it is always wonderful to look back at favourite Lingerie Moments, those moments that transport us to the wonderful world of femininity.
Stay Safe and Well
The 27cm Obitsu is the most posable by far. I don't like the 23cm soft body Obitsu. It feels weird. The Liv doll is surprisingly posable. The Kurhns and Barbie were the lease posable despite some of them being jointed.
.When I got the TTL, I was shocked at how big it was. It has a very solid feel and holds positions well, though it's not nearly as flexible as I'd hoped. The TTL doesn't fit into much Barbie clothes but Ken's jeans fit her surprisingly well. Her feet are also HUGE and not anywhere close to fitting into fashion doll shoes. I happened to have a pair of vintage Ken sneakers that are snug on her flat feet but fit her "high heel" feet a little loosely.
I meant to include a Momoko in this comparison but forgot.
It was pretty exciting to do a more fashion oriented shoot for the first time, and I had so much fun. I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Having departed Cwmbagoed, 66570 slowly makes its way down the steeply graded single line branch along the Taff Bargoed Valley to Ystrad Mynach where the train will join the Rhymney line to Cardiff. This is the daily working (Monday to Friday, and sometimes Saturday) to Port Talbot (6C94), for once a clear day in this somewhat desolate landscape.
Even though the Snowtroopers didn't find the droids their colleagues on Tattooine were looking for, they did come across a rather nice shiny ring!
A pretty strange thing to see, I wonder if the suspension placement is intentional, judging by the other modifications I'd imagine it probably is.

Oh dang. I must say, I had the most amazing time with my brother these past few days. Like, really really amazing. We went to so many places!
Okay, so first, like I told you, we went to this Muscat Festival, right. Ahh, it was pretty okay. I didn't get to go on the rides for some reason. I mean I could have but I guess, being me.. I was a wee bit too lazy. But anyways, we saw the water-works and gymnastics, and what other stuff not!
I wanna go again! But this time, only with my friends. Dang, I'm just trying to imagine the amount of craziness we'd go into!
Anyways, anyways, next on our list of places was this tiny secluded tourist area, called Wadi-Bani-Khalid. Pretty tongue twisting words for you guys, I'm guessing. Now this place, was heavenly. It was a wee bit hot, but not too much so as to make me start sweating all over the place! There were all these tiny little canals moving through the place. It was filled with rocks, believe me, like, totally filled. This place is pretty famous for its tiny lagoons and for trekking.
We went trekking almost all over the place, and it was fun! I had the camera in my hand but unfortunately, I could click only a few pictures since the memory flash in the camera was only 64 MB (Yes, 64MB. Sucks, right?) and I didn't have any other memory disk. So unfortunately I could click only 30-40 pictures.
Getting back to the point, we trekked most of the way; had little stops in between just to get our breath back in. On our way, we met this 16 year old Omani tour guide, Zahar. He learnt English and French with the help of his Bangladeshi teachers and the regular tourists to that area.
There was this tiny little cave on top of this rocky hill and Zahar offered to take us inside it. My dad waited outside and me and my brother followed him inside the pitch black cave. Zahar had two mobiles with torchlights fixed in them, out of which one he gave to my brother and one he took for himself. My brother went in first, then came hesitant me and then Zahar.
For some reason, my brain kept on switching tracks and it kept on replaying a few ghastly scenes of this movie, The Descent. I have no idea if you guys have seen it, but I loved it. It mostly revolves around these people who enter a cave and are trapped inside with this horrendous creatures who tear them apart and eat them raw. Pretty disgusting, but I like disgusting! So anyways, the eating scenes kept on getting played in my head. On top of that I kept on waiting for Zahar to run out and close the cave in some miraculous way and leave us inside with nothing but a mobile torchlight. Either that, or he'd wait for my brother to lead the way and then take me aside and murder me. There were many other scenarios rushing through my panicking brain, but trust me.. You do not wanna know about them.
Thankfully, nothing of the sort happened. You want proof? Well, dudey's.. Who'd you think is typing all this for you?!
Zahar took us inside the cave, which was pretty cool. We saw cockroaches inside (D.I.S.G.U.S.T.I.N.G.) and we were trying to spot some bats on the cave roof, but unfortunately for us, they'd all ran (or flew) off somewhere else. After that, we entered this other tinier cave in which Zahar said there was supposed to be some water. On entering, I felt way too claustrophobic for my own good since the CO2 presence in that cave was too much for my tiny delicate lungs. I almost screamed to let in some air, but I let go of the thought, thinking that if I did open my mouth, the CO2 would enter inside my trachea and it would fill the entire of my lungs and that would be the last of Nikita Gupta. Ah, I know, I can be pretty dramatic when I want to be!
Anyways, to finally get out of the cave, we had to use this tiny tiny opening through which I had to literally crawl through! Which of course in the end, managed to get me all dirty in the process. *Frowns*. After getting out, for some freakish reason, my legs kept on shaking. I stopped for 2 seconds, and they'd shake like an earthquake was on the way. Either that, or someone was playing Party Rock Anthem somewhere near by. Hmm.. I wonder.
Anyways guys, there was so much more to this trip. I wish I could write all the teenie-weeny details but that would only manage to get you bored and of course, I'm too lazy to do that too. I could be the Queen of Laziness someday. What crown would I wear though?
Bah! I talk way too much for my own good.
Hope you had fun reading this!
Love ya'll!
Take care! <3 :)
Ps. OMG. I finally have a butterfly on my stream! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
*Screams the house down*
*frowns*
*scratches head*
..Did that make sense? o.O

