Scotch, dancing and rainbow coloured bracelets

So, I decided to friend lock my journal. While I don't usually care what people say (since I figure no one is interested), there ave been some people who have added me that I don't really care for, and I want to say f-u to them.

So, from now on, comment here if you want to be added. Tell me how I know you and from where.

This journal also has a few filters:
Dolls
Gaia
Close friends

With the exception of close friends, let me know if you need to be in one of the filters.

So, we've all heard of Mijn Schatje?

Well, I hadn't until last weekend when she was brought to my attention through a doll forum. One of the users through her art looked a lot like specific ball joint dolls.

Turns out that she's been tracing the faces of these collectible dolls. Some of the pictures are so damning that people have proven eyelashes and strands of hair to match up.

But it gets better...

Turns out that she's lifted the rest of her 'art' as well, tracing poses from Audrey Kawasaki, taking clip art (Dover perhaps), random internet pictures and copying Totoro from studio Ghibli.

More information is here: http://www.radiotrash.org/mijn/


The users of two well know doll forums (Den of Demons and Den of Angels) have been getting in contact with the doll companies, galleries where this 'work' is shown and magazines that have published articles on this 'artist'. So please don't send these people an angry email, the last thing we want is for people not to take us seriously.

For those of you as disgusted by this as I am then you can help spread the word through DA, Twitter, LJ, art communities or Facebook.

The twitter message and tag is:
Artist Mijn Schatje seems to be no more than just a lowly art thief, what are your thoughts? http://tinyurl.com/l4vy5m #mijnschatjetheft
(Just need to remove the spaces)

The Facebook group is:

Another way to help is to find the original source pictures of anything that you think might be stolen and send the image(s) to the contact email on the information page set up.

Doll Meet

We'll be meeting at Berri-UQAM at 1:15 and deciding what we'd like to have the location there. Since some of you won't have bus passes we can meet inside at the round thing so no one will need to waste a ticket getting in.

I'll be sending you guys a PM just to remind everyone where we'll be meeting a couple of days before.

Doll meet is going to be Sunday May 3rd.

Will be poking those of you who don't say anything in the next little while.

Not sure about a location but if it's raining I was thinking Universite de Montreal if  we could get it, otherwise maybe someplace out doors? Hate to be cliche, but we can do the botanical garden if it's nice, seems to be a yearly spring tradition.

If we keep the meet small I might be able to suggest my place, but it's not really all that central for most people.

So, suggestions on locations will be welcome. =D

Last call for the Dollmore order.
Going to be placing the order on Friday probably, and so far only Lochness has stuff.
(Lochness I'll send you a PM on DOA with the amount and shipping and my paypal.)

Got it...


I also got pinkies
