Face up by Hyrrra
It's time for Hime to be a bunny again, just like in the old days. Each year, when summer comes, she pays a visit to her friends in the forest. But the forest they live in protects itself from the intruders with a sweet mist, making ill-minded people or sinister beings shy away from the sight of it and give up their thoughts of entering the forest.
It has no such effect on Hime, of course. The only thing is, she dresses as a bunny so her friends are able to pick her out from the distance and know that it's her ;) (or, she simply loves to dress as a bunny and gladly uses this as an excuse. Yes, possibly ^^)
"I wish Fuchsia could come with me," she complained. "We discovered this forest and made friends here together, after all."
She left home at sunrise and finally arrived. They must have seen her by now. Oh such a lovely day it's going to be!
(Note: Fuchsia caught a cold. Nothing serious, but weather has been so unstable here last week. She is resting and will be well soon ^_^)
So we had to document KiraKira's tragedy today... She and her friends have decided to have a masquerade ball lately and were working hard for preparations every day. In the end, the big day came, but... KiraKira twisted her ankle just when she was all dressed, decorated and ready to leave home! The ball was cancelled (since the girls would not have fun in her absence), but she really was in the mood and even insisted that we bandage her ankle with lace!
She cutely accepted an unexpected surprise of life with calm. Teach me how to do it, too, KiraKira! So we are definitely going to have the party some other day ^_^
(Adorable dress by Louella. KiraKira borrowed the corset from Ruby, my circus girl)
Grape has been lazy lately. She also kept telling me she was not in the mood, when I wanted to take some photos of her.
On the way back home yesterday, the sun had just started setting. The day was still very bright, but it was that kind of daylight when the sun is not so young as in the morning hours, but tired and more orange than yellow... When it lets us know that evening is near. It was exactly then, when Grape sighed. "It's all because of summer," she said. "Summer distracts me! You know me, I always love to wander around, to be in the nature. But in summer, all I want to do is shopping!"
Did you miss Grape? I certainly did! That's why I sneaked out of the house after her, after she left yesterday.
In the afternoons, especially cloudy and a bit breezy ones, Grape likes to take a walk along the ocean. Just strolling around, taking her shoes off. She is never seen wearing a jacket, or at least a cardigan to keep her warm, because she is never cold. "How can I feel cold, or any physical discomfort, when I'm completely overwhelmed by the beauty around me?" she told me. "Especially when everything turns into Grape color in the mid-spring... My soul is so warm, see..?"
She deserves a hug ^__^
Did you ever miss some of your childhood memories so dearly? Childhood is a strange thing, even if it contains bad or hurtful memories, the beautiful ones follow you into your adulthood and keep coming back to your mind when life is harsh, when you find it hard to be an adult. You begin to find immense warmth in the little keepsakes reminding you of these memories (if you still keep them of course); an old, yellowed picture book, a tiny plastic bunny, or your first pencil case becomes priceless treasures for you to protect, the little remnants from your childhood dreams...
If you feel like this sometimes too, if you miss those moments and the way you dreamed about life when you were little... Be careful! But I mean it in a good way ;) Be careful, because a magical surprise may come to your way. If you miss your dreams strong enough, if you wish strong enough that you had them again, they'll come for you. Embodied as a little, lovely friend, your dreams will come to you again to remind themselves, to bring your childhood joy again into your life. So, this is what my childhood dreams look like... Luna ^__^ Welcome, my dear... I have been waiting for you for so long...
Just remember to keep the child inside you safe ^_^
(Luna is a wish I had for a long time, finally realized by the talented MayYeo. Magical hands, she has ^__^)
You know how deep the friendship of Hime and Mr. Luxe is, don't you? He didn't want her to let go of his hand even to help Eloise or to do some simple chores.
Yesterday, Hime went to chat with the girls to another room while he was sleeping. When he woke up and saw that Hime was nowhere to be found and most importantly, noticed that neither his right nor his left paw was held by her, he got cross!
Now he sits there on the floor, all alone and doesn't speak with her. Or anybody. Hime was so sad and nervous, her stomach began to ache. Oh what should we do now..?
"I said I'm sorry... You were sleeping and I didn't wanted to disturb you, we were having a conversation, you see..."
"But you are my only friend..."
"Oh my dear..."
Zooey did not want to be photographed while she was counting and sorting her sensational feather collection, as you can tell by her expression ;) But I'm sure she'll forgive me, because the magic of her colorful collection is something to be shared, for sure!
Finally, Ruby's bicycle show debuted this evening! I know, I've been talking about how hard Ruby was working, practising and rehearsing all the time. You did not believe me, perhaps, but what could I do, Ruby just doesn't like to be photographed all the time! Not only that she's shy, she also wants to keep some secrets. She wants the audience at the circus to be the first people who ever see her shows. Some photos including hints to her choreography would leave her sad and uninspired...
