Midway through face-upping my Benedict Cumberbatch MNM - another one where the sculpt really dictates what I try to do, I think I love face-upping more realistic sculpts; just for the bone structure!!

After he's done I'll be working on my RS Lian - it'll be interesting to see how different the techniques needed are, since her face is fairly flat cheekbone/temple-wise

AAHAAAAA!!!! I was right. I saw your cool pictures in the gallery and was all like, "nooo wayyy, is that a Cumberbatch doll head? Epic!" Indeed it is. Very nice.

Mace sounds good. He wouldn't figure it out, though.

I know what you mean about the snow. We're supposed to get that, too. I hate the cold weather. I have to use my inhaler almost every time i go outside to walk.

Banana Boy at the office was really weird today. I'm not EVER going to be the next pin up girl, but today was especially creepy. Every time I got something from the printer, he would massage his mustache and undress me with his eyes. I told him he was a f*****ng perv and to keep his eyes on his work. So he would lean over his desk to leer into my cubicle. I really thought about hitting him, or maybe putting his head through the wall. He tripped out my fight or flight reflexes. All I could do was leave the supervisor an email because she was gone today and all next week for jury duty. I told security but they acted like it was my fault. (I don't flirt and I don't ever talk to anyone, ever.) I really hate men at times (excluding my husband). Although my husband did offer to pin Banana Boy up against a wall sometime and have a 'talk' with the freak.

Start dropping hints about a sexual harassment lawsuit...even if you would never do it, just saying those words will get people's attention. If that doesn't work...have hubby visit you at work.

Can you film him being a weirdo?

Hehe! Thanks!

Also: Random thing - I've just spent a good half hour searching for lost things, found 2/3 of the missing items plus one I'd forgotten was lost... But then remembered 3 more vanished things... sigh

In searching for the charger for my camera, I found a box with unused Hello Kitty valentine day's cards. o.O I guess no one checked behind that drawer since I was in elementary school.

I would love to except for the fact that no one is allowed to have cameras or cell phones in the building anymore. I may have hubby come to my office to say hi. He has a meeting in my building on Monday, anyway.

Good thing I had to meed up with a friend to give her the puki she bought from me, because both of us drove more than an hour to attend an Atlanta area doll show only to find out when we got to the hotel that it had been cancelled - a week ago - and the website wasn't updated!! While we talked and made new plans no less than 30 people came in for the show only to be turned away. A family arrived who drove all the way from Alabama just for the show .... Someone has some explaining to do with that organization ....

My goodness, that's horrible. Especially given the cost of gas and travel, that really put some people out and ruined a weekend to boot.





Something new to add to my list of cultural experiences: Saturday night I attended a Sudanese wedding celebration. I think that we were invited to day two of three. It was incredible! There was an awesome buffet of goat, roast chicken and beef, hummus, some feta-filled bread things, pasta, babaganouch, salad, etc. There was dancing. Hours of dancing! I learned some Sudanese dance-moves. The guys had this particular hand motion that they were doing between the groom and whoever was congratulating him at the time. Lots of fingers snapping in the air. I danced with the ladies until my feet were numb. They tended to get in little circles and all dance together, girls on one side, men on the other. Some husbands and wives danced together, that was cute. The guys would put someone in the middle of their group and all drop lower and lower while the person in the middle danced, I mean they went to town man, then they'd all jump up and hoorah, and then stick someone else in the middle. Generally it was the groom or his father. Sometimes it was the wait-staff. LOL They were trying to clear tables and do their jobs but everyone kept pulling them into the celebration. So the wait staff got to eat dinner at the buffet and they all got to dance. The ladies covered their mouths and did this high-pitched "ledeledeledeyoooo" thing. No idea what it's called. One would start then a bunch of them would chorus together.
Most of the wedding party and most of the women wore henna tattoos. The gowns, oh man! Every woman there was wearing something with sparkles. Most women wore the hijab and sari-like wraps that went around like a Sari but then continued around the front and over their heads. The younger girls (teens) wore ball gowns with long-sleeved shirts underneath, some were completely western with no head coverings. It was an interesting mix. Lots of the men were in traditional Muslim garb and had the robe, scarf, little round hat, some wore turbans. The Sudanese men were all very proud of their shoes; they had cobra skin, leopard skin, python skin shoes made in Sudan. They were darn proud of those things so I'm assuming it's an expensive shoe. The bride had this big gold headdress and a very African-style red gown with a shoulder-scarf wrap thing, and the groom wore a white robe and scarf, had this little red silk headband with a crescent on it. During the ceremony they put some sort of oils on his head, he'd stand up and spray everyone with perfume, there was incense, they drank milk, more perfume was sprayed(there was lots of that) and then cookies n' sweets were passed out to all the guests as they left. We shut the party down around 1:30 in the morning.
