I like the elegance of Kaede in the pin up girl style. 👍 I did a bunch of new edits to this image, and along with the one with the handgun it's inspired me to do an ongoing photo story using these as the base concept.

BeyondTime Posted October 15 For anyone who might be interested I use blue-tac (the white version) to attach magnets to the doll, and then use another magnet to hold a clothing item in place. Kaede Takagaki V2 - Bottoms Up-13053.jpg by Cult-Of-Athena - Info Photos & Photo Stories, on Flickr This allows me to create shots where the clothes stay where I want them, or shots like the one a few posts above with Kaede pulling on her stocking. You can probably use this in other creative ways to support props. I've used magnets to add weight to clothes so they hang properly; just pop one one one side and three or four on the other then pose so they can't be seen. 3 3 1 “Empty wallets, full hearts.” That’s probably an apt description for the effects of DD addiction.

Oooh - I'm looking forward to seeing that. This and your photoshoot from earlier reminded me of a setup that Mint Star brought to I-Doll a while ago.

Rajke Posted October 15 11 hours ago, BeyondTime said: I'm going to build on the idea that I have so many dolls that they have formed their own country. The white blue tac and magnet idea is nice. Normally for photos where things don’t stay in place I use fishing wire. I definitely going to try that idea. love the idea for an ongoing poster series. What name do you have for the story (or country)? For countries there are so many useable names like Dolltopia, Dollmuda Triangle, Center point of Dollness, The Dolly river, Dollyard, Dollcrypt to name a few. And I also like to know if you have this image as a poster hanging in your house. 😁 Love to see your creativity in the posters. This one was really nice. Looked like an actual movie poster. 2 Greetz, Rajke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BeyondTime Posted October 15 4 hours ago, Rajke said: love the idea for an ongoing poster series. The poster style images will be the chapter openers, but past each one it will be a photo story. It’s going to be more Ian Fleming than my usual eye-putty-for-brains comedy. I don’t have it hanging somewhere, but maybe I should for inspiration. That was based on an old magazine that I pretty sure was published in Spain or Italy a long time ago, but I’m thinking of doing newspaper style things too. some of the story images will be pinup style sort of like Bond girls, only some of the girls, like Kaede, will be Bond, or maybe a rogue version of Bond. 3 “Empty wallets, full hearts.” That’s probably an apt description for the effects of DD addiction.

BeyondTime Posted October 17 Vinyl News - War.jpg by Cult of Athena, on Flickr Spoiler Just a note: I used chatgpt to create the basic text, and then modified the text to fit my collection and the doll's personalities. If I'd written all that on my own it would probably have taken me months and I'd rather take pictures of them. I say this because I don't want to take credit that I don't own, and also to label it for people who object. I did the news layout myself in InDesign. 3 2 “Empty wallets, full hearts.” That’s probably an apt description for the effects of DD addiction.

Please let me know details on this because the Monarchy that Rei has going on here just isn't working as well as she thought it would. She says there are several "peasant uprisings" that need squashing. 😉 LOL Billy 3 I gave up counting the girls I own, they keep multiplying and won't stop.

It's not just her tho, Manami has several cronies on her side to make more noise and get in Rei's hair. I fear a full on civil war may erupt..... too bad any such thing will be swiftly crushed by Rei and The Maid Brigade. 😉 Billy 3 I gave up counting the girls I own, they keep multiplying and won't stop.