Yes, "her shows", since there are more than one. She's always been the starring actress of Madam Argall's circus and had to master more than one field. But let's talk about these later ^_^ Because it was a very tiring night, Ruby just finished her show and is removing her make-up at the backstage. I know she's tired, but she also can't help but to smile all the time, which means everything went well at the stage and she felt the love coming from her fans...
Here is a photo I managed to take, when her name was being announced and just before she was about to take stage. "I've been on the stage for so many years now," she says, "but every single time my heart's pounding in my chest like it's the first time..." ♥
(I made her dress and bicycle, and was able to find the perfect ballerina shoes thanks to a dear friend ♥)
Spring is almost here, that means circus season is opening soon, too! Ruby is busy nowadays, she rushes between rehearsals and the tailor's every day. There is so much to be done and so many show dresses to be tried on!
"Perhaps this dress needs a bit more lace? Or color? What do you think? or should we leave it plain and pure..? And I think I need it a bit tighter," Ruby asks her tailor and her best friend as well.
Would you like to see Ruby on stage? And would you like to meet her tailor? I definitely would! I've been feeling tired and uninspired lately, but the girls are helping me, so I hope I can make it ^^
It was so hard to catch Luna and take a photo of her these days! After breakfast, she hurries outside with a long list of things-to-do-today. She visits bookshops, stares at shop windows for hours (especially toy stores and windows with mannequins wearing fancy clothes), collects leaves and stones and watches birds and flowers... Practically every simple thing that I liked to do when I was little. She is the embodiment of my childhood after all ^__^
But, she also does things I couldn't do then, or things I dreamed of. To be able to squeeze so many activities into a single day, she has to be fast, of course! So she is the best roller-skater in the neighborhood! If you hear the sound of little wheels turning on the pavement, or feel a sweet breeze just like someone passed your house by... Look closely, it may be Luna!
P.S. I made Luna's balloon skirt! I sewed it like a real human balloon skirt which took ages, but here it is and I'm really happy to see her in it, I hope she is happy, too ^_^
We all got kind of obsessed with all kinds of ribbons lately... Especially silk ones. Grape insists wearing hers even during cleaning and laundry, Hime started to adorn her hair with a bow every morning, KiraKira already had her signature red bow (which was "borrowed" by Ruby for a little while last week)... Now she wants her own ribbons, too. I guess we have to go to do some ribbon shopping soon.
On the way to the doll meet I swung by Requiemart's house to pick up the lovely custom Duela Dent pullip. Duela Dent is loosely based off of the DC character who is an else world's daughter of the Joker (multi-verse shenanigans).
There are sure signs of spring if you really look for them:
1. When some bunnies, who have been staying home all day in winter, can be found in parks and meadows;
2. When they can't resist the beauty of flowers and start wearing flower crowns instead of their fluffy bunny ears;
3. And when they (and this time you too) feel the need to take off the jackets under the warm spring sun.
When all these three requirements are met, it's said spring has really come. Officially approved by Hime the bunny. ♥ ♫ ♪
Kumo (Poison Girl's custom Pullip doll) miss the rain so much... (me too, it's too hot here and I just catch a cold U____U)
I can't help myself. She is as sweet as cotton candy but more memorable. Her lips are my favorite thing and it took quite a few tries to get them right. I hope you enjoy her as much as I am. ~_^.
Again, another crappy cell shot (I was being lazy)! Hope you can still see well enough to smell her sweetness. = )
And this is for Melissa . . . sometimes I wonder where my days go and then I see this and I remember . . . "Hey, I actually did something for myself." xoxo
It all began on that morning. Many years ago, one morning, like all the other mornings, Birdie left home early and started walking to school. She was already a very adventurous young lady. At an early age, she had moved to a house near the shore with her father, a renowned zoologist and birdwatcher. Aside from the many things she learned in that house, one of the most special moments for her was walking to school using the route along the shore. Of course, she could never have known that this love of hers was going to be the reason for the biggest passion of her life, too.
One day, as she was watching birds in the sky and diving into the ocean, she heard a humming noise. It was a very cloudy and misty morning and she wasn't able to see where the sound was coming from, at first. But then, from the point where the sun was hiding behind the gray clouds, three airplanes emerged. "I love watching birds so much..," Birdie thought. "Why do I not fly among them..?" Those metal, bulky birds... Somehow were in such harmony with the elegant, gracious birds she grew up watching. Everything at that moment was like a dream to her senses; the colors, the sounds, and the tickling sensation she started to feel in her heart. It was like a dream, because she was so startled at how she could not discover her dream until that day. Yes, it had to be a discovery. Because it was always inside her, waiting to be woken up. And perhaps because of that amazement of hers, she didn't even hear herself whispering, "I will fly..."
