Someone like you - The Daydreamer

Phineas is back! Huzzah! Navci matched his skin tone to Souldoll's NS so that he would look good on his Soulkid body and then she gave him a face-up. He looks spectacular, of course.

He's still missing his arms and his headback, so taking these pictures was sort of hard. He kept trying to keel over and none of the wigs would fit right. I like the idea of dreads on him a lot but I'm not happy with this wig. 

With a random green fur wig. I couldn't style it any better as it kept falling off. Still, fur looks good on most boys, no matter what.

A beautiful mohair wig that fades from pink to orange to blonde. It doesn't fit him at all and I had to hold it over his head. The wig itself is too girly but I'm really leaning towards making him a ginger, though. I always wanted a ginger doll and was pretty disappointed when none of them turned out to be one.

And just for the fun of it:

  

I love his grumpiness and how moody and hurt he looks. But trust me, he's not someone you would want to cross...

Mini Dollmeet

I've been in the hobby since December 2009 but I only went to my first dollmeet yesterday. There were only 4 of us but that meant that we had much more time to get top know and like each other. Suffice it to say, it won't be the last time we meet.

The weather was awful but we decided to venture outside with the tinies:

Setting them up in the wind was hard work.

All the tinies! I knew that everyone was going to bring their Soom dolls, so Siltár, my Keny was the one chosen to go along. Taco belongs to Aurelius; Trachy, Yrie and Aloa belong to Sakura-Streifchen and Chinatsu.

Those two bonded at the last minute. While Taco originally belonged to Chinatsu and Sakura-Streifchen, he stayed behind with Aurelius.

Even Silt managed to make friends!

The two incredible pretty girls. Birdie and pony - I couldn't get enough of these two.

Gorgeous custom blushing. Isn't she amazing?

My camera is definately not meant for inside pictures with fading daylight and limited artificial light. Hardly any of the pictures I took turned out at all. 

Aurelius' Chalco-Chrom hybrid with Chinatsu and Sakura-Streifchen's DoD Delphine, Soom Yrie and Aloa.

Shaky close-up of Chalco. He isn't going to keep the blue eyes, but still - wow!

The MSDs were hanging out together. Aurelius' Nor twins sitting between Santana and Yanír.

Feetsies!!

Tell me everything is gonna be alright

When Ava was little, her mother used to walk up and down the hallway with her baby brother trying to sing him to sleep.

People smile and tell me I'm the lucky one, and we've just begun,
Think I'm gonna have a son.
Even when he was older she sat down on the edge of Micah’s bed every night and sang to him.

He will be like he and me, as free as a dove, conceived in love,
Sun is gonna shine above.
One evening when Ava was nine, she was in the bathroom brushing her teeth, listening through the closed door. Her mother’s voice sounded shaky.

And even though we ain't got money, I'm so in love with ya honey,
And everything will bring a chain of love.
For once Micah didn’t ask for a repeat. He hadn’t spoken all day. When her mother came out of his room there were tears shining in her eyes. That night she disappeared.

And in the morning when I rise, you bring a tear of joy to my eyes,
And tell me everything is gonna be alright.

(Strictly speaking this isn't a real drabble as it contains more than 100 words, but subtract the lyrics and there you go. "Danny's Song" was written by Kenny Loggins and Jim Messina who first performed it. Later it was covered by Anne Murray and lots of other talented people.)