Took a few quick photos after a morning yoga workout session on my back patio! I love the color of this leotard and sometimes it doubles as a one piece swim suit!
Throwback photo. When I saw this I laughed coz I thought, do I always grab food like that? And Arno, that boy, poses as if nothing's happening beside him. :)))

Thanks for all your comments and faves, much appreciated.
Everywhere you look FaceApp seems to be appearing. First time round I had a go for fun but as is evident I don’t touch up my pics (only on occasion do I blur an arm or a background if items in shot don’t match the scene. But I found out they added a photo morphing option so here is the first of 2 pics where I have magically morphed with the inspirations. If you are bored let me know in the comments who you think I merged with some are obvious some not so much 💋 and the answers are Zan from the Lounge Kittens Katy Seagal( no change) Daisy Ridley Linda Carter Ash Costello Zoey Deutch an Elsa doll Molly Ringwald Lzzy Hale Katy Montgomerie (Twitter trans celeb)
The intense red and orange hues of the sky at sunset and sunrise are mainly caused by scattering of sunlight off dust particles, soot particles, other solid aerosols, and liquid aerosols floating in the earth's atmosphere. These enhanced red and orange colors at sunset and sunrise are mathematically explained by mie theory or the discrete dipole approximation -Wikipedia (click on the links for a very complicated look into sunsets)
i was searching sunset colors and boy, what a surprise... it so simple now, with wikipedia... just google and voila! but the explanation isn't to be underestimated. here's a more simple look into sunsets =)
happy friday!!
"Well it's not far down to paradise, at least's not for me
If the wind is right you can sail away and find tranquility
Oh the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see, believe me
It's not far to never, never land, reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy of innocence again
Oh the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see, believe me
Sailing, takes me away
To where I've always heard it
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
Soon I will be free
Fantasy, it gets the best of me when I'm sailing
All caught up in the reverie
Every word is a symphony, won't you believe me?
Sailing, takes me away
To where I've always heard it
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
Soon I will be free
It's not far back to sanity at least it's not for me
And when the wind is right you can sail away and find serenity
Oh the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see, believe me
Sailing, takes me away
To where I've always heard it
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
Soon I will be free"

January 23, 2006 revision: There was a huge big black thread hanging from the chair on the right, which had been bugging me almost since uploading this picture in August 2005. Since this is a personal favourite, I’ve fixed it. The thread was removed and I made a few other tweaks. I like the cable on the left and left it.
Rounding off an unusual afternoon of vintage BR traction in Bristol, 50049 passes Parson Street station with a rake of HST coaches on 5Z50 Laira to Long Martson ECS.
Had it passed a few seconds earler, the Machester Picadilly - Exeter St Davids would have been in a rather inconvenient position. Getting a bit dark, too.
3rd December 2019.
It's been a special day for us (new site and new translations of my book) but it's also a very special day for someone else...
Today is the birthday of one of the most crazy creative persons that I know, she started as a model for us YEARS ago and promised me that every shoot would be better and more crazy... we never thought she would keep that promise, but hey I loved working with her anyway.
It's now many years later and she is still one of top 5 models but most of all good friend and our in house stylist and allround good person to be around.......
She will also be joining me on our workshop tour through the UK in July and many other workshops to come....
You already know who I'm talking about....?
Congratulations Nadine, have a rocking birthday... and don't forget to bring cake next time you visit... because what most will not know, Nadine is an AWESOME cake maker, trust me I know....
With wheels spinning and sand flying Athens Lines pair of geeps work to push the a pair of loads up the over 4% grade to the UGA heating plant in Athens,G.
It was almost 23:00. We were on the way back to the cabin, while passing through this little village that we had been almost everyday during the trip. This was the only time that there was moonlight shining in the sky. Those little red cabins lies next to the ocean in this peaceful night, as if narrating their old stories.

What is more relaxing than a tall glass of water on a hot summers day?

Let's welcome in spring! with a bright yellow dandelion, shall we? The curse of some gardeners, dandelions make delicious wines and salads and have been used medicinally for centuries. I can't vouch for this recipe for dandelion wine or this one, so if any of you have a better or different one, please share it. And here's just one of many recipes one can find on Google for a dandelion greens salad.
And best wishes to our friends in the Southern Hemisphere for a happy autumn.
Thank you for visiting.

I don't know why, but this scene reminded me of the planet Camazotz in Madeleine L'Engle's classic sci-fi novel A Wrinkle In Time. In that novel, IT is the malevolent force that rules all of the inhabitants of Camazotz.
This isn't actually Camazotz - it's the PATH station in The Oculus in lower Manhattan. It just looked really creepy to me, as if the figures in black were mindlessly rushing toward some cultish icon. Maybe they were.
