Something is bothering Anna...

Anna: Isn't it beautiful here, Alisa?

Alisa: Yes, Heather's parents have a lovely property.

*wind whistles through the dogwood*

Alisa: There's a lot of time to sit here and think.

*more wind whistles through the dogwood*

 

Alisa: What are you thinking about, Anna?

Anna: That thing.

Alisa: What thing?

Anna: That thing, in the middle of the yard...

Anna: It was just there... 

Anna: and I don't know why.

Pidgeon: A new 1/3 girl joins the flock

You've already met Alna,

well, now meet Pidgeon.

We call her Pidge for short.

She is a

DDS Ms. Mariko

and she's just moved in.

 Here she is with my girl, Alna
(Pidge is a White Skin Dollfie Dream Sister... she is the one with the blonde hair)

Here is her story:

A high school teacher on the weekdays.
A secretive cosplayer on the weekend.

Ms. Mariko.
She is our Japanese teacher, who is a little bit sweet.
Her class is really clear to understand. She is really knowledgeable and good with classic Japanese and claassic Chinese as well, though she teaches contemporary Japanese.
Moreover, she is kind and beautiful. So, she is a wonderful teacher who is popular among us students.
I think it's kind of cute that she's too short to reach the top of the blackboard.

But she feels a little reserved. I mean, her private life is mysterious because she has never told us about her hobbies and such. I wonder if she spends her days off reading some kind of difficult books or something.

Following Akira, "Ms. Mariko" makes her debut as a Dollfie Dream! She won the top prize in the Recruiting a New Character for the "Afterschool Akihabara Girls" as a part of the DD 7th Anniversary Seven Special Commemorative Projects!
A teacher at Moe's school and a secret cosplayer, this eccentric teacher, Ms. Mariko, joins the "Afterschool Akihabara Girls!" 

I'm not sure how much of this will come into play for my girl... I'm pretty sure she will be the school teacher for all of my Pure Neemos though! But secret cosplayer? I'm not so sure, LOL.

 

Here are her company default pics:

An Easter Basket!

Alisa: Hey, Anna, this arrived today, what do you think it is?

Anna: I dunno, but we should probably open it and find out.

Nora: Now stop it, you two. You know full well that this arrived BEFORE Easter. Heather even took all these photos before Easter... then she got sick again. She's so unreliable.

Nora: Thankfully, the sender of this lovely basket left a very detailed note:

Dear Nora, 

I know Heather is an unreliable louse, but you are very trustworthy.

That's why I am sending this basket to you, and trusting that you will carry on my good name,

letting the people of the world know that this did, IN FACT, arrive on time, before the holiday of Easter, and was NOT, in fact, late at all. Heather is just a loser.

Love Elly.

Alisa: It does NOT say that, Nora!!! You're awful!!!! This is from a lovely person named Elly who doesn't mind at all because she already knows we got it and love it!!! Don't be so mean, Nora, or I'll make you write all the thank you notes!!!!

 Anna: Yeah, and there will be a LOT of thank you notes! I can already tell this gift is gonna be great!

Anna: Just look at this awesome hair bow!
It matches my outfit and everything!!!

Nora: Ok, fine, but if I have to write all the thank you notes, I get this pencil that was in the basket... it only seems fair that this should be my present.

Alisa: Seems fair, it's covered in monsters and you're being a monster! Haha!

Nora: Hey!

Anna: Come on, guys, look at all this cool stuff!

Anna: There are three bunnies, how did she know three of us would be opening the basket??

Nora: It was VERY excellent planning on Elly's part.

Alisa: I like Elly.

Anna: I gotta try this thing out!

Alisa: Be careful, Anna... I'm not sure that's such a good idea...

Anna: I'll be fine!

Anna: I just gotta.... a...aaaaaaaa!!!!

Anna: Maybe that wasn't such a good idea...

Alisa: These necklaces are so beautiful, I want to wear one right away!

The little card they come on is so cute too!

Nora: This baby dino is so tiny, he needs me to take care of him, for sure. Plus he matches my outfit perfectly... it's like he was meant for me.

Anna: Who's my little ice cream cone? Who's mommy's little ice cream cone? Imma gonna eatchoo all up, yes I am, yes I am!

Alisa: Uh, Anna, that's just creepy... plus... that's a pen.

Anna: What?!

 Nora: Oh SWEET HEAVENS what is that!!!

Alisa: Look! Elly sent us these lovely hair clips too! Aren't they beautiful!!

Nora: I don't think you're supposed to wear them all at once -_-;;;

The girls open the final box:

 Alisa: EEEE

Anna: Oh my goodness!

Nora: These look so tasty!!

Nora: It looks like Elly made us all delicious snacks!

Alisa: We will have to thank her!

Nora: Look, there is even a super cute bunny cake! How did she do this?!

Anna: I don't know, but we'll have to think of an appropriate thank you!

Alisa: Oh, most certainly... until then...

Everyone: THANK YOU, ELLY!!!!!

