Richness of Brocade

 Evianna loves the finer things in life. This brocade robe by Robyn of Period Threads really suits her and is a favorite.

And this last shot is just a play with edits on the first shot above. I like how it turned out so thought I would share as well.

Timeless Friendship

 Elspaith and Mina stand on the shelf next to each other in my dollroom and as I went in today to get another doll I was inspired to get these two down off the shelf and photograph them together. They are best friends and confide in each other. Their beautiful gowns are by Period Threads.

I wonder what their conversation is about today?

Reflection

 As the holiday season is in full force, and the current year is preparing to come to a close, Yvette takes a few moments of quite reflection in her chambers. My how her life has changed since Bash came into her life.

She enjoys her time within the Guardian realm. She loves her work, and she has enjoyed getting to know the other members of the team. Working behind the scenes suits her. She was never one to feed off the adrenalin rush finding herself in dangerous situation produced. 

She much prefers the sense of safety she now enjoys in the realm. The past few weeks have however found her feeling a bit unsettled for a different reason than safety. She misses Bash. He's been away on a mission for quite a while now, with little to no word of his return. She finds herself seeking him out, just to talk about her day, or his day, then realizing he is unavailable at present. She misses his witty banter. She misses his caring nature. She misses his woodsy citrus scent that always seems to put her at ease.

Yvette realizes Bash has feelings for her. She has tried however to keep their relationship purely platonic and put him firmly in the "Brother/Friend" box, however the feelings she has been having recently are far from "brotherly". She realizes she has grown to care for him deeply. As her thoughts travel to what the new year will bring, she wonders if she needs to explore those feelings and talk to Bash, upon his return. Yvette has never really met a man that made her think of "forever" before, especially since being turned immortal, as forever is a very long time. Forever, she is also coming to realize, without someone by your side to share your hopes and dreams with, can also be very lonely.

Sully

 Sully was born human in Barbados and lived his early life working in the pirating trade in the late 17th/early 18th century. As a teen, he saved the life of the grandson of one of the most infamous pirates at the time. This act brought him into the "family" business where he learned watching and listening were two very valuable traits to have.  Being light on his feet and very adapt with a sword didn't hurt either. Sully was also very good at blending in when needed.

The above mentioned skill sets brought Sully to the attention of the Guardian force and he was recruited to be a watcher/informant.

Within the past few decades, Sully has also been used on the occasional mission, when his skill set would be beneficial.

Zak has been his handler. More to come as I figure out more of where he fits into the storyline.

Black and Blue

 Some new shots of Liza, just because I felt like photographing her. Elle is one of the sculpts that I think comes across so much nicer in the larger size. I love my smaller FID sized dolls, but there are certain sculpts that just "pop" more in the larger sizes I believe. Elle is one of those in my mind. She really has the most stunning lips.

The Hybrids

 I was inspired to do a group shot of my Iple/SartoriaJ hybrids this morning. Before Jay at SartoriaJ started producing his own bodies, he did heads that fit the Iple bodies. I have 3 such hybrids. From left to right. Yvette (Yvonne) is standing and is on a PG Iple EID body, Sully (Jude) is sitting in the chair and is on the original Iple SID body in old realskin, and Zak (Zakary) is on the right and is on an EID model body in the old Iple realskin.

And some individual close ups.

Just A Feeling

 Blaine has been without Blake for quite a few years now, and in all that time the knowing that he was happy in his life with Juliet helped with the melancholy, and emptiness of not seeing him or partnering with him on most missions. She still felt him in her soul and knew he was out there among the dimensions, and that someday when Juliet passed through her life as a human, Blake would rejoin the Guardian force. Time passed differently in the Guardian Realm. A human lifespan wouldn't be that long........

Recently though her gut has been telling her something is off. The feeling has persisted for several weeks now.

As much as she dislikes life in the fifteenth century, the pull to go back and check on her best friend is persistent and she feels she will have to address it with her superiors.

Maybe she can talk to Jack as well. He has been taking some time off, but if she's going back to the time period Blake is currently living in, there is no one she would rather have at her back than Jack, with the exception of Wulf, who is currently away on another mission and unavailable.
