Happy Halloween!

In the Ghost Chair: My Melody Steffie (aka, Christie)

Come sit in the Ghost Chair
Whose flickering existence,
Wound round-about like fog in the sky,
And, much like a whisper,
Aloft on an eddy,
Stood quietly beckoning for you to come try.

Welcome to the Ghost Chair Hour...

in which someone takes a seat

and tells us something about themselves.

First we speak with Christie, a My Melody Steffie.

A question for Christie:

Whats your favourite smell/scent?

Christie: Ooooh, that's tough, so tough... really tough!

*thinks about it*

My favorite smell is the smell of chocolate chip cookies baking in the oven.

*nod*

Yup... sooooo tasty!

Er... I hope that's what you meant by the question... ?

Change is in the wind....

Christie: Hey guys! I got a little makeover for my

trip this weekend! Watcha think?

Christie: Yeah, I know I've got a big head.

Christie: Don't judge me.

Strange Days

Christie: Today I wanted to talk about Takara Jenny outfits!

I got this one as a gift a while back and... uh...

GAH! It's that noise again... WHAT IS THAT?

*Narwhal pops out of nowhere and starts singing*

Narwhal, narwhal, living in the ocean!

Christie: WTF... did... did you see that?

Causing a commotion...

Christie: Sweet mother of... there are two!!

Because they are so Happy!

Christie: Eeep!

*Narwhals disappear as suddenly as they appeared*

 Christie: Wow... I... I need more coffee.

Christie's Hong Kong Cousin

Christie: Hi everyone! Sorry I've been a little quiet lately!

I've been entertaining a visitor!

Please meet Chanel!

She is a Kurhn Doll!!

Chanel: Hi.

Christie: You have kind of a strange name.

Chanel: It's a Hong Kong thing.

Christie: Oh...

Well, anyways... as you can see, Chanel is a bit shorter than me.

Chanel: What do you mean by that?

Christie: Uh... that... you're shorter... *confused*

Chanel: Are you trying to make a joke?

Christie: No... *more confused*

Chanel: *stares hard at Christie and decides she's telling the truth* Ok.

Christie: T_T

Christie: Oh my, is this a bathing suit? It's pretty skimpy 0_0

Chanel: Eh heh heh, yes, a bathing suit...

~•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••~

Heather: It's me, the human, and I'm going to do a quick

analysis of the doll, a review for anyone considering buying one.

Things I like:

1. She's got a lovely, lanky, elegant body

2. Her skin tone is a really pretty, pale color.

3. Her hair is really soft and luxurious.

4. Her clothes are cute.

5. Overall, she's super cute.

6. While this is not the body with elbow and knee joints, she's still quite poseable.

7. She was shipped super fast and it only cost $4 (I opted for them to remove the doll from the box) 

8. Free gift!! flyingannalee sent along a free outfit, which was super sweet :)

Things I don't like:

1. Her makeup is wonky... look at the picture above. The bottom eyeliner/lashes on the left eye (to your right when looking at her) is way too low... and her eyeballs are wonky. I'll be repainting her for sure. It's not a problem for me, but for someone who doesn't paint, it would suck.

2. I thought I was getting the jointed body, the pics in the auction were misleading.

Here is a link to the auction I bought from: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kurhn-Doll-2503A-can-DIY-Super-fun-Superset-/400303576154?pt=US_Dolls_Bears_Toys&hash=item5d33f3d45a

Wouldn't you think she was jointed at the elbows and knees?

No, when buying, you must ignore all promo pics and only look carefully at the

actual pic of the doll. You can see, in just that one pic, that she is in fact, not jointed at the elbows and knees. Bleh.

Final Analysis:

I would totally buy another one of these girls... their overall aesthetic is just too cute, and the pros outweigh the cons for me.!

I bought mine on ebay from flyingannalee, who is supposedly the

certified dealer of Kurhn dolls.

Check out her wares here:

A New Bunny

Hi everyone!

Just wanted to share this bunny I made.
(ps... I'll be talking about the outfit in another post later this week ;) )

He's still pretty big though...
I think maybe I could make him a bit smaller...

but wookit his wittle fuzzy tail!!! *squishsquish*

Despite being a bit bigger than I was imagining,

he's still perfect for snuggles!

*snugglesnuggle*

I don't know, what do you guys think?

Should I try to make a smaller bun-bun?

(The bun-bun shown on the Majokko Shop is larger...

more 1/3 scale... more of those to come!)

The Storm Arrives... no, not another post about rain, I swear

Christie: It was a dark day out...

the darkest of all days.

The neighborhood took on a creepy atmosphere,

like something out of Grimm's Fairytales.

Christie: Today, the BIG BAD WOLF arrived!!! EEEEEE!

Nikki: Oh please, you're such a dork.

