Brandee was my second character to get tagged by one of my friends. So, I compiled a "10 Facts about Brandee" list.

It gave me a great excuse to take some pictures of her since she's now fixed (when she first arrived, her ankles were broken). And then, next week, she's also heading off to get a new face-up so I wanted a chance to chronicle her current look. Also, I got to photograph her in some pretty lingerie that my sister bought my dolls for my birthday.

Anyway, I took these pictures with the thought in mind that they were taken by Tahlvin, Brandee's husband. I guess you could say these are boudior pictures. Um…but then how did they end up on the internet? Uh, oh. Tahlvin has some 'slpainin' to do.

I don't want to ruin her gorgeous face-up, but I've also been contemplating putting the "x" back on her face that I had on her in these pictures. What do you think?

Does she look like a little like Helena Bonham Carter to anyone else in these pictures? Or is it just me. It must be the curly hair.

My new doll Brandee, who I've been wanting for a long time, arrived on Monday, and the kitties "helped" me open the box.

By the way, this is Sora—my mischievous girl. You can call her "Silly" if you want.

I had forgotten that Limhwa dolls arrived wrapped as presents. (I had a Limhwa Mano for a very short time, and he arrived that way too. I thought it was a nice touch.) I bought this doll second-hand but the previous owner re-wrapped her.

This is Tristan, or "Mister" or "Boy", really whatever you feel like calling him is fine. He's pretty laid back.

However, he did want me to open the box so that he could lay in the lid. He's a box-addict.

Tristan and Sora really, really wanted the silver paper the Limhwa box was wrapped in (it also had tape on it still; for some reason, they love chewing on tape). I think they hoped I would become distracted with the doll and let them bite the paper.

I kept shooing them away, but Sora managed to grab the whole sheet of paper at one time and took off trotting down the hall toward the bedroom, the length of paper dragging behind her. I was laughing too hard to get a picture of it, but it was very cute (even if she was being very bad).

Sora: "Bird!"

Tristan: "Bird!"

After the cats got distracted by birds, I was able to finish opening my new doll. Ah, the wrapped mummy phase. This part always makes me nervous. What if there is some damage hiding beneath the bubble wrap?

Meet my new Limhwa Elly. She is going to be the shell for one of my characters—Brandee—who is the wife of Tahlvin and mother of Emily.

Brandee is supposed to be a brunette with brown eyes, but she looks so gorgeous here it makes me wish she were blonde. Also, the Limhwa body is so sexy. I love her hands too; they are so graceful and have the loveliest long nails.

Unfortunately, I haven't had the chance to enjoy her yet, because…yes, there was some damage hiding beneath the bubble wrap:

Sadness!

My best guess is she must have gotten damaged in shipping. She was strung really tightly and both ankles cracked.

I contacted someone on DoA and she said she could repair the cracks. I'll still be able see hairline cracks after the repair, but at least my doll will be structurally sound.

So, Brandee has arrived, but I haven't been able to play with her yet. *sad sigh*

I'm still in an inspiration drought, but this past weekend I forced myself to take pictures of both Katriss and Emily (whose photos will be posted in the next couple of days) since they have been home for about a month now. Their new face-ups are too gorgeous to keep to myself.

Oh, and I just gotta say, if ever a doll was made to wear a corset it would be the Soom Super Gem girls. Good thing too because Katriss has about four corsets.
