We had a wonderful doll meet in Port Jervis, NY yesterday! It was the renaissance faire meet. Of course, that meant my ladies spent the day at the beach! The renfaire stuff was awesome, though. There was even a 90s Hunchback of Notre Dame movie playset that turned out to be an amazing prop. My Yukino and Alna made it out for the first time in a while, and Eva enjoyed lounging in her beach chair. I don't believe I ever used this bikini before, too. I'm not 100% sure I have the top on her the right way, but it seemed wrong when I did have it on her what I believed the right way. Optimus Prime and Alf with his Alf Skateboard also made an appearance. Check out the outstanding henna, too! Group shots and highlights are below.

It's been too long since I've done dolly photos. I have a new computer setup now, so I figured I'd give it a go with dolly photo tasks. For the tech-minded: I'm using Linux Bazzite now. I always liked using Irfanview on Windows, but Irfanview isn't available on Linux. I used Lutris to run a portable Irfanview via WINE. It works decently enough. Navigating to my drive for photos within Irfanview is a little weird because Linux puts it on this very Linux Z drive. I also haven't been able to figure out how to make it so that I can double click on a photo and it opens in Irfanview via WINE. Next time, I may try a similar program available on Linux natively. I could also try GNU Image Manipulation Program, also known as GIMP. I have it on Linux already, but as they say, GIMPin' ain't easy. I've used it on Windows plenty, but it's not as nice to use when you just want to do minor work on photos.

We had a great doll meet in Port Jervis, New York yesterday! Many thanks to Flipside Doll Guild for hosting it! It was the pride meet, and my new (to me) Iplehouse SID Harace ladies enjoyed a day at the beach. My SID Eva also enjoyed some fun in the sun, but she left Leah at home. Sorry, Leah! I had to leave some room for the Transformers. They enjoyed the festivities, even getting washed at the Suds and Studs Car Wash! I stopped by the Pandora's Box toy store on the way to the meet and picked up the larger Bumblebee and the human in the exosuit, too. (He wasn't named.) Everyone had awesome setups, including a literal rainbow of dolls! Special thanks to everyone at the doll meet for helping me with my Harace dolls. I did some parts swapping between them, and I wanted to make sure the colors weren't going to be a problem. (I'm partially colorblind.) They're an awesome group, so check them out if you're in the area! Check out the full set of pics in this Flickr album here: https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjCXfSp

I've been in a bit of the dolly dumps lately since getting my bike. I got my Iplehouse Carved Heritage SID Harace a little bit before that. I haven't done much doll stuff since then, just a couple of doll meets. Lots of biking, not a lot of dolling. So, I saw another Iplehouse Carved Heritage SID Harace for sale and bought her. Funny how that works. My first Harace doll, my Maggie May, I haven't gone anywhere with her character yet. For these photos, even though this isn't the same doll, I'm considering her Maggie. What I might do is swap some parts between them and make the ultimate Maggie. I think my ultimate doll will be small bust, plain nails, and mobility joint. For now, I've got this complete other doll. I decided to do a quick beachy photoshoot. We're not having good Memorial Day weekend weather at all at the Jersey Shore right now, so here's Maggie Make Believe. I got some beachy props out and made the best of it. I also dressed her in the City of Masters Studio bikini. I may need to adjust the top some. I think the strap around the neck is sized for large bust EID. Then again, the bikini looks extra sexy this way. I utilized the rotation afforded by the mobility joints a little bit, and I'm happy with them. This instance of Maggie has the large bust. I like it, but I wanted her to have the small bust. The large bust is growing on me, though. I also got a new wig. It is too big, but I think I can make it work. I like it tremendously. For now, it's tacked on with a silicone earplug. I'll have to do resin color comparisons between my Haraces at a doll meet or with a friend before I make any parts swaps. I'm partially colorblind. However it goes, I'm not sure what I'm going to do with a second Harace. I might make her a whole new character. Maybe Maggie and my other Harace will become girlfriends. I'll see how it goes.

I found an Iplehouse SID Carved Heritage Harace for sale. I had actually seen her on offer last year, but I decided to pass on her even though I was tempted. I figured she sold, but I saw her up for sale again last month. I decided to get her. I love the Harace sculpt. I've admired BJD knitter Olga Borontova's Harace, Margo, for years. I'm so smitten by Margo! I am now being smitten by my own Harace. I decided to name her Maggie May as a tribute to the Rod Stewart song. Maggie has the older SID body, but she's different from my SID Eva. Maggie has the standard thigh. I like the smoothness of it, but I really like to be able to swivel Eva's legs which I can't really do with Maggie. Pros and cons. Also, Maggie has what Iplehouse calls the small bust. I don't know about that. It seems more medium sized to me, but that's the smallest that was offered with that body, with no actual medium option in the middle. I'll have to get my large bust SID Eva alongside Maggie sometime. In any case, I like that I'll have more options for clothes. Eva overstuffs some clothes. I picked up a wig for her recently, too. It's hard to get the part positioned just right, but I'll get the hang of it. Gluing one of the magnets will help, too. The frigid temperature probably contributed to it dislodging. I took these photos as an idea of Maggie returning to her hotel room after enjoying the heated pool at the hotel. Fancy! Then she changed into her sweater (of course it's from Olga!) and read the rest of the night. I like some of the photos, not so much the others, but I'm still getting used to photographing Maggie. Her eyes are positioned looking off to the side like a Momoko doll. That's unusual for a BJD for me. I may adjust them, but not right now. I'm still not sure what Maggie's character will be. I think she's going to be a single lady, at least for a while. It's been a long time since I had a single lady BJD. I think it'll be interesting to explore Maggie's single life in my world of BJDs that are paired off. Maybe she'll meet someone and find love someday, but that's for the future.

I got a small lot of BJD bikinis from ebay today, and I wanted to try one of them on Olivia before the sun went down and before we got snow! It's a surprisingly nice day today, so Olivia wasn't too cold outside while she was enjoying the sunset.
