Dark Moon...

Dark Moon Poppy is absolutely one of my favorite dolls.  She just loves the camera... I'm still waiting on several Poppy's that I ordered from this year's collection so I guess she could always be "eclipsed" (hah hah!) by another, but for now... she's my fave.  :o)

Starlight Goes Goth...

New clothes from Clear Lan!  Starlight Poppy has a nice punk/Goth look going on here... ;o)

Hippie Dippy

Guess who just came to live at my house??? I am absolutely loving Hippie Dippy Poppy... just gorgeous!!  I know this opinion isn't universal, but I am very pleased with the Poppy line-up this year.

Oh, Poppy... (and Agnes....)

I have read mixed reviews around the interwebs, but I LOVE the Poppy line up for this year... absolutely love it.  And what a fantastic start with Groovy Galore Poppy!  She's amazing... and so, so photogenic.  Life has kept me from photographing and updating this blog as much as I would like to but here are a few shots of Groovy Galore Poppy.  AND Aristocratic Agnes... my god.  The utlimate "Bitch-Face Barbie".  Can't do anything but adore her. I can't wait to get my hands on the other dolls I have ordered so far this year. CAN. NOT. WAIT.

Kimiko Gunn

I bought Tina Tanaka, aka Agent Kimiko Gunn, a few months ago off of Evilbay.  I didn't immediately connect with her the way I thought I would... I have seen so many adorable photographs of her around the Interwebs... I automatically assumed I would be able to style and photograph her beautifully as well.  But, alas, the first few photographs I took of her just didn't turn out too well... we just weren't connecting.  Then, I really hit my stride with her the past few days of photographing her.  It all seemed to come together when I put her in the cute outfit in the first picture.  Here are a few shots I think turned out pretty well.

In the first photograph, Kimiko is wearing:
Top: Katniss Everdeen Barbie
Skirt: Dynamite Girls - London Calling TJ
Jewelry: Barbie

In the last 2 photographs, Kimiko is wearing:
Jacket: Stardoll Fallen Angel
Hat: Only Hearts Club
Jewelry: Barbie

Desire...

I am seriously loving these new clothes from Clear Lan.  Incredibly well-made and totally fashionable! And the best part? Extremely fair prices and cheap shipping. 

So of course I had to set up some shots of Starlight Poppy and Back to Brooklyn Remi in their new duds... I think they make a great couple.  ;o)

My Muse...

Dark Moon Poppy has really become my muse lately.  She's my favorite Poppy Parker of the moment.  Here she is modeling a new dress from Clear Lan (which, btw, creates some of the most beautiful, well-crafted doll clothes I have ever seen!) Also, I now have an account on Instagram... you can follow me @dollsindystopia...

And check out the wonderful clothes at Clear Lan!  They take awhile to get to you but totally worth the wait!

Lazy Sunday Morning

Still working with putting together dioramas on my kitchen counter! I don't have nearly the flexibility I had with my room box but I'm making it work... for now.  Here's a quick dio of Poppy enjoying a lazy Sunday morning.

Picnic

I'm trying to find creative ways to set up small dioramas... it's pretty difficult in our new house since I don't have the same space I had before.  But I did successfully set up this quick picnic diorama on the kitchen counter!!  W00t!

Oh Poppy...

When I first started collecting dolls, my collection was truly all over the place.  It still is in large part... I have dolls of every size and shape.  But I have reigned in my collecting by focusing on Integrity Toys dolls when adding to my collection... most notably my primary focus is on Poppy Parker.  They are GREAT dolls... I love the expressive "resting bitch face" on Poppy, and her articulation means I can pose her for days... Such a photogenic gal!  Speaking of... here are a few shots of Dark Moon I forgot to post on here.  I truly love "Dark Moon" Poppy.  Absolutely one of my faves in my current collection.
