Dove
(the other one, but not the one we posted)
It all started when a friend saw a pullip-dolls contests on the internet… on no.. no no, it was all started when certain gal-pal, Robertino or should I call Lindsay Lohan (‘she’ loved it), having these craziness towards Blythe, Dal, and most recently Pullip. For information here, those name I said were all dolls (more like Bratz here) that produced in Japan (as I would like to think) and cost for unreasonable $100 each! And they also have collector items that worth up to $3000!! Lets not even mention the collector items, and still $100 for a 25cm tall doll is just a no-no, at least a no for me. Robert here, apparently is willing to spend extra money and have like eight of them (raise your hand, he called them his daughters, hallelujah!). And not to forget, all the accessories like a $30 wigs, $15 fake wings, all the fashion items, eye balls (oh yeah, just like us, they can change their eye color too!), even bigger boobies!!! Ka-Ching…
I’ve met them all, I cannot remember which one which, but I do remember Zi Yi (does.. not.. look like Zhang Zi Yi) and Dove (I have to admit, her wig is fabulous!). Started 3 weeks ago, he asked me to create fashion items for his ‘daughters’, that’s where I took Zi Yi home and created some couture (I love the term) for him. It does not end very well (bear in mind that I don’t know how to sew), the stitches all messed up. But I manage to cover it by using the same thread color, and of course saying that the theme for my couture line was ‘messy baby-doll’.
And so, he saw this pullip-photography contest on the Internet for the prize, of course, another pullip! He wanted to try, so he applied as one contestant, and asked me to help him during the entire photography take thorough the contest. He asked for my help all right, that beeyatch really pushed me over the edge, kept on asking for ideas on his 1st task (which the theme was set by the jury and it was ‘mirror’). Intended for doing the take on Sunday, I asked him to stay over on Saturday, so Sunday morning he will be ready to go to the scene. We went home a little bit late, around 2.30, and bewildered whether we should not sleep ‘til morning or sleep and wake early with alarms. We ended up brainstorming for ideas and took some sample take, probably until around 6, when we really felt sleepy and all. We slept! 7… 8… 9… 10… 11…! Quick shower and we went to the setting; it was not like what I wanted it to be (no water on the stone-cup, no waterfalls running, no nothing!). Settled on the sample-take-was-good-enough, we end up staying comfortably at free-day café and played with the wireless Internet while I enjoy my grape fruit something and Robert posted out photograph to the jury.
I just found out that the jury already received our Dove’s post and hoping we didn’t get eliminated! (Oh yes, btw, we use Dove as our model in the photograph)
Lots of Love!
