I knew I'd never see you again...

 

I started listening to Orville Peck at the beginning of the pandemic... his voice captivated me... like the siren song seduced the sailors of Ulysses. I traveled for hours listening him. To my surprise, he also appeared in a paper doll form, by Ívan García who reproduces his wonderful costumes in a cowboy chic aesthetic. 

This weekend listen to Orville Peck, visit Ívan García's website and play with paper dolls. 😍 

To the next!

Comecei a ouvir Orville Peck no início da pandemia... a voz dele cativou-me...como o canto da sereia seduziu os marinheiros de Ulisses. Viajei durante horas a ouvi-lo. Para minha surpresa também apareceu em paper doll, pela mão de Ívan García que reproduz os seus maravilhosos outfits numa estética de cowboy chic. 

Este fim de semana ouçam Orville Peck, visitem o site de Ívan García e brinquem com paper dolls. 😍 

Até à próxima!

I noticed James Dean's birthday it's today, February 8. I always found him an intriguing person....and cute.

"His very brief career, violent death and highly publicized funeral transformed him into a cult object of apparently timeless fascination."- in IMDb Mini Biography By: Ed Stephan[stephan@cc.wwu.edu]

I wont do any biography about James Dean... there's no need.

James Preston as James Dean in Matthew Mishory's Joshua Tree 1951: A Portrait of James Dean, 2012

But after seeing the movie Joshua Tree 1951: A Portrait of James Dean I searched on web and found some stories I didn't no know, but I must confess it filled my imagination... 

It doesn't admires that he once said:“I am not a homosexual. But, I'm also not going to go through life with one hand tied behind my back.”

Have you ever heard about the cat and the mouse stories between him and Marlon Brando?

"When Dean was living in NYC, studying at the Actors Studio under Lee Strasberg(...)while attending a class conducted by Marlon Brando in 1951, Dean stayed after the session to meet his idol, beginning an intense sexual affair with Marlon that lasted through the winter. Dean was completely smitten with Brando, often stalking him when Marlon was out on dates with others. Dean groomed himself to become a Brando clone, copying his walk, speech and acting style." in Gay influence.blogspot.com

There is another storie with Paul Newman(and other affairs)... Once Newman went to talk with Elvis Presley[who was considered for the part of Brick,the football buddy Skipper(Paul Newman), in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof ] and" Elvis asked about Newman’s friendship with James Dean. Newman swore that Elvis told him, “I’ll make a confession. I’m about the straightest dude that ever walked the planet. But if that f*cker ever called me, I’d come running. I guess you’d say I have an obsession with Dean.” (I should made those my own words)- in Gay influence.blogspot.com

So... enough of this, let's talk about paper dolls. Paper dolls are my business!

I found some interesting paper dolls on web that I would like to share with you here... I hope you like it.

James Dean by Jim Faraone

 This one I'm not sure but it seems to me that the artist took inspiration on James Dean.

 Percebi que o aniversário de James Dean é hoje, dia 8 de fevereiro. Não vou fazer aqui nenhuma biografia sobre James Dean... não há necessidade. Sempre o achei uma pessoa intrigante... e bonito. Depois de ver o filme Joshua Tree 1951: A Portrait of James Dean pesquisei na web e encontrei algumas histórias que não conhecia, mas confesso que encheram a minha imaginação... Não admira que ele tenha dito uma vez: “Não sou homossexual. Mas também não vou passar a vida com uma mão amarrada nas costas.” 

Já ouviu falar das histórias do gato e do rato entre ele e Marlon Brando? "Quando Dean estava morando em Nova York, estudando no Actors Studio com Lee Strasberg(...) enquanto participava de uma aula conduzida por Marlon Brando em 1951, Dean ficou após a sessão para conhecer seu ídolo, iniciando um intenso caso sexual com Marlon que durou o inverno. Dean estava completamente apaixonado por Brando, muitas vezes perseguindo-o quando Marlon estava saindo com outras pessoas. Dean se preparou para se tornar um clone de Brando, copiando seu jeito de andar, falar e agir. in Gay influence.blogspot.com 

Há outra história com Paul Newman (e outros affairs)... Uma vez Newman foi falar com Elvis Presley [que foi considerado para o papel de Brick, o amigo de futebol de Skipper (Paul Newman), em Cat on a Hot Tin Roof ] e "Elvis perguntou sobre a amizade de Newman com James Dean. Newman jurou que Elvis lhe disse: "Vou fazer uma confissão. Eu devo ser o tipo mais heterossexual que já andou no planeta. Mas se esse filha da put* me chamar... Eu vou correndo. Acho que pode dizer que tenho uma obsessão por Dean." (Eu deveria fazer essas as minhas próprias palavras)- in Gay influence.blogspot.com 

Então, chega disso, vamos falar sobre bonecas de papel. Bonecas de papel são o meu negócio! Encontrei alguns bonecos de papel interessantes na web que gosto de mostrar aqui... Espero que gostem. Até breve!

Chic wild West and more outfits

As I told you, I'll go weekly posting the "daily" results ( not daily because I can not do this every day) of the #100daysofpaperdolls challenge. This week I was inspired by the chic wild west with two shirts, two hats, a pair of tight jeans and a pair of Texas boots (I love Texans). And because the westerns are not made without Indians a complete outfit to match...and another Zorro outfit to remember the movies of my youth. 

To the next!

  Como eu vos disse, irei semanalmente postando os resultados "diários" do #100daysofpaperdolls desafio (sim, porque eu não posso fazer isso todos os dias) . Esta semana foi inspirada no oeste chic com duas camisas, dois chapéus, um par de jeans e um par de botas Texanas (eu adoro texanas). E porque o oeste não é feito sem índios um outfit completo para combinar. E outra roupa de Zorro para recordar os filmes da minha juventude. Até à próxima!

It's for the boyz and for the gals!

After the day of Kings comes the Carnival party where masquerade and colourful costumes and masks take place. 

They are  used by children and adults who don't have the possibility to use them during the rest of the year. Masquerade balls and street parades are popular this time of the year.

I'm pleased to bring to you two paper dolls with their Carnival costumes published in Diabrete #741 (1950) and #793 (1951).

A boy with costumes of  knight from the times of cover and sword romances, pirate and cowboy. The girl has two princess outfits.

  

So boys and the girls can paint, cut and play!

"One more paper doll to cut out"... with a costume of knight, pirate and cowboy

"The doll masked itself"... of princess

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

É pró menino e prá menina! 

A seguir ao dia de Reis vem aí a festa do Carnaval, onde reinam as fantasias e os disfarces, as máscaras e trajes coloridos usados por crianças e adultos que não têm a possibilidade de usar durante o resto do ano. Os bailes de máscaras e os desfiles de rua são populares nesta época do ano.

Apresento-vos duas bonecas de papel com os seus trajes de Carnaval publicadas no Diabrete nº741 de 1950 e do nº 793 de 1951 .

Um menino com um fato de cavaleiro do tempo dos romances de capa e espada, um de pirata e outro de cowboy. A menina com dois fatos de princesa. 

Para o menino e para a menina poderem pintar, recortar e brincar!
