This is the photo I submitted to Pullip Fabulous for the 4th challenge.
PFab 4th challenge photoshoot.
A lot of the same here, but there were several photos from this shoot that I liked so I'm uploading them.
The theme was called "All That Glitters..." and was about jewelry. We were supposed to make a pic that could be for a jewelry ad. At first, my idea was to use my engagement ring and put it in a flower and have her looking at it, but that just didn't pan out.
Instead, just before I was about to take the pics, I was reminded of "Stardust". My fiance and I saw the movie in theaters a few months back and I had just finished reading the book a couple of weeks ago. In the book and movie, the character Yvaine was a star that had been knocked out of the sky by a jewel that the king of Stormhold had thrown. It was a test to see who would become his heir. So Yvaine has fallen to the land of Faerie and has to carry around the jewel until the rightful heir asks for it from her. In the movie, she wears the jewel around her neck as a necklace, but in the book she ties it around her waist so that's what I did here.
And the chain around her wrists is also from the book/movie. The main character, Tristan, finds Yvaine and uses a silver chain to bind her to him. He had promised the girl he was in love with that he would bring the star back to her, not knowing at the time that the star was a girl. And to enslave a star like that is a very bad thing to do, but he does let her go. They fall in love and live happily every after and all that. ;)
So my idea was for her to be like the star, Yvaine, in these pics.

Pictured left to right: Cud, Shireen, Trogar, Lord Asher Ellott, Celro, Swamp Rat and Calton
The Marsh Men are a diverse group, not only made up of knights, but of local mercenaries, disgraced Lords, Vieran and Gazuman warriors and peasants.
Lord Asher Ellott was the lord of Talon Spire until the days of the Second Son Rebellion. His whole life changed when his younger brother Miken returned home to overthrow him in the name of Haytham Blythe. Asher was never a great warrior, being more a student of battle tactics and psychology, so he surrendered the castle in exchange for the safety of his wife and son, but once Miken was inside the walls, he had them killed. Asher was removed from the city and released. Word spread of Asher's surrender and his failure to protect his family and he began to be called "the Craven Lord" because of his cowardice. When the rebellion ended, the King annexed most of his lands, but returned his castle to him. Without revenue from his lands, the castle began to fall to ruin and was sacked by Orcs at the start of the Seven Year Orc War. Without a home, Asher went to the Stormhold to serve as an advisor, but was banished from court for questioning the Princess in 727AV. He met Karston Flint during his time in the Stormhold and after the battle of Mole Hill, he received an invitation to join the resistance against Attenor. He serves as the company's recruiter, treasurer and as the tactical advisor to Sir Karston.
Trogar is a Gazuman Commander who was charged with the defence of the ancient stronghold of Pattengar (which is commonly known as the Marsh Fort) by King Zurgoth in the days of the Gazuman Empire. When the empire fell, most Gazumen returned to Ottogar, but Trogar and his men remained at their post to prevent any advances by the Vieran and Attonight alliance. Since those days, his soldiers have all died, either in battle or from sickness and he served alone as the Keeper of the Key. His knowledge of the labyrinth of tunnels through the marsh and his ability to open and close their entrances and flood them with the use of his key, is invaluable. When he originally saw the Marsh men ambushing the Attonights, they were camped out in tents, so he took a chance and welcomed them in. The use of the tower and tunnels increased the effectiveness of the Marsh Men a hundred-fold.
Celro is a Vieran warrior who was captured by Attonights in 730AV and as per Vieran custom, no attempt was made to rescue him. When the Marsh Men were attempting to break Richard Forrester out of the same prison in 730AV, they came across him and asked him to join them. He accepted their offer and entered into a life debt to Sir Karston. He serves as the company's scout to the Bloody March, as he knows the land best. He is incredibly swift and brutal in combat and he does not fear death, as he believes he already died in prison.
