Merry Christmas!

💗💗💗🎄 Merry Chirstmas Dears! 🎄💗💗💗

Wish you have great holidays! We do, only handful of Grim Reapers have to work on the birthday of our Master. Which means, I have time to meet my darling 💕💓💕 Will 💕💓💕 He sure is gonna do some work at the holidays... As it's my duty as his girl to make sure he doesn't overwork when he was supposed to have some rest... it's gonna be a rough holidays for this lady = ='

Anyway, this time I had just a photo shoot with my host. This time we focused on quality. Can you believe, from over one hundred photos, 15 was qualified enough to my Christmas special D: This time I'm wearing wamami 1/4 scale pleated skirt, which is a little too big to a Taeyang body (I used safety-pin to diminish the waist). It was meant to be a miniskirt, but I actually like to-the-knees style for winter. I'm wearing Barbie's Ken red retro vest, which was a pretty catch from ebay. It has beautiful plaid pattern in the back and in the lining that fits to the skirt, unfortunately it doesn't show in the photos. Maybe the next time ;) The jacket is of course my of stock (Taeyang Grell Sutcliff), as well as the glasses <3 The red bag was made by my host <333

Take care of your skirts when it's windy! >~<

There's no Christmas photoshoot without few pics of lady lying comfortably on atmospheric settings ;) 

And of course there's no successful photo shoot without few standing-while-cute-as-hell shots 💗

And finally, there simply wouldn't be Finnish Christmas without gnome girl peeking trough windows!

By this post, I wish you Merry Christmas and the most beautiful New Year! See you soon, darlings 💕

The Third Advent - Saint Lucia's day

The third advent came with devouted feelings. Here in Finland 13th December (last Wednesday) is the day of Saint Lucia. Saint Lucia is a martyr who took care of the poor and was a saint of the blind people. Her story is actually quite dramatic, her being a young maid whose destiny was determined beforehand and her being killed after she refused to follow that destiny and stick to Christianity even if it was forbidden at her era.

Here in the north Lucia is allegory of eternal life and the bringer of light (and hope) in the middle of darkest months of the year. Every year Lucia maiden is chosen among young girls, and criterion for Lucia maiden is to be smiling, pure and light-hearted. Lucia is chosen from applicants by public voting.

So I took part in this pretty tradition - who wouldn't, when there's such a dramatic story behind, and an opportunity to dress all white and beautiful! My dress consists mainly of Taeyang Romantic Mad Hatter stock outfit. Boots are second hand, and my beautiful lace skirt is actually a lace bag folded in the shape x3 The garland is drawn by Paint Tool Sai.

That was all for today, I wish you wonderful Christmas week 💗

The Second Advent

Another week went by! This time I bless you with light 🌟 as we finally got Christmas lights to the house 💛 There was no time for green screen, so this time I'll just quickly show up in a cute gnome girl's outfit 😘 I have future plans for the outfit (at least to part of it), so I'll present it later in more detail...

💗 See you again next week! 💗

Happy 100th birthday, Finland!

Today is the 100th Finnish Independence day celebration. As you can guess, there's a lot going on thanks to the anniversary. So, we decided to celebrate this once-in-a(-human)-lifetime occasion with dolly style.

A thing worth noting is that Finns seem to do a lot of stuff with their dolls, instead of mainly just collecting them (I've heard some collectors around the world never even remove the stock outfits from most of their dolls). Customizing is very popular, as well as making clothes, doing photo shoots and writing stories for the dolls etc. I guess this is partly due to it's a pain in the ass to get any new dolls here in the woods ( 😆 ). On the other hand as distances between you and other doll enthusiasts can be long, it's nice to do all kind of stuff with your dolls when you're most of the time "alone" with the hobby. The third reason might be that as most of us are surrounded by nature, it's nice to dress dolls according to season and do outdoor photo shoots. Okay, this was actually an insight coming from my host, but I thought it would be nice to put here a little analysis of Finnish doll-addicts for sake of the day 😁

I arrived in Finland roughly a year ago, and as they don't tell that much about anything to dolls, I don't know a much about this country. The only thing I know everybody thinks there's snowy winters all around the country, but so far there have been only few days of snowing and it's very dark, cold and wet outside. So as a dignified lady, there's no way anybody could make me do outdoor photo shoots right now 😖 But it's alright, as my host's emerging green screen skills are here to safe the day! By this pic, we want to wish you great celebration 💗

I hold lily of the valley in my hands, as it's the national flower of Finland. And I indeed don't have the kind of a great airy white dress you see in the photo... no, it's painted in the picture. My apologizes for breaking the illusion 😛 The shirt is from taeyang Dollte-Potre Alfred outfit. The necklace (actually a bracelet) and the bow pin are borrowed from my host 💗 The main program used at editing is Paint Tool SAI.

