The Psychic (A Lyrical Photo Shoot)

 


Happy Halloween everyone!
Here is a lyrical photo shoot I made to celebrate. The poem is about a ghost and psychic girl being friends: 

                                                         I always knew from the beginning, 
                                                        That the veil between the dead and living was thinning, 
                                                        I could see what others couldn't see... 

                                                        And that was meant to be. 
I never felt alone, 
Not in a bad way should I say, 
For I had a friend that I would see from day to day, 
She was sweet, 
She was kind, 
And I would often think about her at the back of my mind, 

I could see and feel what others couldn't, 
Maybe even that some wouldn't, 

I never prided myself on that, 
Because it is simply just a simple fact, 

I could see those who I had lost, 
To the other side had crossed...



...And I would often see her, 
The leafs around me would stir, 
And I could see and feel her, 


People claim to be able to see these visions, 
Usually you will know it is false if their story has gone through several revisions, 

What I saw though isn't fake, 
If it was, I am sure a ghost's heart would break, 

It is real, 
I know because I feel...


She often gently squeezes my hand, 
which makes me feel quite glad, 

Even though she is made out of thin air, 
She is both beautiful and fair, 

People wonder why I spend time alone, 
The truth is even when I am alone, 
I am not really alone... 


For she is here with me.

Autumn is in the Air (a photoshoot)



Happy autumn everyone! To begin the autumn season (which is going to be filled with posts about Halloween), I thought I would post a fall-themed photoshoot of Carol:

I like how Carol's hair is hiding her face a little in this one. 

I really like Carol's pose in this photo. 





I like the layout of this photo. 




I like the layout of this photo, and the way her face is hidden 
slightly behind her hair. 




                                        I also really like the view in this photo.

My Thoughts on Carpatina's and A Girl For All Time's Newest Releases


Hello everyone, I don't usually see people talking much about Carpatina or A Girl For All Time. Mostly the posts I've seen are talking about AG, so I thought I would dedicate a post to sharing my thoughts about Carpatina's and A Girl For All Time's awesome new releases (including Emma, because I never talked about her when she was rereleased).

The first thing I noticed when I looked at a picture of Louis was that he had a different face mold than James (I renamed my James doll, Alfred) or Stephen, his face felt wider than the others. I think the reason for doing this had to do with the fact that the historical figure they were basing the doll on had a different facial shape:

Louis looks very similar to this portrait of King Louis the 14th, and I think Carpatina did a good job putting his personality and characteristics into doll form. Now, as for Louis's two wigs, which are removable, I find it very interesting because I thought at first that the brown wig was put over the auburn one, but it appears that you remove one to put the other one on. Since I don't have a Louis doll, I can neither confirm nor deny whether that is the way it works, but I am judging from what Carpatina said in the description. The cool thing about having two wigs is that you can always add a third one in, which adds a way to do quick customization without actually hurting the doll. As for the outfit, I love the style of it, and I like the style of the buckled shoes. The shoes are different from James' because of the time period difference and because of the fashion that was popular during King Louis' reign. As a whole, I am excited that they made another boy doll!

Emma was actually rereleased around the time I found out about James. I didn't really talk about her much at the time, because I was focused on the fact that a colonial boy doll was being released. Emma is a time traveller, who according to the description travels to the 1600s during Louis the 14th's reign (which is rather cool to have a girl doll and a boy doll who are from or time traveling to that time period in French history). Unlike the other girl dolls I have seen, she has two dresses (and a underdress), one from the modern time, and one from the 1600s. The 1600s dress is my favorite of the two, since the 17th century is one of my favorite time periods.

Speaking of the 17th century, Girl For All Time recently gave Elinor (a doll from Shakespeare's time period), a new outfit, which looks beautiful on her. As a person who loves the Elizabethan era, I love that they are giving Elinor more clothes and accessories.

This cat reminds me of Caroline's cat Inkpot, except that he is named Shakes after William Shakespeare, one of my favorite playwrights! If you didn't know already I am a huge Shakespeare fan, and the fact that a cat is named after William Shakespeare in the Girl for All Time brand makes me so happy. And since her story is set in Elizabethan England (even though there hasn't been a release of it yet), it makes me wonder which of Shakespeare's plays will be mentioned in her story, and if there will be part of the book where Elinor visits the Globe Theatre! If there is a scene where she goes to the theatre, it would be awesome!

As it turns out, Girl For All Time is releasing a boy doll, though he is from the 21st century (and I much prefer historical boy dolls and girl dolls). Although I find it exciting because this might mean that historical boy dolls will be released in the future. If there was a boy side character, who was friends with one of the girl characters, it would be awesome if they made a doll of him.  Anyway, I am excited to find out what releasing a boy doll means for future releases at A Girl For All Time.

Do you have a favorite release from the ones I mentioned? Do you prefer 17th century France or England?
