Teenage Playtime

       My daughters used to play dolls, paper dolls and doll houses, stuff toys, etc. with matching dialogues when they were younger. Now, at ages 16 and 13, they have both outgrown it. They found other interests in activities that can be considered more appropriate to them like photography, drawings, music, etc.

         There is one thing though that Joyce didn't outgrow since her younger days - her fascination with making up, doing and designing/deciding on her little sister's face, hair and costumes.
      I remember that she first tried my make kits and pair of scissor on her dolls. When Thea, her little sister, turned about 2 years old, the latter instantly became her model.

       I saw some hair scattered by the doorsteps one day. I realized it
was Joyce who gave free hair cut to Thea when I saw the latter’s wide and high bangs. It took a barber to at least fix it and a few months before she got a straight cut again.

      Thea used to march too pretending as a bride with the costume and music designed and made by her sister.

        Now, they have improved a lot. They’re using better costumes and experimenting with more stuffs as accessories. Joyce still enjoys designing/deciding on the outfit/s and she also acts as director-photographer most of the times.
        I would like to share some of their childhood photos here but our scanner is out of order so maybe I can do it some other time.

For now, I will only post here some of their latest outputs done with their own photography talents using our simple digicam.