Ps. I'm sure you darlings are great sensible people 💗 Anyhow, I remind that the pic/photo is (c) by the writer of this blog, and no use is allowed without permission.

The First Advent

Long time no see, did you miss me? 😘💗 We decided to take part in advent calendar set up by local doll forum. So I'm going to submit a new pic every Sunday till Christmas!

This time we had a ginger bread theme, because of I happened to have a fitting outfit (outfit: taeyang Dollte-Porte Alfred). And because of you can make a pun of my name, Ginger Lady (haha). And also, because of what would Christmas be without ginger breads 😉 The one I'm holding is going to be shared with my darling Will <333 Hope you like!

I was quite excited to try green screen technique again, since the first try was kind of disaster 😬 The main program used at editing is Paint Tool SAI. Seems like my host have learnt a thing or two, since I don't seem so out of place with two-dimensional background this time. I would say it was a surprise how well the ginger bread and ginger house turned out, but those branches of spruce seem a little unnatural, at least. Anyhow, with this kind of first attempt, I'm eager to see how the three other pics will turn out.

Ps. My host wanted me to remind you, that all parts in this photo/pic are (c) by the writer of this blog. Please do not use without permission, thank you 💗

No more standing!

I got a sofa! It was such a sudden stroke of luck, my host found two abandoned doll beds. Timing couldn't be better, as she's been thinking of buying some sort of seat for me, soon as she'd find a qualified and affordable one (actually she already bought a chair for me but there's no way I could relax on such a rickety thing!). Even just with rolled piece of cloth as cushion, it's so cozy <3

Ps. The only unfortunate thing is, it's a little too short for Taeyang, so I have to bend my legs if I want to lie on it :P

The day after...

The day after the doll meeting two pretty awesome things happened.

First.

I got to try on this magnificent death scythe!

It actually belonged to a beautiful anime figure-lady, who was kind enough to borrow it to me for a photo shoot 💗

Notice how my halo of death Goddess appeared soon as I got it to my hands 😎

If the Grim Reaper Dispatch could consider even a moderate rise on the budget of the Retrieval Division, and served this kind of highly-qualified tools to the graduates (instead of the crappy toys), the mortal people would take us more seriously... 

Smokin' hot, am I 😙💋

And the first chapter ends with a cool pose <3

The second.

I got to meet my Sebby's young master Ciel Phantomhive! Now, you go and tell me, where is Sebastian??? TT_TT 

Well, apparently, she identifies as a young lady these days. And has dyed her hair to green (don't you think it fits her??)! 

It felt so nostalgic to suddenly meet this grumpy precocious soul in the doll world. I never expected I'd be so happy for this meeting TTvTT

Like in the old days, I'm his shadow, always waiting for his death to catch his soul before Sebby (after all, I love him, even if he's always been such an annoying little brat tearing me and Sebby apart) <3

Just couldn't resist but give a sweet little pat on the head. I love how she's avoiding it like my hand was going to bring her to heaven xD 

Okays, one last shot with this adorable little tsundr-soul 💙

So, this was all for today, my greatest thanks if you found time to read it all! 

Till the next time, cha-cha-cha darlings <3

Met dolls of my kind!

I was invited to my first doll meeting ever! It was a wonderful chance. Beautiful ladies everywhere, some gorgeous gentlemen here and there, hosts who treated us with the utmost respect, being in the spotlight till the night... what more could a lady ask for! I also did some very successful cloth shopping, but that's a subject for a whole new blog post (or two), so let's not break the mystery yet 😙

There was a whole bunch of beautiful souls (and I guess some soul-less ones as well) in the meeting!

I got to meet a Parisian beauty with invincible taste on fashion. There was no end to our chatter! 😁 (And don't miss that heart-crushing glance from the prince next to me!!! 😍)

There was just something very special about this quartet (not sure if some of them have been customers of my colleagues...) 💗

There was also a group of beauties with different design 😙

It turned out I wasn't the only one with cartoonic background 😏

I wasn't the only one with smoking hot red hair, either 😁💋

Some tiny cuteness also occurred 😊

The milieu wasn't the most glamorous... yet we turned it out fabulous!

Well, that's all for today. Till the next time, sweeties! 😙💗
