"Wheeeeee...!!!"


"Wheeeeee...!!!", originally uploaded by esmereldes.

These are from before Christmas too.

The mailbox was actually being sold by the Post Office. Isn't it cute?

Pucchi is happy because she's sending a present to her friend...



Did anything come for me?

Reina is checking her mailbox everyday to see if Pucchi's package has arrived!


The little mailbox is a Christmas ornament I picked up this year.

Late Christmas Stickers


Happy Holidays!, originally uploaded by esmereldes.




I took this picture to use for my christmas cards. At this point, it hadnt snowed at al yet, so I had to fake it! (strangely we had warm weather and no snow until February. Since then we've had a couple of snowfalls. The warm weather actually departed mid-January tho, come to think of it. Just no snow until Feb...) Unfortunately, it took so long for the photo company I used to send me these stickers that (altho they did arrive before christmas, I'm just late posting the picture!) I couldn't use them. So I guess they'll be going out next year....

Rebecca makes a pretty convincing boy, I think!

I think Mayura looks great in Rebecca's hair! She looks like a fox girl! Avril is wearing a coat that came on a Last Exile figure (Alvis) that came with the special edition of the first Last Exile DVD. I'm not sure if this figure is still available anymore, but it works great for Pinkys (and credit goes to freebento - as in the store, the store owner posted a photo of a Pinky in the coat on the pinky forum - and not me, for thinking of this!). As a bonus, in addition to matching the RM boots (of course, since they are designed by the same person!), it covers up the balloon pants... ;)

I thought they very much looked like RPG characters in these outfits!

MOOoooooo

Moo cards are great! Anyone want to trade with me? I really want to start trading them! :)

The pink boots from the Sakura Wars pinky are another one of those pieces it is hard to find a use for. They look kind of cute under a coat tho! They'd probably look even better if the coat had gold buttons, but I'm not sure I'm motivated enough to bother with that particular mod. I need to stockpile some more coats tho, they're so great in the winter!

All these "snow" photos are in my parking lot at work. Running outside during the afternoon is the best I can do for outdoor photos lately. It's not precisely a gorgeous landscape, but it does have daylight and convenient access... (esp. considering it is *freezing* and I don't want to walk anywhere!)

Rebecca

Rebecca of the Wild Arms girls sporting the "sexy librarian" look. I've had a lot of trouble with these boots (from one of the RM girls - by which I mean "Range Murata". It's so confusing - there's RM pullips too, but those are "Rozen Maiden". Weird that I have two hobbies with the same abbreviation at the same time). Anyway, the boots didn't plug into any tops except for the one it came with. I got disgusted with this, so I grabbed my razor blade and shaved it down a bit. So, technically, this is my first "custom". XD

It was surprisingly easy and satisfying to cut thru the plastic. I came very close to hacking down a pair of RM balloon pants immediately after, but I decided to restrain myself until I was more prepared to sand/repaint, etc.

I think I might get a second set of the Wild Arms girls tho specifically to modify. I think the cowboy boots, for instance, could be used under skirts as regular legs if I shaved off the hip pouches. I really have to start doing some painting tho, because I'm starting to build up extra sets, which is just stupid.

The RM front hair doesn't quite match, color-wise, but if you arent looking closely (and if the light is not so bright as it is here) you don't really notice. And I like that it makes her just a little more casual. If I ever get around to doing repaints, I have to repaint both of these pieces to a more normal color. I like the style! Esp. minus the back hair piece, this seems much more casual and cute...

In truth, this front hair doesn't "plug in" very well to the hat, but as far as the style, I think it goes with the hat perfectly! Besides, Hana pretty much owns this hat, for whatever reason, and I think she looks best as a redhead.

Super Bowl Sunday


Super Bowl Sunday, originally uploaded by esmereldes.

I'm not actually watching the game... I'm sorry! I just can't get into football. I can't get into the ads either.... But I thought the little hat was cute! It's from a capsule toy machine.

I hope all you football (and advertising) fans out there are enjoying the game and/or your Super Bowl parties tho!



(still so many photos to catch up on posting here.... wah!)
