Ready For My Close Up

October 25th, 2009 by admin

Finally!! I actually managed to take some artistic photos (my photos as of late have been for documentary purposes or just messing around). This is also the first time I’ve used my old SLR in over a year and I remember why I like it so much. Some of these are more on the artistic/abstract side but I couldn’t contain myself when I learned how to do a “hyper-macro” trick on my camera.

Enjoy this loose story of awakening, fresh and simple.

Good morning.

Good morning, YeunJa.

Good morning, Daigo.

Heh.

Royal/T Candyland Party

August 4th, 2009 by admin

Full set of photos located here.

The Royal/T Candyland Lolita party took place on Saturday and although I could only stay for less than 3 hours, I could tell this was one of the best meets I’ve ever been to. Wasabi’s efforts as well as everyone else’s were so clear and the event was a blast! I had so much fun hanging out with The_Madd_Hatter and seeing Ebi and GAUZE -mode of eve- again as well as meeting new people.

My girl!

Small Updates

July 26th, 2009 by admin

Oh my gosh, I just got my birthday gift and with that little boost, I’m very close to having enough to get Rosy!! Thank goodness she’s reasonably priced. Of course, Supia still does not have tan dolls so I will wait until they do.

Also, I’m INSANELY excited for the Royal/T Candy themed party this coming Saturday. I said I wasn’t going to have any themed outfits but I just got so excited that I made my girl an outfit, bought a matching wig, and bought myself a beautiful contrasting dress so that we make a really cute pair together. Perhaps I’ll have to carry her around the whole time instead of displaying her! I’m on the lookout for a wig this week for the final touch.

By the way, I was at a party yesterday and ended up meeting a lady who loves Blythes and wants to buy some. What a coincidence!! I told her about the Royal/T party. Doubt she’ll come, but man! What are the odds?! And if that’s not enough, she lives very close to the Artmaze store! Aagghh the coincidences!!

And last but not least in my current news (as if things couldn’t get any better)…..I’m ENGAGED!!!!!!! Woot!

Artmaze New Born Party 6/27

June 30th, 2009 by admin

I had the pleasure of going to Artmaze’s latest party and I’d have to say this has to be one of the best meets I’ve been to yet! We got to meet the president of Dollheart, Pasu Lau, along with one of the designers, and then got to see a fashion show of human-sized Dollheart fers and fashions! Not only that, but everyone’s dolls looked even fancier with their Dollheart outfits. They looked so good, in fact, that I finally gave in and pre-ordered an outfit for Hazy. I loved talking to Gauze -mode of eve-, Anhelika, Mr. Postman, Ebi, Ms. Cholong (of course), and everyone else who I’m finally getting to know. I took a ton of photos so please take a look!

I took soooo many photos. See the full set by clicking here!

Volks USA Mini Meet

May 11th, 2009 by admin

I was able to slip into the Volks USA Tenshi no Sumika mini meet for a short time and although I sadly didn’t really get to hang out, I am so glad I got to meet zetoast in person, say hi to a few people I recognized but had never met, and reunite with Haru-Ru and Gauze -mode of eve- again. Enjoy these photos I took.

Elfdoll Spring Party

April 7th, 2009 by admin

Saturday was Elfdoll’s Easter/Spring Party and I wasn’t originally planning on attending (didn’t want to go alone) but after remembering how hospitable and great Ms. Cholong is, I couldn’t resist! In the end, I’m so glad I went because I met great new people, got to know others better, and the variety of dolls was even more amazing than last time. Wow!

View the full set by clicking here! There’s lots more but I want to focus on only a few.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many incredible dolls together at once.

These perfectly sized and functional bikes were a popular topic of conversation.

I thought my Hazy and this girl looked so nice together. They were both in the “put together” (not made by you) contest.

My Ryu holding my really, really old Obitsu (circa 2002). I had fun making the bunny ears!

This Cocori is just AMAZING!

This gorgeous head was painted by SDink and sold for $100! If I had known it would be there, I would have bought it! I’m glad I finally got to see her work in person, though.

Royal/T Mad Tea Party

March 23rd, 2009 by admin

Art gallery/maid cafe/boutique Royal/T hosted its Alice in Wonderland Mad Tea Party on Saturday night and it was incredible! Not only were the dolls wonderful but I became so distracted talking to friends and meeting new people that I actually enjoyed the company more than the dolls. LA Weekly did a fantastic job of describing the event as “a cross between a gallery event and a nightclub” but I’m here to show you my photos. I took sooooo many (and you can thank my mom for some of these, as she actually attended, too!) so if you would like to see all the crazy mischief, check out the full set on Flickr. I might just edit these photos to look better so feel free to check back in a bit.