This is how Grape spends her time these days... She says she will read the books on her reading list, take long walks along the ocean and watch the sun set in the evenings. She misses her best friends, too. I hope they all join her soon :)
"I have arrived. I'm waiting for you under the cherry tree. But come quick please. The wind is so strong, I'm cold and my feathers started to fall off and fly away. Please be quick..."
A mysterious little one is calling me. I better go and pick her up.
No one spoke a single word at home when Eloise was reading her letter... Even when we saw tiny teardrops in the corners of her eyes... But she was smiling, too ^^
Sweet Grape went to the ocean side this weekend, for the first time! Although it was a little chilly, she preferred to wander around in her sundress until the sunset. It looks like she'll be spending a lot of time there, my lovely girl ^_^
Agony is a Yukittie custom, she is a gore custom obviously so I realize she is not everyone's cup of tea. I love the horror genre and I love pullips, why would I not love someone who so eloquently fits in both genres? While I realize not everyone is going to love her quite the way I do, I would appreciate it if comments were kept respectful. I had a surge in negative fm's about her overnight and it was quite disheartening. I bought her so I obviously like her so try to keep things respectful at least.
I'm tired... It took so long to get you. Besides, my feathers have all flown and are scattered around now. Let's collect them and go home...
Meet Zooey, the mysterious little one who was waiting for me. The feathers..? She is a very special girl and will tell us her story, but first a little rest...
She is customized by dear Malkama. Her own wig was very cute and I actually had no intention to change it. I bought this wig for another girl in the first place. But I don't know why, when I put it on her head (just for trying), there she was. There was Zooey, telling me her story.
JPGroove is now selling the Antique Skull Dress designed by Jolie Lenie as a separate outfit set, it was originally designed for the JolieDoll exclusive version of Pullip Merl.
I think my new custom girl by Myufish may just be keeping it!
... which is the reason why I am back. Back to protect my family, do anything I can to secure our home and peace now that we found it after so many years. We have endured so much, only to gain enough strength to treasure what we have now. Finally.
I, Almondine Rosegold, promise to be with you, my beloved family. Raffaello, Praline, Sunny... I love you. And I will protect you with all I have. From anything. Even from myself, even from my own mistakes. Because you are all I have left.
(I am back as well ♡ It felt so wrong without my precious dolls and stories, and I am so thankful to be finally able to share the first one on the long list I have now. I missed them, and I missed you ♡)
On the way to the doll meet I swung by Requiemart's house to pick up the lovely custom Duela Dent pullip. Duela Dent is loosely based off of the DC character who is an else world's daughter of the Joker (multi-verse shenanigans).
We are truly honored to have Stormy the Great Magician here at Madame Argall's Traveling Circus. Not every circus has the privilege of featuring a renowned and capable magician like her, excelling in both prestidigitation and illusion.
Many of her special performances are the classical tricks the 20th century world of magic has seen, but she is famous for adding unexplainable little details using her special powers. She always had the upper hand being a descendant of cloud folk, since she chose to pursue her career in the realm of magic and illusion.
I will try to share best photos capturing her in the middle of her most famous tricks, so you can get to know her more and have an idea how time in the circus passes by these days.
This is her most widely known act under the category of Illusion. A person is randomly selected from the audience, especially among those who are curious about their ancestors. Then the person (a lady, in this particular example) is made to wear a ceremonial cloak and mask. This is partly for giving her privacy while she experiences the most exciting and unsettling moments of her life and partly for preventing the spirits from seeing the person acting as medium during the performance, keeping them calm and neutral. The ancestors' spirits are then summoned by Stormy and in a controlled environment maintained by her superpowers, asked questions about the past.
The performance lasts about forty five minutes and leaves everyone witnessing it in awe for long after it ends. Stormy does not include this trick in every performance due to its exhausting nature, but it is announced prior to the show every other day. The seats sell out so quickly, so keep an eye out and come see the wonder!
When I saw this custom Pullip from Solarsenshi I knew she was special. I was lucky enough to purchase Minuit yesterday. She fits right in with my other Pullips (^_^).
I've been wanting to take a full photo of Birdie since she arrived. But she flies most of the time! And it is so hard to catch her just before she takes off, because the schedule of a successful aviatrix is always so tight.
That gave me other ideas. Did she not have any photos ever taken, in her aviation outfit..? She had to! When I kindly asked her, she said that there actually are some, in her album or between the pages of her manuals, somewhere... She really didn't have the time to organize them. She even gave me permission to browse through her stuff, and... Yes, you guessed it right! Oh, the treasures I found in her album, and between the pages of the manuals long read and forgotten...
I'll share them with you, one by one. Here is one, from a couple of years ago, looking already old and worn. Right before she boarded her beloved plane ♥ I wonder who took all these... Have to ask Birdie about this too.
