Just a few images to share from a recent photo shoot.

Busy week–still adjusting to the 4am wake up call….

I’m so tired.  So very, very tired.

Today I’m sharing something that you’ll either love or hate.

011

I hope this doesn’t ruin our friendship.

008

See, I have a small collection of Bradley poseable dolls from the 60s and 70s.  You know the ones–cloth, poseable arms, big eyes, flourescent make up, crazily coiffed hair.

009

I do regular searches on etsy for them.  Sometimes nabbing a really great deal, sometimes crying a little inside because the doll I want is beyond my price range.

007

One day, I ran across DolliPop Vintage’s shop and I was hooked.

DolliPop Vintage isn’t just selling your grandma’s Bradley doll.  Nosirree.  DolliPop Vintage is selling unique, one of a kind creations MADE FROM Bradley dolls.

I have a love of all things circus, and slightly creepy….yet lovely.  And, when I saw these beauties?

I had to have them immediately.

I ordered them that day, and anxiously awaited their arrival.

Meanwhile, I told everyone I could think of about them.  That was when I realized not everyone shared my love of these two little girls.  Not everyone wanted them in their own home, above their computer screen day in and day out.  Not everyone would stare lovingly at them, speak sweet nothings to them, create stories and outings for them.

To each his own, as they say.

013

I just cannot imagine a world without these babies of mine.  They’re simply exquisite in person–beautifully painted and seamlessly merged.

DolliPop Vintage has a a number of other beauties in the shop right now–I’m just trying to decide which one will be my next sweetheart to join the gang…..  Daisy, here, is calling my name:  https://www.etsy.com/listing/102893263/daisy-vintage-upcycled-bradley-glamour?ref=shop_home_active

But maybe I should go with Flora and Fauna…they could be the older sisters of my little sailor girls:  https://www.etsy.com/listing/151774511/flora-fauna-vintage-upcycled-bradley?ref=shop_home_active

Check out the shop–I mean, if you’re not hiding under a table already.  https://www.etsy.com/shop/DolliPopVintage

I know I featured a bustier in the last couple of weeks, but I have to tell you–

slick9

this is my second favorite bustier of all time.

Repurposed from a t-shirt.  Fully lined in heavy cotton twill.  Grommeted back.

I won’t lie–it’s been in the shop for awhile.  A few years, actually.

I always wonder WHY.  I just think it’s so cool.

If it fit me, trust me, I’d keep it.

I really love that image, the color, the texture of a well-worn t-shirt….

Today I’m sharing one of my favorite tunic dresses from my shop.

207t

I had *just* enough of this fabric to make this one dress.

I’d purchased the fabric eons ago as a remnant and could never quite figure out what to do with it.

188t

Then, I was preparing for my runway show a few months ago.  I had hit that place, that place where I’d completely lost my vision and couldn’t figure out WHAT I was doing.

I started scrambling about, making random boho-style things, because that was the style I was really feeling at the time.

181t

And, out popped this beauty.  I originally intended to include this in the show itself.  But that was in the haze of doubt and confusion.

As much as I love the tunic, it didn’t belong in THAT show.  And, so, it wasn’t included.

948

I’m a layering kind of girl, so I love it layered with a tank top, and over jeans.

Don’t get me wrong–it’s cute alone, too.
