My Personal Doll Awards 2022
I haven't been using Flickr as much this year, so I figured I could turn a beloved tradition (Flickr Year) into something new but equally familiar-looking.
So...welcome to my personal Doll Awards 🏆
This little insignificant ceremony includes five categories:
Doll of the year
Favourite Picture
Favourite Photoshoot
Favourite Casual Shot
Favourite Photo-Edited Shot
Let's start:
Doll of the year: Verity (Day Tripper OOAK)
For me this 2022 was pretty poor in doll pictures, but I think one of my dolls stood out.
Verity was one of the very few dolls who had the 'honour' of being redressed more than twice, being brought outdoors and endlessly combed. Since 2017, when her new life as a rerooted Day Tripper Poppy started, her freckled face and red and luscious hair never failed to bring me comfort and a smile, even in tumoultous times.
Favourite Picture: George and Myrtle at the Jupiter's Bar.
George and Myrtle's relationship is quite the complicated one, but I won't discuss the whys and the hows here. After all, this is just a small place to showcase some pretty doll pics!
However, I was particularly happy to have been able to portray their troubled but intense connection in this little photoshoot set at the Jupiter's Bar, a quite important place in my Dollyverse, where Judith (Wild At Heart Lilith) works as a waitress and where many events took place for many of my dolls.
Will this romance fully take off in 2023?
I have no idea, but dolly-dreams don't cost a thing :)
Favourite Photoshoot: Elodie at my town's Harbour
Back in September, Elodie (Go Home Rayna) took an exciting trip by the sea with me, my younger cousin and her camera.
I am aware this Rayna is a very beloved doll in the community, as well as a very rare and precious one, so I solemny swear I have been nothing but careful and caring with her and she didn't risk her dolly life among the waves 😁
Favourite Casual Shot: Cozy Savannah
Savannah (Beach Babe Poppy) is the latest addiction to my Integrity family. Compared to the majority of my dolls, she has been an impulse buy. She still doesn't have a fully formed character/a story to tell, but I am sure she will reveal herself sometime soon as she is already becoming one of my most beloved photography subjects.
She feels just so effortless in any picture, especially the more casual and not planned shots like this one.
Favourite Photo-Edited Shot: Jewel the Anti-Hero
It's me, hi, I am a Taylor Swift lookalike, It's me!
This picture was fun to make. I tried to replicate a frame of Taylor Swift's Anti-Hero video and I think I did fine.
It's far from perfect, of course, but I had fun and that's the only thing that should count.
Jewel (Simply Simpatico Poppy) had been a Swiftie for longer than me, so she was particularly happy to engage in this photo replica.
And...that's a wrap!
I hope you had a fun dolly 2022 and I wish your 2023 will be even better!
Happy New Year to whoever stops by!
