BPC 40

I am a member of The Blythe Physical Challenge Group and thus far, I have completed every single durn challenge. Most of the time, I would say about 95% of the time, I do not have an opportunity to complete the challenge until the last possible day and then my big plans go sideways. So I thought I would start keeping track of where things go wrong.

Challenge #40: Blythe is Scared to Death!

I could not think of anything, maybe one doll chasing another in a mask or something. Then I remembered I had a Revoltech Jason Voorhees! Great! I scouted around and in the parking lot of a crappy store, I saw the perfect site. Under a parking lot light, a little puddley from the recent rain, a bunch of abandoned furniture and construction debris piled up, it would be great. I didn't have time until Friday, of course, but Friday morning it was raining pretty heavy. I returned Friday night, only to find the lot light was completely out and the lot was pitch dark. This always happens.

So I packed up all of my gear, doll, Jason, camera, and walked around until I found anything suitable which I finally found at a government mall. Because of the rain and cold, the homeless people and skaters who usually live there were somewhere else which was a little reassuring since I was by myself and it was like 9:00 at night.



Specifically, a strip of landscaping underneath a light on the mall walkway in front of a courthouse.



I shot about 40 frames or so in various poses. No flash, this was all the mall lighting. Obviously, I had to use a Hollywood, duh. She's on a Kaiyodo stand that seemed to work pretty well at holding her up on uneven terrain. Some people walked by but no one stopped.

To benefit the Pasadena Humane Society

The local collectors had a meet for Halloween and held an auction to benefit the Pasadena Humane Society. I made and donated this dress set (dress, necklace and bow) which was won at auction by Ellewoods 2007. There were a lot of other items in the auction and in total, the auction raised $268!
