So at this point in the challenge, I'm just going to post the day's picture whenever I have the time. -____-
So today's theme is Gothic, but I don't have any gothic themed dolls so here's a weird little story I came up with one day while playing with my little sister's dolls.
In some third world country, lives a beautiful young Asiatic slave girl in a traveling circus. She was taken in from the streets to be the puppeteer's assistant, and she spends most of her time in the backroom where all of the puppets are kept. One day one of the puppets starts speaking to her, and tells her his sad fate of being a puppet made of scraps no longer fit to perform on the stage. He tells her that if she can get him to perform just once on the stage, his lifelike movement and voice will enchant the audience, making her puppet act famous so she can rise from her status as a slave. Desperate for a chance at a better life, she suggests the performance, and once her request is granted, the puppet's act is a roaring success. Every day afterwards becomes a struggle for her to raise enough money to run away and make a life for herself elsewhere.
The story was pretty dark with the question of the puppet being truly alive never fully answered. He's alive in the girl's presence and on the stage, but the rest of the time he's just an inanimate puppet, raising the question if he's really alive or just a part of the girl's twisted imagination.
This is what happens when I actually "play" with dolls. >__<

Macho Cabrío de Sabbat - Baphomet y Mendés
"El macho cabrío lleva sobre la frente el signo del pentagrama, con la punta para arriba, lo que basta para considerarla como símbolo de luz; hace con ambas manos el signo del ocultismo y muestra en alto la lunablanca de Chesed y en bajo la luna negra de Geburah. Este signo representa el perfecto auerdo de la misericordia con la justicia. Uno de sus brazos es femenino y el otro masculino, como en el andrógino de Khunrath, atributos que hemos debido reunir con los de nuestro macho cabrío, puesto que es un solo y mismo símbolo. La antorcha de la inteligencia, que resplandece entre sus cuernos, es la luz mágica del equilibrio universal; es también la figura del alma por encima de la materia, aunque teniendo la cabeza misma, como la antorcha tiene la llama. La repugnante cabeza el animal representa el horror al pecado, cuyo agente natural, único responsable, es el que debe llevar por siempre la pena; porque el alma es impasible en su naturaleza, y no llega a sufrir más que cuando se materializa. El caduceo que tiene en vez de órgano generador representa la vida eterna; el vientre, cubierto de escamas, es el agua; el círculo, que está encima, es la atmósfera, las plumas, que vienen de seguida, son el emblema de lo volátil; luego la humanidad está representada por los dos senos y los brazos andróginos de esa esfinge de las ciencias ocultas". [Tomado de Dogma y Ritual de la Alta Magia por Eliphas Levi]
1954 Jaguar XK120 OTS
Chassis No: 675496
Engine No: F2996-8
Body No: F7775
The XK120 was launched in roadster form at the 1948 London Motor Show as a test bed and show car for the new Jaguar XK engine. It caused a sensation, which persuaded William Lyons to put it into production.
The "120" in its name referred to its 120 mph top speed, which made the XK120 the world's fastest standard production car at the time of its launch. It was available in two convertible versions: the roadster (OTS, for open two-seater), and the drop head coupé (DHC), as well as a closed, or "fixed-head" coupé (FHC).
With alloy cylinder head and twin side draft SU carburetors, the dual overhead-cam 3.4 L straight-6 the XK engine was a comparatively advanced unit for the time. With standard 8:1 compression ratio it produces 160 bhp. This same basic design of the XK engine was later modified into 3.8L and 4.2L versions, and survived into the late 1980s.
All XK120s have independent torsion bar front suspension, semi-elliptic leaf springs at the rear, recirculating-ball steering, and a telescopically adjustable steering column.
The roadster's lightweight canvas top and detachable side screens stow out of sight behind the seats, and its barchetta-style doors have no external handles; instead there is an interior pull-cord which is accessible through a flap in the side screens when the weather equipment is in place.
This XK120 OTS presents very well as a beautiful driver! Recent restoration includes: fresh, Old English White (Cream) paint, red leather interior, floor panels, new canvas top and side screens, as well as a complete mechanical overhaul. The body gaps are unusually very even and straight. The chrome work is brand new and the fender skirts ad a graceful look.
