Super-special thanks to Mia for the awesome shirt Jerolyn is wearing in these photos — it resembles a strait jacket and fits his personality perfectly. He always seems to have such confidence in himself, but I don’t doubt that a time will come when that faith is utterly shaken. Jer’s another damaged angel, only he doesn’t realize how little it will take to drive him over the edge.
I have some older photos of Justyn as a cowboy (he’ll probably always be a cowboy to me, because he looks so damn sexy like that), but the arrival of his long blonde LeekeWorld wig prompted a new round of photos. Most likely this will end up being his “default” look, perhaps even more than his original short flippy wig. He is, of course, a natural bishounen, so he needs a long, flowing ponytail.
This is also part of the Kou outfit, a shirt which reminds me of the clothing style of the Matrix, in the “real world”. Maybe it’s just the shirt fabric. Anyway, this is the photo shoot that I used for the new layout, as you can see. I like my Jer casual, yes I do.
The auctions for Jerolyn’s head and body ended one right after the other, and I was surprised that his head ended for so relatively low a price (15,500 yen). I had fully expected it to go for at least twice that. Luckily for me, it didn’t, and there was also a really nifty outfit by Kou ending right after that… so I took a chance and won it at a very nice price as well. Wearing the hood up makes Jerolyn look a bit like a Jedi.
Extra bit of trivia: the last photo is the first (and only) doll photo I’ve ever posted where I used a tripod. I’m completely not used to that, hence the strange angle, and the immediate return to my normal hand-held methods.
Justyn never wears that vest anymore anyway, so Jerolyn stole it. He has such a young look to him that dressing up makes him seem more innocent somehow. I would have liked to put the tuxedo jacket on him as well, but those darn Volks SD13 boy hand sculpts are too wide for the narrower CustomHouse sleeves. Alas.
