It's been not only a long time since I've posted here, but it has been a long time since I shared photos of my place. The last time you guys saw where I lived I was still living at home with my parents. It was back in 2012, so easily 4 years ago you saw my collection. Now you can see not only has my… [more]
So since I've moved into my new apartment I still hadn't set up my photography studio. Seems work has me busier than I thought I would ever be, however I took some time this past weekend to set up my studio so I could take some photos of my latest purchase, Alter's 1/8th Melty from Shining Hearts. Now… [more]
Pre-ordered this figure the moment she was released for pre-order. I needed for for multiple reasons, she's sexy/half naked, plus while she's not Sora she reminds me of Sora from Yosuga no Sora! But she's Yuki from Maid Yome and she's pretty amazing. The only issue is her adorable mouth really looks… [more]
I recently went on a trip to a magical place, The Container Store. Ok it's not really magical, but I happen to have discovered a love for organizing my home. I tend to prefer Ikea and Daiso but we went to The Container Store on a whim and I discovered this lovely storage container! I've been needing… [more]
Went to a Doll Meet up from Den of Angels today with my best friend and my brother. Took Yoko, Suika and my friend Sarah’s Sindri with us and we had a blast!
Mostly pictures we took during the photo competition, I took home second place which didn’t get me a prize but I’ll take an honorable mention! Also as you can see Yoko has scored herself a new wig!
We also finished up some more with Suika’s design, got her horns in today. She looks so amazing now that she’s almost complete!
My Brother sculpted the horns himself and I have to say he did a fine job! The detail is amazing!
Such a cutie!
Yoko wearing just some random clothes I had all thrown together in what became a lovely little outfit for her. Everyone loved the comboe of the dress shirt, obi and maid skirt!
I love this wig, it’s a lovely reddish brown I got from Dollmore. Needed some trimming and some detangling but seems to suit Yoko well enough.
My Friend Sarah’s Doll, his name is Sindri, He’s a Bobobi doll and was a hit at the doll meet.
Many people liked Yoko but she was the only DD at the meet.
Suika herself was the only MDD at the meet as well. Mot of the people there didn’t know of their internal skeleton and were asking many questions. I’m always surprised at meeting people who collect dolls yet don’t know of Dollfie Dreams. I guess I’m used to the Figure.fm community and how DDs are just so much more common now.
One of my favorite shots of Sarah’s doll.
A bit of wind made the wig a little frizzy but I do adore the windblown affect.
Yoko is also wearing a necklace I made for her at the meetup during a friendship bracelet making time.
The meet up was in this one antique shop and I spotted a drawer with little Teddy bears perfect for Yoko.
She cleaned them out!
Yoko seems to love her plushies!
I had a blast at this meetup, I’m sad that most of the photos I took inside during the meetup of other people’s dolls didn’t come out well since the lighting was quite poor inside. Next time I’m bringing some form of a lighting set-up to take much better pictures! I also scored an adorable hoodie for Yoko that once I get some pants for Yoko I’ll show off! I had so much fun and want to do so many more meetups like this! Maybe I’ll even set up some of my own after Anime Expo!
AX Live! Every Thursday at 7pm PST! We’ve been doing Giveaways recently so make sure to check out the show to be able to win some awesome prizes!! Plus every week we give away a 4day badge to the convention for 2011!

I hope you are going to the meet in August.
