~Oh how cute!~

Just a little update for all two of my readers! I've been poking around with various little things and made two nearly complete Doll AVs. They come with a shape, a skin and a little starter key that has a simple ticking rotation.

First up is ~CC~ 001 Dolly. Cute and clear with a height of 1.75m

And Next up is ~CC~ 002 Dollie, Smaller and and more delicate at a height of 1.6m

Have fun and hope you like them, they can be found at my main shop and Xstreet SL.

All Dolled Up..

Welcome, How have you been..? That's good to hear. I've been busy myself in case you haven't guessed. Building, helping, fixing, learning, all those fun little things. ~Smile~

With the coming of what feels like an early autumn is a transfer in ownership at All Dolled Up, for those of you who don't know ADU was a quaint little place run by a wonderful woman named Subversive Vavoom. The "doll box" as I so often called it sold unique doll related items from the talented creators in the rather (comparatively) small community within SL. From Jessica's wonderfully detailed prim items, and Zilvara's abstract artful doll keys, to Subversive's gorgous skins. I say was because a good portion of these items and Subversive herself are now gone.

Now, I'm by no means trying to be negative or resistive to change which is of course a natural thing that most people would display to varying degrees but myself and various others who will remain nameless feel that things are somehow..."off" almost an uncanny valley to what we're accustomed to and expect from such a place. Now I could expound on these comments feelings etc. etc. that I've been privy too however such... unpleasant things really have no place here and I would hate to be labeled as someone unscrupulous by others. I'm very curious on the opinions of you my reader(s) on the new All Dolled up because everyone's opinion is a little slice of something greater the collective whole if you will.

I always say I'll post here more regularly but never seem to find the time too so I've given Rosemarie the go ahead to post anything here she sees fit, if anything she'll keep all (one) of you interested in the eccentricities that float about myself and those who associate with me.

~Smile~ I'll see you soon I'm sure of it.

I'm back and with Cool Stuff too!!

Well I'm finally back! Ok ok so technically i've been back for a while but nothing intresting to write about that and the horrible writer's block that thankfully I seem to be over now. I've been somewhat busy with some new items avatar accesories to be more exact.

First up is somthing very neat for all you "Digital" Dolls out there a pair of "Mecha girl ears" isnpired by the cute HMX-12 Multi from 'To Heart' I've made them Mod Copy no trans so you can get the perfect fit.

SLX Link as always.

Next up is what I'm the most proud of, a 200+ prim Doll made as an avatar accesory. She's nameable, has twelve difrent dress and trim textures, nekomimi accesories eyeglasses and changeable hair options. Sespite the high primage I went for a cute simple look which I think I captured well.

Cute huh? She's loveable and hugable and cute as well a dollie, here's the SLX Link for this loveable ball of cute prims.

I'll probably have a more "Newsy" update later today or tomorow for all the crazy doll lady talk but in the meantime, yep I'm back!

Final Thought:I've forgotten how to write well (T.T)

Look I made a Cube!

Nearly everything one builds starts as a single prim, It's your imagination or creativity that's most important tool. (well that and it's nice to know how to actually use the build system)

And building is what I've been doing well partly, more tossing some ideas around my head I usually need a fair amount of free time to work. Since my last Post I've made a Clockwork doll "ticker" that allows you to start and stop your ticking sound with a HUD attachment, My little house Modeled after one I used to own on the mainland, some persocom/Chobits styled eyes and a Tree AV type thing.


Of course...or maybe I should say "of curse" my PC finally slipped off into the great LAN in the sky so I've been away from SL for nearly a week. I should be returning by Thursday or Friday if all goes well. Despite the horrible week of having a cat and my PC die coupled with awful depression I now feel...refreshed. My head or senses rather keep telling me that it's spring which has rejuvenated me in a way I suppose.

Alts Part II:The Dallting

Made a cute little Alt yesterday since they're currently and supposedly free right now to help separate my "selves" and the workload of having a shop and the like while still trying to have Dollish fun. It's actually nice to have a fresh start the only worry I really have is if I neglect one or the other but I honestly doubt that will happen, just need time to adjust really. Ah another thing is Resources for building when It "hits" me but I can switch easy enough Usually.

Final Thought:Account's everywhere the horror...the horror........

Under the Tree with Jessica and Me:

With Christmas upon us comes the spirit of giving and the time when lovely little toys get to be the star...to the dismay of the star atop the tree all that hard work without recognition but I digress.
Nearly every household's Christmas tree will have some type of doll under it, be it a stuffed animal, a Barbie, or even a GI-Joe, yes a wonderful time to be a Doll.

Here in SL just like the real world makers of goods try to cash in on this joyous spending spree and while there's lots of junk out there some things are simply wonderful. Luckily I was able to find some of these "wonderful things" and they just happened to be dresses.

Today for review are two dresses from the "*Wishbox*" brand's foray into EGL clothes, *Wishbox* is of course run by Wisp Jinn and is an established maker of Medieval fantasy outfits. Her shop is in-world at Kan Lara, 121, 63, 401.

The first outfit, up is, "Candy Cane Lolita", A very cute Christmas themed dress adorned with a candy cane motif on the skirt headdress and striped stockings. The added bonus of alternate white stockings was a nice touch as well.
The texture and prim work are wonderful (the little mints on the headdress look edible) and it really is a sweet little dress for the holidays.



