Fairyland Minifee Celine with Viridian House faceup on cutie bust/cutie leg a-line body and 4 extra pairs of hands - $750
I purchased her before Fairyland offered certificates of authenticity, but I can provide the order number. The hands were also ordered directly from Fairyland in separate orders and I can provide you with evidence of that too.
She's in good condition, one of the better Fairyland dolls I've received from them in terms of quality. Her resin is smooth, no marks or "flakes". I'm assuming she's yellowed as she's two years old but it's even and I can see little difference in her resin and that of my f60 girl who was made end of 2014.
Sale includes her manual and original box. Shipping tracked and insured internationally from my country can be expensive, I'm willing to pay some of the shipping myself but it still can be pricey.
There's more photos of her on my Flickr under the album "India". Any questions, feel free to FM me :)

Song by the Killers. I previously posted a similar photo using other photos in the background. www.flickr.com/photos/27932019@N07/5983094614/in/photolis... The photos in the background are from the classic photo album, The Family of Man. I recently revisited that photo shoot and discovered a few other photos I took that day and decided I like this background as well. Taken 7/2011. Link to song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIZdjT1472Y PS BTW There is a debate concerning the lyrics. Some say the question is "are we denser" but Wiki lands on the side of dancer.

The question came up: What can Nikki wear?
Trapeze dress by House of Pinku (valentine westphal). It's an open question whether she'll ever make any more of these, but I had to include it. It was made for Sky Nikki!
SACREDspace - the 411 on Yoga & Cancer - The Heart Chakra
Within our body there are seven major energy centers, called chakras. These spiritual centers are aligned along the spinal column and are related to certain organs in the physical body. When energy is out of balance or not flowing correctly in the spiritual centers of the body, it can manifest as different kinds of imbalances, eventually resulting in illness or imbalance in the corresponding organs. Since the breast is close to and associated with the heart chakra, breast cancer can be seen to be related to this chakra.
The heart chakra is the center of divine love, and the light of this chakra at spiritual levels is a beautiful rose-pink. The heart chakra is often likened to a rose—a twelve-petaled rose-colored center from which divine love flows.[1]
There has been much written about the heart and the path of the heart. Even in our everyday language, the significance of the heart is seen: “Her heart is broken” or “It pains my heart to hear of all that she has been through” or “Get to the heart of the matter” or “Follow your heart and do what your heart tells you to do.” These are but a few of the many little phrases that tell us that we all know intuitively how important the heart is as a spiritual center. The heart is our most important spiritual center. There is a spiritual flame that burns in your heart; the light in your heart is greater than all of the darkness that is in the world. This is why the Bible says, “Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.” [2]
[1 & 2] www.journeythroughcancer.org/InitiationOfTheHeart.html
The “he that is in you” is the spirit of the living God, the flame of life that is anchored within your heart. The Heart Chakra is associated with the color green or pink. This love center of our human energy system is often the focus in bringing about a healing. Thus, the words "Love Heals All" have great truth. Hurtful situations that can effect our emotional being are divorce or separation, grief through death, emotional abuse, abandonment, adultery. All of these are wounding to the heart chakra. Physical illnesses brought about by heartbreak require that an emotional healing occur along with the physical healing. Learning to love yourself is a powerful first step in securing a healthy fourth chakra. The "wounded child" resides in the heart chakra. [3] healing.about.com/cs/chakras/a/chakra4.htm
Prior to my own diagnosis, I had also experienced an extremely painful situation when my marriage ended as I began the completion of my art degree. I was alone in a new city without the resources or knowledge on how to cope, much less survive. I remember the pain in my chest being so severe I literally thought I was having a stroke or heart attack. This type of physical response to an emotional situation is common place and for those who do not understand the importance of dealing with emotional pain, the body can and does find a way to manifest and demands a “Call to Action!”
Western medicine has begun to look and embrace more holistic approaches to healing with consideration given to the true value and impact of our emotions on our physical and mental well being. If you have any questions regarding the chakras, yoga, or emotional management you can contact SACREDspace Studio with your questions, feedback or suggestions.

