Built in 1913 and expanded in 1920, this Classical Revival-style building was designed by George Allen Grieble to house the Olympia Theatre in the rear and commercial space in the front along East 55th Street. The building features a red brick exterior with terra cotta trim, a rusticated base, decorative window hoods, one-over-one double-hung windows, a decorative cornice at the base of the parapet that encloses the low-slope roof, first floor retail shopfronts with large windows, a canopy at the original entrance to the theater with acroterions, displaying the name “Olympia Building” on the front, a metal fire escape mounted to the middle of the front facade on the third floor, and multiple entrances to the upper floors. The building housed commercial office and retail space in the front wing and a theater to the rear until 1980, when the theater closed, and fell into disrepair. In the 1980s, the building’s front wing was rehabilitated to house apartments, retail space, and offices, while the auditorium of the theater was demolished, and the lobby was left boarded up. The building is a contributing structure in the Broadway Avenue Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988, and today retains its historic exterior appearance, but no longer is occupied as it once was, with the theater gone and all first-floor retail spaces now vacant.
First pullip. Expect lots of Alice pictures! She quickly became one if my favorite dolls, and one of my favorite dolls to photograph. I got her from PullipStyle.com with a dent box, as I didn't care for the box, only Alice and her accessories, and I was planning to take her out of packaging from the start so I saved a couple of dollars there(even though it took me 5 minutes to find such dent that I hardly think of it as one. Such a non-problem being taken into consideration by the retailer really shows the high quality of service from PullipStyle).
Over-all review of Alice: She's mine hands off! Kidding aside lovely, and looks a lot like the drawings of Alice in Through The Looking-Glass, with a bit of pimped up attributes here and there making her a one of a kind variation. The wig has a good scent to it, so it won't get a foul odor on the clothing and accessories. It has no bald spots and you can't see the seams of the wig unless you push the hair over. It is a nice thin(dimensions matter!), polyester I believe, hair, with quite minute frizzing. Almost none, but making the hair look more natural. Her curls are not stiff, and incredibly soft. The company(Groove) used a very very high quality spray, that can't be noticed practically at all when touching the hair, to help keep the curls in their designated design. The curls are easily fixed with only moist fingers. Great doll, but very delicate. I've never been more careful with a doll than Alice.
About Sultan Ahmet Mosque
The Sultan Ahmed Mosque is an historical mosque in Istanbul. The mosque is popularly known as the Blue Mosque for the blue tiles adorning the walls of its interior. It was built from 1609 to 1616, during the rule of Ahmed I. Like many other mosques, it also comprises a tomb of the founder, a madrasah and a hospice. While still used as a mosque, the Sultan Ahmed Mosque has also become a popular tourist attraction
The design of the Sultan Ahmed Mosque is the culmination of two centuries of both Ottoman mosque and Byzantine church development. It incorporates some Byzantine elements of the neighboring Hagia Sophia with traditional Islamic architecture and is considered to be the last great mosque of the classical period. The architect has ably synthesized the ideas of his master Sinan, aiming for overwhelming size, majesty and splendour. It has one main dome, six minarets, and other eight secondary domes.
Very carefully layering graphite shadows on the face and very slightly light areas. And dark areas (hair) are sort of graphite sticks sharpening places now.
And the thing is: in real it looks a little darker but the scanner ruins the whole view. I hope you can see a little covering on the nose and round the mouth. I'll work in a little more contrast in shade with time.

UXMAL mayan city in the Yucatan, MExico, July 2018.
Uxmal (Yucatec Maya: Óoxmáal [óˑʃmáˑl]) is an ancient Maya city of the classical period in present-day Mexico. It is considered one of the most important archaeological sites of Maya culture, along with Palenque, Chichén, and Calakmul in Mexico, Caracol and Xunantunich in Belize, and Tikal in Guatemala. It is located in the Puuc region and is considered one of the Maya cities most representative of the region's dominant architectural style. It has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in recognition of its significance.
It is located 62 km south of Mérida, capital of Yucatán state in Mexico. Its buildings are noted for their size and decoration. Ancient roads called sacbes connect the buildings, and also were built to other cities in the area such as Chichén Itzá in modern-day Mexico, Caracol and Xunantunich in modern-day Belize, and Tikal in modern-day Guatemala.
Its buildings are typical of the Puuc style, with smooth low walls that open on ornate friezes based on representations of typical Maya huts. These are represented by columns (representing the reeds used for the walls of the huts) and trapezoidal shapes (representing the thatched roofs). Entwined snakes and, in many cases two-headed snakes are used for masks of the rain god, Chaac; its big noses represent the rays of the storms. Feathered serpents with open fangs are shown leaving from the same human beings. Also seen in some cities are the influences of the Nahua, who followed the cult of Quetzalcoatl and Tlaloc. These were integrated with the original elements of the Puuc tradition.
The buildings take advantage of the terrain to gain height and acquire important volumes, including the Pyramid of the Magician, with five levels, and the Governor's Palace, which covers an area of more than 1,200 m2 (12,917 sq ft).
Commonplace in southern Europe but a real rarity in Queensland. This is in Cooktown, the northern-most outpost of Civilisation on the east coast.
