Challenge 7, Veronique: Preliminary Thoughts from the Stump

Preliminary Thoughts from the Stumped,

as some of us At Home Players are:

The dolls are very leggy and delicate and Jason's designs are intricately detailed in perfect scale. Stories about Veronique's cosmetics company and all the dirt on the other company and characters involved are here, and there are archives of collections of other years: http://www.fashionroyalty.com/

Luckily for me, I have a Veronique from IFDC 2006, a lovely blonde that's been itching to get out of her box and pose. When I get dolls of such limited editions (this one 500, I think; maybe smaller), I tend to "save" them -- keep them in their boxes and open the boxes and admire them from time to time. I have two of these, so I know I can open my own one -- and need to anyway to get some good pictures of her in her outfit. I think she'll tell me what she wants; I know she's thinking of a good rest: Adele talked her into it (and I got a great Adele with the right lipstick on from my buddy Kevin K). Wonder why he's not here? Anyway, I may have reached my level of incompetence. I'll take the ladies out and see what all they have to say to me -- maybe over a bottle of champagne howling at the moon together. How is everyone else doing on this one? --Alison

Alison...you know I am stumped too.. I can not wrap my brain around this challenge yet.. I think I will be needing some of that mentoring TED promised us... I have some Lame I ideas floating in my visions but the question is ..... Hmmmmmm.... to create a "Centerpiece" ensemble it would seem it would not make sense without the rest of the collection... Am I just a dope or maybe I am just not getting the whole concept. And yes Alison....where is our buddie Kevin...he would really love this stuff.. We must tell him ....

Hi Durelle & Alison, I'm stumped too!!! We have a saying down here - 'Beyond the black stump' meaning the middle of nowhere (outback etc). That's where I am sitting at the moment!!! : I had an idea but what's getting me is the detail that FR fashions have and my lack of confidence in sewing for such small girls so it doesn't look 'frumpy'. I too am finding it difficult as without the rest of a collection how does 'moonlight' centrepiece show the 'joy of living'. i'm feeling a lack of confidence at the moment. I too might need to contact Ted with the one idea I have. AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Thanks for posting this!!! I'm glad I'm not the only one!! A bit down in downunder Agarva
