43102 'The Journey Shrinker' hammers through the Northamptonshire countryside at Isham working 1B28, the 07.40 Leeds to St Pancras International. Sat 24.04.2021.
Jamie was teasing me on how I keep shrinking. Sandra piped in that I'm even tinier than her.
Yes. I have lost lots of weight. But I'm actually starting to be able to swallow more larger and harder foods. So......
Hopefully that will change a little.
Still. I must admit. I am really starting to enjoy this new version of me.
Because...... I finally really feel like a real girl. And I see her in the mirror every morning without make-up.
The little once boy has finally grown up. And you know what. It's not that confusing anymore. In fact..... It seems very natural.

Emma decided to shrink herself for work today to show her work colleagues to see how cute she is and to recommend to buy Mr Shrinker's shrinking products.
Side.
One day, in a random planet, Aigara met a group of children and was invited to go with them to a school trip to a chemical plant. During the trip, a chance to see through a very powerful microscope was given, and Shrinker took it to reveal itself to the girl.
After a bunch of children asking about a waving being in the image, Aigara saw the Doll and realized its true nature thanks to her father's notes. She asked help from the laboratory to restore her back to its normal size, but obviously, the project wasn't even considered until Aigara managed to show them how quick was the learning curve of her species and convinced the high positions of having all the rights of the results.
Starring Harry Carey, Edwina Booth, Duncan Renaldo, Mutia Omoolu, Olive Golden. Directed by W.S. Van Dyke.
This production was an amazing undertaking in 1931. American filmmaking with sound and location shooting was unheard of and with the country still feeling the effects of the depression also quite a gamble. This is a fascinating tale of a real life adventure with a dose of Hollywood shenanigans thrown in.
The movie tells of the adventures of real-life trader and adventurer Alfred Aloysius "Trader" Horn on safari in Africa. The fictional part includes the discovery of a white blonde jungle queen, the lost daughter of a missionary, played by Miss Booth. The realistic part includes a scene in which Carey as Horn swings on a vine across a river filled with genuine crocodiles, one of which comes very close to taking his leg off.
The following review is by an anonymous writer.......I note a number of misconceptions about this great old flick, or maybe some viewers are missing a few things. Sure, Harry Carey refers to some of the tribes-people herein as savages. But, look, on a daily basis they will kill you, cook you, shrink your head, and eat what's left. If that isn't savage, I'd like to know what is. The tribes-people pictured here aren't the Dead End Kids waiting for a weekly visit from their case worker. Yes, Carey refers to his man Friday as a black so-and-so, but the so-and-so comes off looking highly noble in the script, and Carey pays him due tribute. As for Carey playing the part of a hardened Congo guide, he does a mighty fine job of rendering a realistic character, just as would John Wayne, Charleton Heston, or Clint Eastwood. In the War on Poverty days I could see some misguided soul casting Anthony Perkins in the role, but it seems to me Mr. Carey does a superb job. Another reviewer remarked Carey falls in love with the rescued captive; I disagree. Carey had pledged to protect her and return her to civilization. One person from whom he tries to protect her is the naive, erotically smitten Duncan Renaldo ("Peru"), whose character is the opposite of Trader Horn's. Trader Horn knows what's out there and what to watch for; Peru is a total newbie whose missteps could get everyone killed and cooked, including himself. I think this film's characters, story, and production handily outdo any jungle flick made since then. Kinda scary, too. So scary, in fact, and so real, I wouldn't recommend it for the kiddies. Revisionist historians stay clear; in 1931, this is really what Darkest Africa was like.
Summary:
Deep in the heart of Africa, famous hunter, explorer Aloysius Horn, known as Trader Horn due to his bartering skills, tells Peru, the son of his best friend, that he was the first white man to set eyes on the river on which they are sailing. When their boat approaches a small African village that is bustling with activity, the natives welcome the visitors, and Trader asks to be taken to the chief. Though Trader warns Peru of the savage nature of the natives, Peru is nevertheless shocked when he sees a human skeleton displayed on a public cross. The white men's visit is soon interrupted by the ominous sound of a distant drum beat, known as "ju-ju," which the Africans, as well as Trader, know signals the impending attack of the brutal Masai warriors. Trader explains to Peru that when the Masai and the Kukua tribes get together, "the devil is certainly involved," and suggests that they move on. That night, the men, with their African guide, Renchero, set up camp, but they are awakened by the unexpected arrival of the white missionary woman, Edith Trent. Edith, a friend of Trader, whom Trader calls the bravest woman in all of Africa, informs him that she intends to go above the Opanga Falls and into Isorgi country in order to find her missing daughter Nina, who is believed to be living among the Isorgi. Trader warns Edith of the dangers of traveling during ju-ju and offers to accompany her, but she refuses, claiming that the presence of a male with guns will only startle the warriors into violence. Edith consents, however, to allow Trader and his companions to follow her at a distance, on the condition that he continue her search if something should happen to her. Not long after the expedition begins, Trader and Peru discover Edith's body by the river. They proceed to bury it under rocks and mark it for witch doctors, who will later dig it up and make charms out of it. As they promised Edith, Trader and Peru take up her search for Nina, and on the trail find themselves in the company of giraffes, leopards, ostriches, warthogs, zebras and other creatures. After Trader and Peru finally locate Nina, they soon