Divine is Coming

For those of you who are already screaming "More !", you will get it. Divine is on his way.






Watch me as I dance under the spotlight-
listen to the people screaming out more, and more
Cos I create the feeling that keep em coming back,
Yeah, I create the feeling that keep em coming back,
So captivating when I get it on the floor.

Know y'all been patiently waiting, I know you need me, I can feel it,
I'm a beast, I'm an animal, I'm that Monster in the mirror,
The headliner, finisher, I'm the closer, winner.
Best when under pressure with seconds left I show up.

If you really want more, scream it out louder,
if you on the floor, bring out the fire,
And light it up, take it up higher,
Gonna push it to the limit, give it more.

Get up both your hands, I'm in the zone, s'aite
put em in the air, if you more (and) more,
Cos I can't wait to feel it.
I go hard, can't stop,
But if I stop just know that Imma bring it back,
Never quittin' don't believe in that.

Know y'all been patiently waiting, I know you need me, I can feel it,
I'm a beast, I'm an animal, I'm that monster in the mirror,
The headliner, finisher, I'm the closer, winner.
Best when under pressure with seconds left I show up.

If you really want more, scream it out louder,
if you on the floor, bring out the fire,
And light it up, take it up higher,
Gotta push it to the limit, give it more.

Harlequin DoA Group Order Begins Shipping

The following  is information that the sculptor and I feel is important to the people interested in acquiring Harlequin.  Not everyone is as familiar with my work as  the sculptor and I would like them to be.
Enki is the group leader for the DoA group order.  Enki has been coordinating the order.   All orders are paid to and are shipped directly from the factory.  Neither Enki nor myself are responsible for any shipments.
While I have tried to monitor the group order thread and answer questions upon occasion, I am not responsible for any misconceptions or misleading information which may be in it.

Accurate information for Simply Divine products is only available here on the Simply Divine blog.  Please do not confuse 'hearsay' and 'wishful thinking' with 'the truth'.
Please make your purchasing decision carefully. Divine is "my horse".  Harlequin is one of his many heads.  If you are in doubt, please ask me before you purchase or do not buy.  What you choose to do with Harlequin is your business. The only known match for Harlequin is other Simply Divine body parts.  No item is returnable for any reason whatsoever and no replacement or exchange will be given.  

 "You pays your money; you takes your chances."
Please state your color choice very clearly.  Venetian Luna Rose is not the same as Venetian Luna something else.  Please do not refer to any Venetian Luna resin as 'NS' or "normal skin"; there is nothing 'normal' about Venetian Luna resin any of the colors of Simply Divine resin.  'Venetian Luna' refers to a specific formula, the word following refers to a specific 'shade'.

