GAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Newman was chewing on one of my prized dolls! NOOOOOOOOOO! I let the cats contribute to the destruction of my apartment, but don't fuck with my dolls. I don't ask much.
Anyway, it occurred to me that the phone books were delivered the other day and I'd put mine in front of the vacant apartment next door. You remember, white paper and black ink? Duh. So I dashed over and retrieved them.
And the glasses haven't arrived yet. No prob.
Going back to the subject of dolls, wow, I got my first Fashion Royalty (FR) this week. Holy shit, Jason Wu puts all other dollmakers to shame. Shame, I say! I've never seen such quality and fastidious attention to detail before. Even the stand telescopes so the doll actually *stands* on it rather than toppling over. The metal-framed sunglasses have legs that *fold*. I'm smitten. She's the Exotic Fire Veronique. Awesome facial sculpt and nice ash-brown hair. But, sorry, really didn't care for the facial screening. Highly stylized and heavy on the orange. So, I'm repainting her. Others have repainted FR's, and quite beautifully I might add, but I don't think I'll be able to put in the detail they have. I don't know how they did it, the FR's are so small. Anyway, she's for my collection and not for sale. Depending upon how she turns out, I might get some more, because they fetch quite a lot on eBay. I want to get a jump on painting and selling so I don't wind up in the same boat as last month.
I like repainting a lot more when I work on two dolls at a time: one for sale and one for me. In the past I guess I felt frustrated or resentful because I always had to part with my work. Well, no more. As soon as I get around to it, I would like to give my mandolls a makeover; they look so gay. Butch up, guys! Grow some stones.
I'm baking another batch of brownies, this time with 2/3 cup sugar instead of a full cup. Yeah, I have a blanced diet alright. Plenty of fat and sugar, just like the USDA recommends.
Later, same day...
Bah, I overbaked the brownies. Ruined! They're not supposed to be crunchy, are they? Damn.
10:23 p.m.
Nothing's coming together in regards to my painting today, especially the FR. She's so damn tiny. I guess I'll have to settle for a more primitive, cartoony facial paint for now. In the future I can always remove her paint and start again if the idea grabs me.
Painting dolls makes me so tired.
