Part of the reason I encouraged less Erte submissions because I tend to be insanely picky about drag'n'drop, but that does mean when I see a doll that lives up to my pickiness I'm *extra* pleased. :)
I also wanted to let you know that I'm still awarding crowns to the first-placers, but I've dropped a chunk on here as a start to give it a nudge towards beloved.
wow, thanks alot aristatide. ^^ i wanted her to look like she was either born of a pumpkin, or turning into one. im so glad u like her, she turned out much better then i thought she would.
The flow of this dress is gorgeous, and completely overcome my Erte reservations. The whole thing actually looks couture without being costume-y, a difficult line to straddle, and you did a beautiful job being inspired by the theme without taking it too literally. Congratulations on a well-deserved win.
