Not my pic! Picture is from E.M.S.
Happy new year 2017! ^_^
I hope your NYE party was a good one, be it more of a calm one with your beloved ones and your dolls or with party people! As for myself, I was with a few friends and we had a more of a calm evening and we had Raclette and we ate way too much! It was comatose :D
As an after-christmas present I bought myself Devi Delacour and this pic is from the seller. I can't wait!
At first, I saved money for Allegra but I explored that the paypal currency rate was like from medieval and I just didn't want to pay extra 20 € for nothing. I was so mad about it that I literally screwed Allegra and bought Devi from a private seller. I recently fell in love with her and I even know what kind of fashion style she will wear. She even wasn't on my Blythe-wishlist. That was a quickly escalated crush on her that happend the last few days.
Before I was buying her and after the fact, that I didn't want to buy Allegra anymore, I was thinking about buying Devi or Curly Blue Babe which was a grail doll for a longer time. I made a Pros and Cons-List between them both and actually, CBB won. BUT, after I looked her up on ebay, I've seen that she was sold out after having her for months on my watch list. I was kinda mad. I looked up some pictures of CBB on Instagram and Flickr and I found out that I only like colorful clothes on CBB. But I wanted to make gothic-clothes for her! So what do?
And after that, I realized that Devi was MADE for goth-style clothes. So my decision was certain. I had to purchase Devi Delacour!

The stylistic origins of Basohli painting remain obscure, for although there are some affinities to contemporary Plains schools, there seem to be no direct connections. The sources may lie to the north and east in Nepal and Tibet. While the set of paintings from which these two come comprise the earliest known Basohli painting, they are certainly not the first paintings made there.The Devi is the first painting in a set that originally comprised eighty paintings, each showing a different incarnation or aspect of the Devi, the Great Goddess, the female counterpart of God. The Varahi image is from the same set and numbered 35. The Sanskrit invocation on the reverse: I worship the Devi! with her gracious face, voluptuous, her playful eyes gleaming, clothed in a blue garment, her pearls and small bells sounding, her bimba-fruit lips tender and red, adorned, wearing a white choli, endowed with priceless jewels, adorned with heavenly pearls, her mouth full of betel, the pearls on her nose shining, wearing heavenly collyrium, bearing the magnificent crescent moon, ornamented with the radiance of various jewels and white flowers, resplendent in her autumn-cloud garland, her hips bound in a girdle of bells, wearing a braid-creeper of pearls, resembling the rising sun!
VISIONS OF THE GREAT GODDESS
September 2004
This serene portrait of Devi is the opening folio of the Tantric Devi series (see also The Boar- faced goddess, Varahi, 1990: 1038). The lotus flowers in her hand and the silvered water at her feet are symbols of the power she wields as the source of all life . Like other paintings in this series, the joyful Devi is adorned with emeralds in the form of shaved beetle carapaces, which sparkle like precious jewelry. """
