I took photos of Sayuri (Swan Lake Raili) last week when I briefly visited my parents. According to Azone, Raili is an exchange student from Finland, so I thought it was necessary for me to take some winter photos of her~ ♥ Also, recently Azone_Ringo (an Azone staff member) tweeted in Japanese, wondering if the amount of Finnish people who own Azone dolls has increased lately and if it's because of Raili ;3; I thought this was so cute that it inspired me even more and I wanted to send her greetings from Finland~ ♥ This version of Raili is definitely one of my all the time favorites from Azone and I love her very much!
Another girl that got outside was Totori (Squirrel Chiika) :) She's wearing her new outfit that she just got from the Little Match Girl Chiika release. Elina wanted to get the nude doll and I wanted the outfit, so we were able to do a nice split~ I hope we'll be seeing the bob-haired cutie on Elina's blog later ;3
I really like this outfit, especially the hoodie with fluffy pompoms ;3; (I have a weakness for soft, fluffy things...) And I don't have so many outdoor clothes for my Neemos yet, so this little coat was a nice addition. The girls will probably be fighting over it until I get more warm coats for them XD
Totori is definitely not a girl selling matches outside and dying to the coldness because no one wants to adopt her (like in the story of The Little Match Girl ;___;), she's just on an outdoor adventure ^^
Voi miten ihanalta Totori näyttää uudessa asussaan! Ja voi miten itkenkään verta kun omalla tulitikkutytölläni on mennyt jo 13 päivää saapua, koskaan ennen ei EMS ole ollut näin hidas. Pahuksen juhlapyhät.
ReplyDeleteRaili on kuin luotu Suomen talvimaisemiin! Minäkin haluaisin Bambin lisäksi toisen Railin, joka voisi tuoda vähän suomalaisuutta mun nukkeporukkaan. :D
Kiitos kovasti :3 Voi harmi että sinun paketti on jäänyt jonnekin jumittamaan... Viime vuonna oli itsellä sama juttu, mutta nyt tänä vuonna paketit on tulleet ihan normaalisti perille juhlapyhistä huolimatta D:
DeleteToivottavasti saat vielä toisen Railin bambille kaveriksi! Meiltäkin löytyy myös tuo Bambi-versio, nämä kaksi näyttävät kovin somilta yhdessä~
Ihanasti loistaa tuo Sayurin silmien sinisyys lumisessa maisemassa! ♥
ReplyDeleteJa Totori on niin suloinen tuossa asusetissä! Myös miun tulitikkutyttö seikkailee vielä jossain teillä tietämättömillä...
Jee, kiva kun Azone Ringo mainitsi suomalaiset! :D
Kiitoksia~ Toivottavasti tikku-Chiika saapuisi pian sinnekin :3
DeleteJoo toi oli tosi söpöä Azone_Ringolta :D
Such amazing photos! I totally get why you love your Azone girls so much XD
ReplyDeleteI love both girls, their styling is perfect and the scenery is awesome! Yay for snow! :D
Thank you very much ^^ I do enjoy these dolls a lot, they're nicely different from BJDs~
DeleteUpeita talvikuvia! Olet kyllä melkoinen sissi, kun olet tuossa kelissä ryöminyt nukkekuvailemassa :D Mutta kyllä kaiken jäätymisen arvoista ^_^ <3
ReplyDeleteKiitos :D Ei kyllä kauaa tehnyt mieli ryömiä tuolla ulkona, naama alkoi nopeasti paleltua... Oon niin lämmön ystävä, ettei nää pakkasilmat oo ihan mua varten ^^;
DeleteNiin kauniita kuvia! *w* Tulee ihan Azone kuume, onkohan juuri se levinnyt suomalaisten keskuudessa ja saanut porukan kiinnostumaan azone nukkejen tilailusta. :''>
ReplyDeleteSayurin asu on ihana kaikkine röyhelöineen ja pörröineen~
Totorin kuvat on niin tunnelmallisia, on kyllä ollut kaunis seikkailu talven ihmemaahan.
Kiitos kovasti kehuista <3 Kyllä tuo Azone-kuume vaikuttaa tehokkaasti levinneen suomalaisten keskuudessa, omassa kaveripiirissäkin yhä useammalla on näitä ja vähän väliä joku uusikin innostuu. Azonen nuket on kyllä kovin söpöjä, joten ei kai tuo ole ihmekään ;3
DeleteBeautiful snow pics~! I'll wait for the temperature to rise a little and then go take some wintery photos! Right now it's too cold to do anything but try and keep warm even inside the house! XD
ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea to send greetings to Azone_Ringo! :)
Thank you :3 Yeah it'd definitely be much easier to take snowy photos once it's not so cold!
DeleteShe did like the photos I posted on Twitter, hopefully the written message wasn't awfully wrong ^^;;
I love the way those red tights pop against the white snow backgrounds (and then on the flip side, also the delicate edges of the white-on-white in those first photos).
ReplyDeleteThank you ^^ I like the color contrasts too, and I think it's funny how the red berries match the color of Toto's tights!
