Pirate of the Strait
October 4th, 2007
The last two weeks of September were dedicated to vacation. Oh, how quickly it passed. The first week we spent with my parents and made it out to the Olympic Peninsula for a few days. It was a perfect opportunity to get some shots of my dolls at the beach. These were taken on the Dungeness Spit on the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
Dominik was excited to finally have somewhere to wear his new pirate costume. Well, let me clarify that. He's been wearing it around the house for awhile now, but he's glad to have somewhere to wear it that makes a little more sense.
Dom: *comes up behind me as I work on this entry. A cup of coffee is in his hands* Beaches and pirates go together like…well, like something that goes together…really well.
Ethyn: *cringes* I think that eyepatch may be tied too tightly. It's constricting your brain.
Dom: *arches his eyebrow and takes another pull on his coffee* That's what you get when you ask me to be eloquent so early in the morning.
Ethyn: It's ten o'clock!
Dom: I rest my case.
Me: Okay, guys. Go away. You're giving me a headache.
This one is actually my desktop wallpaper right now.
I love how the light and shadows play across his muscles.

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! (But then again, with Dom how could it be anything but? 😀 ) May I say that not only he, but all the photos look amazing? Because they do.
I am writing this at my cousin's house and he (a HUGE BJD fan) is currently squeeing behind me at the pics – and at Dom. He has a number of dolls now (with another boy on order at the moment) and he thinks your work with Dom and Ethyn is fantastic. I also have begged a doll out of my parents so now all I have to do is choose (yay! I'm really excited about that!) but there are so many! But your pictures are making me more interested in BJDs than ever. 😀
That necklace you made for Dom is really pretty, BTW. You seem to have a knack for making pretty jewellery for your guys. Great work!

Ok, so you know how weirded out I was to begin with…now I actually don't even see them the same way anymore. It took some time, but now I love them. And Dom is quite the sexy beast..isn't he? A rebel that smokes AND is a pirate. He's so cute…I love his nose. At first it seemed sort of awkward..but now I just love it. I guess it just takes some getting used to. OH! and I LURVE the necklace. It's sooo pretty. It caught my eye immediately and I swear I though "Man that's nice" And then I thought" I would love to have one JUST like it." You should be proud of your work, it's amazing. You should start to make things for BJD's!!

Because you asked: my cousin has four dolls, with a fifth on order, but he went away yesterday (he is going up to Whitby for some sort of Gothic outing) and won't be back until 2 weeks' time. He took his first and favourite doll (called Aaron, I believe) with him; I know he in particular was very expensive, mainly because my cousin bought him from a Korean company quite a while before they were popular in the US and Europe. Now if only I could remember where the rest are all from…hmmm…
I have spent most of the day searching for a doll that I like. There are some ok-ish girl ones but my raging young woman's body (heh heh heh) is leaning towards a male. It will make up most of my Christmas present from my parents so I'm trying to choose now so that there is plenty of time to get an order sorted out. My dad's eyes bulged when he saw the prices of some of them, but I had to explain that most of the prices are shown in either Yen or Dollars and that made him breath a sigh of relief! The deal is that I'll get a doll, wig and a few outfits for him (or possibly her) for Christmas. I can't get an overly-realistic doll either because my sister is terrified of anything lifelike that's not actually alive. I've told a few friends over the internet – but they all think they're creepy! So I've told them to wait until I get one, and see if it will change their minds. Ah! Decisions, decisions!
Sorry if all that was more than you needed to know…heh heh heh… I've bored my whole family to tears today talking about BJDs. 😀