And next up Is a Lovely Dress called "Velveteen Ribbons" in red.(It also comes in Black and Teal)

A wonderfully Detailed outfit that while most likely made for a holiday theme is wonderful for everyday wear for Dolls and well anyone who would dress like this every day in Second Life. Like the last dress the textures and prim work are well done and the amount of fitting needed was quite minimal for both I and Jessica.


The Candy Cane dress was 399L while the Velveteen Ribbons dress was 550L worth every bit if not more, the only Issue Jessica and I really had was that they were Mod, Transfer, no copy rather then Copy,Mod, No Transfer, however if you're worried you can IM Wisp Jinn and she will fit it for you. So remember come Christmas morning play nice with your toys boys and girls, and don't neglect your older ones too.


Final Thought:Took me Hours to build that silly little under the tree photo set...

Getting Viggy With it:

The very Pretty Yora Vig made a post on her blog about one of the silly little items I made a Dressmaker's Dummy to be more exact. Viggy (which I'm sure will degrade into veggie and then eventually Miss Cabbage) like most thought it was made of sculpted prims at first but it is in fact an avatar accessory.
Yora is loads of fun to be around despite our different outlooks on Dolls. You know you're having sylie good fun when you're in a upscale dress shop with Yora dressed as Rainbow Brite setting up lighting for a photo shoot while "Loli's with Guns" shop in the background.

I'm quite glad that her and a few other people enjoy it so much, I had originally made the dummy to be a builder's and shopkeeper's aid. The idea had come to me roughly a month and a half ago when Miss Szilvia (one of the most beautiful and respected women in Sarah's county as I call it) had difficulty creating something for an avatar. Of course at the time my skills as a builder weren't quite what they are now so I had put it on the back burner.

I've always found it interesting that if I just sit and think of things to make I can't. I need some sort of inspirational spark from someone or something to get the gears turning, but when this does happen it often leads to something quite wonderful.

Final Thought:Emotion is the inspiration for creation good or bad..

Alts Dolls Dollts? Bolts? Boats? Wait what?

I Decided to play Dollie for a few days to unwind (oh god not again) and realized that all the "connections" and Responsibilities I had as a Doll maker Kinda got in the way which made this whole "vacation" worthless and even a bit counter productive.
Don't get me wrong I love being the sexy eccentric Doll maker, but I also love being a cute adorable little Dollie, and can pop into either or's mood at the drop of a Frilly tiny top hat.

Now making an Alt has popped into my calculating clockwork contraption of a head at times but then I get all obsessive compulsive about things picking a name transferring the right items actually creating the account which LL has made a sloppy mess of heaven forbid if you can have one top account with little aliases heck even IRC nicks are easier to link.
And of course there's the oddity of talking with myself if I logged both AVs in at once which I admit would be very fun!

I'm just curious reader(s) if any of you have these personality balancing problems? I realize I'm looking for justifiable input to sway me one way or the other but despite my insecurities it's still an interesting topic in my mind. I even had to make up a sort of continuity back story linking those two aspects of myself, which is honestly an upside because that kind of imaginary make believe stuff I love.

I'm not obsessive with minor details one bit that's just silly. Now if you'll excuse me it's Monday so I need to go re-wallpaper the shop....

Someone left the doll ajar again......

I finally listed my jars on SLX it took me a while to debate to flag them adult or not but I decided against it as it really doesn't fit the description and that's not what I made them for honestly.

A nice simple design with silver hardware and a cherry base which I hopes matches most decor.

Wait, You're a doll?......

In my exploration of the Second Life "Grid" people have and still do ask upon me telling them I'm a Doll what is I do and some even have asked what I "Get from it".

Well the more civil ones at least, others have declared me a "Child AV" that was created for some grand scheme so I can jump through a loophole and engage in some sort of secretive digital sexual role play because clearly I'm some sort of horny pervert. I just write these people off as ones who think too much with their naughty bits.
Ahem where was I? ah yes.

When I'm speaking to the inquisitive with more than half a mind I'm often at a loss for words or find it difficult to explain exactly, I have however come up with the following.

• For me it's not about submission
• It's not about being an object "Object Says: Hello Avatar!" (Sorry had to do it)
• It allows me to bring out my artful and creative side and it sparks my imagination

Dolls were created to be a child's little imaginary yet tangible friend. A little girl could share secrets, sadness, joy, and her life in general be it imaginary or not with her Dollie and the doll would always give her the support she needed.

This is what I love about dolls in Second Life the wonderful cuteness of it all is just a little bonus. (and I am cute admit it) I spoke with the rather high spirited Yora Vig about it the other night and jokingly coined the term "Orthodox Clockwork Dollery" which I've actually come to like despite it's apparent lack of "cute". Yora is a great person despite our different view on dolls.

Final Thought:Why do I wind down at the most emba.....................

Hiya!

Well here it is folks the dreaded awkward first post! May it's rigidity Be lost to the ages or the pits of the Blogger system. All silliness aside I've decided to use this as a sort of place to collect my thoughts, ramblings ideas, etc. about "Clockwork Dollery" as I call it in Second Life.

I know what you're thinking reader "Great another worthless blog about sexual submission in an over glorified chat room that eats Disk space." well you would be right however...

The Dollies I "create" are of a different breed..errr build. Sweet, cute, unique as close to how a "real" clockwork & and magic little Doll would be I'll of course extrapolate more if I actually have any readers but for now I shall say farewell my little Dollies and hope to see you again as I share my cute little Second Life with you.
