Anette Travelling to Visit the Easter Bunny - Part 4
After talking that much with other dolls Anette went again to explore the garden some more. She found a fallen tree where she could sit on. Snow and storms damaged a lot of the old trees in the garden.
While looking around for other nice spots the moorhen walked cool between us through the garden totally unimpressed by the dolls and their human pets. 
Another great place to spend some time and listen to the flowing sound of the water is near the river that runs through the enchanted garden. The ants working at the tree where she sat thought the same I guess.
After fleeing from the ants and cleaning the pants from crawling stuff she thought it’s probably better to go back closer to the crowd. So first she sat near the pond.
And later on the terrace to enjoy the late afternoon sun.
The girls slowly got hungry so we started our barbecue and prepared for dinner.
That ends the report of Anettes first outdoor and doll meeting event in her more than 5 years long life. She was really very happy to get that experience as you can see on her smile.
I made a total of 196 photos on that afternoon and selected around 30 for the report. Sadly it was partly cloudy which can be seen in some of the photos. And due to early spring time a lot of bushes and trees didn’t have much leaves yet. It will be quite a bit more green in one or two months when we see us again! We already had a “Munich Mini Doll Meet” there in October 2023 that I attended with Petra. Petra’s report is here: viewtopic.php?p=2426729#p2426729
THE END

Thank you for sharing Doc!
It appears Annette had a wonderful adventure and I am certain she will ask to go again!

Thanks again for the comments. I don’t have a garden shooting today but I hope my terrace will do for now.
Roxi Presenting Her New Golden Dress
I love the combination of gold and brown skin. So Roxi is the lucky girl getting most of the golden stuff. Lately she got a new golden dress which she is presenting today.
Here she is talking with Maria about golden dresses and such until they see me shooting photos …
After that we went out on the terrace.
Roxi loves to see the neighbours blooming cherry trees!
There were also interesting things going on on the street …
Back inside Roxi was sitting on the famous ironing board being watched by Maria.
And of course all the girls were there watching the action. Anette is still in her garden dress from her garden adventure. And Petra wearing her nighty is obviously on duty this week

Posted today my entry for the April 2024 Plush Challenge on TDF. It was another result of the mini mini doll meet 2 weeks ago, not yet published.
Topic: “Plushies Love Nature”
Title: Anette in “Never Been Outdoor Before! Wonderful Flowers!”
That image is very emotional to me since I’m married since more than 5 years to Anette and it’s really nice to see her being so happy watching the flowers on her first outdoor trip.

Good Bye Maria
As mentioned before I wanted to replace Maria’s head due to the color and popp off problem. Today Maria’s replacement head arrived. So we gathered to say farewell to Maria. Maria already found a good new home and we wish her all the best for the future. 
Welcome Michelle
Michelle is an Irontech S27 head bought from Moon Doll which is most likely a special creation for Moon Doll. Haven’t seen her in other shops.
Michelle’s color is a perfect match for the body although the photos don’t really do this fact justice due to the flash light and reflection of the head. And she has a M16 thread connector (actually came with both, an M16 thread and quick connector).
Anyway, the girls gave Michelle a warm welcome

Michelle looks very happy. And another chocolate lady

Thanks for the messages 
The more I look at Michelle the more I like her. She really fits in the family.
Needed a new signature image with Michelle on TDF so today we made another family photo. Powdered Michelle so she doesn’t shine as much. Also light was a bit better than yesterday so that the color deviation of Michelles head to body is minimal. Without flashlight colors are practically identical. I’m really very satisfied with Michelle

Petra Trying Out Her New Black Skirt
Petra trying out her new black skirt. Not really satisfied with it, it’s not elastic enough and too wide at the bottom in the rear.
Petra: Goes so!
And while Petra was posing with her new skirt Michelle tried out my traditional hat exercising cultural appropriation.

Michelles First Shift
Also Michelle’s first one week shift in my dolls rotation started today. So she dressed in her nighty and couldn’t really resist to “try her out”. After that we made a little shooting with her sitting near the window without flash light. The colors of head and body match better without. But in real it looks even better than on the photos.
I also ordered dark make up to make her less shining in future photos. Used normal white powder so far but thats not too great with a dark doll. It seems quite a bit harder to make good photos of a dark doll than with light ones.

I’ve read that adding coco to corn starch makes a good dark powder for these darker complexions!
Michelle is lovely!

Anette - The Queen of Lust
Since Petra and Maria/Michelle abused her old black PU-leather Jumpsuit Anette got a new very flexible jumpsuit which actually fits her pretty well. Ok can’t fully close the zipper but thats not necessary. 
So today Anette is posing as queen of lust.
Tomorrow we will get visited by the chimney sweeper who wants to check the ovens too. So Anette trying to pose on the oven so that the chimney sweeper has something to “check”.