Nikki: Hi all! I'm Nikki. I blog about fashion and life and style,

just like my sister, Christie, but I do it better.

I'll be a guest on her blog from time to time.

Christie: LIKE HELL!

Nikki: HAH, like you can stop me.

Christie: You're right, *sniffle*

Nikki: I mean, I'm older than Christie, I have more life experience...

and I know actual guys, a feat Christie has yet to accomplish (aka, even talking to one).

Instead she just spends all her time with that damned cat, Macaron.

Seriously, who names their cat after something they want to eat?

That just seems sick to me.

Like saying, "I acknowledge you are edible, cat."

Weird, but then, that's Christie for ya.

 

Nikki: I know Christie's already been prepping you for what an awful person I am.

Well...

GOOD.

I make no apologies for who I am.
I make no apologies for tormenting my sister.
(OH please, like you don't torment YOUR sister... if you have one)

I make no apologies in general, usually.

It's not my job to make you feel like a super special sunshine rainbow.

Deal with it.

Oh, and Hi, nice to meet'cha!

Bonus:

Since the photos above, Nikki has been upgraded to a more poseable body,

so she can give you her 'tude in a more expressive manner.

Nikki: That's right, I'm articulated... although my butt is HUGE now.

Gotta kiss those gold pants goodbye ;_;

Christie: Your butt isn't the only thing that's huge... your ego eclipses it.

Nikki: Whatev's, Tater Tot... you're just jealous that I make this look sooooo good.

Christie: Oh boy, save me... please? Anyone??

 

Rainy Day Outing

I don't know about where you guys are...

but around here it's been raining like crazy!

Lot's of thunder and lightening too!!

So, anyways, I've never been out in the rain before, so as you can imagine,

I'm really excited to try out my brand new rain gear!

Isn't this shirt too cute?

And the skirt has an elastic band,

instead of a button of velcro,

which has some of the other dolls around here very excited.

I hope I'm not forgetting anything before heading out *rushes around*...

it seems to have taken a little break from raining!

Here's the whole ensemble...

Pretty cute, huh?

Here's a boot closeup!

This umbrella is cute, but totally useless...

it doesn't even open. -_-

 If you're interested you can get this ensemble HERE.

Although honestly, I bought it at my local Target store for half the price
when you consider shipping.

Everything is really wet out here... but it's not raining at the moment...
maybe we should go explore?

*hops down off the porch to go look around*

Wha... WHAAAAAA???? THE RAIN!!! IT'S HERE!

Help me, help me, help meeeeeee!

*Christie is quickly soaked by the sudden downpour*

OMG, it's cold, and wet, and miserable...

why doesn't this crappy coat button up?!

WHY DOESN'T THIS UMBRELLA OPEN?!

*after being rescued from the rain*

Ohmigod... can you see this? I'm soaked!!

The only things that are dry

are my butt and my feet!

AND I'M FREEZING!!!

Can we go inside now?

On a positive note, this whole outfit stood up very well to being absolutely soaked through.

Bonus shot:

I can't always be graceful ;_;

My Sister is Coming

Hey all, Christie here.

I have some... uh... news.

My sister is coming.

Her name is Nikki.

She's... uh... nice?

Heh, no, no she's not.

Brace yourself.

What I Wore: Coffee Shop Morning

Coffee Date... except, like

the saddest date ever... because...

NO MAN!

PS... don'tcha think the bow on this dress is a bit extreme?

Get the look!

Want this dress? Click Here!

Want these shoes? Click Here!

Want my coffee? FORGET IT!

What Keeps Me Alive

This is an every morning essential!

Of course, it's not always Starbucks...

or this big...

I know, I know, you're wondering

"Where does she put it all?"

"How does she stay so thin?!"

But I need my coffee in the morning...

like... as much as I need air.

What's your "Must Have" drink?

These Three Hoes Gotta Go!

Hey all! It's Christie!

Today I'm posting a pic of these three layabouts.

They have GOT TO GO.

There's no room for hussies like this,

who just lounge around nude all day

{{*muffled yell from the background* YOU STOLE ALL OUR CLOTHES!}}

AHEM, who lounge around nude all day,

in this house!

So here they are,
please help me get rid of them.

The cost of adoption?

You pay shipping and these wenches are yours.

What are you reading?

 It's no secret, I enjoy spending my spare time reading.

 

 

This week I've decided to hit up a series called

The Spiderwick Chronicles...

this is actually part 2 in the series.

Admittedly, it's a bit kiddish, but I just love stories about faeries!

It's written by the very talented Holly Black and Tony DiTerlizzi.

So, I'm curious... what are you all reading?

Also... where do you read?
I tend to lay on the floor...

Although I'm not sure why, it's not very comfortable... 

I always end up repositioning myself a million times.

Maybe I should buy some more furniture?
