Photo Shoot - Eve on the Gold Leopard Sofa

Eve was my first foray into ZC Girl and second base body after BBI Perfect Body Female. I've read negative reviews about ZC Girl bodies but overall I think she's ok. Just get their designers (if they have any) to touch up on her 'cartoon' face. Eve has quite high quality hair as compared to Perfect Body so the face's a mismatch. Oh yes, her butt could have more fats though.

Today, Eve has the honour to be Model No. 2 for my Gold Leopard Sofa.

Photo Shoot - Glamorous Lifestyle on the Gold Leopard Sofa (I)

I eagerly set up a photo shoot session after unboxing the Gold Leopard Sofa. First model was Barbie "Bond Girl". She was the natural candidate for the sofa.







I'm glad I got the scale right. A good sofa or chair will have the 'seat' at kneecap height, this I discovered only recently after years of sitting on chairs and sofas. For Barbie whose legs cannot bend at right angles, it is better to err on the side of caution. Better a larger sofa than a smaller one.

My favourite photo has Barbie lying sensuously on her back with her smooth silky legs showing through the gown. Gotcha!

I Purchased the Gold Leopard Sofa!

That day at Marina Square, I chanced upon a contemporary gift shop, the playful and funky kind selling unconventional gifts like lava lamps, wall clocks and can-drink phones.

What excites me was the toy furniture on display. They are not 1:6 accessories but jewellery boxes in disguise. At $48 per piece after discount, they do not come cheap. But hey, who says the 1:6 hobby is cheap? Digressing. Since they look so intricate (look at the legs and ornament; pillows are included!!), I decided they are worth the price.

The jewellery compartment is well-hidden from sight. I probably have no use for the compartment except to store my 1:6 accessories. Well, let's see, should I hide the bazooka or the various rotting faux leather bags and apparel?

A bit of caveat emptor here. There are chairs/sofas/sofa-beds and they come in a few (near 1:6) scales, but they all cost $48. Which means you probably give the smaller furniture or the not so pretty ones a miss. I had a tough time choosing the scale. Based on experience, I tend to underestimate the scale for 1:6 furniture and my dolls will sit in an awkward position if they choose to sit (not like they have a choice .. lol). The Gold Leopard Sofa I bought is of the largest scale and the most intricate. This time my dolls will sit comfortably. :)

Photo Shoot - Dance of the Kunoichi

Been busy lately, no time to update my toy blog. This afternoon, I decided enough was enough; if I procrastinate, this blog will not see further photo shoots. My first photo shoot was Barbie, my entry to doll collecting.

Today I present Crazy Owners Kunoichi, my first purchase for 2009.

To end, here's my white ninja prostrating in front of Kunoichi. :D