Harlequin is currently available in Venetian Luna White or Venetian Luna Rose.
Many, if not all of the people, in this group order have never dealt with us before.  This is a quick opportunity for us get them up to speed on the Simply Divine project and to have some idea of what to expect when they order Harlequin.
The following information will also tip you off that we have a new resin color to add to our list.
Remember that I am always available for chat or questions on the LiveJournal.

~~~~~~ What you need to read is continued below. ~~~~~~~~~

First, we would like to thank Enki for all of her effort to make Harlequin a reality.  Her dedication to this project has made it possible for everyone to share Harlequin.

Secondly, we would like thank everyone who has loved Harlequin enough to order him.  We appreciate your support and your patience. We have tried to provide you with a very special Simply Divine product which we hope will give you with a great deal of joy. Harlequin is part of our own very special art project.  It means a great deal to us to be able to share him with you.

It is important that you know the following things about your order.



~ You must be 18 years old or older to order.  You are purchasing a fine art piece which is not intended for children.

~ The price of each Harlequin head is $150 plus shipping.  Insurance is required.

~ Orders are being submitted to the factory in batches of five from this group order here on DoA.  After the order is submitted, the heads are cast. You will be asked to confirm that you have read and understood this Simply Divine post by email.  Failure to confirm that you have read and understood everything posted here and have  'no questions' will delay your order.  Invoices are sent when the heads are ready for shipping.  After your invoice is paid and your confirmation email is on file, your order will be sent within 48 hours.

~ Please note that once heads are shipped no order is returnable for any reason.

~ Magnets are included in a separate baggie with your order.  The magnets fit snugly.  If you choose to glue them in, please take care to do it correctly.  There will be no replacement heads issued.

~ Some special notes about your Harlequin head...

Harlequin is cast in a proprietary resin formula that is unlike other resins you may be used to.  Our goal was to develop a high quality resin which slightly mimics fine porcelain. Venetian Luna resin is easily sanded resulting in a beautiful matte finish.  The matte finish accepts air brush and pastel very well.  However, the pastel application may feel different than you are used to.  It may also be harder to rub off.  Neither of us are painters, but that is the flavor of the feedback and we are just passing it on.

~ Venetian Luna resin has a UV stabilizer added to it and no expense was spared in creating this resin formula. However, since it is a brand new formula, it is unknown how it will behave over time.  Please take care of it the way you would your other treasured resin dolls.  Harlequin is not replaceable.

~ Venetian Luna White and Venetian Luna Rose, according to previous posts do not seem to be an exact match any currently existing resins. The Venetian Luna White is more of a pure paper white.  Venetian Luna Rose is distinctly pink toned.   We have almost completed tests for Venetian Luna Sunrise.  Those who are interested in a Caucasian skin tone may wish to postpone their decision until they are able to see Harlequin in Venetian Luna Sunrise.  We hope to post pictures in a few days. `

~ Harlequin's eye wells are 14mm.
Harlequin's head size at Enki's request is the same size as a Soom Dia.
Harlequin's neck opening was made to accomodate a Soom Super Gem male body.

~ Be aware that Harlequin was made with the thought of keeping the head from popping off the body easily.  Therefore, the S-hook opening is made to just allow the S-hook to be inserted with very little extra room.  If you feel the need to enlarge it, the resin is easily modified.

~ Please feel free to take box opening pictures.  However, if you could hold off on sharing them until everyone in this group order has received their Harlequin, that would definitely preserve the fun factor.

Venetian Luna resin will be featured throughout the Simply Divine product line.  Although our first release, the Harlequin head is in essence the second head of Divine.  Divine will have many heads and will keep everyone guessing including us. O_O .   The development of Divine's body is underway. We are excited about all things Simply Divine.  Keep an eye out in the future for masks, more Simply Divine heads, hooves, corsets, and the hookah smoking caterpillar's hookah.

Of course, we look forward to sharing Divine Himself with you.

Thank you for your deep interesting. ♥

Waiting for the Mail

Harlequin heads are travelling in the mail. I am waiting for a box along with the rest of you.
The group order on DoA will begin shipping as soon as 'paint' is approved.  Nothing will be shipped on DoA until the painter approves the Venetian Luna resin formula.  
I look forward to sharing your delight when you meet Harlequin.
As you know, your choice is utterly and Simply Divine.

We do have more fun things planned:  hooves, Alice masks,  male body, and of course, Divine.
 And, Super Gem size female corsets.

Waiting, Waiting for Harlequin






Alice Mask Update

Not to worry, you have not missed them and we did not forget that you are on the list.

We are busy working on the 'Alice set of three' in Soom Super Gem Dollshe Hound size plus the Doormouse in Yo Soom Tiny size.
I will let you know as soon as they are ready to ship.
Thank you for loving the Rabbits.

