The Little Dorks and Clara [Mattel Nutcracker and the Four Realms doll of Clara, i.e., the only fully articulated Skipper-size body that was around before the Mattel Creatable World line] attended VTDL yesterday. I opened up my two Mattel Creatable World dolls, purchased on sale at the end of November for $10.00, and took pictures of the CW clothes with my Little Dorks.Continue reading Vermont Doll Lovers meetup, 12/21/2019 — the Little Dorks

Saturday morning we started the day with the DollFest meetup, where I assiduously chased around people until I got their names, the names of the doll sculpts, and the names of their doll makers. I enjoyed an excuse to talk to strangers and share our enthusiasm.

Mary brought hundreds of pages of paper dolls to the VTDL meetup earlier this month, but I just processed the pictures tonight. All of them capture the bright colors and enthusiasm for prints characteristic of 1971. And they were all so playful and exuberant that I couldn’t select a few favorites. All the [crappy] photos are below the cut. Continue reading Paper dolls from VTDL — the glory of the Seventies!!

Araminthe, Honorine, Sardonix, and Submit went to VTDL today, along with a crapload of Christmas props. While there, I swapped a Lumedoll Arine for Touralyn, DragonGems’ second scratch-built BJD ever. Because I found a crack in her torso, Megan is redoing her body, so I actually came home with just her head. I did, however, get some photos of her hanging around Submit, the other 1:6 scale doll of mine in attendance. Pictures are on the VTDL blog, as usual.

Yesterday VTDL had another holiday meetup. I had very little time to prepare, much less purchase any St. Patty’s props, so I just brought Polly. Fortunately, she happened to be wearing a green shirt. Other attendees’ dolls compensated, however, for my lack of seasonal paraphernalia. Photos on the VTDL blog, as usual.

We had a Valentine’s meetup on Saturday. For BJDs, I brought Muggins, Jujube and Submit. Cutey Honey also came along because she had hearts in her outfit. A close examination revealed that her hair is turning brittle and falling out, so I really need to fix that. VTDL members recommended a reroot, but I’m going for a wig. I’m pretty sure I have some bright red faux fur.

I’ve decided not to laboriously reproduce my picture-filled posts on this blog when I can just point to the official VTDL blog post in which attendees did entertaining things with their dolls and Xmas props. I think Yamarrah got a little overwhelmed on her first Xmas… :p

Yesterday CCDC welcomed its largest complement of attendees ever! A whole dozen of us attended, including newcomers Pink and their husband [from Maine] and Pink’s friend from Quebec [who doesn’t have any dolls…yet]. We spent the entire extended duration [noon to 4:00 PM] talking dolls, posing and photoing them, in between side conversations about mutual interests such as Monster High, Internet-based cartoons and fursuits. As far as I can tell, everyone enjoyed themselves. 😀

Saturday’s Valentine’s meetup of Chittenden County Doll Club attracted a total of eight doll enthusiasts, as well as at least two hangers-on who did not come with dolls. In any event, the turnout represents the most populous meetup of CCDC ever, not only in terms of people, but in terms of dolls [somewhere north of 25]. Onto the pictures!

I bought Nathaniel after seeing Lyrajean's Volks Masha [below at right] at the previous meetup and thinking that she, like Nathaniel, was an Emma. The two have some similarity, but they are quite different. I took pictures of both of them for comparison. I really like the Masha sculpt, except for the bags under the eyes!

August hangs out with goldi's DollZone Ulli. I had a WTF moment recently when I saw this sculpt online, but, now that I've seen it in person, it's pretty hilarious. It looks drunk and sly.

Anyway, August has a new eye! It's smaller than the gold one, so she looks a bit older. Now she's pink all over.

vermont chick brought an Iplehouse YID Harin [not shown] and her 3 Fairyland RealPukis! From left to right, Kaka, Soso and Pupu. Personally I think there should be a Wiwi to complete the scatological triumvirate. :p :p

Anyway, now that I've seen these in person, I really like Pupu more than I did when I saw the pictures. It's a very cute smile!

vermont chick got her RealPukis because she saw Noodge, my Soso, and thought she was so cute! She touched up her Soso's teeth so they can be better seen. Somehow this makes her Soso look even MORE devious!

After lunch today at Tiny Thai, vermont chick and I ventured into the muddy confines of Old Mill Park in Jericho in hopes of capturing our dolls along with fall colors. Sadly, rain had knocked most of the leaves down, and the ground was too squishy for extended photoshoots, but we got some good shots of our dolls, my Sarah [Dorothy stayed in her glasses case box, not wanting to deal with large, wet leaves] and her Jamie [Iplehouse Claude].