The Odds Were Against Me...

Well, I went and did it.

I preordered the Katniss Barbie.

©Mattel

With the mild controversy surrounding her, I didn't want to miss out on her like I did the Toki Doki girl.

I don't really foresee her selling out, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Plus, with my Barbie Club Rewards, she was under $20 shipped, which is awesome.

Katniss will happily live on my desk when she arrives in August. :)

I promise my other Barbies won't be trying to kill her.

Well... except maybe the Wicked Witch.

She's always trying to kill young girls with brown braided hair.

Another Mini Me???

Everyone who has seen this girl has said...

"You know, Heather... this could be another Mini Me for you..."

... really?!

Meet Nora:

She looks shocked to have her picture taken XD

Nora is a:

Pure Neemo Anaru Naruko Anjo

Here is what she looked like stock:

As you can see, yet another girl in a school uniform -_-;;;

I have so many school uniforms... it's not funny.

I do like that hers comes with a red skirt though, that's something different at least!

Anyhow, I gave her glasses, and now she seems perfect to me XD

She is an M size body Neemo.

I'm really loving Nora! XD

Neemo Mail Delivery comes with a price

Alna: Hello! You've never met me before, but I live here with the Neemos. I'm a 1/3 scale doll, so I'm quite a bit bigger than they are... but we get along quite well.

Unlike the Neemos, I have changeable eyes and hair, so please don't be alarmed if you see me with many different looks!

Alna: Today I thought I'd show you my extensive wardrobe...

Kana: Hey! Hey!! You up there! Alna!

Alna: Huh? Oh, what is it, Kana?

Kana: Some packages arrived for you... sort of.

Alna: Sort of? *thinks* and how is she pushing these boxes with just her fingertips?? She has hidden strength!!!

Kana: Well, really the big box is for Neris, but since she moved out, I guess you can have it.

Alna: Uhm... ok... -_-;;;

Claire: Hello, Big Sister! I see we got packages?

Alna: WTF?!

Claire: What? Can't I be your little sister? We all have weird colored hair, we're all cute... we all love clothes... I think that makes us related.

Alna: I'm pretty sure it doesn't... but... ok.

Kana: This box is moving.

Kana: I'm gonna stand over by Claire while you open it, Alna.

Claire: Yeah, we'll hang over here. You go for it.

Alna: Ok... *gulp*

Alna: OOOH, he's a big squishy Tiger-face!!!! Squishy, squishy, squishy!

Claire: *yoink* Ahh, Tiger! Tigers are my favorite!

Alna: HEEEY!

Claire: Oh come on... you still have a whole package just for you, and this was technically for Neris anyways... and I have *sob* NO WORLDLY POSSESSIONS...

Alna: Oh my... ok... I guess that's ok then.

Kana: Oh, ok, since we're dividing this package up, I'm taking these.

Alna: HEY! WAIT A MINUTE!

Kana: I want the candies cuz they're small like me and I like small like me things and you have a whole other package just for you and we have nothing because nobody sent us anything but they sent Neris something but she moved out before she got it so I want the small candies that are small like me!!!!

Alna: *sigh* OK.

Kana: Thank you, Alna, you are very kind.

Alna: So I've heard... but let's not forget the most important part. This awesome package came from Traveller, our friend who lives all the way in England! Thank you so much!!!

Alna: Now I get to open the package that is just for me! Pink ponies!!! This person knows me well... pink and sparkly is my thing!

Alna: OMG, look at this tiny, adorable, nerdy Hello Kitty with Rhinestones... I think she's just the cute.s....t.... 

Kana: I'll take that.

Alna: Hey! I thought you said this bag was just for me!

Kana: I did... but I was wrong... that kitty is for me. See, it's small and perfect and nerdy with glasses just like me. I'm sure it was meant for me. I think it being in your package was just a mistake.

Alna: Well, I don't think so, but if you ask nicely, I'll let you have it.

Kana: Can I please have the Hello Kitty? Please?

Alna: Yeeees. Of course.

Kana: YAY! *scampers off*

Alna: Wow! Look at all this other awesome stuff that was in the bag!!

Claire: *peeks* Cool... someone has good taste, who's it from, and what's in the box with the ribbon?

Alna: Oh wow, there's a three page note here from milkytea and Mimette... Mimette was the girl I chose to send my Valentines gift to... although I just had to send some to milkytea's girls Clover, Thistle and Claire too. They all have such AMAZING style!

Claire: Yeah, yeah, open the box!

Alna: Oh, there's a note.... I wonder what's in this box??

It says... it's something... I... I can wear?????

(for those of you who don't know, Alna is a CLOTHES FREAK)

Alna: !!!!!!!!

Alna: *passes out*

Claire: Alna? Alna! Are you ok?? What's going on?! Alna?!

 Alna: *murmurs* shoooooes *drool*

Claire: Wow... Alna is a freak.

 

Thank you so much for a lovely White Day gift, milkytea!

I don't know how you knew... but these shoes are just perfect for Alna!
