Meet Megan

Many of you know that Carol is a doll collector and that we have several Sasha dolls along with some Betsy McCall, Madeline, Raggedy Ann and others. I’ve taken a lot of photos of the Sashas and while I really like their personality and variability, they are not the most poseable dolls around. For several weeks I looked around at the variety of ball jointed dolls and even borrowed a pair of Angel of Dream dolls from one of our doll collector friends. Eventually I decided on one of the Obitsu 50 cm girl dolls. I’ve had her for a bit over a week now.

This is Megan in her traveling outfit that she wore on her trip from her prior home in Japan.

Megan has brown hair and hazel eyes.
She is a dancer and like many dancers is a bit of a tomboy.
She loves being outdoors.

Here Megan gets acquainted with Anika.

She couldn’t wait to get out of her girly clothes and into her shorts and top so she could get out and try a couple of dance poses.

Here she is in her element…

Carol and I are leaving next Friday for an extended driving trip which will include the Sasha Festival in Springfield, IL. More from Meg when we get home.

Annika and the Strangers

 

Carol’s Sashas hang out in our living room and rarely venture into the dining room unless they have a new outfit and I’m photographing them in it. For the past few weeks I’ve had a pair of Angel of Dream or AoD ball jointed dolls that I’ve been working with, Fei and Min. The Sashas have largely been quite unaware of that. Friday evening that all changed when I took Annika to photograph her new summer outfit.

Min came over to see what was going on and rather surprised poor Annika who had never experienced anyone quite like the elegant and somewhat enigmatic Min.

Annika wasn’t quite sure whether to run away or fall in love.

Fei saw that Annika was being overwhelmed so she came over to give some feminine assistance to the younger girl.

Fei is a total charmer!

After Annika went back to tell all the other Sashas that there are strangers in the house Fei talked to Min about barging into other photo shoots.

At least that’s what I thought at the time….
