Call me by your name...

Just because some starlet recently said something like, "I don't want to work with ballet, opera, or things like, 'Hey, let's keep this alive, even if nobody else cares about it." 😳

I wonder to myself: why are movie theaters increasingly empty these days? IIs it because there aren't any more good films with good actors?  Or perhaps they appreciate an opera or ballet performance with real artists more?

😶 It seems someone missed a great opportunity to shut up!
 
So I want to share with you some of my favorites ballet dancers paper dolls.

Costume 2) for L'Après-midi d'un Faune (The Afternoon of a Faun) where Nijinsky plays a faun in "stained" and minimalist costume, adorned with grapes and vine leaves, was designed by Léon Bakst for the ballet's premiere in 1912. It represents a faun, a mythical creature, and is one of Nijinsky's most famous and controversial roles due to its innovative and sensual choreography and movements inspired by Greek friezes, choreographed by the dancer himself. 
 
3) This costume represents the role of Harlequin in the ballet Carnaval (1910), also with costumes by Léon Bakst. It is characterized by the colorful diamond pattern (blue and yellow in this illustration) and the white blouse with a large black bow, capturing the playful and agile nature of the Commedia dell'arte character.

4) This is one of Nijinsky's most famous costumes. In the ballet Schéhérazade (1910), he played the "Golden Slave". The costume consists of wide harem pants and a breastplate richly adorned with jewels and long strands of pearls, capturing the orientalist and exotic style that defined the Ballets Russes at that time. 

Costume 5) This costume represents the titular role in the ballet Narcisse (1911). The costume follows an Ancient Greek aesthetic, with a short white draped tunic (chiton) and ribbons (Greek-style sandals) that rise up the legs. Bakst's design sought to evoke the classical elegance and youth of the mythological character who falls in love with his own reflection.

Enjoy a ballet or an opera. See you next!

   Só porque alguém disse recentemente algo como: "Não quero trabalhar com ballet, ópera ou coisas do género: 'Ei, vamos manter isto vivo, mesmo que mais ninguém se importe'." Parece que esta pessoa perdeu uma grande oportunidade de manter a boca fechada!
Estes são os figurinos de Mikhail Baryshnikov para papéis clássicos como A Bela Adormecida e Medeia, Giselle, incluindo o icónico figurino de Albrecht. Figurinos de Dom Quixote representando o seu papel de Basílio. Figurinos de O Quebra-Nozes, onde interpretou o Príncipe, e roupa de treino, como as meias brancas e as sapatilhas de ballet clássicas. Vaslav Nijinsky e os figurinos para o bailado Le Spectre de la Rose, originalmente desenhados por Léon Bakst. O figurino 2) para L'Après-midi d'un Faune, onde Nijinsky interpreta um fauno com um traje minimalista, adornado com uvas e folhas de videira, foi desenhado por Léon Bakst para a estreia do bailado em 1912. Representa um fauno, uma criatura mítica e é um dos papéis mais famosos e controversos de Nijinsky devido à sua coreografia e movimentos inovadores e sensuais, inspirados em frisos gregos, coreografados pelo próprio bailarino. 3) Este figurino representa o papel de Arlequim no bailado Carnaval (1910), também com figurinos de Léon Bakst. Caracteriza-se pelo colorido padrão de losangos (azul e amarelo nesta ilustração) e pela blusa branca com um grande laço preto, captando a natureza lúdica e ágil da personagem da Commedia dell’arte. 4) Este é um dos figurinos mais famosos de Nijinsky. No bailado Schéhérazade (1910). O figurino é composto por calças largas de harém e um peitoral ricamente adornado com joias e longos colares de pérolas, captando o estilo orientalista e exótico que definia os Ballets Russes da época. 5) Este figurino representa o papel principal no bailado Narcisse (1911). O figurino segue uma estética da Grécia Antiga, com uma túnica branca curta drapeada (quíton) e fitas (sandálias de estilo grego) que sobem pelas pernas. O design de Bakst procurava evocar a elegância clássica e a juventude da personagem mitológica que se apaixona pelo seu próprio reflexo. Desfrute de um ballet ou de uma ópera. Até à próxima!

