Yamarrah ships next month!

Remember her? I did a split for her along with a person who wanted the human head and a person who wanted the body. I have already paid off Yamarrah's head [good thing too, as expenses in our new place are really draining me], but I am waiting for the other two split partners to finish the 3-month layaway. The final payment for that is due at the end of June, so Yamarrah should ship to the buyer of the body sometime in July!

I already have the following pieces of her:

• hands [Soom Topaz fairy hands]
• shoes [Leekeworld]
• eyes
• creemee earrings
• faux fur for wig
• black stretch pants
• pink oversize sweatshirt + red legwarmers [custom items]
• sparkly creemee appliques

I should lay all these pieces out and take a few photos.

Of course, she needs a body. Given that her hands are translucent yellow and obviously not matching the rest of her and also that most of her except neck and part of shoulders will be covered, I wonder if I can find a cheap body on the DOA marketplace and paint the exposed parts to match? I've done it with 1:6ers...

Thinking about Yamarrah's body

Note to self: The DOA marketplace contains many cheap, aesthetically acceptable bodies by Fantasy Doll. Searching under "fantasydoll," "fdoll" or "fantasy doll" finds them.

Further Yamarrah concept: Fire elemental with flames up her forearms and on her breast, up her neck, to incorporate cool translucent hands and to cover mismatch in skintone. Possibly also flames on ears and cheeks.

Yamarrah: "Hey little dude! I'm a fire spirit too!"

Mellifer: O_O

Hee hee hee. 

New TV I am interested in

• Defiance. SyFy. Humans and aliens try to coexist in future terraformed St. Louis. Actually all on Hulu right now for free!
• Dracula. NBC. Vampires, reincarnation, elaborate dresses and British accents abound.
• Sleepy Hollow. Fox. Ichabod Crane pulls a Rip Van Winkle and pursues supernatural criminals with modern detective partner, a WOC.

And already-running TV:

• Colbert Report. Comedy Central. Colbert satirizes current events and is frequently funny about it.
• Grimm. NBC. Supernatural procedural stupidity slogs on without character development.
• Haven. SyFy. An Exceptional Woman investigates something rotten in the state of Maine.
• Warehouse 13. SyFy. Fantasy MacGuffins cause wacky highjinks!

For 1:6 scale walker parts...

...take the damn thing to the store and look at solid-core electrical wire in appropriate gauge!

Lesley Gore's You Don't Own Me live

This video of Lesley Gore, most likely around 17 or 18, singing You Don't Own Me live, fascinates me. She sings with such joy and passion and expressiveness; she clearly loves to sing! Plus she's hot; I love her baggy eyes and her long straight nose and her rectangular face and those amazing flickery eyebrows. It also doesn't hurt that she's one of us. :D
