A new member of the doll theater was hired recently: The Artist Davinia, a non articulated Painter and stage designer. She´s a bit rough and straight forward , but a nice person, if you know her better.

Davinia is new

 

 

 

 

 

The Miss Ghastly made their own corner as dark and gloomy as possible this year and were ready to quarrel like every Christmas- But then something unexpected happend:

They finally found a friend, with whom they can share their liking of darkness and gloomy things: Thekla the witch, who is now guest with her dragon Draco at the dusty room of Eve and Angeline. And uses some descret magic, to prevent the sisters from fighting again.

Gastlys wanted her room gloomy Ghastlys finally found a friend

 

 

 

 

 

And while Angeline recites dark and sadly lyrics, the other girls have fun with excellent sweets and good wine.

Angeline recites gloomy lyrics

 

 

 

 

Delicious cakes

 

 

 

Helena thinks about learning to play the trumpet.

Helena thinks about learning the trumpet

 

 

 

 

 

And some other girls meet in the notorious “cozy corner”, where they can gossip on soft sheep furs…

Girls meet to change news

 

 

 

 

 

“Have you seen Midnights gown and hat? What happened to her? She seems to have changed her style completely!”

“She has a personal style coach now! That woman did wonders on her”

Have you seen Midnights new style

“She lookes like a complete different person!”

 

She has a style coach now

 

 

 

 

 

But outside in the cold is someone….Watching the girls celebrate….

But there is someone outside

 

 

 

Someone lonely  with yearning eyes,who wants to go in and find some friends and a new home.

Someone without a home This someone is watching

But that´s not quite easy…

A Man

 

“There´s someone outside! I think it´s a man!”

Girls in riot

 

 

 

“WHAT?” The girls are upset!

Have you heard, what they said

 

 

 

“Have you heard? They say, there´s a man outside!”

“Another one?”

Its true, there´s a man

 

 

 

 

“It´s true! There IS a Man!”

I thought men were extiinct

“I thought men were extinct…Except Edward of course!”

I could terminate him with witchcraft

 

 

 

 

“I could use my witchcraft on him!”

No, it could be Mortimer

“No! Please don´t! It could be Mortimer!”

Is he dressed this time 1

 

 

 

 

 

” I hope, he´s dressed this time!”

Please, not another one

 

 

 

 

 

“Oh PLEASE! Not another one! Isn´t Edward enough?

But Edward thinks a bit different about the situation and decides, to go outside and talk to the stranger.

OK feller who are you

 

 

 

“Who are you and what are you doing here?  Are you a kind of Peeping Tom?”

“No! I swear, I´m not! My name is Lee and I´m desperately in search of a new employment…”

“According to the jacket you wear, your last employment must have been a circus!”

“I´m a fashion designer!”

“Well….that explaines everything…You should better come inside. We already have a fashion designer named Elsa. She takes care for the girls theater costumes. But maybe she needs someone to help her….”

This is Lee

 

 

 

“Girls, we have an unexpected guest. His name´s Lee and he´s a fashion designer!”

Why should he stay

 

 

 

“But Elsa is our designer…We don´t need another one!”

But Lee won´t give up that easy!

Please let me stay

 

 

 

 

 

“Please! Don´t throw me out! I´m lonesome and homeless!”

I die out in the cold

“I´ll freeze to death, if you send me back on the streets!”

Hes a very good actor

 

 

 

 

“Now look at him! What an excellent breakdown! He seems not only to be a fashion designer, but a very good actor too!”

Lets keep him

 

 

 

 

“But would it be wise, to have another man here?”

“He looks, as if he ran away from a traveling circus! Have you seen his jacket and hairstyle?”

Ineed a male friend

 

 

 

 

“Oh, come on girls! I like all of you very much, but I feel a bit lonely among so many women! I need a male friend at my side! I know, he looks a bit strange, but that can be changed in time!”

So What, lets keep hin

 

 

 

 

“So what! Let´s keep him for a while…And if we don´t like him, we can throw him out later! And we shouldn´t forget: It´s Christmas!”

You really let me ytay

 

 

 

 

“You mean, I can stay?”

Glad you´re here girls are nice but just girls

 

 

 

 

 

“For the moment. And maybe forever, but the girls will watch you closely. So be careful, what you do…

What will happen to Lee?

We don´t know the future. But for now, he´s safe and warm at the doll theater. And the girls are self-satisfied with their generosity…..

Merry Christmas

 

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS 2018!

 

This time everyting went wrong. I had planed to provide the set a few days before Christmas, but never had the time. So I had to do in a grreat hurry within a few hours at the day before the holiday.

And I cheeted a bit about Lees arrival. Actually, he came month before Christmas, but I never made it , to set up a storyline for him.

The story also had to be very short and I needed so much time for the set´s providing, that I could only shoot after it got dark outside.

Therefore, the pictures are a bit greay. But I did my best, as always…
