Blue Hair None



"WherearetheDolls?WherearetheDolls??WhatareyouWorkingOn?WherearetheDollllls???"

.

I hear that alot.

.

Making me super surprised and pleasurably pleased, here's what I just found: Heart's head loaded as the opening page to Richard Gardner's website.

.

The large blue haired girl, who is now complete, Richard had decided to photograph before she was completely finished. Then, of course, she would be photographed again, after she was finished.

.

No hair. No makeup. No eyes. No filler.

.

Heart, who now sports very expensive blue hair and who my husband calls 'Queen Lo Mien', was dropped off to Richard's studio early yesterday afternoon so that he could continue to shoot the 'Bebe' series of photographs. The 'Bebe' exhibition has proven itself to be very successful and he is continuing to add to the collection of doll photographs. The photographs as a collection on gallery walls are literally breathtaking in their beauty. They're striking, they're sensuous, they're controversial, they're colorful. I'll be sure to let you know when you can see 'Bebe' in person again.

'Bebe' is the photographic exhibition produced by fashion photographer Richard Gardner of my work and my collaborative work with A.D. Puchalski. In the latest collection of photographs, we have also added a piece by Laura Galbraith which I had the good fortune to further costume rather extravagantly. A.D. Puchalski, a toy designer, is primarily a graphic artist and can be found here: www.angeldevilland.com . Laura Galbraith, who holds a Master's degree in Fine Arts, is also primarily a graphic illustrator and can be found here: www.lauragalbraith.com .

We are also working on 'Bebe' as a photography book. For those of you who have loved our ball jointed dolls, I will keep you posted on that.