If you are on DoA and are looking for 'available masks', please subscribe to these two threads:



Sometimes masks are 'on the shelf' and have not made it into those threads.  If you would like to know if something specific is around, please drop me an email.

If you will be receiving Harlequin and would like to order mask(s), please let me know.

Absolutely Fabulous

That is how Divine is coming out.



My fellow Queen has told me she is very pleased with Him.

You will be pleased to know that at least a portion of the materials that we have been waiting for are being over nighted. We are doing everything we can to minimize delays.

Built into the very fiber of Divine's being is New York.





New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothin' you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Let's hear it for New York, New York,

Dark House Quarter

"I am so confused.  Please help me.  I have been following you around.   I am hopelessly and utterly lost!"

Hmmmmmm? Hmmmmmmmmm?
Well, the first thing you need to know is, you cannot be so terribly lost.  Because you are in Stephen's drawing room in his London mansion which is here.

The other thing is, you have found me. Here you go, have a card.
Yes, well. Right.  I do not ever seem to have one of my calling cards with me.  But, why ever do I need to carry them? You recognized me.
  So, what is it that you need to know?  Come, sit for a spell.  Have a   lovely heart shaped linzer tart and ask me whatever you would like.

"Well, I would like Harlequin.  I do not know what he is.  I cannot understand what you are building.  I know you are building something.  I cannot figure out what it is."

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.  Well.
Harlequin is around.  Certainly he is not here at Stephen's.  You may look around, but you will not find him hiding anywhere.  Try not to be frightened after you leave me, Stephen has the most delightful taste.

Harlequin is a head.  Harlequin was created to please Enki.  As long as Harlequin pleases Enki, he has fulfilled his mission in life.  It is much like Stephen keeping peach tea around for me.  He always has a stash of it.  Have you tried it?  It is ever so delightful.  Marvelously fragrant, too.  Here, have a cup. I will pour.

Harlequin will trot right out of Little Cow Harbor into Enki's life.  You should be very nice to Enki.  You can get close to Harlequin through Enki.  Doesn't Stephen have the loveliest spoons?  They remind me of the hookah smoking caterpillar's hookah and Divine's pipe.  Look at them; such intricate carvings and scrollwork.   Simply amazing.  Simply Divine.

"But where is Divine? Is he different than Harlequin?"

My child, of course he is 'different than Harlequin'.  If they were the same, they would not have different names.  Divine is a boundless creature.  It is doubtful if he can out dance my dog, but, we shall see.

"I want Divine !"

Oh my dear, have some more tea.  You just told me that you want Harlequin.  You have not seen or met either of them.  How do you know that Divine is not a terrible boor?  You have not seen his face.  How can you possibly want him?

"When can I see him ?  I want to see them ! I want one ! No one tells me how to get one !"

Oh my dear, have another cookie and some tea.  Goodness gracious, your problem is not being lost - for here you are - and it is not confusion, for the matters are simple: a horse has a head, a body, some hooves.  Your problem is "patience".  Patience is a virtue.  Surely you do need to be told: when you are in the company of Queens you must be very, very patient.

The horses will arrive.  You will be welcome to see them and enjoy them.  You can make arrangements for some nice hay when the time is right.  'Hay when the sun shines'  and all that type of thing.

In the meantime, do enjoy Stephen' s house and have another cookie.  If you see Weeener please tell her that I do hope she is not causing any trouble.  Stephen is like me;  he likes his cobwebs exactly where the spiders have placed them.

Back to Life



As you wait for Harlequin and Divine to join the party, I urge you to kick back, chill out,  get on and get back to life. They will be with all of us soon enough.

They will both be worth the wait.

Dust has Arrived

Dust is a little Soom fairy guy.  
Right now, he is being groomed by his groomer.

After grooming he goes in for surgery. 
For any of you who are lusting for alternative parts for your Soom fairies, keep an eye on Dust.

His hands, his legs knee down, and his wings : all will be changed.  We will have the molds, you will be welcome to share his new parts.  We plan to offer them as soon as they are ready.
Over the long run, we would like to use Dust for testing parts for Divine.  If the parts do not work out on a little guy, then there is no reason to pursue them in a larger Soom Super Gem Hound size.  Dust will be used to get a quick look for: 'Oh, does anyone like this? Or this? Or this?'
In the meantime, I just imagine him hanging out in the chandelier as that is usually full of Dust.

Horse Parts

How can one build a horse and not have hooves?
With two horse heads done, Harlequin and Divine, we will be moving along to Divine's hooves.
Divine's Simply Divine hooves will be swappable with Soom Super Gem bodies from the knee down.

Unless it magically changes overnight, Venetian Luna White resin is not a match to Soom cream.
Once the hooves are complete, the rest of Divine's body will follow suit.  Personally, I will be doing a "backwards hybrid" .  Divine's head and Divine's hooves will go on 'other company body' until our own is built.  Once Divine has all of his parts, he will be 'completely Divine'.

