    2. Nice! I love the quote in the second photo!

      I'm not far from New Orleans (about an hour or two away) but I'm not a Mardi Gras person. I've basically avoided every parade so far, and haven't even bought a king cake - it's so sad :lol:

    3. @StellaMarigold The Church doesn't really embrace Mardi Gras--a bit excessive on the excess :eusa_naug and I'm not a big fan of parades, but I would love to try a king cake, they look scrumptious!

    4. I like seeing Kurt again X) You're so creative with what you do with him, it's made me consider getting something small and different like him. He'd be great for tourism/travel photos.

    5. It does depend on how you celebrate Mardi Gras! I'm pretty traditional Catholic, and one of the things I love about the Church is its kind of disciplined liberality - you can enjoy the good (having fun with friends, taking kids to decent parades, eating delicious food) and reject the destructive (excessive drinking, immoderate behavior, etc). I say this not to contradict you - just to provide a different perspective - you're absolutely right that many Mardi Gras celebrations get way out of hand and don't reflect on the whole idea of a day of fun before forty days of reflection and self-denial :)

      :cake: The thing about king cakes is that when I was a kid they always hid a little plastic baby in them and if you found the baby you were supposed to be lucky for the year (or something like that) BUT I was always scared that someone would eat the baby or choke on it! So now I find them a bit creepy lol.

    6. @ZennoSaji , I've been in the hobby for about ten years now and I've gone from mini-size dolls to tiny anthros to large dolls to tiny human dolls to extra-large dolls and several sizes in-between. And right now I am having the most fun with the little ones. The big ones are gorgeous but they are more difficult to handle and photograph,and simply not as versatile.
      With the big ones I usually end up taking portraits but with Kurt, and other tinies,I'm inspired to do so much more!

      @StellaMarigold , I believe you! I've only been to New Orleans once and it wasn't even during Mardi Gras.
      I was looking at my Catholic calendar and it barely even mentions Shrove Tuesday so I figured Mardi Gras would not be highly endorsed.:eusa_pray But I'm sure it can be enjoyed without going over the top.
      I've seen pictures of the little plastic cake-babies and they really do seem a bit unsafe. But it doesn't sound as bad as the English Christmas pudding which can have coins, buttons, thimbles and rings inside!

    7. @phanuel - Oh, yes, English pudding with all the fixings sounds terrifying to me! I don't know who came up with these things haha.

      Going back to the original topic, I really agree with you about the versatility of the tiny dolls. The smallest one I have is 19cm, and even though it is hard to make clothes for her, she is so easy to transport and handle.