Moving on

 A lot has happened in the time I've been "away," but my passion for paper dolls remains intact. Even with the hustle and bustle of everyday life, I want to continue contributing to the growth of this universe and keeping you all close. I want to thank everyone who visits this blog and who, since 2008, have helped me keep this very special space alive. All of you from United States; Hong Kong; Singapore; Brazil; Germany; Spain; United Kingdom; India; Russia; Mexico; Vietnam; Malaysia; France; Poland; Denmark; Argentina; Saudi Arabia; Peru; Canada... and other places that the statistics chart doesn't show me. 

I will continue sharing my own paper dolls, here, on Pinterest and Instagram, but I will also continue looking for new artists and paper dolls that haven't been replicated on so many other blogs dedicated to the same theme. The idea is to keep this blog always fresh, curious, and inspiring. Whenever I find something interesting, I promise to bring it here. And, to brighten your day, here's a paper doll that brings together everything I've always hoped for—or wished for—in a paper doll.

Thank you for visiting. I hope to see you next time!

These are some Fallout paper doll fanarts of the character Butch Deloria. Fallout is an RPG game and has, among other forms of associated media, a comic book and a television series in production.  

Butch Deloria is a fictional character from the Fallout game series, known specifically for his appearance in Fallout 3. He is a resident of Vault 101, where the player begins his journey. Butch is a young adult who has a "complicated" relationship with the protagonist (the player) and other residents of the Vault. In the game, he is depicted as a typical bully, who tries to appear tough, but is also seen as someone who seeks approval.  

Because I'm treading strange waters, I left the link here if you want to know more about the character.

Let's focus on paper dolls.😉

 The paper doll I share is from Sarria. You can see more  Sarria's artwork here. 

These paper doll took inspiration on Dc Universe. Sarria made fanart about Jason Todd. 

Jason Todd is a character from the DC comics universe, known mainly for being the second Robin, Batman's sidekick. He was introduced in Batman #357 in 1983.

Jason Todd is a young man who has had a difficult life, having been orphaned and living on the streets before being recruited by Bruce Wayne (Batman) to become his partner. Jason Todd's story is complex, touching on themes of redemption, betrayal and the challenges of finding a balance between revenge and justice.

Jason Todd dies at the hands of the Joker. After his death, Jason was resurrected and returned as Red Hood, an antihero who often comes into conflict with Batman and other heroes, but who also fights crime in his own way.

Swift Lift

Translator
My first memory of Taylor Swift is during her acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards when it was interrupted by rapper Kanye West - an incident that sparked considerable controversy and received extensive media coverage.

 My first memory of Taylor Swift was during her speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, when she was abruptly interrupted by rapper Kanye West – an incident that sparked outrageous controversy and received widespread media coverage.

Over the following years, this controversy fueled the press and was exploited in a quintessentially American way.

Prior to this event, all I had heard about her revolved around her 
early days as a country singer...

"T-Swizzle" (
as most of her fans affectionately call her), she has since evolved into a global superstar, achieving remarkable success. This year with her The Eras Tour, which has had a significant economic impact wherever she performed giving rise to the expression “Swift lift”.

However, I won’t delve into that topic here. Paper dolls is my business!

Taylor's beauty, combined with her fabulous fashion looks, dresses, gowns, and outfits, certainly makes her an ideal subject for the world of paper dolls.

If you search online, you'll find various paper doll art featuring Taylor Swift, but who can style young pop stars better than Julia Murray?(I love her art work)

Previously, I shared Julia's fantastic art work on a paper doll inspired by Harry Styles' incredible wardrobe.

The Dress Up Taylor paper doll book features one doll and twelve of Taylor Swift's most iconic outfits. Published by Smith Street Books, it is available for purchase at several online sites. 

Here’s a sneak peek for you...

