One of a series of ads for PCM, the largest newspaper publisher in the Netherlands.
This lion comprises 10 pieces of paper: face, front of body, hind legs, tail, and 6 mane pieces.
Braid removed ! Hurray !
Me and PCM have a long love affair. She was the first girl that drew me into Blythe. I love her crazy red hair and funky style.
I've had 1 other PCM (I ended up using her hairs on Jubilee and Sugaroni turned her into Sundae) and she was very special.
I have plans for this girl to be turned into a "tea-pot" theme or "matryoshka" when I have more funds for the customization.
For now, she is just hanging around and being called "Cherry Lalaloopsy" by my daughter.
Nice to have a dolly to play with ! You wouldn't know that I actually have 5 girls now because they are all being customized lol :)
Another perspective on Life and the Ride:
About 600 orphans live down this road in Mbarra in Southwest Uganda, in a nice place with great oversight and care. This is their neighborhood, and the local ride looks like this. You can certainly tell there's not a lot of money in the area. To have a bike is a big deal, to get stuff to market -- wood, bananas and water. The ride is literally their life, and they are very glad to have it.
People in Southwest Uganda don't beg, they almost always are dressed neatly just going about their day, and are warm and welcoming. They speak English.
The kids sang us a song, "Uganda, the Pearl of Africa" and they sounded very convincing. Until I went there and rode these roads, I only had a dark conception of Uganda, Idi Amin and all that. This trip altered perceptions considerably.
BTW, there are a lot of Chinese contractors out there, building roads.
