....Ok the title is probably rather offensive but I saw the opportunity for a portmanteau and I took it, ok? Anyway, these are the dolls for the LAST TWO ROUNDS (omg I've finally seen the end of a doll challenge!) of the New-royalty Model Challenge! The first outfit is for the prompt Holidays, where we were each given a holiday to base an outfit off of. The second outfit is Happily Ever After, where we were given another Fairy Tale different from our character's to base an outfit off of.

For the first round, I was given the Jewish holiday Rosh Hashanah, or the celebration of the Jewish New Year (err, one of them at least; it's complicated and I'll link an informative web page that explains it better than I could). I did some research on the holiday (read: I googled it and read the first article that came up), and found some interesting tidbits of information about it, such as: there's no official "dress code," just don't dress up super duper fancy or super duper grungy and you'll be fine; the day is spent mostly in the Synagogue worshiping, and no work is to be done; it lasts two days; one of the foods commonly eaten during the celebration is an apple dipped in honey (yuuuummmm.....); and there's a long-standing tradition called Tashlikh where everyone puts some things (such as bread) in their pockets and heads down to a body of moving water (i.e. a river) and throws whatever is in their pockets into it as a way to symbolically cast off sins. The shofar (a trumpet-like instrument made from a ram's horn) is also sounded during this festival. A more in-depth explanation of the holiday can be found here: www.jewfaq.org/holiday2.htm
In making my symbolic outfit for Harmony, I was liberated by the lack of dress code and instead went for a simple dress and a flower crown. Instead of making an overly complicated outfit, I decided to make the different symbols of the holiday. In her outstretched hand she holds an approximation of an apple dipped in honey, while in her curled hand she holds the shokar. And at her feet is a flowing stream with bits of things inside it to symbolize Tashlikh. I greatly enjoyed learning about this holiday, and I'm proud of the design I've made!

For the last round, I went pretty simple outfit-wise with a patterned white shirt and a short red skirt. I put more effort into her facial details, where I extended her nose (someone's been ly~ing) and placed some markings around her mouth to look as if she has a nutcracker or wooden puppet's mouth (with the disattached jaw and everything). I also added a hat and some strings to her wrists. All in all I really like this round! It's simple, cute and fun! My all time FAVORITE round, however, would have to be this one: Specifically the Reef one. This is definitely one of my better dolls among the Challenge rounds I've done, and I keep coming back to it in sheer awe of how nice it looks! I've enjoyed every single round, though!
Now... did she want a summary of Pinocchio? Or The Little Mermaid? Hmm....... I suppose I'll give both:
Pinocchio in a Nutshell: This woodcarver creates a wooden boy who then terrorizes the neighborhood, kills a cricket/his conscience, has a nose that grows when he lies (so.... always), and is eventually executed. The End.
The Little Mermaid in a Nutshell: This mermaid girl goes to the surface of the ocean (probably when she's not supposed to) and happens to save a cute guy whom she become so enamored with that she gives up her tail and tongue/voice so that she can be on land with him and have legs. (FYI, when walking on said legs it feels like she's walking on sharp glass, needles, and other unpleasantly pointy things.) The thing is, dear old Princey falls in love with ANOTHER girl (another human who happens to maybe look somewhat similar to this mermaid girl???) and so Little Miss Mermaid is stuck on land forever. BUT WAIT! Her sister cut off all their hair in exchange for a knife (a much saner trade if you ask me) and tell the mer-girl that if she kills Princey-poo she gets her tail back and can be happy again. Alas, through blind infatuation true love the chick can't bear to kill this guy who scorned her (which is entirely unrealistic; if I were in her position I wouldn't hesitate to stab this guy in the back like he did to me!) and so she falls into the ocean and drowns/is turned into sea foam. The End. (Story probably retold by Resident Salt King and Son of This Version of the Little Mermaid Arion Neptune.)

...Oh, you wanted the Disney version? It goes basically like that minus the pins-and-needles part and the Prince and Mermaid living Happily Ever After. The End. ....Oh also they later had at least one kid. Named Melody. Yeah.

....I swear I'm in a good mood it's just that I can get kinda salty with fairy tales, sorry. It's probably Arion's influence.
