You Remind Me of the Babe…

August 4th, 2007

These are my favorite pictures of him so far. He really seems quite haughty and like he has the capacity to be cruel. I think he'll be an excellent successor to David Bowie. Not that I'm biased, of course. 😉

I originally took these pictures because the woman from whom I bought the coat (Apple) asked me to takes some pictures of my Hound wearing it. She doesn't have any dolls in the same size range of the Hound (70cm) to model it in her sales thread at Den of Angels. I said sure. As soon as I got Ethyn dressed in the coat and posed in front of the camera, I was immediately reminded of Jareth in Labyrinth. It's funny because he looks nothing like him (Jareth as played by David Bowie). Especially given the fact that he has black hair, he's not wearing make-up, and he has brown eyes. Hmm… Come to think of it, he shouldn't remind me of Jareth at all! And yet he embodies the essence of the character somehow. One of those interesting things about BJDs, I guess.

    Boy is this site cool. You are so clever.

    Kara said: Thanks, Mom! I'm glad your home. Now rest up so you'll be all set to go when you come visit. 🙂

    Haha…when I saw "Mom" I didn't realize it was your real mom. No fair getting people to plant complimentary comments on your site. 😉

    Not being into BDJs, it's so weird for me to look at the joint point in their chests. I know it's there so they can bend but it's so eerie looking compared to their faces which have a humanistic quality to them.

    Kara said: haha! Well, I paid you to pad the comments too. 😉 It's funny, I barely notice his joints any more. Or if I do, I find them beautiful as, to me, they are an indicator of him being a poseable piece of art. On the other hand, I still think he looks odd in shorts—his knee joint looks odd to me when it's bent.

    Egats! I just had an epiphany! I was admiring Ethyn's hair and I realize I want his haircut!You see, I've been wanting to cut my hair and well – why not? I love it when a plan comes together. . .if only it can look as good on him on me.

    Kara said: Are you going to print out his picture and take it to the hair salon?
    Lani: "I want my hair to look like his."
    Cosmetologist: "…but he's a doll."
    L: "Your point?"
    C: "…"

    When I look at all those shots, these particular lyrics come to my mind immediately. The last pic especially:

    "Your eyes can be so cruel…
    …Just as I can be so cruel"

    He looks incredible. He'd be a great Goblin King! 😀

    Kara said: Those lyrics are perfect, Alimah! I so love that movie. It's been at the root of many fantasies. 😉

    I haven't seen it in years, but I always remember it being really amazing. I think it's a film that will always stand the test of time. It's definitely a classic.

    I think Ethyn perfectly inspires that inner conflict of wanting to get close to him, but being frightened of him… all at once.

    Maaan… Yer really makin' me want a BJD. XD

    Kara said: *puts on enabler hat* You should totally get a BJD! haha They are quite addictive and a fun hobby.

    I agree with you about Labyrinth being a classic. It's just one of those movies that I come back to every so often to renew my sense of wonder. I also love the underlying tragedy and romance of it all. It has so many layers to it and I think you take something different away from it depending on what age you are.

    😀 So awesome! I want one of those… -sticks out tongue in envy-

    I just finished watching Voyage of the Unicorn. It was amazing! And now I know where The Sims 2 got the names Oberon and Tatiana or whatever. XD I suggest you watch it!

    Kara said: heehee 😛 I had never heard of Voyage of the Unicorn. Thanks for the recommendation, Ju. I'll have to put it on my list at Blockbuster.
