Not been very active on the doll scene lately so was good to get to the monthly London meet this month ^^

Had a good chat with both old and new attendees and took a few photos.

Brought my new bunny Mamachapp that I am tempted to name Bunny, Sonja, Pino and Kanu.
Wanted to bring Chloe but just could not be bothered lugging her weight around in the heat.

I am revising my collection as well, I have for a very long time been complaining about space issues and now is the right time to do something about it.

Going to concentrate on my Unoas and Dollfie Dreams which means my Soom and some Iplehouse will have to leave the house for good.

On a grey November Sunday morning I ventured out with my packed suitcases, camera bag and my ticket for the London doll event of the year: Midwinter Masked Ball.

Arrived at the pub before everyone else and started to be a bit worried that I had either gotten the address wrong or the dates mixed up…

Everyone finally started showing up about 15 minutes late and setting up could finally commence.

It was an epic day with lots of socialising, putting faces on user names, meeting up with new and old peeps, taking lots of photos, having a really good pub buffet, competitions and general sillyness.

A few of us ended up in Wong Kei for dinner which was equally epic although I am not a huge fan of their food, the company was brilliant!

Huge thanks to Madame Mau Mau of the Nacht Zircus for arranging this and hope that we can all help bring this back for next year if all goes well!

Not sure if we beat the Russians this time but we sure made a bloody good effort!!!

This was the day after chasing around London after the Tokyo Trooper. Was a bit tired and a bit stressed out over all the things that I had not done the day before but decided to head out anyway as it was ages since I had seen Mich.

Took me two hours on the train on a journey that normally takes one hour >.< Stupid Sunday maintenance work.

Finally arrived after getting increasingly nervous that I was on the wrong train after Mau and Mich kept telling me I was not going in the right direction.

The rest of the party was having a sleepover in another part of town and well, over slept + did not have the address
They were a little delayed ^^

Great day, tried a lot of different lenses and got a few photos of the experiments.

Last time we arrived on the day of the Dollshow and this meant that I was majorly jet-lagged and we had all our luggage with us and hubby had to sit on it for the two-three hours it took me to ‘run’ through all the floors.

So decided that this time, we were gonna arrive a couple of days before so that well, I would be awake and not miss half of the thing and hubby could come in too!

Still managed to arrive late because I managed to get us lost at the station. Seriously, don’t ask. I think it was because I secretly did not want a MamaChapp…

Anyway, after 15 minutes of faffing around in the wrong direction we arrived at the Dollshow.

I spurted towards the Mai Little Alien stall to get some of Chun’s outfits for my DD girls but well, they were sold out in like *drumroll* 15 minutes >.<

Oh well, got talking to Mai instead and ended up buying a pair of her Unoa jeans as she had made enough stock to last more than 15 minutes *nudge nudge to Chun * – very nice quality btw!

After that rush I went for the Araki stand in the hope I would find the MamaChapp stand somewhere along the way.

Picked up a Little Princess outfit from there for my Chibis.

After that, was not too bothered since well, the MamaChapp was again not to be.
So we wandered the floors and took a few photos that well, turned out a bit random as the light was well, randon

Picked up a few bits and pieces but not a lot as I was hoping for a good number at Dolpa ^^

Great day!
Had a late lunch/ early dinner afterwards at one of the food places in the area with a food ticket machine.
Best dumplings ever!
For the amazing cost of 100yen!!!

Great day yet again ^^

Was hoping that some of the people attending the Danny Choo SOAS talk was gonna pop by but unfortunately no, could have been fun! Maybe they will turn up at EXPO.

Anyways, found out that one of the people that I chatted to at the DC event was a friend of a friend of Mao’s and they had recently been out bowling. How small the world is!

Was good seeing Mao again after her being tucked away studying somewhere up North I think and great seeing a lot of new dolls and their owners.

Not so sure it was good seeing Horse and Blood dressed up as babies but maybe in some sort of weird parallel universe kind of way it might have been Dunno. Still speculating.

Actually arrived on time for a change, instead of my stupidly late arrival last time that made me miss like, well, everyone. And managed to have breakfast with hubby before leaving as well. And doing some pattern making but that is another story.

