Goddess of Spring

Hm, I've disappeared off of blogging again... ^^; It's really hard to do every day for some reason. It's not like I'm not on the computer all the time (sadly) - I guess sometimes I just forget to have anything to say. I also haven't had a lot of time to post photos to flickr, even tho I've still been taking them, but if you go there now, you can see my photos of my Rei out with cherry blossoms. It was truly wonderful weather all week last week. Sadly it went back to being cold and rainy for this week, but I feel happy because I did ride my bike into work one day last week, which gave me lots of time to take photos along the Charles River bike path area. Most of my photos are in color, but I really liked the sepia effect on this one. Something about Rei seems to work well in monochrome. I wonder if that is because I don't really like her blue hair...? (d'oh!) I still plan on rewigging her in black some day, but it's gotta wait a bit, as dolly funds are low...

Yuiko is wearing what I am calling a "goddess" outfit. It's probably an old Barbie outfit. I found it recently while clearing out the attic. I didn't have as many Barbie toys as I remember (or they didn't survive the recent damage to the attic) and most were not in good condition. This one was wrapped up special inside of the Barbie box. I think that saved it, as otherwise it would probably have been quite dirty. It needed a pretty serious airing out, but otherwise looks pristine. I don't remember it at all, so I wonder where it came from?
