It only takes one by Farrah Fawcett Via Flickr: Hi all. First a personal note which is something I do not normally post or do. My name is Steve, and I photograph and have been posting on Flickr under FarrahF and 1Sixth, I believe since 2012. Initially I was not going to post any of Noel's repaints in masks or really make any images about COVID-19 or 2020 on this account. But since I have contracted COVID and have been in quarantine since November 28th I thought I should post something relative and about Covid in general. This is not political but about everyone's health. I worked for the last nine months masked and being extremely careful. Unfortunately for me, I had an infected person directly behind me who expelled their cigarette smoke and saliva directly on my face, skin and in my eyes. I knew when I was exposed and I knew I was probably going to contract COVID. I registered on line and was tested and five days after I thought I'd been exposed it was confirmed on December 3rd and I have symptoms ranging from fever to extreme chest/stomach pain, fevers and breathing issues that landed me in the Emergency Room two days ago. The point in posting this little summary and these images is that you are better off Masking UP! and also incorporating some kind of eyewear protection. I was able to stave off being exposed for nine months as I was diligent about social distancing and staying masked up wherever I went. So I am just sharing this information with all of you who may read this or follow this account to stay safe, be diligent, be aware of who is around you and how close they are to you. It only takes one time. One chance encounter and you can become infected. I have no health issues or history of asthma, heart trouble or any allergies. So, I truly thought I would never contract Covid. But I have and I would not wish this on anyone. So, please, even if you think it is pointless or never going to hit you or someone you care about, MASK UP! Make an effort to protect yourself or others from you. You may be infected and not even know it. To everyone who follows this account, thank you for following, for liking and for complimenting the photos I've taken. I have greatly enjoyed being a part of the Flickr community for years and hope to continue being a part of this amazingly creative outlet of collectors and photographers. I wish you all a safe and healthy holiday. SM Jennifer Lopez as repainted and restyled by Noel Cruz (ncruz.com) wearing a fashion by SHANTOMMO.

Mask UP!

Hi all. First a personal note which is something I do not normally post or do. My name is Steve, and I photograph and have been posting on Flickr under FarrahF and 1Sixth.co, I believe since 2012. I’m also the creator and admin of https://myfarrah.com .I’m wishing good health to you and yours. I’m posting new photos of Farrah Fawcett - a black label Barbie repainted and restyled by Noel Cruz as well as Jennifer Lopez featuring a mask up graphic as well as this drawing I did of Fawcett because I contracted COVID-19 on November 28 was confirmed on December 3 and have been quarantined ever since. I created the myFarrah.com website, 1Sixth.co website as well as my own stevemckinnis.com website for web work. Anyway the point of this message is more personal than usual as I do not post personally under this account and I try to steer clear of anything political or salacious but I just wanted to tell all of you that I have been ill with Covid and want to encourage anyone who reads this to put a mask on and or as well as add eyewear. I’ve been working full-time the last nine months and I never felt at risk or exposed until unfortunately I was too close to a person who was infected and they blew out their cigarette smoke and it was wet and I knew I was exposed and that’s all it took. Anyway to all those who are struggling with this my thoughts are with you and to all of you who have struggled with loss this past year grace and healing to you. I’m hopeful for the future and as a life long fan of Fawcett I believe she would’ve said the same “mask up!“ Farrah was proactive for her own healthcare and battle and I have no doubt that she would’ve been no different with this. Please stay safe and healthy and I hope to continue with my tributes to Fawcett.

[its-lifestyle]

The attention to detail on the vibrant yellow pantsuit is impressive. Made from shantung silk, there’s not a single thread out of place, nor hem out of line. It certainly looks like an outfit you would see on high fashion runways.

Except that no living person can wear this well-constructed ensemble – it’s only meant for 12-inch dolls.

Doll haute couture brand Shantommo’s founder Ryan Liang is the man behind the exquisite sartorial creation. Since 2013, the 31-year-old has been creating beautiful clothes for collectible fashion figurines from Integrity Toys and selling them online.

The journey of the Pahang native as a designer for dolls began with the power of play when he was a kid. “I started playing with dolls when I was about five or six. I would dress them up and what not. But of course, you do get a lot of side stares. It’s not really common for boys to play with dolls,” he says.

The materials that Liang uses in his designs include brocade, chiffon, leather and metallic fabric. Photo: Shantommo

A disheartened Liang stopped playing with them after getting mean comments from people. He only returned to the hobby as a young adult. In fact, the reason the former graphic designer started selling clothes for dolls was so he could make some money to expand his personal collection of figurines.

