Hipster Sunday

Hipster Sunday

Well, my personal style is pretty eclectic, depending on my mood and the weather, so today I felt like running around town in Hipster style, and when I got home I figured one of my girls could rock it too.  Today that girl is Rayna.  In keeping with the black and white theme I’m really feeling right now, I dressed her in DG top & jeans, Barbie hat & shoes, ClearLan scarf, Momoko glasses and FR jewelry. ...

Rayna models DagamoArt

Rayna models DagamoArt

It’s a day of fashions here in the house!  I also received my DagamoArt commissioned outfit.  It included a dress, 2 pairs of leggings plus a bracelet.  LOVE it!  Thank you again Daga for doing this – my girls appreciate it immensely (and I do too, LOL).   So here is the always fabulous & trendy Rayna modeling. (and please excuse the eyelash fiasco, I spent 20 min looking for my tiny brush to no avail)  Hmm… I have to say that I really, really, really hope to see her in the Spring collection… Dress/Leggings/Silver bracelet on her R hand: DagamoArt   Silver necklace: Trico Silver bracelets on her L hand/Earrings: FR & misc Shoes:...

What Can I Say? I’m On A Roll!

What Can I Say? I’m On A Roll!

I know, I know…. this is alot of redressing for one day, LOL.  I told you I’m making up for next week in advance! First up – I swapped Ayumi’s dress onto the IFDC Rayna/Dorothy doll.  I have to admit that I am copying someone else who did this.  I saw their fab pics and saw how great that dress looked with Rayna’s coloring and therefore I had to do it myself.  This Rayna always impresses me at the ease to which she photographs. What I mean is that I literally took these 3 shots and that’s all I needed.  It’s always like that when I photograph her for some reason. Then of course I had to redress Ayumi rather than leave her on the floor nude.  Well, I should be honest...

HT Rayna Redressed

HT Rayna Redressed

So I got a new laptop yesterday and this is the first time I had to use the preinstalled picture gallery program.  I think I liked my old one, LOL, where I could just quickly adjust white balance or saturation, crop it and then move on to the next pic.  Today’s shots took about 30 minutes to adjust as I tried to figure out the program. Ugh. I couldn’t find the zoom in tool either – it was a little irritating to say the least.  Well I think I got the pics looking nice and I hope they aren’t too dark.  I can already tell my screen settings are different just when I look at my old pics on flickr.  Why does every computer have to be so different? Maybe because my new one is running Windows 7...

High Toned

High Toned

Ahh… I think the Rayna mold is a new “love” for me… up there with Giselle & Eugenia.  Maybe it’s the Poppy-ish lips? who knows, either way she’s gorgeous.  I loved the pale one from IFDC and was probably looking forward to seeing her the most at convention.  Now after her hair has been restyled by Deron I’m in love with her even more.   Tonight I redressed her in a bunch of gifts I received at convention! yay! Her skirt is Imogen’s, sweater was a gift from Deron, jewelry was a gift from David aka Dave’s Divas (I also purchased 2 sets from him that I’ll showcase at another time) and the super bad-ass boots were a gift from my newest Polish friend Bogna...

Red-y for my closeup

Red-y for my closeup

Well, it’s a “red” day here in Shug’s doll room.  I got a Target gift card yesterday so today I went there planning to spend it in the doll aisles.  I get inside the door and look around and notice that they are in the middle of changing the entire store around.  Super frustrating trying to find where they moved the toys, sheets of plastic hanging from the ceiling everywhere.  Do you think they could just close the store for 24 hours and get it done in that time?  I can hear everyone else grumbling around me too, LOL, but it’s my birthday so I won’t be sucked into any negativity today! So I finally find a portion of the toy aisle and meander down past the Monster High dolls. I...

Rayna showing off Hermes

Rayna showing off Hermes

Just got my newest LaBoutique bag! I posted about the Hermes bag for July and then I totally forgot to order one, LOL. So by the time I went back to the site to order, one of the prints was sold out… boo hoo, BUT they were offering an alternate bag in bronze & cream alligator print.  Luckily for me I loved that one even more!   So here is Rayna showing off her Hermes.

I Think I Have a New Muse

I Think I Have a New Muse

I had originally planned to shoot my new Misaki (Good Morning) and to redress my SF Eugenia in the new PetraElise fashion I purchased, but Go Home just calls out to me.  So everything was pushed aside while I played with her again today. Yeah, I haven’t been this enamored with a doll since I got into Giselle (after a year of being in love with Eugenia).  I’m happy she’s a different look than Giselle too because I love the NF characters but the only other ones I collect are the twins.  So  I’m pleased to be adding this fab girl to my collection.  I took her hair out of the little pulled back ponytail and just brushed it out a bit.  Today she’s wearing a Louos top, Trico vest, NS...

Are you ready for her?

Are you ready for her?

I don’t know if you’re ready for her!  So I knew I wanted the Dorothy/Rayna doll as soon as I saw her! I loooove that face and was excited that I didn’t have to wait until convention to see her.  I don’t know if most of you know or not, but I was only able to go to IFDC as a sub for someone, so the dolls all went to my sponsor.  (A big thank you to S. for allowing me to attend!!) So someone was going around during dinner with an extra ticket for the Good Witch/Isha, so I asked to take it.  I figured I’d just buy her and hopefully be able to swap with someone.  Luckily a friend had already prepaid for the convention doll but wanted the Isha one instead, so the swap was made! (YAAAAY!...
