Mia So Nisse
Happy Winter Solstice!
Pronounced, Nee-sa: A nisse (Danish: [ˈne̝sə], Norwegian: [ˈnɪ̂sːə]), tomte(Swedish: [ˈtɔ̂mːtɛ]), tomtenisse, or tonttu (Finnish: [ˈtontːu]) is a mythological creature from Nordic folklore today typically associated with the winter solstice and the Christmas season. They are generally described as being short, having a long white beard, and wearing a conical or knit cap in red or some other bright color. They often have an appearance somewhat similar to that of a garden gnome.
The nisse is one of the most familiar creatures of Scandinavian folklore, and he has appeared in many works of Scandinavian literature. With the romanticization and collection of folklore during the 19th century, the nisse gained popularity.

Mia So Amelia
We are paying homage to American superstar aviator, Amelia Earhart.
When I look at this adorable photo, the song Bouncing Off Clouds by Tori Amos pops inside my head. In fact, sometimes I don’t like to title Mia So Frenchie photos with an on the nose name. Half the fun for me is coming up with a clever name. Mia So Aviator and Mia So Bouncing Off the Clouds were strong contender titles. Ultimately I settled with Mia So Amelia.
“After midnight, the moon set, and I was alone with the stars. I have often said that the lure of flying is the lure of beauty, and I need no other flight to convince me that the reason flyers fly, whether they know it or not, is the esthetic appeal of flying.”
I styled Mia’s airplane similar to Amelia Earharts’s Lockheed Vega 5B. And I found a simple DIY cardboard airplane tutorial, here.

What else is one to do at 4 o’clock in the morning, make a silly spooky video, of course. Enjoy! While doing a quick dress rehearsal with the wig for Mia’s Halloween photo-shoot last weekend, I thought this would be brilliant for a mad scientist. So I immediately got to work with planning and brainstorming. I thought about the 1974 cult classic film, Young Frankenstein, and began to frame the theme around that. A very special shout out err uh, Howl Out to Stella and Milo for loaning us their Bark Shop Frankenstein Monster toy doll. We squeezed this one in last minute just for you, so you’re welcome. Stay tuned for tomorrow’s Halloween photo premiere, “It’s Showtime! “

Mia So Smurfy
Smurfette is one of the characters from the 1958 Belgian comic strip, (French: Les Schtroumpfs) The Smurfs created by cartoonist, Peyo and later, Hanna-Barbera’s 1981 cartoon show, Smurf’s Adventures. Smurfette was created by the evil wizard Gargamel, the Smurf’s long-standing enemy, in order to spy on them and sow jealously throughout their village. But much to his chagrin, the overwhelming love and goodness of the Smurfy way of life made her want to be a real Smurf and live in harmony with them. So Papa Smurf cast a spell which transformed her into a real Smurf. And the rest is history.
Full disclosure, we dabbled a wee bit with photoshop to alter the color of Mia’s face to fully capture that Smurfy look. Oddball conspiracy theories aside, Stop trying to destroy my already fragile childhood! I was a huge fan of The Smurfs growing up. When I was 18 years old I would set my alarm to wake up at 4 in the morning just to watch an hour of re-aired Smurfs episodes and then go back to sleep for a few hours before I needed to get up and get ready for work. My auntie and uncle, who I was living with at the time thought it was completely bonkers. Looking back, I have to admit it was quite a Smurfy commitment and it gives me a little chuckle thinking about it. I can now understand them being perplexed then.
