Tina and Sonia discover the world (phicen minis)

poppy70 · Post by **poppy70** » Tue Nov 24, 2020 10:53 am

Hello,

recently I fell down the 6th scale rabbit hole and two beautiful girls arrived at my doorstep.
My quest who and how and where started in this thread, but the girls will have their own space here.
So here are Sonia a Phicen S17B and Tina a S34 as they arrived:

They were quite busy reading TDF and the other minis threads and decided to discover my appartment.
It's been in the kitchen where I caught them.

Do you think this is one of the espresso machines we've read about?
No I don't think so, because it looks completely different.
But it has some coffee bean symbol on it and there is a cup standing there.

Look closer, I am feeling the heat of the machine
A green light, what might it be good for?

Coffee...

Girls, could you please give me my coffee?

Why?

Are you sure it's your coffee?

Oh, nevermind...

And then Tina decided to model a little for me. Sonja had my her coffee.

Some technical info - made with an Fuji X-T3 and the 90mm F2 lens. Love it because it is a beautiful portrait lens.

As I mentioned in the other thread, I like their outfits

And the pictures are very good too

I like the ones where Tina is leaning at that rock best.

I hope Sonja didn't drink that whole cup, because then she'll be bouncing off the walls for a considerable time.

Hello Kim,

thank you for the compliments. Tina is cute as a button and photogenic as well.
I put down the tights, because Tina has beautiful legs and feet to show.

And I am afraid Sonia had the whole cup. Will see how long she will take to finally fall asleep. I still hear her running around.

Hopefully this lesson will sink in.

They sure are cuties! Watch out for their curiosity with the coffee machine though. It wouldn't take much for Wolferich's Ernie and Bert to send some mischief over to your place. I keep mine unplugged!

Beautiful pictures and don't worry, Ernie and Bert only know about Nespresso machines.

I believe that all 1/6 and 1/12 minis have one thing in common: they are all drawn to cooking and coffee machines

. Could make a good theme for the photo contest, don't I think it's already been done?

Your little ladies look splendid in your photos. Nice work Poppy70.

The girls wanted to model for me today. No story, just some nice photos.
Still fighting with Sonias hair. It is not as soft and fine as is Tinas. So here we go.

Tina with her default outfit - the bikini:

And then Sonia did not want to put on her skimpy bikini, as she does not like it that much. Instead she asked, if she could borrow Tinas little black dress...

And for the curious a behind the scenes shot. The toothbrush is for combing the fine hair, a self made reflector from aluminium foil and cardboard and an infinity cove for the background. Plain and simple all on the window sill.

This is a good setup.

I can't keep up with my Iphone.

Great photos.
I like threads that have the "mini doll" exploring the house theme.
The house looks so different when seen through the eyes of a mini doll.

Controlling phicen hair is a continuous challenge.
I only have Giorgi and her hair is super stiff.
When she is clean (and tacky), stray hairs stick everywhere.
I can powder her, but for close up photography the powder looks like boulders on her skin.
She may be getting a haircut one day, because the hair down to her waist is just too much to handle.

Thanks,
scooter

It is the photographer, who makes the photos, the camera only helps.
And an iPhone is quite capable of making good photos.
Your stories with the girls are so much fun... lets see what my girls will come up next.

Oh yes the hair is quite a challenge. Today I gave Sonia a makeover with hot steam and a lot of the curls and frizz are gone. Together with the fabric softener the hair is now less stubborn but still not easy to work with. But it‘s always fun and easy to work with the minis.

Wonderful pics again

It's a shame that the bikini doesn't last. Allison* had a wardrobe malfunction with it:

*she's the same as your Tina