realize that she is the sadistic white goddess of the village in which she lives, and that she plans to sacrifice her new visitors by tying them to crosses and burning them. At the last minute, though, Nina has a change of heart, orders their release, and plans an escape with them from the bushmen, who have turned on her. The goddess escorts the men across the lake, and they brave the perils in their path, including a lion attack. During the course of their journey, Peru and Nina fall in love, and when they kiss, Trader insists that he separate from them for the remainder of the trip. The sound of the enemy tribe's approach sends them scattering, Peru with Nina, and Trader with Renchero. The next morning, Trader discovers that Renchero has sacrificed his life in order to protect him and mourns the loss of his friend. Meanwhile, Peru and Nina are shown to safety by a tribe of pygmies, and they are eventually reunited with Trader. Peru tells Trader that he is taking Nina back to civilization to educate her, and as they sail off, Trader sees an image of Renchero in the clouds on the horizon.
The following onscreen acknowledgment appears in the film's titles: "M-G-M acknowledges Governors and governmental officials of the Territory of Tanganyika, the Protectorate of Uganda, the Colony of Kenya, the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, [and] the Belgian Congo, whose courtesy and cooperation made this picture possible...and the director offers his thanks for the courageous and efficient services of the White Hunters, Maj. W. V. D. Dickinson, A. S. Waller, Esq., J. H. Barnes, Esq., [and] H. R. Stanton, Esq., who were chiefly responsible for the expedition's ability to traverse 14,000 miles of African velt and jungle."
According to a FD news item, following its publication, Trader Horn became one of the best-selling books of its time. The film was the first non-documentary film to be shot almost entirely on location in Africa. A Jan 1930 AC article notes that the film was nearly half completed when the studio informed the crew in Africa that Hollywood was sending a sound crew to meet them. They were told that "the world was demanding its pictures all-talking." According to an Apr 1931 Photo article, M-G-M secretly sent a second unit to Tecate, Mexico, away from American laws that secured the ethical treatment of animals, to film scenes of animals fighting with each other, which they were unable to capture on film in Africa. In Mexico, lions were reportedly starved for several days in order to ensure immediate and particularly vicious attacks on hyenas, monkeys and deer.
Modern sources relate the following information about the film: Tim McCoy was originally chosen to play the title role; Thelma Todd was tested for the part of "Nina" and M-G-M production head Irving Thalberg reportedly considered Jeanette MacDonald for the part. During the filming of a scene in which white hunter Major W. V. D. Dickinson and director W. S. Van Dyke doubled for the leading men, a charging rhino nearly killed Dickinson, who incorrectly thought that the director was in distress and jumped into the rhino's path to protect him. During production, Van Dyke and many of his crew contracted malaria and were treated with quinine. Despite the British authorities' insistence that no one travel to the Murchison Falls, a known sleeping-sickness area, the director took his crew there for filming. The production was marred by at least two fatal disasters. In the first instance, a native crew member fell into a river and was eaten by a crocodile; in the other incident, which was captured on film, a native boy was struck by a charging rhino. Misfortunes of lesser consequence on the African location included flash floods, sunstroke, swarming locusts and tsetse-fly and ant attacks. Despite months of sound filming, almost all of the dialogue sequences in the film were re-shot on M-G-M's Culver City backlot after the troupe returned from Africa because of the poor quality of the location footage. As the script called for speaking scenes involving African natives Mutia Omoolu and Riano Tindama, they were brought back to Hollywood for additional shooting. With all the production activity in Culver City, rumors began circulating in Hollywood that the entire production was filmed on the M-G-M lot and that the African expedition did not take place. For this reason, the studio decided to scrap the backlot footage of Marjorie Rambeau, who had replaced Olive Golden as "Edith Trent." Modern sources add the following credits: Red Golden, Asst dir ; Josephine Chippo, Script clerk ; John McClain, Press agent and Miss Gordon, Hairdresser . Although modern sources indicate that the film was originally released with a short introduction in which director Cecil B. DeMille discusses the film's authenticity with author Alfred Aloysius Horn, and that the three-minute introduction was deleted from the negative in 1936, when the picture was re-issued, neither the viewed print nor the cutting continuity contain the introduction. The final production cost was pegged at $3,000,000.
Leading actor Harry Carey was married to actress Olive Golden. According to modern sources, following publicized rumors of an affair between stars Duncan Renaldo and Edwina Booth (formerly Josephine Woodruff) during production, Renaldo's wife, Suzette, filed for divorce and later filed a $50,000 lawsuit against Booth for "alienation of affection." On 17 Jan 1931, Duncan Renaldo was arrested on charges that he entered the United States illegally and was later sentenced to two years in federal prison. After serving less than two years, Renaldo received a pardon from President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1936, after which he left the country, re-entered legally and became a U. S. citizen. Booth contracted a rare tropical disease while filming in Africa that affected her nervous system and reportedly forced her to remain confined to a darkened room for the better part of six years.
Trader Horn was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Picture of the 1930-31 season, and director W. S. Van Dyke was awarded the Red Cross Medal by the Japanese government for his outstanding achievement in direction.

