Dark Dollhouse

Another great meet with lovely dollies and their owners.

Only hung out for a short while as had a Mika concert to go to in the evening, which was great btw!

So much candy! Thanks to all who sponsored that mountain!

Made Cinnamon an outfit that was just cut and sew but turned out really well despite that fact. Rather pleased with it actually. Sometimes the whole pattern making thing is just too tiring and boring.

Chibis by Krowbar are amazing! Named them Madicken and Elisabet after the Swedish novels by Astrid Lindgren. Madicken is a bit of a tomboy and trouble maker and her little sister Elisabet is more sweet and innocent – thought it fitted them well.

And made Elisabet a new dress that I thought would fit her but now has turned out too small due to the nature of the fabric – bummer – think I will have to sell it on Etsy… Don’t really see Hel wearing it – somehow a little too flowery – but maybe… Will leave it for a while anyway.

Normally never go out on Valentines as the whole roses and hearts thing kinda gives me the creeps but did this year.

However, in a dollie context it is more digest able and  rather sweet ^^

Met at Edinboro Castle as has become the habit for these mini meets and were approached by staff who asked if they could snap some pics of our dolls and put on their Facebook page. Sure thing!

Good day out!

Oh, and made Sasara new PJ for the meet from a sale PJ.

And handed Chibis over to Krowbar to get faces – can’t wait to see them finished ^^

I got an early B-pressie from hubby today: Spanking brand new Canon EOS500D with a basic lense.

Opened box and manual was in French O.o
Well, I do understand and read a bit of French but ehm, not so much that I will be able to decipher a manual.
However, I am not a big fan of manuals anyway.
The way I see it: If a product requires a manual it is not very user friendly anyway. Functions should be intuitive and logical and work in a common sense kind of way.

So, started playing around with varied results which I decided to share for all to see lol!

Enjoy!

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.

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!!!

Getting over a cold so was a bit on the tired side today.

Arrived around noon and walked up and down and found no-one So had a rest on a bench watching all the cos players walk by.

Darth Vader and his stormtroopers walked by a couple of times with a couple of siths on on tow.
And a couple of Yoko’s who, I am really sorry, looked far from right. Did see one later on that was more like it so that was cool.
Lots of free hugs and kisses available as usual and the predator and alien team.

After watching the crowd for around an hour had another tour and found the group ^^

Was good to meet people from Rezindolz that I had not met before.

Badness was not so bad today, why not? LOL
Maybe because of less crossdressing men

Oh, and introduced the dolls to a nice girl and her dad and gave them my card so if you are reading this, hello ^^
If you got any questions, feel free to send me a mail.

All pics here. Bit of adult content. Be warned..

My new vinyl girl from a manga I don’t know – just thought she looked cute. Think she will be called Striker as the manga has something like that in the title. And Yoko in her new swimsuit.

Pretty new face

Mauzi got back!

Only, and it turned out crappy, pic of Cinnamon ><

Raven’s unruly pair

Another pretty new face

Hello Kitty!

Pumpkin King Archie.


Super cutie

Krowbar’s creations

The theme for today was Alice in Wonderland and I made Yoko the Queen of Hearts and Sasara Alice. I was planning on making Cinnamon the rabbit but I ran out of time so now I am stuck with some checked ribbon >< Oh well, I am sure I will find a use for it at some point.

As always the badness took hold at the end of the day but most of the day was good clean family fun

My commission fitted fine btw so yay!

And got rid of a pair of boots that I had been lying around for a year without being used so another yay!

Oh, and sold a dress ^^

Lovely day at the Royal Festival Hall with lots of dolls and new faces + a visitor from Australia who just happened to be in London.

Note to self, should try that when on holiday somewhere with time to spare, seek out a BJD meet ^^

All pics here.

No comments

Callum91’s gorgeous Cocori

Big horns!

Just because they are cute ^^

Amazing balancing act!

Come here boys!

Made Yoko some new clothes ^^

I felt she needed a body suit so started making one.

The boobs turned out to be a challenge as well as her very curved back but managed to get nice straight lines and a good fit.

First fit sample

Sideseam was not good

Back looked good

Second fitsample and the sideseam issue was almost sorted

Third fitsample worked well, only had to amend the pattern slightly on the crotch area

And sleeves was done in first attempt

Actual bodysuit and stockings – wanted them to be in the same colour but did not have enough of either fabric. Think it actually worked out pretty ok anyway.

Kimono top fitsample, pretty simple, just had to add to the length and the width of the sleeves

And made a hair-thingy as well when I gave up for the night on the kimono top

All done! She needs some boots…

Bit windy ^^



Some of the detailing, made these to cover the not very nice looking zig-zag seams

Danny.Choo.com is having a Dollfie giveaway contest that I decided I actually could cope entering. Was kinda worried I would not get Yoko in time but as she arrived Monday woohoo – however, due to other things picture taking was postponed until today, very last minute, I know.

My submission is to be found here on Figure.fm.
