Paper Dolls

If you're not into Lord of the Rings, elves, paper dolls, or men dressed as women skip this entry.

For those who stayed, here are my paper dolls I made during our annual Hobbit Society movie night tonight!

The top row is Elrond modeling several of his outfits. Yes, that last one is a dress- Hugo Weaving, who played Elrond in the movies, was in an earlier film called "Priscilla Queen of the Desert" where he starred as a drag queen. The bottom row is Arwen, Elrond's daughter and Aragorn's wife. She got more dignified outfits until you get to 80's Skating Arwen on the right.

I made the dolls and all of the outfits tonight with scrapbook paper, Sharpies, and tape. I was a kid during the 90s so I didn't have to play with paper dolls (they were beginning to include machinery in dolls at that point), but I'd always liked how easy it was to design new outfits for them or fix them if they tore.
