A milestone for Cherry...

[embyquinn]

Once upon a decade ago, when Cherry had her first ever body (Liv Daniela), I begged my baby Barb to take a photo for me since the phone I had at the time did not take good pics (and Barb can photog not just circles, but Dyson spheres around me).


So now that I've got Cherry as an MSD, I thought I'd remake the same costume (it's Mina from Doll Master, a Korean horror film from 2004 and possibly the first BJD-inspired horror film ever).

Here's Mina as portrayed by Eun Kyeong Lim:


And now for RiRi's new cosplay!


This is taken in more or less the same exact spot where the first pic was taken: same tree and everything. (It's only been ten years, live oaks don't change that much.)


RiRi emoting for the camera in her portrayal of the poor doomed doll who only wanted her owner to love her. Not that RiRi has to worry about that.

And today I learned I can't turn my back on my girl during a photoshoot if there's an elevated area within jumping distance. Because this.


She's lucky I love her so much. I would bust her back down to Barbiedom so fast.

I've heard of the Goths Up Trees web site. Maybe it's time for an entire website devoted to Dolls in Trees.

And congratulations to Cherry for looking better than ever after a decade of... dollishessness.

(Bonus points for that Dyson spheres remark; that was LOL funny!)

You did a great job on the outfit.
Have you read this manga? It's a story about a doll that comes to life.

Thank you for the beautiful story, May. I actually teared up a little.

From time to time I've wondered how I would like it if RiRi started talking and moving on her own. Not coming to life as a human girl or anything like that, but just being an animate, sentient doll.

Then I realized that she's demanding and spoiled enough already. She lets me know what she wants perfectly well without being animate or capable of speech. And I wouldn't love her any more (or any less) than I do now.

She's perfect just as she is.

Congrats, Glad that you enjoyed working with Cherry, its always fun when the right doll comes along and clicks with what you enjoy doing. May she continue to inspire and bring you joy.


Ah yes Doll Master. the one where the poster at a defunct BJD shop scares me more than the movie itself.
