Beach Day

Gus brought his cousin to the beach, and the sunscreen stealing rowdiness has begun, before they’ve even hit the sand! 🤪 Happy First Day of Summer to all of you in the Northern Hemisphere!

Man of Style

Gus, here, is aiming to be “the most stylish guy in town,” for the #adriandollslifekenchallenge, celebrating Ken’s 60th anniversary!The initial clothing collection, created for Ken in 1961, was a study in classic menswear! Gus hopes to capture a similar timelessness with his look today, but with a generous helping of his own sense of sprezzatura. Thank you to @adrian.dollslife, for providing fabulous inspiration, with this months’ photo theme: The Most Stylish Guy in Town!!

Nothin' but Country

Gus is heading off to give his pony, Barry, a workout. One shiny red apple and a point of country cred, for every item you can name, that Gus is bringing with him, including what could be in the spray bottle! I’m thrilled to be joining in @bella_belladoll ‘s #monday4dolls Instagram photography theme, this week: Countryside! 


Now, who’s giving who the workout? A big thank you to everyone who left such nice comments, and played the name/guessing game on Instagram, with Gus’ horse supplies yesterday!! You all are awesome!!

Gus' Comp Card

I’ve been really enjoying all the wonderful yearbook style photos people have been sharing here, for the Instagram #dollstagramyearbook2021 by @myfroggystuff ! So, I’m joining in, last minute, with Gus’ comp card pics, featuring a very academic main photo, inspired by some of my old school portrait experiences! 😆 A comp card is like a fashion model’s personal brochure or business card, usually with a portrait on one side, and a gallery with stats on the other. A whole collection of comp cards starts to look a lot like a school yearbook, so I thought this was a perfect opportunity to make one for Gus.

Resort Shirt Pattern

 I’m excited to announce, I just finished creating a digital sewing pattern for Gus’ breezy oversized resort shirt, in two styles, just in time for hot weather!! This one is big enough to fit all Kens, and probably Fashion Royalty boys too! You can find it at the Tiny Apparel Pattern Shop!!