The other four are locals. Cud was a Barkeep in a village just north of the marsh. He joined when he saw how the Marsh Men distributed their spoils amongst the people. Shireen is the daughter of a Lord and hails from the island just west of the Marsh Fort. The Attonights killed her family when they converted her island to their own port, and she joined the Marsh Men. Swamp Rat was a local mercenary, mostly being paid to ward off bandits from a crows nest with his bow, but he saw an opportunity to make much more money robbing Attonights with the Marsh Men. He serves as the scout in the marsh, and the eyes in the sky leading up to an ambush. Calton was a bandit himself before he was captured by Karston and convinced to pursue more noble goals.
These members of the group mostly serve in auxillary roles, such as scouts, reserves and distributers of gold to the locals.

In the centre is Prince Dendrick Fielder, AKA Trollsbane, (Born 708AV) the only relative of Young King Davian III who has not renounced his claim to the throne. He claims it is practical, as Davian does not have an heir, but some confuse his quiet demeanour as the behaviour of someone who has something to hide. Ever since he was a boy, Dendrick was larger than his peers and quiet, though extremely bright. He was the youngest of four siblings and the favourite of his mother, the late Queen Talissa, because his frame resembled that of the now-extinct tribes of the Brimstone Peaks, from which she descended. He carries the ancient Great-sword called "Münta" which means "sword of the mountain". The sword was forged from the heart of a mountain and passed down from chief to chief of the tribe. The last of the tribe mysteriously disappeared in 718AV and the sword was delivered to Talissa, the daughter of the last chief, who then passed it to Dendrick.
On the right is Dendrick's friend Sir Grendol. Grendol was the one who gave Dendrick the nickname "Trollsbane" after a run-in with a Troll in the winter of 726AV.
Sir Grendol tells the story like this, "In the thick of the Seven Year War, Sir Arthur, father of Arthrell and Captain of the King's Shield died in his attempt to rescue the husband of Princess Vianna. Dendrick and Arthrell then volunteered to lead a force to the Rocklands at the base of the mountains east of the Ice Lake to search for his sister's kidnapped husband. To Dendrick's surprise, and his mother Talissa’s horror, his father granted his request. Arthrell however was not permitted to leave as it was now his duty replace his father as Captain of the King's Shield. Dendrick was given authority over 20 men, barely a scouting party, to search the troll infested mountains. We left the Storm Hold in the Fall of 726AV and after stopping to aid House Trench of the Oaken Bridge, made it to the Rocklands 2 months later. We searched for another 2 months and found no trace of Harrison, or any trace of the orcs. In the middle of winter, we were deep within the mountains when we were beset upon by a Troll. He crushed our packmule and threw it towards us and Dendrick was trapped under it. He struggled to get free while we were smashed to pieces. One after another our comrades fell until only 5 of us remained, including Dendrick. Together, we lifted the mule off the Prince while the Troll was distracted and we engaged the beast. Our attacks did little and three more men fell. Finally, Dendrick displayed a rage and strength the like that I'd never seen. He slid under the beast, leaped upon a rock and jumped off, bringing his blade down on the back of the troll’s head. A tidal wave of blood seemed to fill the cave and when it cleared, the troll laid on the rocks, cloven in two. Knowing that we could search no longer, Dendrick and I returned to the Storm Hold in spring of 727AV. It was on the journey home that I first called him Trollsbane and it seems like the name stuck."
Both men joined Queen Talissa on her diplomatic mission to the North and were guests there when the Stormhold fell in 728AV. After this, they and their party fled to the Western cities and were mercenaries until 737AV when Dendrick's nephew returned to the throne.

No eskies, gas rings or modern packaging to be seen. We managed an awfully period kitchen this year and we had just a few things to look out for next year. Good food came out of here.
After dinner singing. The new dining pavillion is 4½ metres tall and we had the place packed with people singing. I think this should definitely be a yearly occurance.

