The gondola is a traditional, flat-bottomed Venetian rowing boat, well suited to the conditions of the Venetian lagoon. The rowing oar, which is not fastened to the hull, is used in a sculling manner, also acting as the rudder. For centuries the gondola was the chief means of transportation and most common watercraft within Venice. It is propelled by a gondolier. In modern times the iconic boats still have a role in public transport in the city, serving as traghetti (ferries) over the Grand Canal. They are also used in special regattas (rowing races) held amongst gondoliers. Their primary role today, however, is to carry tourists on rides at fixed rates.

I have been looking for a replacement for my favorite flats for a while now. After failing to find the exact shoes again, I found a worthy replacement. Black Sam & Libby Bow Flats. They are really similar. Obviously, the newer shoes from Old Navy were based off of these vintage flats.
Anyways, after scouring ebay for the last couple months, someone finally listed some in my size! They came today and they are in perfect condition and fit great. I could cry.
I'm wearing my new silver 'grommet' flats from RAID London with 20D black pantyhose and pleated skirt. They feel great and will garner a lot of attention when I wear them in public soon!!💕

When I was looking for locations around the city for doll photography, I brought a few Liccas with me inside my bag and with them was this adorable pair of wee miniature rabbits. I've posted them here a couple of days ago in a forrest setting, and also with Licca here. ^^
During a little break at a cafe I took the camera out and photographed them as they were idling away on my shoes! The idea just popped into my head. :)
These shimmery flats are currently my fave summer shoes! So easy to wear and cute enough to mix & match with lots of different outfits!
(I never thought I'd post a picture of MY FEET in my doll related Flickr, hehe. ^^)

The Flat Iron Building in Asheville, North Carolina is located between Battery Park Avenue and Wall Street. It was designed by architect, Albert C. Wirth and completed in 1926. The building gets its name from its triangle shape. I thought I would post a couple black and white shots for a change of pace.
I have been so busy this year but I just realized that I have a couple of hours left to enter the last challenge of the year! So...I thought I would join in : )
This image was taken at a rest area at the Bonneville Salt Flats on the Great Salt Lake, in Utah. It was so amazing to pull up in the truck, and see these people "walking on the water" wow! Most of my photography these days is taken from the truck as my husband drives, and I am thankful that he has gotten well, and can still drive. We enjoy the sights all around the country, there is so much to see.
I'm sorry I haven't been able to participate as much as I would like, but I just have been busy, distracted, and worn out when I'm home. I just can't always get to my photography, even though it is my favorite thing!
I miss all my friends here on Flickr, and I hope all of you are well, happy, and enjoying the New Year so far : )
For 52 in 2016
Theme: Favorite Image of 2016
Week 52
Ursula has been fully deboxed, and placed free standing with her tentacles fully stretched out (except for a small curl at their tips). I like her alot, I think more than the LE Ursula. But she is by no means a perfect Ursula. The build in stand for her is a smaller version of the one for the LE doll. It is a metal pole with a flat disk that fits into a pocket on the underside of Ursula. Unlike the LE doll stand, this one is not portable. Only her front four tentacles are articulated. The two rear ones are just stuffed, so don't really help support Ursula. However she can still free stand, with her tentacles stretched out. Her arms are fully articulated, a big improvement over the LE Ursula, but her hands don't have much freedom of movement forward or backward. Her neck is VERY stiff, so I moved her head will great difficulty, and I was afraid to damage her head or neck if I applied any more force. Perhaps it will become looser with over time. As with LE Ursula, her top is removable (although I haven't done so yet), and the lower portion of her torso is stuffed with her leather like skin permanently sewn on. With her sitting down with her tentacles spread out, she looks like a starfish, and she is very stable. With her tentacles upright, she can free stand, but isn't very stable. It would have helped greatly if her two rear tentacles were articulated, to help support her standing pose. Standing up, she comes up to about Ariel's height, so is far smaller than the animated character. While deboxing and posing her, one rhinestone and one sequin fell off, but I don't miss them since there are hundreds of those on her body and tentacles.
I got the Ariel and Ursula Doll Set on Tuesday October 20, 2015, at my local Disney Store's raffle. I was 17th of 18 called, so I'm very glad I was able to get her in store. There was about the same amount of people who were there for the Snow/Hag set, so about 10 people missed out today. My set is #4185 of 6000. I will show this set boxed, during deboxing, and fully deboxed. I took the set I was given. I noticed that Ariel's eyelashes were not at the same angle between her two eyes, but it didn't bother me enough to ask for another set. There were no other noticeable defects in the set.
I have deboxed Ariel, and found to my surprise that the pile of rocks is totally separate from the display case, and is free standing. Ariel is supposed to free sit on the rock stand, and stay in position just by the friction of her sequined tail on the uneven surface of the top rock. It also helps if the floor of is rough (like a carpet) rather than the smooth surface that I was using for the photoshoot. Next, I was pleasantly surprised is that she has the old Designer Princess body, so rubber legs and swivel waist joint. As I expected, her hair is heavily gelled to keep her curls, but not as heavily as the 17'' LE Ariel from 2013. So only the bottom third of her curls are stiff. There were a couple of stray hairs stuck in her neck joint (ouch!) and some short hairs (like trimmings) that I had to remove from her face and chest. She is pretty, but not drop dead gorgeous as were the previous two Designer Ariel dolls (from 2011 and 2013). I also don't like her see through top. It has a rough surface, so her hairs kept on getting caught in it.
Her sequins making up her tail are iridescent, so it appears to be different colors (various shades of green, blue and purple) depending on the angle of the light and angle of viewing. That is similar to how the scales of an actual fish appear. This was an unexpected feature of her tail that makes me like it much more than I did from the stock photos, or even from viewing her in person in the display dolls before I bought her and deboxed her. I also really like her fins, which are wired to stiffen them, and are posable.
I also compare Designer Ariel side by side with the OOAK Ariel made by a fellow collector, who used the 2014 Classic Ariel as the base.

This old Ford flat-nose is definitely an original. Nothing modified about it that I could tell and I like that. Interesting truck for sure.
Because everyone needs to have their own photo of some ballet flats...
