And we're back! Me and My Muses 5.1: "Meditation"

Me and My Muses is back! When we last left our fair protagonist, Ellery, she faced an ultimatum from her long-distance girlfriend Kristin. Either Ellery had to get rid of her muse, the sexy and devious Lucian, or Kristin would break up with her. Ellery chose to banish Lucian, making everyone miserable except for Kristin.

Now Ellery has no more muse...( Read more... )

Temptaaaaation...

Soom is getting rid of some previous limiteds that were ordered and prepared, but not fully paid off. People have a few days next week to put a comment on their Q&A board about which doll they want and what options [if any] they want along with it. Only a few people will be chosen to have the chance to purchase the doll that they are interested in.

Amidst all the argle bargle about dolls that I am not interested in, I noticed that there will be 4 Faery Legend Aubers available, 2 in grey and 2 in white. Yup, the one I wanted 2 years ago, but did not get. Wondering if I should put my name in for one and, if so, which color I should apply for. [I can't put my name in once for grey and once for white. >:( ]

P.S. I asked Soom if they would release a Faery Legend this month [since they said that they would release one last month, and they lied]. The response was that they would either release one this month or next month, and I should check the Web site for details. Not helpful. :p

Toxic Waste denizen in Zombieville

In the Zombieville universe, Toxic Waste denotes a community of homeless people with spondis [PWS] who live off of Pine Street in Burlington on the site of the old Barge Canal [now a Superfund site!]. I'd like to have a Toxic Waste denizen as a character in Zombieville, but I keep inventing people with high-maintenance looks instead, none of which are really compatible to the practicality enforced by homelessness. But I am now developing the look for a Toxic Waste resident, based less on pink hair and clashing prints and more on what I have seen in my experience.

The Toxic Waste denizen wears a heavily layered, worn and weathered outfit with some combination of the following up top: T-shirt, vest, hooded sweatshirt, plaid shirt. Definitely jeans [possibly torn, with long underwear bottoms underneath] and hiking boots. Knit cap or baseball cap. Backpack. Possibly a folding cart, shopping cart or rolling luggage [folding cart or rolling luggage more likely]. Walking stick/cane/trekking pole. Hair in a ponytail [possibly dreadlocked if in 20s, 30s or early 40s]. Cell phone. Possibly a laptop. A few cardboard signs for different situations. First aid kit!

Homelessness for this person does not mean living in a shelter or with friends or on various couches. This person lives outdoors in all but the hottest or coldest weather, in a semi-permanent, illegal platform tent, built on on lakeside swampland, with unstable, intermittent access to hot water, electricity and laundry. This person therefore dresses for utility, warmth and portability.
