I'm excited to announce that the book that I spent 2012 writing is available for preorder. The official release date is in June. I am writing this post to share with Holy Scrap readers the inspiration for the book and a little back story not in the book. It starts like this. . .
Brand awareness crept into my awareness early. I was in grade school in the 1970s in Nassau County just a short stint from New York City when I first noticed it. Money earned in Manhattan and spent on Long Island affected consciousness in the form of designer clothing. I couldn't afford to wear designer clothes, my dad worked as an electrician for the NYC Housing Authority. But the kids I went to school with knew the brands that earned social value. A tomboy I delighted in torching forts that I made from scrap and burned in the woods behind my home. A ratty pair of jeans suited this lifestyle fine. Still I noticed the priorities of my culture and felt the pressure of growing up in a commodified society with an insatiable appetite for more.
In my twenties I wrestled with the commodified worlds illogicalities. Searching out a way to earn money I noticed that advancing my career meant overriding my common sense. Jobs made strange demands: wake before your rested, work when your mind is not clear, eat at a set time and not when you are hungry, lie for sake of the mission of the company, get the best of another, and mostly adapt.
The commodified world never taught me how the real world works. I learned how it works and how to work in it. But I knew that just outside the boundary of commerce that the skills I'd acquired to succeed in it were useless. At the proper point of fedupness I took the skills of my profession that I once used to develop the commodified world, and I turned them around. I used them to dismantle it. This is where things got really interesting and it is the start of my book.
The Good Life Lab: Radical Experiments in Hands-On Living is my story of how Mikey and I created another way to live and what we discovered along the way. It is a contemplative and practical guide book for a post-consumer life. Memoir and tutorials. I offer a view of the way that the commodified world shapes people so that we may each a way to wrestle free. The book is about invention, responsibility, creativity, economy, technology and value. It is about being an outlaw when that is the only sane thing to do. I show how we make a world: appliances, food, domestic goods, community, fuel and buildings. Perhaps the greatest of what I have to share has to do with what it is to be alive and connected to a living world. We can tune ourselves to life. If we do we have a source of wisdom. And then we can do anything.
I want to thank you for being with these years us as we blogged our way through seven years of taking chances, making mistakes, celebrating, and having a downright silly time.
The good folks at Storey Publishing filled the book with art, illustrations from 20 different illustrators and printed it with a open bind making it a work of art. If you have ants in your pants and want to get your order in now you can preorder through Amazon (ships in June). If you wish to wait until June the book will be available in all retail outlets on line and off and also through our own Holy Scrap store. And of course. . . pass it on. : )

Hello!!
Ume's preorder is almost finished, still 5 days (to July 14 included) to preorder her in one of those 3 colors : Pale skin, Light caramel tan or Milk chocolate tan. All informations on www.depthsdolls.com
From time to time I try to act smart and not preorder too much. Also, I try to watch for red flags: skintones sensitive to color mismatch (like Hungarian), hairstyles or sculpts prone to high foreheads, screenings wonky eyes, etc. Since this doll had several of these red flags, my decision was to wait and see how Vio turns out in person. However, dolly Gods usually trick me and I pull this safeguard on dolls that turn out great (and despite good judgment I preorder dolls that turn out bad), like this Vio, and I end up on secondary market paying higher prices. Highlights of this hobby... LOL
Makeup & Hairstyle: I have been fan of Van 2.0 since that sculpt debuted, but I never liked Monaco Royale screening. Eyes looked wonky and she had that stunned look that I do not like on dolls. I was hesitant a bit, but I studied the screening a bit and realized that the issue is with her left eye, and that eye screening is in fact OK, but the issue is with reflection dots. You can see on this collage, lower right corner photo, both reflection dots are slightly higher than dots on her right eye. This bothered me and I fixed it on my doll. Regarding the makeup, Jessy used lovely shades of seafoam green, dark blue, and shimmering sky blue, that go so well with her frosty peachy lips. She is a stunner. In person all colors are much more muted than on photos, I was a bit worried she would look garish, but in person she just looks so beautiful. I am not quite fantasy color dolls person, although I have a few, so I was worried if her hair color which is a mix of three colors might look too playline, but it is wonderful in person. On low light you do not even notice it, so I think it does not limit redressing possibilities. In line with the theme, she has hairstyle that looks like normal hair when you wet it, it looks like sea-weed! Just because of those reflection dots 9.5/10
Outfit & Accessories - "Method dressing" comes to my mind when I look at this doll. She might have been a regular NuFace doll (not NuFantasy), with Vio making a movie Sirene where you could have a look from her movie with a tail, and a look for red carpet promoting her movie. Anyway, my idea was to sell the tail and feather skirt right away. Guess what, both look beautiful in hand. I actually like that feather skirt quite a lot. No, I would never pair it with long boots, but you can change that with ease. Still, the star of the show here is her metal bra! Oh boy, such a wonderful piece! I keep staring at it, also her fin earrings are very well made and doesn't look like toyish at all (my first impression from the photos). All other items are truly wonderful, but I have to mention pearl sandals, simply gorgeous! 10/10
Production Quality & Issues - Yes, there is a slight difference in color of head and body, but it isn't very obvious. The reason I like this doll so much is quality. IT did a great job on this giftset, everything looks so much better in person than on photos. Have to mention box, as well, it is very well made and is probably my favorite box IT made and I have a few... 10/10
Overall, I would made a huge mistake not having this doll, she is everything I like in doll collecting. 10/10
