PrettyTiny Film Company -- Alliecat's crew (Oct. 10)

[Alliecat]

According to the first paragraph of Google's now-ubiquitous "AI overview", sometimes it's capitalized and sometimes it's not depending on whether it's a "scientific" discussion.  I'm not any more interested than that, in what AI has to say, so -- whatever!

Pic-a-week is never just one...  Well, almost never.  So a few more of Dawn with her cute new tights.

Dawn looks so happy and cheerful and optimistic with her little smile! She's adorable!

Also adorable: that perfectly scaled miniature Adirondack chair!

I believe Adirondack is always capitalized because it is a geographical name.

That AI response, like most "AI summaries," about "monarch / Monarch" is pretty much useless.

I could launch in to a lengthy, and no doubt profanity-laced, rant about "AI summaries" appearing almost everywhere now, but Dawn has put me in a good mood and I don't wanna spoil it. In short - I keep hearing about companies spending hundreds of billions (with a B) of dollars investing in "AI technology," and what are they doing with it? Social control. They're telling us what to think. Most of us won't bother searching for real opinions anymore or real facts anymore. We will just look at the AI summary, shrug, and call it good.

Probably.  In French, if I recall, it might be capitalized if it's a noun and not if it's an adjective.  Random irrelevant factoid...!

Media & government have been doing that since before AI....  Nobody on FB searches for facts anymore.... do they?

The PrettyTiny Film Company & Modelling Studio has a special announcement.... Our crew has grown!
Please welcome our new addition, Flora Audrey!
She was a bit of a rescue from Dollyteria.  I spotted her while I was on PEI and spent too much time looking at the site & trying to figure out how much postage would be rather than looking up real estate like I was supposed to... only to find that she was "in-store only" and not available for international order.  What??  Argh!!! 
I looked at the site now & then.  She was still there.  How did nobody grab her?  In August, a 2nd listing for her appeared, this one available.  What??? 
I thought about it for a couple more weeks.  She was kinda pricey and a bit of a gamble as a custom; no telling how good condition she was really in.  And it's been a spendy year.  But, she was stilllll waiting for a home, so finally I pulled the trigger, and here she is!!





She's my first full-size custom, and only the 2nd custom at all, mini Crystal being the first.



She arrived in time to meet some butterflies.









Her outfit is gorgeous and so beautifully made.



The pieces are neatly labelled "Audrey".  I had already decided I'd call her Flora based on her photos, & was surprised she might already have a name.  So now she has two!



I would love to find out who made her and what her story is.  I've googled "Audrey Teatime Pullip" but got nothing so far.






Unfortunately she's on an awful T2 body, with a bit of waist melt, and her hands will NOT stay on.  Who the bleepin heck thought this was a good design?  Srsly, WTF??  So, eventually she will need a new one.



But, she really is sweet!  The camera loves her.  I kept 38 pix from this shoot, which was most of them.  Posting only 11 was an exercise in enormous self-restraint!! 

Thanks for looking

She's gorgeous! I don't blame you for giving in to temptation.

She has animal/teddy bear eyes. There was a time when they were very popular. Does that mean she can't close her eyes?

[davidd]

That's a spectacular costume, and the face is gorgeous with those enormous blue eyes and all that curly blonde hair!

Congratulations on the new arrival.

Flora Audrey looks like she would be right at home at some of those historic lighthouses you visit. She has a historical-yet-confident look about her.

[Alliecat]

Thanks
I posted her on FB Dolly Kingdom but it's not very active these days either, and no one commented with any idea who might've made her.  Too bad; I sometimes wonder how customizers feel if they see a doll some customer absolutely loooved and was thrilled to get, then being re-sold.  I'd love to compliment their work and let them know she found a good home! 

She has animal/teddy bear eyes. ... Does that mean she can't close her eyes?

OHHH.  Is THAT why she doesn't have eye levers.  Not being familiar with re-eyeballing and the mechanisms thereof, I wondered about that; thought maybe the creator just didn't bother.
Why can't they close their eyes with those?  Are the eyes too big or something?

-------------------------------------------------

Been wanting to shoot Kit with a skateboard for a while...  I love the MTM body.  Didn't get all the pix I wanted because the sun was gone.  These are such cute little skateboards; I should do more with them.























Wheee!



She's an acrobat.






And she works out.





Thanks for looking!

[davidd]

Wow! Look at all the stuff that Kit can do! She's an action figure, for sure!

I love that hairstyle!

Cool shoes, too!

Looks like a fun time outside with Kit!

[TrueFan]

I always love your action photos!

Yes, teddy bear eyes stick out too much. The eyelids can't close over them. They used to be super popular all the same. They work fine in Dal since she can't close her eyes.

A lot of the old time collectors (and customizers) don't seem to be active anywhere. She actually reminds me of a certain customizer's style, but I can't remember her real or online name. If it comes to me I'll let you know.
