Sibling's cat is a supermodel.
Beautiful black/brown tabby with green eyes and a patch of white beneath her chin looking calmly into the camera like she's on The Office.

I do really love how the wooden wall sculpture/soundproofing in their home studio mimics the patterns of the honmoon tho. #KpopDemonHunters

Unless they can't be photographed and are only visible to other hunters. But then why do they appear on the Huntrix Comeback tour billboard? #KpopDemonHunters

I also noticed that in the photo of Celine and Rumi as a small child from the Idol Awards red carpet, she didn't have any visible patterns. Which makes me wonder if they didn't start appearing until Celine taught her shame. #KpopDemonHunters
Image of Celine with Rumi as a small child wearing a sleeveless dress, no demon patterns visible on her exposed shoulders and arms.

Since it's after sundown, Happy New Year!

I stood barefoot outside with a giant bowl of candy and stickers and twitching my head so I could see through my hair, and freaked a lot of people out and was mistaken for an animatronic multiple times.

here is Flynn, our middle child, enjoying the VERY ORANGE cover of our IKEA chair and ottoman.
A small black and white cat sits like a perfect loaf enjoying the new ridiculously orange chair and ottoman covers we got for the IKEA chair. behind the chair is a shelf of blu-rays and DVDs. there is a console table in front of the media stand because I have too much furniture. a top the shelf is the modem and Wi-Fi router which definitely needs much much longer ethernet cables.

Long story short, I rerooted the hair repainted the irises, put the head on an articulated 12-in body, made the dress, and all of the other bits and bobs either came from artists on Etsy or from my own stash of 1:6 jewellery and clothes and shoes in miniatures and such.

I fill a niche in the SFF community creating custom one of a kind dolls for authors. It started with a Zinzi December for Lauren Beukes, a slew dolls for Seanan Maguire, Amy Vincent who writes as Claudia Gray, Sarah Kuhn. Oh! and I made Charlie Jane Anders her own Mini-Me (on its way to her now).
custom Barbie sized doll of author Charlie Jane Anders. The doll is a pink-haired cutie in a lace dress and wearing a leather jacket with chunky jewelry and very chic glasses. The packaging includes an illustration of Charlie Jane and the words Charlie Jane in the same typeface as the Barbie logo.

excuse my messy house but we're having a tuxie party
three black and white cats in a single shot of a very messy living room. One is curled up in the basket of a cat tree, the other is in the foreground on an ottoman with a stretchy orange cover and the third is curled up on the sofa like she owns it resting her head on an IKEA pillow
