Artsy Sister Reviews Bonsai Thai and Sushi Restaurant
It is always fun to write about food. Most of my happy memories are in restaurants. This weekend we went to Bonsai. It has been forever since we visited our favorite Thai and Sushi restaurant. The waitresses were pretty happy to see us. We must be the last tippers left in the entire world. We know what it is like to live from tips. My mother started out as a waitress when we moved to the States. The tips were the only reason we managed to survive. Moving along. We started by ordering drinks. Mother has developed a taste for...
Wizard of Oz Dorothy and Scarecrow Dollmore BJD Doll Photoshoot
In celebration of Spring, I decided to do a lighthearted photoshoot. I went for the Wizard of Oz theme. I focused it only on Dorothy and the Scarecrow. I was able to get the Scare Crow outfit. One of the ballerina outfits of my Odette doll resembled the blue, plaid outfit of Dorothy. Since the pieces were there, I did a two doll photoshoot. The first part of the photoshoot focused on one doll at a time. I then tried to pose them together. This is easier said than done. Both dolls have different heights...
Doll Chateau in Anchor Polka Dot Red Dress Photoshoot
Today, I got around to doing a new bjd doll photoshoot. I tried to keep things simple because I didn’t have a lot of time to make this photoshoot. I had to move a lot of furniture.

WE haven’t had guests in quite longtime. The idea of a guest sleeping over isn’t all that appealing. So,...
Blue Fairy Spring Butterfly BJD Doll Chateau Photoshoot
Today, I did a solo bjd doll photoshoot. I finally got around to changing the look of my Blue Fairy bjd doll. The wings pose a big challenge when dressing the doll. I can only have her wear two-piece outfits. Dresses require some lateral, fourth dimensional thinking. I will deal with it when I deal with it. On the meantime, I wanted to show you how great she looks with her new jean and shirt combination. The butterfly jeans combine well with her wings. I chose a short silver wig because it made her look cool. The...
Art Student BJD Doll Photoshoot
Today, I wanted to do a simple bjd doll photoshoot. I decided to make it art themed. Here, you can see my Bebe doll with some of my paintings. Her dress is Dollmore. I was using my legit paintings for some of the background props. I also added some nesting dolls that I painted a while back. The palette and the brush are the things I use to develop watercolor painting. All in all, I was trying to convey an artist studio type of feel. I just didn’t want to make her a regular student. That would...
