Fashion Royalty Norma Desmond Giselle Repaint

Someone asked me to do a little reworking of their

FR Norma Desmond Giselle.

Here is her faceup, straight from the company:

Like an idiot, I didn't take a "before" pic, so this pic is

And here is my reworking of her:

This was fun, and I really appreciate the opportunity!

I've never done a repaint like this before, and I think she turned out looking

so much more elegant than the original makeup.

Lowering those pupils makes such a huge difference 0_0

New Little Purses

 I recently finished off two new purses, soon to be available in my etsy store,

but before I could list them, the Mori girls snatched them up and tried them out.

Miu: Look at this lovely little purse! It's just perfect, and just the right color!

Himeno: Oh yes, yes, mine too!

Miu: We even have a little Mori bear, hehe!

This adorable little bear is made by Ginger Brame of bearbits

Himeno: Do you think they'll make one of us ExCute girls into a little bear?

Miu: I hope so!

Spooky

Miu: What is it?

Miu in white: It's a book about the afterlife... and if science can prove there is one.

Or, if we have souls.

Miu: Uhm, I'm a doll. I don't even have internal organs.

Miu in white: Yeah, me too.

[EX☆CUTE] Miu | animals in the forest / Rabbit

Hello!

I'm Miu... I'm part of Azone's new EX☆CUTE collection

Animals of the Forest

We're girls who wear "Mori" style clothing :)

What?! You don't know what Mori is?!

Well... 

"Mori Girl fashion recently emerged in 2007 in Japan. Mori means "forest" in Japanese, and the style concept is "a girl who looks like she is living in the forest" The look is natural & earthy. The fictional archetype was declared as being the character of Hagu from Honey & Clover. The actual archetype of Mori Girl fashion is the actress Yuu Aoi, who as a matter of fact played Hagu in the Honey & Clover movie in 2006. Mori girl has developed not only as a style, but as a lifestyle as well! Quirky girls who love vintage clothing, pocket watches, tea, moss or going snooping in the grandma's attic will feel right at home in this fashion style. Although mori girl is natural, it does not mean it is simple! Mori girl does have a little bit of complexity to it."
