Vermont Doll Lovers meetup, 12/17/2016

Total attendees = 5. Despite some intense snow, a large number of us [large number for Vermont =P ] braved winter weather for VTDL yesterday. With FEAST as a theme, all the dolls gathered together to snack, socialize, and generally party. Pictures below. Click any to enlarge.


Party with just some of the guests. Back row, left to right: Volks SD Graffiti Jun Tachibana, Volks Date [seated, behind Araminthe], Volks Tony [with eye patch], Volks Hijikata [seated to Tony's right], Volks DWC 01 [standing, in grey strapless dress], Volks Chiyo [seated, behind Thalia]. Middle and front rows, left to right: Araminthe [pink hair, B&G Dolls Burrysa snarling], Custom House Sariel and Uriel [toddlers in center, one with back to camera, one in chair], Thalia [in striped hat, IOS Infernale head on Angelsdoll girl massive body], Lalaloopsy [in green chair], Polly [in black wheelchair, Elfdoll Doona Kathlen head on Asleep Eidolon mature 1:6 scale mermaid body], Timonium [red hair, Soom Auber]. Volkses, Custom Houses, and Lalaloopsy belong to Lyrajean. Araminthe, Thalia, Polly, and Timonium belong to me. Beanie Baby cats from Lyrajean station themselves front and center, begging in true feline fashion. :p

Party after a few more small populations have joined. New attendees, from left to right: Fairyland LittleFee Chloe [with stocking], Dream of Doll Petsha [gingerbread sweater], Dollzone Brant [with pie], Volks Yo-SD Kira [far right, reading]. Fairyland and DOD belong to Bittersweet Blue, Dollzone to the Fey Lady, Volks to Lyrajean.
Booze was a popular commodity. Polly discovered a taste for Bud Light. Timonium could not decide which brand to hit.

Wine or root beer? Hijikata faced a dilemma.

Chiyo guarded the bourbon.

Date hoarded caffeine and carbonation in preparation for drinking it all and then burping the entire alphabet in Japanese.

Jun had a stocking to hang...

...But then Chloe got a hold of the sock...

...And the kids confiscated the bears. Conversation: "Can I have a teddy?" / "But then I can't be Goldilocks and the Three Bears!"

Small-scale dolls joined with others of their size. 1:6 scale scratch-built OOAK BJDs Russell [in green chair] and Lucy [holding rabbit] arrived late, along with their owner DragonGems. Timonium compared his sweater to Russell's and declared his own to be worse.

As Polly nursed her Bud, Timonium contemplated harder stuff with which to drown his sorrows.

Russell and Lucy regarded the increased consumption of alcohol nervously.

Bittersweet Blue's Obitsu Nano Haruka head on Azone Pure Neemo body was not interested in drinks when there was a toy chest to poke through.
Brant chilled out with his new friend the cherry pie...

...Then stuffed it into his face.

The Koolvord Room has chains on the walls from which art exhibits can hang. After years of suffering with them as annoying background elements in our photos, we finally decided to incorporate them in our shots. Petsha was the doll unlucky enough to fit my handcuffs, so she was imprisoned.

We were mean. We separated her from her Dunkin.
Araminthe advertised her general opinion on this whole "Christmas" thing.

"Ugh, why would you bring nature inside?!"
Future meetups: 1/14 12-3 PM [note earlier start time], 2/11 1-4 PM.
