HOLIDAY SPICE

I ALWAYS HAVE MORE FREE TIME TO DRAW DURING THE WINTER HOLIDAYS, SO I TOOK THIS OPPORTUNITY TO DO ANOTHER SPICE GIRLS PAPER DOLL SET FOR X-MAS. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I RAN ACROSS A 1997 HOLIDAY PHOTO SHOOT (for UK's Smash Hits mag?) WHERE THE GIRLS WERE WEARING ALL WHITE IN THE SNOW. I DID A QUICK TURN AROUND ON THESE TO MAKE SURE THEY WERE DONE BY DEC 25. THIS SET MARKS 25 DOLLS IN THE COLLECTION NOW!

GENERATION NEXT

I'M SO EXCITED TO BRING TO YOU FINE PEOPLE #3 IN SPICE GIRLS PAPER DOLL COLLECTION! THIS SERIES IS BASED ON THE CUSTOM MADE PEPSI LOGO PRINT OUTFITS THE GIRLS WORE AT THE LONDON PRESS CONFERENCE TO ANNOUNCE THEIR COLLABORATION WITH PEPSI ON MAY 6, 1997. EACH GIRL'S COSTUME WAS MADE UNIQUE TO HER SPICE STYLE. IT WAS REALLY HARD TO FIND PHOTOS OF THESE OUTFITS, BUT THANKS TO SPICEGIRLS.NET FACEBOOK PHOTO ALBUMS, I WAS ABLE TO PIECE TOGETHER THE LOOKS. I'VE INCLUDED A PIC OF THE GIRLS AT THE EVENT BELOW.

NOW, WHICH OUTFITS TO DO FOR SET#4? . . .

2 X 2 FACED

HERE'S ANOTHER PIECE I DREW A LONG TIME AGO AND ONLY RECENTLY GOT AROUND TO FINISHING. HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE A MOSCHINO FACE DRESS FROM THE EARLY 90's? THE FEATURES QUILTED AND APPLIQUE'D ON. THE HAIR MADE FROM FRINGE AND TASSELS. A CUTE SHOCKED EXPRESSION. I'M SOLD! I ALMOST BOUGHT A MEN'S VEST VERSION A FEW YEARS AGO. NOW I WISH I HAD IT! IT'S THE PERFECT PIECE TO GIVE YOU SOME GEEK CHIC!

TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT

AND HERE WE HAVE SET #2 IN MY SPICE GIRLS PAPER DOLL COLLECTION. THIS GROUP SHOWS THE GIRLS VELVET JUMPSUITS WORN IN ACT 7 OF THE SPICEWORLD TOUR. THEY DO 2 SONGS, 2 BECOME 1 AND WALK OF LIFE, WHILE WEARING THEM. I USED A SCREEN GRAB OF THE TWINKLING VIDEO SCREENS THEY PERFORM IN FRONT OF FOR THE DOLL BACKGROUNDS.

THE FACT THAT I'VE NOW FINISHED THE DOLL BASES AND TWO SETS OF OUTFITS AND WORK A FULL TIME JOB IS HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENT FOR ME. NOW TO GET TO WORK ON SET #3 . . .

THE POWER OF 5!!!!

HERE WE HAVE THE 1st SET OF OUTFITS FROM MY SPICE GIRLS PAPER DOLL COLLECTION. SET #1 SHOWS THE GIRLS' OUTFITS FROM THEIR "POWER OF FIVE" MINI MUSIC VIDEO / COMMERCIAL FOR THE LAUNCH OF CHANNEL 5 IN THE UK FROM MARCH 30, 1997. I'VE ALWAYS LOVED THE SONG / JINGLE / WHATEVER IT IS, THE OUTFITS, THE 1990's VISUALS FROM THE VIDEO, THE WHOLE THING! IT'S A GREAT EXAMPLE OF THE SPICE GIRLS UNCANNY ABILITY TO COMBINE POP MUSIC, FASHION, A CLEAN VISUAL STYLE AND MARKETING.
THERE'S MORE OUTFITS ON THE WAY, SO STAY TUNED SPICE FANS . . .

UN-BEAR-ABLY CHIC

MOSCHINO IS MY FAVORITE FASHION BRAND (tied w/ Mugler, of course) AND THIS TEDDY BEAR DRESS FROM THEIR S/S/ 1988 COLLECTION IS ONE OF THEIR MOST ICONIC ITEMS. I'VE DRAWN THIS DRESS MANY TIMES BEFORE BUT I THINK I FINALLY GOT A VERSION I REALLY LIKE. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT NEWLY APPOINTED CREATIVE DIRECTOR JEREMY SCOTT DOES WITH THE COMPANY IN THE FUTURE. HERE'S HOPING WE GET MORE CLOTHING W/ STUFFED ANIMALS ON THEM!

GIVING YOU EVERYTHING

AFTER YEARS OF COLLECTING RESEARCH AND BEING TOO BUSY TO REALLY DIVE IN, I HAVE FINALLY STARTED MY SPICE GIRLS PAPER DOLL PROJECT! MY PLAN IS TO TRY TO DRAW ALL THE OUTFITS OF THE 90'S MOST POPULAR AND SUCCESSFUL GIRL GROUP. THE FIVE LOOKS SHOWN HERE ARE GENERIC OUTFITS THAT ARE TYPICAL OF WHAT THE SPICE GIRLS WORE IN THEIR HEY DAY. I CAN'T WAIT TO DO MORE!
