Here’s something to keep you busy until Episode VII: The Force Awakens!

Star Wars: The Complete Vader is an excellent coffee table book from Random House at a bargain price!

There are plenty of glossy images, pullouts and keepsakes with a surprisingly thorough text, so even hardcore Star Wars fans should see or read something new 🙂

A heartily recommended time waster.

Vogue’s Enchanted Dolls

Marina Bychkova’s strange and beautiful dolls in a shoot for the Japanese edition of Vogue Beauty, December 2012.

Take that Tiny Tears!

Dutch Fashion Doll World

These images I found in the Japanese Vogue Beauty Dec. As a sill stylist myself I was blown away by the beauty of these images. Who were these dolls. They are so mystical, so Haute Couture (even though they are nude).

The creator of these dolls is Marina Bychkova and she is an amazing artist. Her dolls are so refined.

For more of her work you really have to visit her website. http://www.enchanteddoll.com

She also made a book it’s called the Enchanted Doll Book.

Unfortunately the first and second edition is sold out.

So hopefully they are going to make a edition because I so want this book.

But for now I have my Japanese Vogue
