Café meet-up ♥

We had a fun Sunday meet-up with some friends again, yaaay~ Sarg couldn't make it this time, but otherwise we had the same group as in the last meetup :) So there was me, Spica, Tiinyan, Janina and our new addition Elina, who I wanted to invite as well ♥

This time we went to a café and ordered some yummy things, I chose Daim chocolate cake and lemon ice tea :3 They were both delicious, I think I've never had ice tea that tasted so good! Hopefully we'll visit there sometime again! ♥ Though I'm such a cheapskate when it comes to food... I wonder how I can buy expensive dolls, figures, etc. without thinking "hey, that's expensive!", but every time I go to a café or a restaurant I cringe a bit at the prices, thinking how much stuff I'd get from a grocery store with the same amount hahah XD (Like 20 chocolate donuts from Lidl...) But oh well, I guess it's good to spoil yourself from time to time!

I feel bad that I didn't take individual photos of all dolls that were present, like Elina's cuties and Tiinyan's adorable Risu-chan Chiika ;___; The lighting wasn't superb so it was hard to get close-ups and I also kinda got distracted from the dolls itself and focused more on the fun chatting we had X''D Hope we can go on a picnic meet-up when the weather gets warmer, it'd be more fun to take photos outside~

This is what our table looked like after we unpacked all of our dolls! ...And other things XD


The beautiful Dollfie Dream ladies, Spica's on left and Janina's on right ♥ I've always wanted to see a DD in person and these two only made my DD fever grow XD I'm still trying to figure out if I really, really need one or could I just settle for enjoying pictures from other people, etc. >3< But boy, I do want one...

Janina brought along her Sonico nendoroid with a maid outfit!! ♥♥ I might need to add this to my Nendoroid wishlist, argh XD

This minty blue Mr. Alpaca was such a charming fellow as well~ I thought that I'd be safe from buying more Arpakasso plushies (already have two), but... Now I want more X''D I have one pink Arpakasso (with heart-shaped eyeglasses ♥) in the same size as this one, if the two met would we get a bunch of baby Alpacas?? XDD

Spica's Azone cutie and Tiinyan's Mamachapp ;3; Why must there be so many different dolls that are so damn cute... *trying hard to stick with BJDs and Azones only* XD

I didn't manage to get a properly focused photo of Tiinyan's adorable Minami-sensei, so I need to share this crappy one... Because it was so awesome being able to see this lady IRL~ ♥ It's my grail Azone at the moment ;___; There was this strange moment during the meet-up when we all were a bit farther away from the table taking photos and chatting... I happened to randomly look at this Minami-sensei and noticed that she was looking right at me!! With that hand sign I got the feeling like she was cheering me on about hunting for my own Minami-sensei ;___; (She actually might've been a true Lady Luck for me, we'll find out soon... )

Elina and Tiinyan left a bit earlier than the rest of us, we decided to go take a few quick photos in a place with a bit better lighting before leaving :)

The DD girls + Sonico ♥

And with Ceci and Miu~ My first impression on DDs was that I thought they're a lot easier to photograph than BJDs... I don't know if it's just me, but I feel like with BJDs you need to be super careful about how you pose them and were they're looking at, so that they don't end up looking weird, like Ceci did here ^^; But you could take a photo of a DD from any direction and it still looks damn cute! (Lol when I showed this photo to Sarg, she said that those cat faces on Ceci's socks look like they're looking at Spica's Yumeka's legs, thus the unnecessary edit... XDD)

And last, little Miu wanted to send greetings to all of you! ♥ 
"Hey! It was fun, please buy lots of Picconeemo friends :3 Thanks!"
...Um, okay ^^;

It was super fun, thank you all and let's meet again soon!! ♥

  1. I had a DD ages ago and I loved how well she posed--you have to be careful of the center joints but they stand and sit like rocks, and they can hold heavy things. The biggest problem is that they stain so easily-- so you always have to be careful of what they touch!
    Everyone looks so good!

    1. Yeah I handled the DD girls a bit at the meet-up and was actually surprised at how well they posed, especially the arms, I had had no idea XD We also discussed the staining issue, which worries me quite a lot... I tend to be even overly protective and worried of yellowing and breakage with BJDs, so I'm not sure if I could cope with a body that gets easily stained :/ Though at least Volks has those skin-color full body suits to prevent staining... We'll see! I'm definitely still interested in DDs *3*

    1. Glad you had fun too, it was wonderful that you joined us <3 Hahah I knew that you would like Picconeemos, you really need to get one when you can! XD Amiami doesn't seem to have the XS body in stock at the moment, but I think there are plenty on Ebay and you could also check out Mimiwoo!