Taken with Sony Alpha 350 and Sony (Tamron-based) 18-250mm zoom. Comparable R1 image can be seen here.
This is a preliminary experiment using jpeg images. Both would do slightly better if I'd started from RAW images.
Not quite the same viewpoint or lighting, but comparable enough to answer my first question of whether the extra pixels of the 350 (14MP as opposed to the R1's 10MP) show up in extra resolution when the 350 is used with the SAL 18-250mm zoom. The comments of many reviewers strongly suggested to me that the usual zooms offered as package kits with the 350 aren't good enough to exploit the 350's 14MP.
The spurs offer a good central comparison point, and the tail and forward hood good edge comparisons. Both images are cropped down about the same amount from slightly wider shots. Although the 350 shot is a bit shorter in height due to more foreshortening of height, the widths are very close to being in proportion to the native uncropped widths. In other words, the sizes of such details as hoof and spur occupy the same amount of sensor real estate, just being represented by 40% more pixels in the case of the 350.
Both images have been subjected to exactly the same post camera adjustments, namely a slight boost in contrast, a slight increase in colour saturation, and a slight amount of sharpening. They have then been compressed to exactly the same level in Irfanview. The R1 image compresses to about 1 Mbyte, and the 350 image to 1.3 Mbyte, which given that the 350 image was cropped a bit smaller in height looks pretty close to the 10MP and 14MP ratio, suggesting the same amount of detail per pixel is being captured.
Examination of the images at maximum size confirms the general impression I'd already formed, that the 350 with this lens, at least in its good range, produces images with the extra amount of detail you'd expect from the extra pixels. The images are also a bit softer, which I guess is to be expected from a lens with 16 elements as opposed to the 12 of the R1, the price of a longer zoom range.

A companion shot to 'Bright Eyes'. This one is more or less the same, shot a little brighter and edited to have a less gritty feel, but the expression still makes it a pretty non-traditional galm shot.
I tend to lean to exposing things to the left of the histogram (underexposed). Just a tendency I have, most people tend to go to the right and blow things out. For these sorts of studio shots with a lot of pale skin and a white background (specifically a glossy shower) getting the exposure balanced is interesting to say the least, but I really do love the look of a nice, bright glam shot like this.
Shot with my D300 and 50 f/1.4, two SB-600 flashes triggered via CLS. Both with diffusers, one camera right and close, pointed down at the model and the second camera left and high, over my shoulder pointed a little higher.
Editing was done in Lightroom and Photoshop. Basics in Lightroom and then the B&W added as a layer and then removed from the areas I wanted to have colour.

Obey Giant is a street art campaign by artist and guerrilla marketer Shepard Fairey. The campaign originated with the André the Giant Has a Posse sticker that Fairey created in 1986 in Charleston, South Carolina. Distributed by the skater community, the stickers began showing up everywhere. In 1989, while a student at RISD (Rhode Island School of Design), Fairey released his manifesto and the Obey Giant campaign was born. The campaign, an "experiment in phenomenology" pushed primarily through stickers and prints, has a mission to attempts to stimulate curiosity and bring people to question both the campaign and their relationship with their surroundings. Because people are not used to seeing advertisements or propaganda for which the motive is not obvious, frequent and novel encounters with Obey propaganda provoke thought and possible frustration, nevertheless revitalizing the viewer's perception and attention to detail. Over time the artwork has been reused in a number of ways, most famously in with his "Hope" campaign poster for Barack Obama in the 2008 United States Presidential election.
Wynwood Walls, located on a six-building complex along NW 2nd Avenue between NW 25th and NW 26th Streets, was opened by Tony Goldman and Goldman Properties in 2009 to bring together the world's greatest artists working in the graffiti and street art. In 2010, Tony added the Wynwood Doors, 176-feet of roll-up storefront gates. And in 2011, murals outside the complex have been commissioned for Outside the Walls.

