Haven't posted anything since Talia's arrival... Oh~ so many things have happened in he last few months!
The ratlings are still doing fine. Naiara is no longer purely white: she has the cutest dabs of gray on her nose and ears. She's my little wild one, lurking in dark corners and enjoying her solitude. Nevertheless, she pokes her nose out of her hiding spot whenever I call to her. At night, especially when I'm alone, she's always there to keep me company. On her side, Talia is still as lively as ever. We play tug-o-war together and she always wins... and not necessarily because I let her! She's a crafty little devil: never believe her if she pretends to be bored of the game. XD Around October, she had a bity period during which she confused my fingers for delicious raisins, but it's been over for a while now and she expresses her territorial nature a little less as well.
I read on many websites that rats usually establish some sort of hierarchy among themselves, but it seems to be different with the sisters: Talia is the one who seeks me and jumps on the treats first, pushing Naiara aside, yet she still got kicked out of the box by her elder. When I saw that she seemed to have been forced to move alone to Ghostbusters' Central, I offered her a brand new cardboard box. Ever since, the ratlings have lived in separate homes. They still seem to enjoy one another's presence, but only part time. I blame it all on adolescence! >_<
On the BJD front, there's been quite a few arrivals and body swaps since last July, and even a departure! (*gasp*)
For one, Kylie has arrived:
We lost a picture contest together, hence the weird watermark on that shot
I thought his body would be great for Ann, but it turned out terrible, which was absolutely perfect! He became my favorite mold from Ringdoll (outclassing Spencer and Ashford) and took the appearance of the sweetest character I ever created. Painting a faceup on semi-transparent resin was quite the challenge, but I'm very proud of how it turned out. <3
In case you're curious, Kylie is a 17 year-old half-monster who lives a nearly normal life as a high-school drop-out with an evening job in a video club. He loves sweets and doesn't eat much else. A typical breakfast, for him, would consist on a bowl of pistachio ice cream topped with Froot Loops, dark chocolate chips, gummy raspberries, yoghurt-covered peanuts, lots of maple syrup and a swirl of canned whipped cream. He'd drink a glass of chocolate milk with that, to which he would add some crushed candy canes. Kinda makes me hungry...
In September, Love went on a diving trip with his brother to an abandoned quarry in Kahnawake. I brought Mr. Click the camera, Oska (with a new faceup and sculpted pointy ears!) and Nougat along, and we had fun!
With me:
Some shots were more perilous than they appear, as they were taken in the middle of a dense forest, away from any path and right above a cliff, over the water. The view was awesome there:
I took many pics that day... including critters...
...plants...
...porn...
...the godliest me ever...
...and a diving Love~!
As usual, there's many more in the
Bucket! As I resize and upload the backlog, I'll try to post more often on LJ... ^_^;
