Again with some Jointed Love

... see what I did there?

With the title?

See that?

Yeah... I'm a total dork.

Anyhow,

I took some pictures of Alna and Bird.

Both of their face-ups are by the very talented 

Jointed Love

Click above to go check out the blog. Seriously.

It's worth checking out... even if you don't want to have a faceup done :)

Alna is wearing a beautiful sweater,

made by Liz over at Work In Progress

If you check out her etsy shop, she has quite a few colors to choose from,

should you want one of your own!

You should check it out too... the fit is AWESOME,

and, well... look at her... Alna is rockin' that sweater!

Miss Bird also enjoyed the outdoors a bit!

She's gone from having white hair to being a redhead though, lol!

Yeah... I'm so in love with their new looks. *nod*

Ghoultide Gathering 2013

Waaaay back in 2009 I went to an event called

Ghoultide Gathering...

and I had a TERRIBLE time.

The venue was too small,

and the ladies who were there to buy stuff were rude as HECK.

Pushing, pulling, jabbing...

both my Mom and I got pushed (literally) out of the way

on several occasions, 

and had things actually snatched from our hands.

It was shocking... and awful...

and I wrote to the folks who organized it and told them our experience,

and said we wouldn't be returning unless they,

at the very least,

got a bigger venue.

Well... at some point they did...

but I still wasn't ready to go back...

until this year!!

I have to say, the 2013 Ghoultide Gathering

was a COMPLETELY different experience.

It was AWESOME. :)

One of the most revered artists there was Scott Smith

of Rucus Studio (he's also one of the organizers)

His stuff was amazing, and almost completely sold out just 15 minutes after the show opened.

I had taken my little Neemo, Samantha,

the first Neemo I ever bought, and one of the Witches of the Majokko Shop

with me, and she had a blast!

Here are some of our pictures!

Can you spot Samantha in the picture above? XD

Can you spot her again?!

I will definitely be going back next year!

Jointed Love is AMAZING

Recently I was lucky enough to win a lottery faceup slot with Jointed Love.

Click on the image above to visit her blog (a blog well worth following!!!)

So I sent her in my two Alna girls (Alna and Bird)

and told her that Alna is a Japanese Idol singer (her background story from Volks)

while Bird is her younger sister, and a folk singer.

Let me introduce you to the new Alna and Bird!

(all of the following photos are ©JointedLove and are used with her permission)

Alna:(Normal Skin Alna)

Bird:(White Skin Alna)

I always wanted my Alnas to be more glamorous and beautiful...

These two are just perfect... I cannot recommend Jointed Love enough :)

Kana returns!

Sorry for the silence, guys, I was on my Honeymoon! XD

Anyways, perhaps you remember poor Kana?

Well, she's back, and better than ever!

I rerooted her in aqua, and styled her new hair... and she's awfully cute!

Here's a shot of the back of her hair:

And of her part:

(her front most hair is pulled back and tied in the back of her head under her hair... which is why it looks different from the rest of her hair falling to the sides...)

Finally, here she is with her "opposite" sister (aqua eyes and pink hair), Kinoko:

Thanks for looking!

Volks Dollfie Dream Miku Preorder

So, all the details aren't out quite yet...

but it looks like Volks is going to be releasing

a Vocaloid Miku

for preorder!

What does that mean?

Well, everyone has a chance to enter,

and be certain to get,

preorder dolls.

Unlike their "lotteries" where you enter for a chance to win a slot

to pay them a lot of money,

in a Preorder, you're guaranteed to pay them a lot of money.

Haha!

Seriously though, it's nice for them to do things this way

when releasing really popular characters that will be highly

coveted by collectors.

Anyways, no details on preorder periods yet,

but here are some pics:
