Well Hello Again

 Not sure if there is still anyone out there.................I can't believe it's been almost 2 years since I updated this blog. I started a new profile on Facebook under "JinCincy" where I have been posting most of my Muse pictures. I have also recently been trying to share more on Instagram (although that experience is a bit frustrating to me. I'm not sure I'll ever master how to work that platform to the best advantage and get followers etc).  Anyway, I thought I'd post an update here, and try to update this format more if there is anyone out that that still cares to see content.

I'll start by posting a surprise favorite from the last Muse collection to arrive to collectors, Masterpiece. I have to say, I love all the dolls in this collection, and ended up adding all of them to my group. My standout favorite among the collection, which surprised me a bit was Blanca. I fully expected to like Astrid best. (And I do love Astrid, don't get me wrong, she's a favorite sculpt of mine overall). There is something extremely special about Blanca though. She was one I added on at the last minute in the preorder period after seeing Lister's pictures on Instagram.

Here are the first pictures I took of her wearing Look 13, also from the Masterpiece collection. This was another last minute add on in preorders (thank you Lister!), which also turned out to be a favorite.

I love that you can use the chiffon draping at the waist as a wrap as well.

And a close up of gorgeous Blanca.

More Accessorizing

 Did some more 'accessorizing'....................this time Enchanted Lilly pairs the Vanille accessory set from Let them Eat Cake with Look 9 from La Vacanza. 

The full view

I'm not typically a Lilly fan, but I love the Enchanted version of her. I think it is because she's a bit 'softer' than her other versions.

She still manages to throw plenty of attitude though.

Fairytale Vibes

 Looking at Cake Camille in this blue dress from the 2023 Bonjour Paris collection, she reminded me a bit of Cinderella wearing her default wig cap. So, I decided to dress LV Gabriel up as her Prince, in Look 21 from Enchanted and take some photos. The blue of the suit matches her dress perfectly.

The gloves I've paired with the dress were also from the Enchanted collection.

And a final closeup of Gabriel in his Princely attire.

Accessorize

 Jamieshow's Let Them Eat Cake Collection offered 4 different accessory packs. I passed on them originally during preorders, as I decided to go with both dolls offered in the "Cake" collection instead, but then I started to regret it thinking the purple pack might go well with La Vacanza's Look 11. The promo pic of Taro Accessory pack pictured below.

During the leftover sale I decided to just bite the bullet and purchase all 4 of the packs. I got a chance to play a bit yesterday, and the Taro set DOES go well with La Vacanza's Look 11 as modeled by LV Ginnie below.

The material for the gloves look to be made of the exact same material as the dress.

This morning I decided to have a bit of fun with the Fraise set, pairing it with Fashion #4 from Rococo. The promo photo of the Fraise set.

The tulle with bows is sewn onto the glove. While the bows are a little bit lighter than the bows on the dress, I still think it all blends to make a fun pairing. Moments of Joy Grace models.

It adds a bit of fun versatility to the original look. Love the little macaroon purse.

Grace is wearing the blonde hard cap wig offered in the Rococo collection as well. Such a beautiful face. I'll highlight the other 2 accessory sets in another post as soon as I have a chance to play with them a bit.

An Under-rated Man

  La Vacanza Dusan is one of my favorite male muses. I can't believe he is still available on the Jamieshow site. I love his skin tone, and just everything about him, so I thought I'd do a post featuring him in some of the different outfits he's modeled since he came to live with me. Upon his arrival, he immediately got to model La Vacanza Look 15. 

This double breasted suit with the male corset in black is a stunner.

Next up was Look 13 from LaVacanza, along with Gabriel's wig. This wig has a little too much hair for my taste, but at least it's a step in the right direction of getting some varying hairstyles for the guys aside from the flocked wig caps.

When I first saw Look 13 from La Vacanza, my first thought was that robe will look fabulous with the silk PJ pants that the basic Enchanted men came in. Dusan models during some down time  here.

Lastly back to a little glamourous gold.............Dangerous Love Look 7.

Handsome from every angle

Astrid Gets an Escort

 Just having a little fun with Astrid and Aiden. Astrid is wearing Look 1 from the Bonjour Paris collection, and Aiden is wearing Look 13 without the chiffon robe from La Vacanza collection.

Fun and Flirty

 Backtracking a bit and sharing what has turned out to be one of my favorite outfits from the La Vacanza collection, Look 5.  I passed on this outfit initially during the preorder period. Why? I don't know, but I was lucky enough to pick it up in the leftover sale. Modeled here by Bonjour Paris Sabina, it is perfect for hot summer days.

The off center bow on the back is fun and different.

You have to add shades for summer time, right? Sabina is rocking them and the hair bow.

I thought the ponytail wig from Moments of Joy worked really well for this look as well.