A minha primeira memória de Taylor Swift foi durante o seu discurso nos MTV Video Music Awards de 2009, quando foi abruptamente interrompida pelo rapper Kanye West – um incidente que gerou uma controvérsia convulsiva e recebeu uma ampla cobertura mediática. Nos anos seguintes, esta controvérsia alimentou a imprensa e foi explorada à boa maneira americana. Antes deste evento, tudo o que tinha ouvido falar sobre ela era sobre seus primeiros tempos como cantora country... "T-Swizzle" (como a maioria dos seus fãs carinhosamente a chama) evoluiu desde então para uma super-estrela global, alcançando um sucesso notável. Este ano com a sua The Eras Tour teve um impacto económico significativo onde se apresentou, dando origem à expressão “Swift lift”. Contudo, não me aprofundarei aqui neste assunto. Os bonecos de papel são o meu negócio! A beleza de Taylor, combinada com os seus looks, vestidos e roupas fabulosas, fazem dela um tema ideal para o universo das bonecas de papel. Se pesquisar online, encontrará muitas bonecas de papel com Taylor Swift, mas quem consegue estilizar jovens estrelas pop melhor do que Julia Murray? (adoro o trabalho dela) Anteriormente, partilhei a fantástica arte da boneca de papel de Julia, inspirada no incrível guarda-roupa de Harry Styles. O livro Dress Up Taylor Paper Doll apresenta uma boneca e doze dos looks mais icónicos de Taylor Swift. Publicado pela Smith Street Books, está disponível para compra em vários sites online. Aqui está uma amostra para vocês... Sintam-se à vontade para partilhar as vossas criações de paper dolls, deixar comentários e obrigado pela visita! Até à próxima!

The artist behind Calendar boy

Lance Rayburn by Carl Davis in TWT, sep/85

Over the past few weeks, we've shared Lance Rayburn's paper dolls illustrated for TWT Magazine: This Week in Texas with the main theme being the Mr. Texas winners from the first contest edition in 1974 until 1985. 

Who is the artist behind these Mr. Texas paper dolls? Lance Rayburn (1957-) is the artist who created this series of paper dolls published in TWT magazine throughout 1986. In the interview he gave to TWT magazine (September/85) he presents himself as a fan of pink, Barbie and Ken, Tom Selleck, comics and paper dolls. He began drawing and collecting paper dolls as a child. In his apartment, it must have looked like an Alibaba cave for paper doll collectors, there was a wardrobe full of boxes of paper dolls collected over the years. At around age 24, he began drawing his own paper dolls. In addition to Mr. Texas also drew personalities from the world of cinema, music, fashion, friends and real people, among others.

 "Paper doll collectors are pretty much pack rats." Lance Rayburn 

 The release Beyond Mr. Texas also designed personalities from the world of cinema, music, fashion, among others... We share here the paper doll Terry Tebedo (1949-1988), activist, fighter and defender of human rights and the LGBT community. If you're interested, you can read more about Terry by clicking here...

This was a beautiful tribute to these men who lived their lives intensely, breaking the barriers of prejudice, fighting for human rights.

Nas últimas semanas temos partilhado as paper dolls de Lance Rayburn, desenhadas para a revista TWT: this week in Texas como tema principal os vencedores do Mr. Texas, desde o primeiro concurso em 1974 até 1985.Quem é o artista por detrás destas bonecas de papel do Mr. Texas? Lance Rayburn (1957- ) é o artista que desenhou esta série de paper dolls para a revista TWT ao longo do ano de 1986. Na entrevista que concedeu à revista TWT (Set/85) apresenta-se como fã de cor-de-rosa, da Barbie e do Ken, de Tom Selleck, de banda desenhada e paper dolls. Lance começou a desenhar e a colecionar paper dolls desde criança. No seu apartamento,que devia parecer a caverna do Ali Baba para os colecionadores de bonecas de papel, havia uma sala com um armário cheio de caixas com paper dolls. Por volta dos 24 anos começou a desenhar os seus próprios paper dolls.
