On the Island of Gods

I enjoy my stay here more and more, the time passes so fast, and it's nearly the time to move on. I have my small pleasures: long walks along the seashore or up in the hills, watching animals and listening to cicadas, or in the crowd in the old city. I love to try new foods, especially exotic fruit and sweets.

I kind of regret bringing along so many dolls. I didn't even have time to take them out of the box, poor things, but for a short glance. Only Lagoona takes her rightful place at the side of my bed, despite any comments. I made only one new dress for her and took her for one solitary walk.

My slimy Thumbelina :)
The dress she is wearing is not the latest one. Actually, it's the first dress I made for Lagoona.

Hey, I'm a water creature, this sun does me no good!
Get me outta here this instant! There are spikes here!

Thank you. I like it better here.

The other reason I regret bringing so many dolls is that during my walks in the city I found a really nice toy shop, particularly one with quite many collectible dolls and some really nice playlines. They have loads of Monster High, Paola Reigna and Stardolls. Finally, I could in person asses the latter, since from the photos I could not make out, whether I want them or not. Well, now I know, I definitely do. It cost me 20 euros and three rounds around the Old Town, struggling with thoughts, if I could spend that money, but I have the Fallen Angel. It's going to be a pain looking for a body for her, but who cares... And another pain to fit her into my overloaded luggage. ;)

Mediterranean me

I've been silent for a while. The reason is here - I've moved to that dot on the map below (hope its working).

From my point of view it looks more like this:
 
I'm going to stay here for about a month and then move on to another, preferably equally interesting, dot.
 
 Of course, I have some of my girls with me and I hope to be able to introduce them to you, but my company here is not really doll-friendly (and that's just one of their flaws...) 
I couldn't decide to take just one, though. Packing up one's life into a never-big-enough suitcase is one of the hardest tasks ever... I've packed some dolls, than unpacked them, packed yet another set, chosen some clothes for them, then had to reduce the amount by half... In the end, I've left behind the MZ Flaunt It girl. And lucky I did, because my luggage was grams from overwieght.

Ebony and ivory


I bought this Monsieur Z Flaunt It doll almost three weeks ago, but I haven't had time to enjoy her since. As far as I know, I'm her third owner and it is quite apparent from her condition. But still, she was very anticipated and yesterday I had tons of fun photographing her. It was one of those few nearly perfect days - it was warm, I didn't have school or work, everybody else was watching football and I had all the time for my dolls. :)
Lots of photos below!