Masked Horse

Divine is following Harlequin out of the paddock gate.
He will proceed to his groomer(s).  I am still expecting Him not to be available for public viewing until October 2011.
Yes, Divine is a completely different head from Harlequin.

Harlequin Shipment Delay

We have just gotten  word that a delivery of materials which we have been expecting will be delayed. 
The material is critical to the production of Harlequin.
We apologize for the unavoidable delay.  If it is any consolation, you can know that "I" am waiting along with the rest of you.  I can only tell you that I believe he will be worth the wait.
The wait should only be a couple of days, but there is honestly no way of knowing as the delay is not on "our" end.

The Painter's Triumph

The illustration above is The Painter's Triumph painted in 1838.
While many individual painters may be extremely wonderul, we are each entitled to choose our favorite.  For some people, their favorite painter is "themselves". Which is fine. Personally, I find the 'painter decision' to be a difficult but not impossible choice. 

I do not, as a rule,  paint my own dolls. 

As soon as possible, I will share with you my choice of painter for Harlequin.  For Harlequin, I value this person's paint and their opinion above all others.  I have no doubts that you will find  the paint to be Simply Divine.

"Hello, this is Peggy"



As Harlequin begins shipping, it is time once again to remind you:  do not attempt to contact the factory.

Harlequin, Divine, all things Simply Divine, Simply Divine masks, West Nile Charlotte : all are Cathy Cara products.  The factory will answer no questions about them.

Invoicing and subsequent shipping, along with billing questions only are handled by the factory.  If you have a question on anything else, please direct it to me.  Enki is handling the group order on DoA.  If you are on DoA and part of the group order there, please follow Enki's instructions; you may of course chat with me any time on LiveJournal.

Failure to pay an invoice within 48 hours will result in automatic cancellation of your order.  Items will not ship without payment. You are acknowledging that you are 18 years old or older when you request an item.  We will not sell to minors. We reserve the right to refuse any order at any time with no reason given.  You will be told:  "Your order has been declined."

Please take your time and select your item(s) carefully.  Insurance is required.  Nothing is returnable for any reason.  Be very careful with your purchases; we offer no guarantees or warranty and have no replacement policy.

Thank you for your deep interesting.



For those of you who are still confused, let's try it again ...

Knave of Hearts

The illustration is by Maxfield Parrish.
We have resolved the issue of 'horse beauty marks' .  The Venetian Luna formula has been adjusted for the general public.
Your castings will be 'horse beauty mark free' .

Should you not understand what that means, the translation is this: 
This message is 'not for you'.  
It means: castings are proceeding very well and we are hopeful that you will just love Harlequin.
If you would like to add masks to your outgoing order, please let us know.  It would be an excellent time, say if you were Russian, to have one shipment sent thereby saving something on the overseas shipping.

I am *waving* to Russian friends; I am so glad that you like him !

Good Times, Waiting for Harlequin

Harlequin's Beauty Marks or Lack Thereof

Today, I said to my fellow Queen, "So, how was your day? How is Harlequin looking?"
She said weakly and brightly in reply, "Harlequin is looking fabulous. The Rose color is simply stunning.  No one will believe what it truly is."

I said, "You sound exhausted."

She said, "I am.  I have not stopped all day."  
She continued, "You can put on the blog that I spent the day taking the horse's beauty marks out of the cocaine."

Divine Under Wraps for October - Our Lips are Sealed

The King has just pointed out that one cannot copy what one cannot see.
We were going to release Divine's photographs right after Harlequin's release.  However, we are now re-thinking that.
You may have to wait until October.  We have been gleefully plotting and we have been very excited over plans for Him for October.  We are also working on a set of three Halloween masks in Soom Super Gem Dollshe Hound size which will be offered 'blind box' style.  The price on those is $105 ; please let me know if you would like to be on the 'Halloween list' .

Waiting for Divine.  Harlequin will be here before Him.



Nickelback - Far Away by Warner-Music





I was born, I was born
To be with you in this space and time
After that and ever after
I haven't had a clue only to break rhyme
This foolishness can leave a heart black and blue, oh, oh

Only love, only love can leave such a mark
But only love, only love can heal such a scar



Harlequin's Sculptor is an American

The sculptor of Harlequin and myself are both American and we are both resident New Yorkers.  When you receive an original Harlequin, you will see evidence of that.
While it is natural that all good ideas will get copied, it has come to my attention that people are confused about where to order Harlequin.

You can only get Harlequin from Enki or myself.

Any other sculpt coming in from overseas, while it may look similar, it is not the same.  We would tell you: it is a fake.  Whether you wish to support knock off artists or wonderfully creative artists overseas is your business.  I only wish to tell you: if you think you are buying something which is 'Simply Divine' and you have purhased it from overseas, it is not.  