Stardust is the story of Tristan Thorne (Cox), a very ordinary boy on the edge of manhood who works in the very ordinary grocer’s shop in the very ordinary English village of Wall. The only thing about Wall that isn’t ordinary is the wall for which it is named, a wall that divides our world from the land of Faerie on the other side, a wall that it is forbidden to cross…
Tristan is in love with Victoria Forrester (Miller), the prettiest (and most spoiled) girl in the village, and to win her hand in marriage he rashly promises to venture into Faerie and bring her back the shooting star that they watch fall one evening. Crossing into the magical kingdom of Stormhold, Tristan is surprised to discover that, rather than a lump of rock, his star is an irritable young woman called Yvaine (Danes), whose leg was injured when she fell. Despite her protests, Tristan sets out to bring her back to Victoria; he soon finds himself cast in the role of protector, for Yvaine is in terrible danger: the heart of a star brings eternal life and youth to the eater, and is sought by Lamia (Pfeiffer), one of a trio of powerful witches, as well as the Princes of Stormhold, who seek to come into their inheritance.
The subtitle of Stardust is ‘being a romance set within the realms of faerie’ and romance here does not mean Valentines and red roses, it means heroic or marvelous deeds, pageantry, romantic exploits, usually in an historical or imaginary setting. But where Stardust differs from ‘high fantasy’ (Tolkien et al) is that as well as all the fantastical and potentially terrifying elements there is a great deal of comedy thrown into the mix. So rather than being an ever so slightly po-faced, take myself a great deal too seriously film along the lines of Eragon and every other dungeons and dragons type film for the past however long, Stardust is a fun-packed, madcap adventure which will charm and delight adults and children alike. There is plenty of fighting, witches, unicorns, and flying pirate ships; it also has cross-dressing pirates and dead princes whose ghostly visages bear the marks of their deaths, and who wryly comment, unheard, on the goings on of their still-living brothers.
The performances, especially DeNiro’s, are faultless; Charlie Cox is a star in the making, convincing both as the gormless younger Tristan and his calmly confident and mature incarnation; Michelle Pfeiffer brilliant as the wicked witch, rejoicing rather saucily in her temporary youth and beauty. The only real disappointment is the character of Yvaine who is a bit passive and soppy, though Danes glows very prettily. Perhaps she hit her head when she fell? But Stardust is the perfect fantasy film for people who don’t like fantasy, and deserves to find a huge audience. It’s a perfect Hallowe’en treat.
I went to the Stormhold Winterfeast and wore the Princess Dress. My cleveage is always good in that dress and it deserved a photo!
Oh and I was awarded the Silver Drakkar as you can see carefully hanging around my neck and resting on my left breast.
PFab 4th challenge photoshoot.
A lot of the same here, but there were several photos from this shoot that I liked so I'm uploading them.
The theme was called "All That Glitters..." and was about jewelry. We were supposed to make a pic that could be for a jewelry ad. At first, my idea was to use my engagement ring and put it in a flower and have her looking at it, but that just didn't pan out.
Instead, just before I was about to take the pics, I was reminded of "Stardust". My fiance and I saw the movie in theaters a few months back and I had just finished reading the book a couple of weeks ago. In the book and movie, the character Yvaine was a star that had been knocked out of the sky by a jewel that the king of Stormhold had thrown. It was a test to see who would become his heir. So Yvaine has fallen to the land of Faerie and has to carry around the jewel until the rightful heir asks for it from her. In the movie, she wears the jewel around her neck as a necklace, but in the book she ties it around her waist so that's what I did here.
And the chain around her wrists is also from the book/movie. The main character, Tristan, finds Yvaine and uses a silver chain to bind her to him. He had promised the girl he was in love with that he would bring the star back to her, not knowing at the time that the star was a girl. And to enslave a star like that is a very bad thing to do, but he does let her go. They fall in love and live happily every after and all that. ;)
So my idea was for her to be like the star, Yvaine, in these pics.
Britons Arms Coffee Shop, 9 Elm Hill, Norwich.
The Britons Arms coffee shop was transformed into Stormhold’s ‘Slaughtered Prince’ inn, where Tristan (Charlie Cox) and Yvaine (Claire Danes) spend the night. The owners wanted to keep the mural and the little thatch added for the film – but Elm Hill is a serious conservation area and English Heritage were having none of it.
