Thirteen years ago Avril Lavigne released a self-titled album that ended on a somber note with the piano ballad “Hush Hush”. At the time I liked the musical aspect of the song, but was really put off by some of the more stereotypical lyrics that really just made me brush the whole thing off as shallow. The song faded from my general consciousness until this week, when my job laid off a bunch of people for no apparent reason. Some lines from it basically just popped into my head and ended up hitting me somewhat hard.
The callousness, capriciousness, and secrecy of corporate workings—especially the ones that treat people like they’re dispensable and ignore the human costs of treating everything like it’s “just business”—I guess I’m desperately trying to find an outlet for my frustration about this. And somehow this song, despite its shortcomings, speaks to that feeling for me.
There was also a nice sunset at one of the end of the days this week and I grabbed one of my newer custom dolls off the shelf to try and take advantage of the lighting in the backyard. (I can’t stress to you enough how much lack of planning went into this! There was a sunset and I tried something dumb! My actual camera didn’t have battery life; I could not find my spare battery; I had to grab my phone and this doll and RUN outside before the golden hour expired.)
This doll is based on Kathy Rain, the foul-mouthed, blue-haired, motorcycle-riding private investigator from the Kathy Rain video game series (she started out as Barbie Basics 2025 series 1, doll 2; she’s wearing a motorcycle jacket from StudioDollStory(www.etsy.com/shop/StudioDollStory), and wearing adorable ripped up jeans from MikillyFashion(www.etsy.com/shop/MikillyFashion)). I could see in my head some kind of cool shot of her riding her motorcycle in front of an out of focus cityscape, like the game itself kind of shows during interstitial scenes (who knows, at some point I might try to properly do this). But in lieu of doing that on such short notice, I took one of the most interesting shots from this impromptu session(that had a really crappy background of junk in my yard that no one wants to look at) and tried out some generative AI to give me a cityscape background. That didn’t really go well but I attempted to make it look like how I see it in my head and less like a super cheesy and lazy photo manipulation (hence, the mega blur! DOUBLE fake blur! Hide the cheapness!).
I’ve ended up with something that seems to do justice to … whatever I’m feeling right now, even if it’s not where I wish it was technically. Blue toned photo, blue toned song, blue toned me. Because I feel like people deserve better than this.
Smart casual dolly trio.

The best part of being a flickr member is meeting new friends who share the same passion as I do. So I want to thank you all for welcoming me in this fabulous doll community. Never a day goes by that I don't check flickr with at all the awe inspiring images that you all come up with. 56 dolls (including duplicates) in a year? That is kinda overwhelming...seriously.