Villa Tugendhat is a historical building in the wealthy neighbourhood of Černá Pole in Brno, Czech Republic. It is one of the pioneering prototypes of modern architecture in Europe, and was designed by the German architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Built of reinforced concrete between 1928–1930 for Fritz Tugendhat and his wife Greta, the villa soon became an icon of modernism.
THE HOUSING PHILOSOPHY
CAN THE TUGENDHAT VILLA BE LIVED IN?
This provocative question was voiced by the art historian Justus Bier. This was a reaction to an article on the new structure of the Brno Villa in the magazine 'Die Form' which was published in the year 1931 by the publisher himself Walter Riezler. The commissioners themselves entered into the polemic on the theme as to whether “the Tugendhat Villa can be lived in” with their reactions supplemented with a text by the architect Ludwig Hilberseimer. The Tugendhats rejected the view that the monumental, impassioned living space would only allow for a kind of ceremonial or showpiece housing, and in contrast expressed their complete satisfaction with its variable character. The unforced domestic calm also radiates from the family photographs by Fritz Tugendhat who was a photo enthusiast and amateur filmmaker.
From the philosophical perspective the Tugendhat Villa particularly reflects the influence of the German Catholic Modern movement. The American art historian Barry Bergdoll as well as the Czech art historian Rostislav Švácha have pointed out in this connection the ideas of the philosopher Romano Guardini, one of the most significant figures of German Christian Personalism. Mies had met with Guardini and his ideas had additionally influenced Grete Tugendhat. “Large spaces provide freedom. Space has a completely special calm in its rhythm which cannot be provided by a closed room.” The snaps by Fritz Tugendhat are genuine personal interpretation of space in contrast with the 'official' photographs of the architecture. “When I allow these spaces and everything which is inside them to influence me as whole, I clearly feel: what beauty is, what is truth.” The Tugendhats apparently knew Guardini’s views or at least discussed them with Mies. Guardini’s works, which came about at the same time as the design of the Villa, state that a well-built internal space has levels which lead into depths. This is precisely the manner in which one enters downward into the space of Tugendhat Villa the intimate character of which is protected by the stern street section of the house.
Art historical theories and interpretations of not only Tugendhat Villa but Mies’ work in general will continue to stimulate generations of art historians and architecture theoreticians. Up until now almost all of them have agreed that the essence of the Brno realization was the arrangement of the main living space and its connection up with the external outdoors. One of the starting points was undoubtedly the ideas of F. L. Wright and his “open plan” which at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries removed the four walls demarcating the rooms allowing for the emergence of a continual space with a connection to the exterior of the structure. Mies van der Rohe himself did not write anything about the Brno Villa, but he did discuss the conception in detail with his educated clients.
This country’s leading, and by coincidence also from Brno, art historians view “the loose” and “the open” space of the house as analogical to the architecture of the Middle Ages and the Baroque. Václav Richter compared Mies’ space conception with Santini’s radical Baroque space in the pilgrimage church on Zelená hora near Žďár nad Sázavou. Richter’s student Zdeněk Kudělka has made reference to the Neo-Gothic aspects of this space which is enhanced by a cross-like connected profile of steel supporting columns and the mirror-like gloss of its chrome cladding. These interpretations coincide with Richter’s remarkable periodization of the history of “the open” architectural space which was in his view only fulfilled in the Gothic, in the radical Baroque and in the skeleton architecture of the 20th century.
Mies’ student Philip Johnson and after him the Swiss architecture historian Sigfried Giedion have interpreted the interior of the Brno Villa as “a flowing” space whose “flow” is only gently channelled by the lines of the onyx and the Macassar inner wall in harmony with the regular rhythm of the supporting columns and the carefully placed furniture.
The period Czechoslovak specialised journals ostentatiously ignored Mies' realization in Brno. The only positive evaluation of the building in the domestic press came from the exclusive society magazine Měsíc (Month) which presented the Villa as one of the crowning expressions of contemporary aesthetic and technical maturity. The negative attitude by Czech specialised circles would thus seem to foreshadow the painful future of both the Villa and its inhabitants.
