This was one of my first lines of Monster High dolls. I got all three of these ladies on the same day in 2013, just a few weeks into starting my collection. I unexpectedly happened upon this wave of Dead Tired dolls after we popped in at a Family Dollar store, on the way home from an antique shop. I had been wanting this Clawdeen since I saw pictures of her online, while doing research. But at the time, I don't know that I had encountered any of these ladies in person yet. What I loved about this Clawdeen was her boyish, sporty look. Most Clawdeen dolls are more glamorous, classic beauties. While I always appreciate Clawdeen when she styled in a more feminine way, this Dead Tired gal stood out. Plus, I loved her mostly bare face and bangs! Her pajamas were also some of my favorites produced ever. What makes this Clawdeen even more special is the fact that she was the very first one in my collection. I did acquire other Clawdeen dolls not long after, but this lady was the original one!
Technically the Family Dollar was running a sale on the day I found the Dead Tired dolls. It was a buy one get one half off sale...but the dolls were a little marked up at around $15 each (when at some places like Wal-Mart, they would have been more like $12). I used this discount as an excuse to get Abbey too. She had quickly become one of my favorite characters, and I loved her snowflake themed ensemble. But something tugged at my heart strings as we prepared to go to the register to check out. I didn't have the will to leave Draculaura behind. Just like what happened with my "Swim Class" dolls, this Dead Tired Draculaura found herself at the register after a quick momentary decision. Over the years, I've grown to be just as fond of Miss Draculaura. She might have the most simple, plain design of these three dolls, but I love her anyways. Plus, these blunt bangs conceal a stunning facial screening! With her bangs in her face, she reminds me fondly of Bratz Jade. Although these days I would have used more self restraint and only purchased Clawdeen, I have no regrets about purchasing this entire set. They have become a staple in my dolly family, and all three are dear to me!

計畫開始！這張照片是這個計畫的第一張，也是我在2012年的第一張,期許自己在之後的每一天都要上傳一張當天的照片，記錄25歲的每一天也紀錄下也許是世界末日的2012年！
P.S.希望不會有中斷這種事情發生！

Take a look large and dark.
My photographic (and Flickr) mojo seem to have departed recently - I think it happens to everyone from time to time - which has, in turn, lead to a feeling of despondency at APS Towers... hence the lack of upload and lack of comments, for which I apologies - to my Flickr contacts, please don't think I've turned into a non-commenting-type!
However I was recently (re)insipired by a trip to the Tate Moden, courtesy of Mrs APS which created That Elusive... Spark, as Frank N Furter would say.
One of my favourite sayings is "Start Easy" so, with that in mind, I'm starting off on the rebuild-my-mojo journey in that mind... hence the shot above which appeals to me for many reasons, specifically the style, detail around the rivets and the subject (nothing like a bit of engineering to get things going).
More soon, I hope.
Enjoy
أنا ماقلت لدنيتي ليه يوم قفت
ولارجيت حظي يوم أقداري شحيحه
بس يوم عينك عن طريقي غفت
تاية في دروب العشق ونفسي جريحه
ليتك شمس ومن حياتي طفت
ليتك مجرد أشاعه ورددوها فضيحه
ليتك أنهار ومن حياتي جفـت
ليتك عبرهـ من عيني على خدي طريحه
ألا ياليتك بسمه وعن حياتي تخفت
ألا ياليتك كنتي وردهـ شذاها تفـيــحه
ليتك حمامه وبسماي تعالت ورفت
وكسرت كل غصون قلبي وراحت تستبيحه
ماكان هذا حالي يوم خلتني وقفت
وصارت هي والأقدار ضدي شحيحه

The day started early with de-icing and progressed with a runway closure, a flight check aircraft, helicopter training flights and military aircraft.... on top of a very low staffing day. One of the longest days I can remember in the recent past. Get to do it all over again in the morning! Woo Hoo! That third beer is going taste good tomorrow afternoon... since I won't even taste the first two :-D

Papantla Flyers.
Ancient Totonac ritual dedicated to the sun or the spring God, the purpose of which is the renewed fertility of the land. The main Priest climbs to the upper platform, where he iniciates the ritual by greeting the four cardinal points, starting with the east, birthplace of the sun.
The four birdmen then launch themselves off the platform into the air, arms wide, to commence their 13 respective turns around the pole and take together, their 52 rotations symbolize the prehispanic's most significant block of time.
