Mattress Testing

So, during the photo shoot last weekend, I set up about a million shots of the bedroom set I showed yesterday:



It was a great excuse to pull out (and knock over. and swear at.) a lot of the rement pieces I rarely get to use. Like I said, I haven't done a photo shoot like this in months, and there's no real reason for me to use rement in my work pics, so my teeny props have been getting dusty!

Here's a closer look at the desk:

I really love that little mirrored vanity jewelry box thingy, and all the teeny bottles of lotions and potions-- well, that's how you get hooked on rement in the first place, right? Well, that and the liquor! ;P Hmm. I'm trying to remember the first rement piece that sent me scurrying to find out what rement was. I can't remember! I'll keep thinking. Anyone else remember? I'd be curious to know.

So anyhow, I rarely do bedroom scenes, so, I hardly ever get to use all the bedroomy stuff. Since this is a bedroom desk, I got to use some of the cool officey stuff, too. Yay! (You can click on the photos to make them bigger, though I'm sure everyone probably knows that.)

This shoot also gave me a chance to use something else I don't use often-- pajamas! I actually have a lot of pj's, I'm not sure why. They were kind of a rare and wonderful thing when I was little, so it's cool to have them now! I picked a few of my favorite dolls, so I could model a variety of people on the bed.

Shall we see what some of the gang wears to bed?

Well, we've already seen Joey Joe. But let's look again, huh?

Boxers and a tshirt. You can't really see the boxers, but they're cool. I think they're vintage. (Once I bought this lot of vintage Barbie accessories from someone of etsy. They were kinda slow shipping out my package, and as an apology, they sent me this huge ziplock bag of vintage barbie robes and things. It was awesome. It's where a lot of my pajamas came from. And these boxers.)

Joey's also sporting some dorky socks to match his dorky glasses. But hey, that's kinda cute. He's like a buff nerd. Like Dean Cain when he played Clark Kent.

 Hubba Hubba Hubba. Yes, that's three hubbas.  
Now you know my weakness. Dean Cain is my Kryptonite. sigh.

Moving on.


So, does anyone recognize Annabel's nightgown? It's a Barbie nightgown from the 80's. I used to have it when I was little, which is why I forced her to wear it. This is definitely not her style. But, hey, if she's going to wear those pigtails, she needs to expect this sort of thing. She's a model. She can handle it.

For some reason, I thought it could be really easy to find a stock photo of this nightgown. I guess because it seems so super familiar to me.But, it turns out there were a lot of pink barbie nightgowns. Shocking, right? Whatev.  This one is the best by about a million. And it looks waaaaaaay cuter on a momoko than it ever looked on one of my Barbies, lol. 

Heading to the opposite end of the lingerie store, here's Erin:


I think she looks pretty happy in this skimpy little thing. Well, as happy as a Fashion Royalty doll can look, anyway. Just kidding. Erin and I have kind of bonded. After I put her hair in a ponytail, I kind of like her a lot more. She looks more insecure & less bitchy.

This sexy thing came from the same apology bag as Joey Joe's boxers. It has no markings, but I guess it was intended for Barbie. Though it seems pretty hot stuff for her. I had to pin it in the back, since FRs are kinda bony, but it wasn't crazy big. Anyone recognize it? This is definitely what Erin is wearing to bed.

One more.











Oh yeah. 

Honestly? Does this surprise anyone? Blaine wears speedos. Yes, they're actually the bottom half of the Barbie Joe Boxer set, and they fit absolutely none of my girls. Not even close. What style Barbie was that outfit intended for? But really, who cares?  They look much better on Blaine.

LOL. Can you believe I was ever going to reroot this guy as a brunette? Man, he showed me. He's one of my go to guys now,  flaunting his mop of blond hair. Oh well. Maybe one day I'll find another guy to reroot.


Well, that's it for tonight! Hope you enjoyed seeing everyone in their underwear!

  1. This is just too cute and creative! I just started getting into making dolly furniture, and my next idea was to make a bed, but I just haven’t figured out if I want to make it a queen size or a twin size. I really love the desk too! :)

  2. Yeah Blaine was born to be a blond, baby. He is bringing the sexy in those briefs!

    Any plan to sell the desk alone? I hope you know you are blowing all my "year of thrifty doll collecting" plans.

  3. Hey, In a Dolly's World, welcome to the blog! I saw your stone furniture in your recent post, that paint is really cool! I've done a lot of sort of "grownup" bedrooms recently. so I thought a younger one would be a fun switch. I think it goes especially well with the momoko girls. :) Good luck with your bed.

    Haha, Dani, you would be his biggest fan! Somehow, they just suited him. :P Yeah, separate desks are a possibility for sure. Probably next year, when I have more time. If it's something you're really into though, you can email me about a commission. :)

    Oh, and btw, furniture (and clothes & accessories & cars & stuff) totally doesn't count as doll collecting! Only dolls count! That helps, doesn't it? ;)

  6. Awesome! I'm totalyy raring to start a dolly bedroom project now! And Momoko looks so cute in that nightie ^-^

  7. I love that the bedroom has a baseboard all around. Nice detail.

    FR and NuFace dolls are supposed to look haughty and arrogant. It's in their contract.

    I don't recognize Annabel's nightgown, but she looks adorable in it.

    Ah, Joey is still infatuated with those eyeglasses? Reading in bed, hmmm?

    Blaine seems to enjoy the mattress the most. Even his feet are extended out.

    Seems the mattress is a winner.
