Joke of the Day

 When I was searching for ideas involving dolls and makeup for yesterday’s picture, I came across this joke. It was too good not to use! The Middie is Nellie Nibbles and the Neo is Cousin Olivia.

Beauty

“Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself.”  —Coco Chanel

Spring Hope freshens up at her vanity (from Target for Our Generation dolls. It’s oversized for Blythe, but works fine if you play around with camera angles.)

Be Happy

Enjoy the simple things in life.

This is Fani Flamingo posing for the weekly challenge theme in the Facebook group Blythe Pure and Simple. I turned on a fan so her hair would look like it was being blown by the wind.

Happy 4th!

Happy Independence Day, America!

King

 And on a less serious note…

Elfrida: “I crown you king of the chikens.”

Chiken: “Bok!”

(I made this for the group Blythe and her Wubba Chiken on Facebook.)

Kindness

 Kindness is never wasted.

This is Lady Panacea in her stock outfit and her natural environment.

Lady Panacea

Let your search for a panacea begin and end with love.

Lady Panacea finally arrived here a few days ago, much to my delight! She is all-around gorgeous, with a wonderful ethereal vibe. Her amazing dark green hair did require some attention; it wasn’t beautiful right out of the box; but one hair spa and lots of brushing later, it is looking very nice.

I love her accessories: her headpiece, earrings, shoes, and leaf-shaped pull charm are all gold, as is her stand. Her cape is BIG and beautifully embroidered especially on the back of the hood. And her dress? So lovely in every way, with little sewn-on flowers on the sheer overlay. She’s a winner!