  3. Those DDs are so cute! I only own one (tempted by another one ~ ) but I'm always super worried about her body or head staining =( she already got a mild stain due to her wig! xO

    1. I know right?! ♥ Oh I didn't know that you have a DD too!! OMG, and now that I went looking for some pictures from your Flickr, is this the girl you have?? Mariko is the one DD that I fell in love with and would love to own, I haven't found any other face that I'd like as much as hers ;___; I hope you'll post more pictures of your girl, I love seeing Mariko photos~~ ♥ And yeah, the staining worries me quite a lot ;__;

    1. Yaay :3 I think the same about resin BJDs with larger eyes and more anime-like features (so thankfully I'm safe from many!), but for some reason having one DD that looks weird next to my other dolls wouldn't bother me.. X'D Though I do agree about the lack of space...

      Stalker cat socks for the win XD

  5. Kiitos jälleen mukavasta miitistä! Ihanaa, että saatiin koko pöytä täyteen erilaisia nukkeja! <3
    Kyllä sinä vielä oman Minamin löydät, kun löysin minäkin Cotton Candy Miunikin. Ganbatte! ^o^
    Haha, stalkkaavat sukkahousut XD Enpä ole ennen törmännytkään moisiin :'DD

    1. Kiitos sinnekin! ♥ Oli kyllä mukavaa, kun mukava oli niin paljon erilaisia nukkeja, pääsi näkemään kaikkea uuttakin ^^

      Ja mitä Minamiin tulee, niin VOI JUKU!! Tässähän kävi nyt samat kuin tuon Candy Cotton Miun kanssa, mutta vain toisinpäin X''D

      Hahah olin noista stalkkeri-sukkiksista ihan yhyy rypyssä ja vinossa ja kaikkee, mutta näköjään niistäkin sai jotain hauskaa aikaan XD

  6. Oih todella hyviä kuvia olet saanut otettua kahvilan haasteellisesta valaistuksesta huolimatta! <3 Mahtava tuo nukkepöytä-kuva. :'D
    Ja voih minin Aobaca-alpacassokin on päässyt mukaan kuviin~ ^3^ Tämä Alpacasso koko on juuri ihana, sitä on niin kiva kiikuttaa mukana... Mutta minun on kyllä pakko saada tuollainen "alpakanpoikanen" myös. Ahh sinulla on Aobacalle sopiva tyttöalpakka?! Pitääkö tässä ruveta alpakka-kasvattajiksi että tosiaan saisi niitä... poikasia? vasoja? hehe~ x'DD

    HAHAHAHAHA totaalirepeäminen noille kissasukille! X'''DD Sarg on ihan oikeassa ne tosiaan näyttävät siltä kuin olisivat tsekkailemassa Yumekan sääriä. :'D Muutenkin hauska kuva muokkailuineen~
    Havaitsit muuten oikein, minustakin Dollfie Dreameja on helpompi kuvata kuin hartsinukkeja. O3O Varsinkin nuo isot silmät saa hyvin erottumaan kuvissa vähällä vaivalla kun joskus ainakin minulla on tekemistä että BJDiden silmät erottuisivat kuvissa yhtään ilman ylimääräistä photoshoppailua...

    JA Picco-Miulle sellaisia terveisiä että kyllä niitä Picco-kavereita varmaan tulee pian yhdelle jos toisellekin, hahaha :33 <3

    1. Tämä objektiivi mahdollistaa hyvin kyllä kuvaamisen vähän hämymmissäkin sisätiloissa, haittapuolena vaan se että tarkennus tuntuu olevan hankalaa (etenkin kun kädet aina tärisee..) ja tarkkojen kuvien saaminen on vaikeahkoa ^^; Mutta pääasia että jotain kivaa muistoa jää! Joo mulla on tosiaan Aobacan kokoa vaaleanpunainen räpsyripsi alpakka jolla on söpöt sydänsilmälasit XD Deittiseuraa-alpakoille.com...

      Ei voinut vastustaa kiusausta muokata puhekuplas noille sukille XD Huumorin kautta edes vähän pelastui kun ne on ihan rytyssä ja vinossa... Joo ja BJD:eillä tulee jotenkin helpommin sellanen derp-ilme/pose, jos ei ole kaikki juuri kohdillaan XD DD:t vaikutti siinä suhteessa paljon helpommilta ja toki noihin isompiin silmiin pääsee enemmän valoakin, että näyttävät kirkkaammille ja erottuvat paremmin :3

      Piccot viilettää täällä pitkin seiniä, kyllä ne kaverit ois niin kova juttu XD
