Latest Dolls

Most of my recent dolls have been for contests or projects, so I haven't thought of actually posting them here. That's changing now *evil laugh*.

First, my entry for the Miss Fairytale Pageant at Fairytopia.


Base 1 Base 2

She's my version of Little Red Riding Hood. I really love the way her outfit came out, and both of the bases were a pleasure to work on.


Base

My entry to Miss Doll International. She's Miss Belarus, and this is her in an evening gown inspired by the Acai berry. All of the MDI rounds have been fun to do, and it's been fun to design her outfits. I'm sad it's done.


Base

My example doll for a tutorial for Bat Wings Tutorial I'm writing. Her spots were hard, but lots of fun.
She's a cat/bat hybrid from Pellistair, but instead of being shy and reclusive, she flaunts her unusualness.

And finally:

Base ! Base 2

My Muse! Dollers have a tradition of dolling their muses (and anything else that stands still long enough. Or things that don't stand still). It figures that my muse would be scaly and wear historical clothing. And wear big black boots.

Song of the Week #8 - Anything for You

This is the first song I ever heard by Evanescence. It's not one of their better known songs, since it comes off of a concept album (Not for Your Ears) , which is nearly impossible to find.

Since it's off of a concept album, there is no official music video for it.



I found the song while looking for videos set to "I'd do Anything by" Simple Plan. Needless to say, I ended up liking "Anything for You" much better than "I'd do Anything", which is sweet, but nowhere near the same level that "Anything For You" is on.

Misheard song lyrics

I've had a wonderful time this morning browsing through The Archive of Misheard Lyrics. Ever since I was 5 and sang Madonna's "Material Girl" as "Cheerio Girl", I have had a great fondness for misheard song lyrics. My favorites from this site are:

Human League: Don't You Want Me
The real lyrics are:
Don't you want me baby.
Don't you want me oooooh

Misheard lyrics:
Don't chew on me baby.
Don't chew on me oooowww

I literally collapsed in laughter after reading this one.

Elton John: Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting
The real lyrics are:
I've had it with your discipline

Misheard lyrics:
I've had it with your Death Star plan.

Billy Joel: Piano Man
The real lyrics are:
The piano, it sounds like a carnival.

Misheard lyrics:
The piano, it sounds like a power mower.

I think the misheard lyrics are better.

This next one's a bit off-color, but still funny.
Billy Joel: We Didn't Start the Fire
The real lyrics are:
We didn't start the fire.

Misheard lyrics:
We didn't fart, you liar.

Village People: In The Navy
The real lyrics are:
In the Navy

Misheard lyrics:
Ukulele

I like to sing that version whenever I hear that song.

Police: King Of Pain
The real lyrics are:
It's my destiny to be the King of Pain

Misheard lyrics:
It's my destiny to be the King of Spain

I always picture Sting dressed up like a king whenever I read this one.

Police: Message In A Bottle
The real lyrics are:
Message in a bottle

Misheard lyrics:
Knickers in a parcel

Police: Message In A Bottle
The real lyrics are:
Woke up this morning, can't believe what I saw.
Hundred million bottles washed up on the shore.

Misheard lyrics:
Woke up this morning, can't believe what I saw.
Hundred million bathtubs washed up on the shore.

As you can see, the Police don't ennunciate very well. My friend and I once had a discussion as to what was being said in "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic". Were the lyrics "Even though my life with her is tragic, Still I know my love for her goes on", or "Even though my life before was tragic, Still I know my love for her goes on"? We finally gave up trying to figure out what he was saying.

If you have any misheard song lyrics, I'd love to hear them!
