A Gown for the Cover

9/28/2021

"The magazine editor loved your photos, and had me send more of our gowns for you to photograph...."

"He brought the photos to show us...."

"They were really good!"

"He said he still needed one more for the cover...."

"I knew the one that would be perfect..."

"...and showed him my favourite....the pink gown with all the beading."

"He loved it, and said it would be perfect."

"...and he wanted me to model it myself."

"I didn't know if I could do it - or if I even wanted to. I didn't have any experience as a model."

"But he insisted..."

"...and I'm so glad that I did, because that's when I met you...."

Ah, thats how she was selected to model the pink gown. Forgive me I dont know some of the dolls names. The auburn haired girl in the green shawl. In one shot the dolls expression gives the impression that she was disappointed not to have been chosen to model.

It's interesting how even with static faces a doll can still have certain expressions depending on how they are photographed.

I'm terrible at renaming dolls, and both of Naomi's assistants are different versions of Narae. The red haired one was only my second ball-jointed-doll, from way back in 2010. I got her on the secondary market, and she had already yellowed then. The brunette is a 'Butterfly Narae', (my third Narae, and the sculpt with a slight smile) and was never given her own name. Number two I named Aeran (Narae spelled backwards - more or less) I suppose number three should really get a name.

And yet another surprise. I would not have guessed how she got to model the gown.

I am very much loving the high fashion in this story. Your attention to detail is definitely shining through in all of the garments.

It's nice to know things unfolded in a surprising way, and it wasn't always obvious.

Those three gowns are the only 'modern' ones I've ever made, each originally for a different doll before they went Medieval Fantasy. Naomi wore two of them herself at the beginning of the story.
