Isabel doesn't like having one.

Beth has clothes beyond a hospital gown!
I could buy clothes for Beth, Isabel's doll and star of Isabel's doll-based comic Beth and Death. However, I'd rather try making clothes from existing materials. After several failed attempts, I've come up with the following passable outfit. The skirt is a semicircle that I hemmed with fabric glue, then sewed up the back. I cut a hole in the center ( Read more... ) -
Thalia's temporary pre-Raphaelite hair
Some frizzy wig is standing in for Thalia's wild mane of black mohair curls, interspersed with plastic snakes. I like the voluminous curls; they soften her square features a bit. I also like the hair pulled back because then I can see her pointy ears.
What I don't like are those pointy tits. I'm not sure why so many sculptors insist on aggressively ( Read more... ) -

Thinking about Thalia's outfit
Thalia is currently wearing a DollHeart neck corset, Ringdoll Frankenstein's robe, black handmade leggings and skull loafers. That's not her final outfit, but I'm still working on what indeed she will end up wearing.
I have multiple and often contradictory ideas at work here. My default impulse is to take a particular idea and run with it to the ( Read more... ) -
Nowhere to sit
I seriously need to invest in some good chairs for my 1:3 scale dolls. My single 1:3 scale chair has ridiculously short legs, leaving Jareth hanging out of it like a partly collapsed tent pole. :p Everyone else just sits directly on my bookshelf, and they have to keep folding their legs to the side so they don't dangle.
There's a person on DOA who ( Read more... ) -

Drag queen compares and contrasts blackface and drag
Taking as a springboard Mary Cheney's comparison between drag and blackface, Miz Cracker posts on Slate's Outward Bound with a discussion of the two subjects. Miz Cracker notes that, at base, Cheney objected to drag because she saw it as a mockery of an oppressed group [women] created by a powerful group [men] for degrading purposes.