First meet of 2010 was full of new people and lots of new dollies.

The badness was somewhat limited but there was a lot of posing dolls on their heads…

And I forgot my phone at home so no tweeting O.o which was a bit frustrating but survived.

Home after a very cosy Tiny meet at Teddy’s place.

I had a vague notion that there were trams in London however, I have never seen one before today or tried one here – Now I have I wonder why they are not all over the place? Guess space is an issue…

Wimbledon is very pretty – Never been there before so a bit of an adventure within London for me.

Teddy found me some very very VERY nice black long boots for my chibis!!! He did not use them so I bought them of him ^^ They are luvly – on my twitter.

And I got a wig for my sugar as well, something is better than nothing until I sort her out a permanent one… Whenever that might be ><

Oh, and had an offer of a free faceup and blushing for the Chibis! I think I might take it as I am rubbish at getting around to it.

On the wrong computer so will post some piccies later – did not take that many as so busy just looking and speaking to new people.

Right – Finally downloaded the pics and uploaded to Picasa albums ><
Not that many + I discovered that I actually didn't really take any of my Chibis??? Only one here and one on Twitter. Shame on me!

Was picking up my PUKIs outside the Erotica show in London over the weekend and decided that I might as well go in and have a peek.

Not really a dollie venue, if you disregard the blow up kind of which I actually saw none lol, but the setting was just right for the naughty ones ^^

I did not bring any of my own so enjoy MauMau’s , Raven’s and Mich’s little naughty darlings.

Went to Tokyo for the first time in my life and one of the main reasons to go at this time of year was to see the Dollshow.

Was planning to meet up with a DOA member but unfortunately her cat got sick

So, would have liked to bring hubby along inside but we could not find anywhere to park our suitcases at the station so he had to sit watch. Thank you!

It was slightly disappointing, not sure why, but maybe it was because I was really jetlagged and could not really take it all in + the fact that I don’t speak any Japanese at all and most there spoke no English at all. So having a chat with stall holders were out of the question. There was lot of bowing though and smiling which was pretty cool ^^

Best thing about it was the Araki stand. Seeing Unoa stuff for sale in real life instead of just online was really surreal. Did not buy anything though as I got a tonne of unpainted stuff floating around so could not justify it, although it was very very tempting, no shopping service fee and no customs! Wauw.
And asked the nice lady at the stand if I could either steal or buy one of the Chibi Unoas but for some weird reason she said no??? Odd woman!

Oh, and was great to see all the vinyl dolls there, so tempted to buy some Momoko but did not. Just would never use them for anything at all other than look at, which I guess is not a bad thing but one has got to prioritise ^^

All pics from the Dollshow regardless of quality lol here..

The 2nd floor – this was where people could bring their dollies. There were mostly Dollfie Dreams there but did see a few resin girls and boys as well.


View of one of the floors – there were three this size! It was absolute massive.



There were soooo many cute Dollfie Dreams there





Loved this one with her very own Dollfie Dream ^^

And loads of Momokos on display and for sale *dribble* I wish I had endless amounts of cash and space *sigh*






These were slightly strange, lifesize dolls – slightly creepy in a cute kinda way…

When only being used to seeing clothes for sale in virtual reality then seeing it up close in real life was rather surreal, and there was loads of surreality around for sure.


Another surreal thing was these trays with heads in them. There were people sitting discussing them and examining them at tables next to them. Not sure what that was all about? Looked a bit like stamp collectors to me spotting minor differences in otherwise identical moulds and paint jobs.

Some fantastic wings for sale

There were loads of Pullips and Blythes as well, so cute, ended up buying some mini ones on my last day in Tokyo – could not withstand the cuteness although I have no idea what to use them for ><





These were interesting – silicone dolls with no visible joints. They looked a little eerie with no faces though…





Mamma Chapps were completely sold out when I arrive which was late afternoon. Shame, would have loved to get one for myself as well as a forum friend. Oh well, next time I will not arrive on the same day of the show





There were quite a few Soom dolls hanging around the place




Not sure who these girls were but sexy ^^



These were interesting, not sure who they were either. Took a picture of the brand name, have to check it out.



Araki stand!!!