All Simply Divine products are only produced and shipped from New York.  This is true whether I make them myself or whether they are made in the factory.

Thank you for your deep interesting.
Thank you for buying American.


♥ ♥ ♥

I am editing this to add:  I would like to thank each and every one of you for all of your kind notes, your unwavering support, and your generous enthusiasm for Harlequin and Divine.  Harlequin truly is a labor of love and a gift of fine art to each and everyone us.  I am very thrilled that many of you will share him with me and with each other.  

Yes, the sculpt not 'mine', but he is truly 'ours'.

Waiting for Harlequin to Arrive

This tune is very familiar to the Heliot Herd.




Divine is able to do this with four legs.  All of my horses can do this.  I invite you to join them when you open the box for Harlequin.  You will have a good time.




Boys will be boys.  Girls will be girls.  Harlequin can be anything your heart desires.  He is Simply Divine.

The clock keeps turning why hesitate? These are the good times.

How to Order Harlequin

This illustration is by Leon Bakst.
Harlequin has begun shipping.  Some orders have already gone out.
Venetian Luna White Harlequin has been sent to the face up artist for paint.  Because Venetian Luna resin is completely new and untested, we are recommending that you wait for the face up artist's approval before ordering.

Samples of Venetian Luna Rose have also gone out.  We were waiting to hear how people liked it before committing to pouring it.  Venetian Luna Rose is 'pinker' than the Soom NS which is more 'orange' in tone.  Venetian Luna White will not match Soom Cream; it is more white.
The Harlequin head is the same size as the Soom Dia.
When you are ready to place an order for the Harlequin head please do the following:

Send your LiveJournal name, your DoA name, your Real Name, your shipping address, your paypal information, and your email address to:
cathy    "AT"    cathycara   "DOT"   com

Please note the quantity that you are ordering and your color choice.

If you are not waiting for further comparison pics or the approval of the face up artist, your resin choices are:
~ Venetian Luna White
~ Venetian Luna Rose

The price per head is $150 plus shipping.  Magnets for the head cap are included.
Insurance is required.

The head is not returnable for any reason whatsoever. 

Your order will be poured upon receipt of the email.  When it is boxed and ready to ship, you will receive an invoice via paypal.  The invoice must be paid within 48 hours of receipt.  Your order will ship directly from the factory in New York within 48 hours after payment.
I will send you an initial email acknowledging that I have received your order. 
Please poke me if you do not hear from me.
Thank you for your deep interesting.

Mrs. Quent and the House on Durrow Street

Reading, reading. Waiting for Harlequin to arrive in the mail.
Excerpt from the sequel, The House on Durrow Street :

Then they found themselves on the edge of the glade, and once again they stepped forward, into a new painting.

This one was darker, with lanterns reflecting off onyx water and the graceful arches of stone bridges.  A narrow gondola glided by as candles floated all around.  Ivy had seen pictures of such a place before.  It was one of the canal cities on the coast of the Principalities, where people went not by carriage but by boat on the various waterways that served for streets.

Another glass of wine was given to them, this time by a servant in a grotesque but delightful mask with a beaked nose and decorated with feathers.  They had hardly finished it before they were swept into another scene, and another, each as beautiful as the last.  They walked upon the parapets of a ruined castle, marveled beneath the golden dome of a Murghese temple, and strolled through a field of poppies.

All at once, the poppies gave way to parquet floor, the clouds to chandeliers, and they were once again in Invarel, in a ballroom with grand windows that looked out over the lights of the New Quarter.  However, this was in no way less fantastical than the scenes through which they had wandered, for Ivy realized those had been only prelude - a means to delight and heighten the senses in preparation for what lay ahead.


Resin Colors

Divine is a creature of the tropics.  White sandy beaches, lavendar scented dunes, the sky kaleisdoscoping with the colors of sunset.  Out he prances.  With his umbrella.
The umbrellas have 'sold out', did I tell you? If you would like to be on the list for the next batch, please drop me a note.
The resin colors for Simply Divine skin which are under consideration are:

Venetian Luna White
Venetian Luna Rose
Venetian Luna Twilight
Venetian Luna Violet Dusk
Venetian Luna Noir


Venetian Luna White will make its debut with the release of the Harlequin head.  Harlequin may also be released in the Venetian Luna Rose.  Venetian Luna Rose is a 'pinker cast' than the Soom NS.

Venetian Luna Twilight will be the color of Divine when he reaches his 'ultimate form' with four legs.  Venetian Luna Noir will not be seen until Divine has his full male body and two clip-clopping hooves.

If you have acquired Charlotte, and you are wondering whether or not your West Nile Charlotte is 'Venetian Luna' the answer is: she is not.  She is remotely similar and she is completely Divine, however, she is not the same Simply Divine formula.  Charlotte was created to be a 'faux antique'.   The Venetian Luna is different and will be a 'clean rich cast' .  

There is a captivating gentle glow to the Venetian Luna which is reminiscent  of  artfully captured moonlight.