So I’ve been doing a bit of head shrinking lately. I really like this Hunger Games Peeta sculpt but I want him on a shorter body. So I’m trying to get him to work with this EAH body and I thought head shrinking him would solve the bobble headed issue but he still looks off somehow. His head is rock hard si I guess he’s shrunk down as much as he could.
And I bought another skateboarding MTM a few days ago to upgrade my Fashionista Style so Sweet head and I figured I should headshrink one of them to make it collector sized. It’s still soft so I’m hoping it shrinks down further.
That led to some cropping and playing about in Photoshop, and voila, one shot turns into a little series.
I ended up acetone shrinking Moana’s head to make her proportionally suited to her movie look. It’s a subtle change but I like it more.
Meet one of my customer's Emma she was one my customer's who gave me feedback about using my shrinking products that helped change her everyday life. Emma said "I can shrink myself to only 5 inches tall in a few seconds with no side effects beside the tingly feeling afterwards which feels fun. Afterwards I can press a button and return to my normal size when finished for another time!"
Edited NASA/ESA/Mars Express image of Jezero Crater with various landing ellipses superimposed. As technology and techniques improved, landing ellipses have shrunk a great deal.

Original caption: The white circle near the center of this image of Mars represents the location where NASA’s Perseverance rover is expected to land on Feb. 18, 2021.
See the clean version (no text annotations).
The landing ellipse, measuring 4.8 miles by 4.1 miles (7.7 kilometers by 6.6 kilometers), places the rover at the site of an ancient river delta which could harbor signs of fossilized microbial life. The fan-like shape of the delta is visible in this image, as is the crater rim. The crater was once filled with a lake several hundred feet deep.
Jezero Crater sits within the Isidis Planitia region of Mars, where an ancient asteroid or comet impact left behind a large basin some 750 miles (1200 kilometers) across. This event forever changed the rocks in and around the basin. A later, smaller impact created Jezero Crater within the Isidis impact basin. There is evidence of ancient river flow into Jezero, forming a lake that has long since been dry. Scientists believe that these events likely created environments friendly to life.

I noticed quite a few joggers today. This was by far the cutest runner of the bunch, and she was planning to continue down to Lake Rudan for a bit of swimming and sunbathing. Her name is Marta. She is a university student, at least for a few more weeks. Come July, she can call herself a psychologist. Marta is a dog lover. She stays fit by working out at the gym.

If anyone is wondering about my My Scene boy head, he finally grew rock hard as well so I can safely say he’s finished in shrinking as well. There was a definite drastic difference than my other attempt at shrinking the MS head in polish remover especially in the dome of his scalp. Though comparatively his jaw is similar in size to his original size though the overal face shape had changed.
He’s roughly the same size as a Ken head and much smaller than my Disney Store Kristoff head despite the face that Kristoff has a smaller head than an original MS head.
His neck had already been reamed out by Andrea to fit a Fashionista body before soaking in acetone and surprisingly his head still fits on the body despite drastically shrinking in size.
I plan to give him sculpted hair and a face up to look similar to a Japanese vintage GI Joe so wish me luck.

Las setas se han relacionado, a lo largo de la historia, con personajes mitológicos de las culturas tanto europeas, prehispánicas o asiáticas. Han inspirado relatos fantásticos como el de “Alicia en el País de las Maravillas”. En uno de los episodios, Alicia encontró sentada encima de la seta gigante a una oruga azul. Ambos personajes entablan una discusión que les hace volver al inicio de la misma en varias ocasiones. La oruga se retira ofendida y le indica a la niña que si prueba la seta afectaría a su estatura, según el lado del hongo que probara. De este modo, ante la duda, Alicia cortó dos pedazos opuestos que, al probarlos surtieron efecto: uno hacía que encogiera, y el otro que estirara su figura …

Pour le premier dimanche du lieu unique, aux champs libres à Rennes, Lawrence Malstaf, artiste visuel de renommée internationale, a présenté Shrink. À la fois performance physique et fascinante sculpture vivante, Shrink est une installation qui interpelle.
