During the last big snow (the one that turned into an ice storm and turned parking into a nightmare...), I took out a group of my Pinkys during the very early part of the snow (when it was still pretty!). I was actually on my way into work (no such thing as snow days when you're old...), so I stopped off along the way where my trip into work intersects the Charles River bike trail (near Watertown Sq.).
The next day I brought a slightly different group of Pinkys to work. This time my theme was "the redheads". Since there were a number of redheaded girls the previous day, I'm posting them all together under the same theme. I'm just giving out the extra explanation to explain what Mayura, Moe and Avril are doing here!
I'm not entirely satisfied with this second photo of Avril. I like the blue coat with her eyes, but her neck is a bit too long. Probably I shouldn't be pointing out flaws, in case they aren't noticed, but it bugs me every time I look at the photo. The problem with the ball-jointed headed new girls is that they don't fit into the old clothing the same - their necks are thicker. Ditto for trying to put old heads into new clothes. In truth, I am not totally distraught by this because at least the misfit is a result of an attempt to improve the design of the Pinky:St girls. There's plenty of pieces, however, that don't fit together well for no good reason at all. Oh well, minor grousing. It doesn't stop me one bit from buying more!
And now we switch to the following day. I took my girls over to a playground near my office. It was so slippery, I couldn't really walk very far. That should've been a sign to me...
It's a real close contest to me who looks better in Rebecca's hair - Bitter or Mayura. They both look pretty darn cute in it!
There were going to be more photos of Lisa and Sumire, but, unfortunately, there was a bit of a tragedy at this point in the photo shoot. Lisa fell, and instead of just falling into pieces, like Pinkys always do, her legs actually broke!! 
I was pretty upset, but fortunately I was able to buy some replacement legs from another Pinky:St collector. Thank goodness! Lisa loves these legs. I now plan to eventually glue them back together and probably repaint them. I have a lot of repainting plans... It's sort of bad. I need to do some practice pieces soon, at least, so I can see if I can figure out the technique of making the paint look smooth...
