Title sort of matches the story, but I didn't want to give away out here! A 2 panel caption awaits!
Made this for Vypress on Rachel's Haven, and ended up doing things a bit differently than usual. I will explain below, as I usually do here! I'm nothing if not predictable that way!
I knew that she liked some inanimate objects and I saw the first picture and knew it would be a good fit to make a mannequin caption. They were all quite posed like they were frozen, perhaps there is someone with a film camera taking shots? I wrote it out as I wanted it to go, and then went to confirm that what I wrote would fit Vypress' preferences. While perusing it, I saw that she liked multi-panel captions, and as luck would have it, I knew of a few others that sort of went with this set, even though the models wore different clothing .. and ended up in different rooms too.
Even more, I didn't quite think the story was finished. I pulled out this picture out of the set, figuring it was the best one to work with on a continuity standpoint, and just started writing some more. I guess I was in the mood for a bit of rebellion, so maybe they'll escape .. or maybe the programming will be too strong to overcome. That's up to you, the readers to decide.
Of course, when I only wrote it as a self-contained caption, I left it vague as to which one was Vypress so she'd be able to pick which one was her favorite to be. When all the girls spoke in the second panel, I had to make an executive decision! Hope I chose wisely!
Which leads me to this question, Which one would you have wanted to be in this caption set? I know I went away from the mannequin concept a bit, and chose more of a real doll approach, but I liked the idea of a flexible mannequin that felt lifelike and could move if the owner wanted them to do so. Would you rather be one or the other? Both? Neither? Was I better off leaving it as one caption, or did you like the expansion of the plot with the second panel? Let me know in the comments!
Yeah, I'd rather have put up their appearance on the Star Wars Holiday Special, but this goes well with the caption. I'm not even sure if this was from the first movie, or the second!

Far right model definitely; I love the way her hair has those huge curls in it!
ReplyDeleteThat was actually my thought, but in the 2nd picture, she's more toward the back, so I thought that might be weird in making a caption where "the star" is in the background. She'd be my choice I think.
DeleteIt's a shame that the models all had on such similar dresses, otherwise that might have factored in some too. That said, the far right model also has, what I think are the best shoes: black, peep-toe, platform heels. They've got a sort of timeless charm to them and would go with sooooo many things.
DeleteAn unexpectedly dark caption, with a possible poetic justice. Even though inanimate objects aren't high on my list, I truely enjoyed this one.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you and all your visitors
Happy New Year Helena! Hope to see you more in 2018!
DeleteI think i would go for the one in green. They have a bit of free will left and would like to see the wicked old judge shagged to death hopefully by the shemale one. A hot sticky end!
ReplyDeleteYou'd definitely be the ringleader, no matter HOW it turned out!
DeleteAlthough the mannequin thing isn't really for me I really liked where you went with it! And if I had to be one of them....well the one in pink would be me of course!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Dee!!! Stay warm!!!
Love

I wonder if that is why I ended up writing the 2nd caption. That somehow I wanted them to beat the odds. Then they'd be living dolls that wouldn't have to eat much except for feasting on treats from guys, and living their own destiny.
DeleteI had run out of space so my last paragraph or two was a bit of a compromise .. I had them thinking, "if we play this right, maybe we'll have him get us legal papers saying we are real women, and his nieces, then when he dies, we'll get all his money and property."
