Hair Cuts & Body Changes

July 2, 2023 at 9:14 am by Claudia

I mowed the corral and the back forty yesterday, with sunglasses and a mask on. Nevertheless, my eyes are irritated this morning. Thankfully, the air quality is back to normal as of today. So, you’d think I could run outside and do lots of stuff today, but no, it’s raining again and will storm this afternoon.

Ah well.

I trimmed Nina’s hair yesterday. It was just too long – all the way to the ground and then some. I’d been thinking about it for a while.

Then, for the 100th time, I had problems standing her up in the cabinet. The Obitsu 22 body I’d given her when she arrived here is very lightweight, so the heaviness of her hair – even with two inches taken off – would tilt her forward and I didn’t want her falling from the top shelf.  I decided to switch her back to her Obitsu 24 body (the one she came with.) It’s 2 centimeters taller and seems to be a bit heavier.

And little Olivia, the last of the girls still in a Licca body (I do not like them) got an OB 22 body and joints and she can now tilt her head!

First official head tilt.

You look great, Livvy!

I may change out some eye chips out today. The surgery is open all weekend long.

I sort of miss Olivia being the tiniest of the girls, but darn it, she deserves a head tilt and body flexibility!

Except for some minor eye surgery, today will be reading day. I have to catch up on War and Peace, as well as read a chunk of Babel, which is getting very interesting.

Stay safe.

Happy Sunday.

Welcome!

Welcome!

I live in a little cottage in the country with my husband. It's a sweet place, sheltered by old trees and surrounded by gardens. The inside is full of the things we love. I love to write, I love my camera, I love creating, I love gardening. My decorating style is eclectic; full of vintage and a bit of whimsy.

I've worked in the theater for more years than I can count. I'm currently a voice, speech, dialect and text coach freelancing on Broadway, off Broadway, and in regional theater.

Thanks for stopping by.
