Apology and update on Elle

Hello, ya'll, this is Poppy in my sweet south voice. I owe ya'll an apology. We have not been posting like we otta. However, I do have a reason, darlin'. Life. Revolutionary, I know. Whoda thunk? But in all seriousness, life has been a little crazy around here lately. A week ago we ended a 2 week long acting intensive and out fourth and final performance of the play Street Robber, A story of George Muller and His Orphans.  It was a very fun play to perform and we had a great time doing it. On the down side, though, we have all been sick and more tired than an overworked farmer this last week. When you have a 110 kids all crammed into the same space for 2 weeks solid, germs are bound to spread. Anywho, after this happened we had school to get back into the swing of. We had been doing school all through out the rehearsals but it had been minimal. We were finally started again and Wednesday hit. My mom woke up sick and incredibly dizzy. She suffers from vertigo and this her third spell so far. I had been up since two that morning watching out for her and around 8, a friend took her to a therapist to get relief. The next day was even crazier. My mom was still sick and we had a bible study to attend. Thankfully, my best friend, her mom, and her brother offered to help. They arrived and helped Mom and then Arista's parakeet died on us. So while her mom drove my mom to the therapist again, me, my friend, and our brothers held a funeral for Gylfie. Arista did not attend due to grief and also stayed home from bible study while the rest of us went. We spent the day with them to let my mom rest, so no school got done that day. Friday was catch-up day and we had our cousin arrive to stay the night. She left about 7 hours ago and I have finally (on Saturday night) gotten to sit down to post. I am incredibly sorry about our lack of posting and we are trying to do better.


Now onto Elle. In May, I bought my first monster high doll, Elle Eedee. (Or in other words, the coolest doll on God's green earth!) Well, I've had to fix one of her arms already but Wendsday the other one snapped off and left the entire peg inside. Currently I do not know of anyway to fix her except to drill into her arm, which I refuse to do. This doll was wonderful and still one of my favorite although she only has one fixed but function able arm.
So thanks for sticking with me, I know this seems kind of like a depressing post. Remember God made you special and he loves you very much! Night y'all!

Flynn Custom Doll

Hallo to all! Poppy here in meine (mine-a means my) German accent ready to introduce du (doo  means you.... I'll just speak English from on. :D ) to my favorite custom doll Ive done so far! Sie fabulous Flynn!
Photo:
Alright.... I know Ive used this picture a dozen
 times, but she looks so awesome here!

Flynn was originally a used Hat-tastic Cerise Hood Ever After High doll that I found on Ebay.

I received her for my birthday along with hair to reroot her with. My mom and Arista had gone onto Dollyhair.com (which is a great hair supplier for dolls by the way) and bought me a 38" and an RD hank of saran hair from there. The RD hank was a blend of golden auburn and torch auburn while the 38" was a blend of a blend of tangerine orange and flame auburn. When we ordered her, she was the I had never customized a doll before so I had no idea was I was going to be doing. That was quickly changed. 
Taking some old dolls we had lying around the house, I tried my hand at this thing called customizing. Armed with less than worthy supplies, minimal knowledge, and absolutely no experience, I ripped the hair out of my first custom doll, Phirozythe.

 I rerooted her with yarn and inspired by my success, made Anne Burrell for my mom and created Phirozythe's (and Flynn's) mom Trina, the middle-aged fairy, along the way.

R.I.P. Trina. She died two weeks ago. 
By this point I felt ready to tackle customizing Cerise into Flynn. I was still scared, no doubt! I had been thinking about this character named Flynn for a LONG time and she already had a more detailed more detailed background than all my other dolls at the time. I really did not want to mess up on her. But, praying hard, I did it anyway and she turned out better than I would have imagined. Displaying photo 3.JPG 
I even entered her in the fair! (She didnt place in case you were wondering. She lost to a cabbage patch doll) She has quickly become one of my favorite dolls right up there with Elle Eedee.

With longer legs than most EAH dolls, custom-rooted hair, and dragon/fairy hybrid heritage, Flynn is packed with personality. (Her name is even spelled funny! Its actually spelled Phleinne but most people cant pronounce that so we just spell it Flynn.)

Overall, Flynn is a very unique doll and so is her family.
Gute nacht (goot na-k-t  means goodnight.... had to throw in one more German phrase...) and wielen dank (vie-len da-n-ck  means thank you... so maybe two more....).  
  
Remember, God made you special and loves you vey much. Goodbye!
Denken Sie daran, Gott hat dich besonders und liebt dich sehr. Auf Wiedersehen!
(Dont ask me for a pronunciation guide on that one! Just use Google translate. :)

MOVIE REVIEW: Astro Boy


     Most of you have probably not heard of Astro Boy, or Atom, unless you watched 1960's anime. But you just might have seen this movie poster at theaters in 2009. Just maybe. So I, Arista, am hear to review this movie! NOTE: To understand this review, WATCH THE MOVIE. IT WILL MAKE SOOOOO MUCH MORE SENSE. PLUS TO UNDERSTAND MY FANFICTION YOU HAVE TO WATCH THE MOVIE. Thanks and enjoy!

     The movie is about a smart kid named Toby Tenma. As in most movies, tragedy strikes, Toby dies and his father, of course, is devastated. He then spends days working on a secret project: Astro. Astro is a almost identical robot copy of Toby, built in with one of the best defense mechanisms.

   PROS: This was a great movie, both entertaining and exciting (not to mention Astro/Toby looks quite a lot like a certain character that dies in Big Hero 6...). The plot was interesting with many surprising turns. The characters were well thought out and the animation was superb (yes yes yes I just said superb. That word sounds so weird). And there were no bad words in the movie!

   CONS: The creators left a little too many branches that go off the plot. Like they could have gone a LOT of different ways. Some characters were introduced in the movie and then didn't really show up again. Some of the jokes were, I don't know, almost embarrassing.  They probably weren't the best, though.

    All in all, with minor exceptions, this was a wonderful movie. Family-friendly too (mostly)! And there is my first..... MOVIE..... REVIEW!!!!!!! ;D Arista signing off!
