Isabel now has a pink Bug.

I'm not sure if I want to spray paint it either black or white or just leave it pink and put some weird designs on it. For some reason I'm thinking that there should be cemetery iconography on it. :p I mean, she likes this couch, so why not extend the same excruciating design principles to her car?

Vanity plate: EPITAPH. Isabel's name for her car: Eppie. Yeah, she's weird...

Isabel rocks! \o/

No wonder she gets haunted by a dead version of herself.

EDIT: I think I'll leave the car pink, but stencil some death's heads on it in black. FUCK YEAH!!!

EDIT 2: Gravestone Artwear generously allowed me to use some of their designs on Isabel's car, so I vectorized four of my favorites. I will then create custom window clings that I can stick on the doors, hood and trunk of her car. This is going to be amazing! Hmmm, I should also create a little gravestoneartwear.com window cling too. :D

I can just see the discussion now...

...When Dillon, Isabel's ex, talks to her about buying Eppie, her pink Bug decorated with Puritan gravestone iconography.

"Is that the pink hearse?"

"It's not a hearse; it's a Bug."

"Well, it's got all those skulls and crossbones on it."

"Those are death's heads. You know nothing about eighteenth-century New England cemetery iconography."

"And I don't want to either. Shudder. ...They'd better be removable. The pink I can handle, but not those creepy stickers."

"And this is YET ANOTHER reason we broke up. The historically accurate decals are removable, and don't worry. I'm keeping them."

"Thank God. It's a deal!"

^_^

Tonner finally makes something I want.

Check out this doll inspired by Dr. Seuss illustrations. She's theoretically an interpretation of the palette from The Lorax, hence the name Truffula.

I like everything about the outfit, but the doll itself bores me to tears. Her hair should be either a gravity-defying, multi-tiered sculpture or some wild mess of tricolored faux fur [or a gravity-defying sculpture of faux fur with an explosion on the top]. Her makeup is way too flat and subdued, and her bug eyes do her no favors whatsoever. Snore.

This is the sort of outfit that I would purchase and then use as the centerpiece for a custom doll. That will never happen, however, because I am never getting into 1:4 scale. NEVER!

Where are you, GI Jane nurse?

I used to have this doll: a Hasbro Classic Collection Vietnam nurse from about 2000 or so. She was my drag king. Then I got rid of her, but now I want her back and can't find her anywhere! I can find the AA helo pilot and the Caucasian nurses, but no AA nurse. Come back to me, drag king!