Pretty passion

What started as a side business soon turned into a full-fledged career. Today, Liang has made quite a name for himself among doll collectors. Instagram photos of the dolls he styles with his clothes often rake in hundreds of likes. And a check on the brand’s website reveals that most of his creations are sold out.

The materials he works with include brocade, chiffon, leather and metallic fabric. Apart from outfits, he also does accessories. But designing miniature clothes is not without its own set of challenges.

“You have to consider the thickness of the fabric and the pattern scale. If the pattern is too big, it won’t look good on the doll,” he explains.

Liang – who counts Alexander McQueen and Tom Ford as his inspirations – has a specific aesthetic he likes to see on the female form. High on that list is female empowerment.

“Empowerment, to me, means you’re free, strong and able to stand your ground. It’s about making a point about your character and how you want to portray yourself to the world,” he says.

Diversity is also something that Liang wants to promote. He makes it a point to style and feature dolls of colour. At the same time, doing so allows him to expand his styling horizons.

“There are different aspects to consider when you are dressing dark or tanned skin dolls,” Liang says, noting that he takes into consideration colour hues that match respective skin tones.

Although he doesn’t have any formal training in fashion, Liang grew up in an environment where patterns and trends were quite prevalent in the house. “My mother is a tailor, so sewing and designing has always been a part of my life. It was quite natural for me to move on to what I’m doing now,” he shares.

If anything, Liang’s current vocation has managed to strengthen the bond between him and his mum. “My mother has always been supportive of what I do. I think a part of her feels proud too because in a way, I’m carrying on her legacy as a tailor. It’s something that we share together,” he says.

Niche crowd

Liang comes up with about five looks every month. For each look, he only creates 40 pieces. Although he calls it a “lucrative business”, Liang admits the prospects for growth are pretty grim in Malaysia.

“Out of 100 orders, only about two are from Malaysia. The biggest market for me is the US, followed by Europe,” Liang explains, adding that most of his clients are Caucasian men in their 30s and 40s.

According to him, the doll collecting scene in the country is also not very exciting. It doesn’t help that conventional toys are no longer in vogue among the younger generation.

“Even commercial dolls like Barbie are beginning to lose their customers. The trend now is online games that you play on your phone,” he says.

But that niche demand helps to keep business afloat. Collectors are willing to pay premium prices to dress their dolls, says Liang, who charges between US$60 (RM253) and US$200 (RM842) for the clothes. Accessories are sold at about US$20 (RM82) per item.

A conundrum that Liang is facing is the dwindling local textile industry. “At first, it was easy to source for fabric here. But I notice that the textile industry in the country is closing down, and it’s becoming harder to source for materials here these days,” he says, adding that he has turned to the US and South Korea to purchase fabric.

Liang’s observation is warranted. The textile business in Malaysia, described by some experts as a sunset industry, lost its lustre decades ago following fierce competition from countries like China, Bangladesh and Vietnam.

“There are also fewer people now who can produce the kind of quality sewing that the older generation of tailors is capable of. They might be good at sketches, but find pattern-making and sewing a challenge,” he says.

Besides designing stylish clothes for dolls, Liang also creates accessories such as bags and shoes. Photo: The Star/Sam Tham

Making connections

It hasn’t been all doom and gloom, however. Shantommo’s strong social media presence has certainly helped with the brand’s growth, which happened organically through Instagram.

“Social media has opened many doors for me,” Liang says. More than just commercial benefits, it has also enabled him to reach out to other doll enthusiasts.

“I’ve actually built some great friendships too. When customers receive the outfits they order, they would dress up their dolls and then tag me in their posts. It’s fun seeing how they mix and match my designs with other clothes in their collection,” says Liang, who also participates in doll collectors conventions held abroad which allow him to connect with similar designers.

Moving forward, one does wonder if Liang would ever design clothes for humans. “I thought about it, but no. It’s because my mindset will always go to how I can scale things down,” he says, with a laugh.

Happy Valentines by Farrah Fawcett Via Flickr: In the seventies Farrah and Lee were the power couple of Hollywood and Fawcett had the most famous hyphenated name of the time. Fawcett began dating Lee Majors in the late 1960s. She was married to Majors from 1973 to 1982, although the couple separated in 1979. They had no children. Throughout her marriage (and despite the separation) she used the name Farrah Fawcett-Majors in her screen credits. Farrah is wearing a Shantommo fashion The Boyfriend Shirt (shantommo.com/) and photographed in a diorama by Ken Haseltine. Fawcett is a Black Label Barbie by Mattel and Lee is from SuperMad Toys. Lee Majors and Farrah were repainted by artist Noel Cruz of ncruz.com. SUPERMADTOYS is on facebook at www.facebook.com/Supermadtoys-1516215925342657 Photo by Steve McKinnis of stevemckinnis.com.
