Jun and Coraline... a day for blue hair.

Jun is trying out a new look:

Jun: Oh! Hi, guys... I just thought I'd change it up a little... what do you think?

Jun: I really like this blue hair!

Jun: Do you think my mismatched shoes are too much? I kinda
want to dress in a "fruits" style fashion!

And Coraline is just cute, lol.

(ps, Coraline has a little kid speech impediment just like my brother used to have, hehe)

Coraline: Why ow you taking my pict-chew again? I wook the same!

Me: Because you're so cute!

Coraline: Youw dumb, I'm weaving.

Me: T_T

(pps, yes, Coraline has a little fox tail, because the only undies
that currently fit her are my Mamachapp's,

and my Mamachapp's default outfit was

a Shrine Maiden Fox Spirit, LOL!)

Friday Funnies: Krispy Kreme Caper

Now, I know I promised to give you
the comics I've teased you with the last two weeks...

But this week I've been struggling with
some very bad news about my favorite kitty,

William the Bloody.

He is pretty sick, we're not sure if he'll make it,

and he's getting a feeding tube in today...

and I'll have to feed him mush through it

until he decides to start eating again.

So instead, here is a little comic
highlighting a moment in William History.

Will LOVES Krispy Kremes.

Like... an unholy love.

So, when I used to have a roommate,

her mother would come down from Alpena

and always buy a box of Krispy Kremes.

Well... I warned her right away,

"Do not leave those unguarded,

Will aboslutely will steal them!"

So what does she do?

Puts a Krispy Kreme on a plate, goes over to

the arm chair, sits down, and puts the donut

down on the table while she reads.

Well... about 15 seconds later, the following happened:

Roommate's Mom: GRAAAAAAUGH!!! GIMME BACK MY KRISPY KREME!!!

I was standing in the hallway, and saw this little black flash run by with
a Krispy Kreme in his mouth (that would be Will)... then heard

the thundering of my roommate's mom as she
tried to chase him down.

All I could do was shake my head and laugh.

That Krispy Kreme was gone.

NOTE: My roommate's mom is not actually an ogre... 

but there had to be a villian to this story...

and while it should have been Will,

I DID warn her that he was a

Krispy Kreme thief.

Carrot'ude

Me: Hey Carrot, what's up?

Carrot: Nothing much, just playing my PSP.

Me: Carrot, are you a button masher?!

Carrot: Yeah, so what?

Me: That takes no skill... no finesse! Anyone can button mash!

Carrot: No way! It's an art form!

Me: It's for people to lazy to learn the combos!!

Carrot: *HUMPH* Talk to the hand!

Me: Wha??? 0_0 Where did you even learn that saying?!

... sometimes Neemos are inexplicably moody.

Now on to the "tour" part of this post.

I spent the better part of last night putting away
my goodies from Gencon (a post about that soon),
and setting up a new spot for my Dollfie Dream girls
to hang out, so I thought I'd share some pics of where some of
my dolls live while they're at home:

 Here's Pidge, Alna and Jun in their new spot atop the manga...
Pidge: Where'd all those little dolls go?
Alna: I don't know, but I like it! I mean... not that I mind the little guys...
but they can get kinda pushy sometimes.
Jun: Oooh, manga!

Here's the view zoomed out a little...
although I only just now noticed the one bookshelf
still has the lint roller, tissues and air freshener on it -_-

But yeah, the girls have a corner of the room all to themselves now,
I quite like it!
No more getting lost on a shelf with a million Pure Neemo!!

Speaking of Pure Neemo...
Well, ok, you can only see one in this picture.
That top shelf is *usually* filled with the PN girls,
but right now it's housing all of the
custom painted Monster High dolls I made,
and that AWESOME wand cabinet
Tony @ Miniature Treasures made.

Next to the bookshelf, you can see my wine rack cart XD
It's currently housing my boyfriend's collection of tequilas,
and the wines we brought back from vacation!

Bear in a Bear Hat!

http://www.dannychoo.com/post/en/26650/Mirai+Suenaga+Nendoroid+Giveaway.html

Here is the product description on Good Smile Company's page
(Good Smile is the company producing the Mirai Nendo)

Mirai Suenaga, the mascot character from the Culture Japan TV show and main character of the original story 'Mirai Millennium' is joining the Nendoroid series! Her standard expression is based on Nao Shirahane's illustration of Mirai, but she also comes two different smiling expressions based on illustrations from the Moekana cards illustrated by Ikkyuu.

A variety of extras are also included to display together with Mirai, including a Japanese flag, Nendoroid-sized Moekana card, Mirai-chan's sidekick Retrokyu and even a miniature itasha featuring Tasuku Iizuki's illustration of Mirai on the bonnet.

A miniature pack of the original 50 Moekana cards plus six brand new cards are also included, so you can continue to improve your hiragana as well!

The Moekana cards are perfect for 1/3 or 1/4 scale dolls!
(below are two of Danny's Dollfie Dream girls, aren't they cute?!)

You can preorder her from all of the following sites:

• Order from AmiAmi (Worldwide shipping) - Includes Exclusive Moekana IC Sticker.
  
• Order from Hobby Search (Worldwide shipping)

Danny's site is also filled with many, many wonderful
free image downloads of Mirai, in psd format, even!
Of course you can't use them commercially without permission...
but even so, it's awfully nice of Danny to share PSD files at all.

Here is what Mirai looks like in non-Nendo form :)
