a steampunk airship gondola, but post-apocalyptic circus wagon! I'm definitely adding that to my list of projects! Gypsy wagon has been percolating on the back burner forever, but... wow! What a great idea!

This is the kitchen table in the vacation rental unit. I was intending to use two months of "down time" to sort, organize, and thin things out while finishing some long-delayed projects and having some fun, so I moved a huge quantity of stuff out of the storage shed to here, where it would, in theory, be more accessible. But the "season" resumes here in mid-February, which is only a couple of weeks away, so I need to start moving things back already. Net result: the disorganized mess will end up even messier and more disorganized.

22 January – Spiderman! Spiderman!

Circa mid-1970s Mego Spiderman figure. Looks like the poor guy is down on his luck, or just took a good thrashing from Doc Ock!

[Alliecat]

Well, he definitely needs a new pair of socks!

It looks like pur kitchen table with the stuff piled up everywhere!

Oh dear.  You too?  I keep putting "clear off table" on the do-list, and 3 days later it's buried again.  Auwe!!

Interesting how our doll photos often reflect our emotional state at the time we take them, isn't it?

Heh.  Yeah, or as I often do, they're a conscious choice to ex-press thoughts.  Guess that's why dolly photography is such good therapy.

[Elfy]

He’s Avery classic looking Spider-Man.

[neon_jellyfish]

To me it looks like he's looking for the culprit of the sock-icide and planning revenge.

Add me to the group too! All tables in this apartment are victims of the eventual pile of stuff. I really wish I was able to somehow limit this phenomenon, I've been fighting it all my life, but the clutter always wins  

Aaaaaaand now Spidey's peeking toes are all I can look at. I keep scrolling back, as I find them amusing for some reason.
(yeah, L, that really doesn't sound weird at all )

[davidd]

He’s a very classic looking Spider-Man.

Is that a diplomatic way of saying he looks old and beat up? Because... yeah!

Blast those dastardly super-villains!

Entropy always wins in the end.

Yeah, once you notice the toes they become the focus of attention.

23 January – Bratz Sportz Groovin' Golf Cloë looks for her lost golf ball.

[neon_jellyfish]

She looks like she's looking up... As if the ball never fell down. For how long has it been going up? Has it reached exosphere yet? Will it knock down some satelites? That could be fun!

[Elfy]

Gonna be tough to find a white ball amongst the white snow.

[davidd]

She looks like she's looking up... As if the ball never fell down. For how long has it been going up? Has it reached exosphere yet? Will it knock down some satelites? That could be fun!

You are correct, of course. She appears to be looking upward rather than down, so my caption doesn't make much sense. I should have said something like, "Cloë enjoys a spectacularly beautiful day in the snow!" But I rarely think to write positive or optimistic captions.

If your telephone service is interrupted today, you can be fairly certain that, yes, Cloë's golf ball damaged the Telstar satellite.