Delete-20 celsius?? Oh my GODDDDD I would die XD I feel like crying when we get to -1 XD seriously ;_; .....
ReplyDeleteLove the photos, I love dolls in the snow so much, maybe because it's something I can't take since there's no snow here (and really, it can't snow on -1 C XD).
Hahah XD Well I do often feel like crying too, but I guess we've somewhat gotten used to the cold temperatures here. Some people still seem to think that we have polar bears and penguins on the streets XDD
DeleteThank you! I really wish that someday you would get the chance of taking snowy photos too :)
En voi käsittää miten oot pystyny kuvaamaan mitään tuolla ulkona! XD Mä jäädyn puolkuoliaaks jo koiraa ulkoiluttaessa! Mutta tosi nättejä kuvia jälleen kerran! Heti kun vähänkin ilmat lämpee niin haluan itekin käydä kuvaamassa paria figuuria tuolla lumessa! (>w<)
ReplyDeleteTosiaan ehittiin just ennen noita kovimpia pakkasia käydä ulkona kuvaamassa, oisko ollut jotain -10 tms. XD Tonne 20-30 asteen pakkaseen ei hullukaan mene jos ei oo pakko... Mut kiitos, kiva kun tykkäsit! Jään innolla oottelemaan siun figukuvia >3< Pitäisi itekin kunnostautua figujen kuvailussa, tammikuulta pitäis ainakin se yks figukuva saada otettua jotta pysyy vuoden tavoite...
DeleteSo many lovely photos! I love seeing dolls in snow, makes me wish for snow even more but at least I can imagine it through your photos.
ReplyDeleteI never knew that backstory about Raili so thank you for sharing that.
The Little Match Girl outfit is gorgeous isn't it? I think it's one of the best outfits Azone have come out with for their Ex-Cute line personally, at least from the ones I have.
Thank you ^^ Even though I don't like the coldness that much, I do feel proud of the beautiful snowy sceneries that we get here during winter~
DeleteIt's quite a funny detail that they imagined Raili as a Finnish girl x3
I absolutely agree, this outfit is so pretty! ♥ Overall I'm really happy with all the outfits from the fairy tale themed dolls that we have (Lien, Raili, Chisa, Koron) and can't wait to see what kind of outfits they'll come up with next!
Such perfect snowy photos of your girls! I especially love Raili~ I hope you can do a shout-out to the Azone staff ~ let them know they've got fans all over the world~ haha!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much <3
DeleteYes I posted the photos on Twitter with some greetings from Finland and Azone_Ringo favorited/liked the photo, so she seems to have noticed~
Love snow photos, and especially the first lot, Sayuri looks so angelic.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
X
Thank you so much ^^
DeleteLove these photos!!! Both of your girls are lovely, but I loved Sayuri's outfit, and her last photo!
ReplyDeleteThank you Musume~ ♥ I like Sayuri's outfit a lot too, it's a combination of two Azone default outfits :)
DeleteWow kudos to you for venturing outside even in this dreadfully cold weather! i have ran inside at the nearest opportunity and going out for photos has been out of the question for me :D
ReplyDeleteBut it paid off for you, the photos are marvellous (as always)!
Hahah yeah those -20 to -30 temperatures are a no go for me, I think it was around -10 when we took the photos :D The thought of going out in colder than that would never even cross my mind...
DeleteThank you, great to hear that! ♥
Sayuri is so adorable and how wonderful story about Raili's origins. ^-^ Beautiful photos of Saiyuri and huge braveness from you. xD It's been so cold lately I haven't thought of photographing anywhere but our balcony.
ReplyDeleteI find them photos from Totori so cute, the berries look like big apples. Lovely snowy adventure with both girls.
BTW, kiitos ihanista kuvista sinulle (ja parille muulle), eilen tilasin ensimmäs... siis tilasin Alisa mallisen pienen nuken jota odotan pääseväni pian maksamaan. xD Sillä tulee mukana söpöt vaatteetkin ja odotan innolla että pääsen ompelemaan siinäkin koossa. :)
Thank you :) Azone has written about Raili on their website, but it's all in Japanese so I guess that many people don't know about the character backgrounds. I hope it wouldn't be so cold for much longer, I want to take more photos already!
DeleteThose berries were so fun-looking that I had to put Totori next to them XD They match her stockings quite nicely too, don't they?
Oihh aivan mahtavaa! ♥ Paljon onnea Alisan tilaamisesta :) Taidan peräti tietää mistä Alisa-versiosta puhut, jos se on tuo ruskeahiuksinen ja vaaleanpuna-asuinen niin olen saman tytyn yltiösöpöä asusettia kuolaillut, harmi kun sitä ei saa erikseen! Innolla odotan jo, että saat tytön kotiin ja pääset kuvaamaan sekä ompelemaan~ Ehkä saadaan sut vielä mukaan johonkin miittiinkin ;3
Beautiful photos! They really capture winter for me, since I don't have snow near me! ;_;
ReplyDeleteThanks! Oh it's a shame that you don't have any snow around there :/
DeleteAw, I love snow photos! Danish winter sucks and so far we've only had pretty snow for a few days before it turned to ugly slush. :<
ReplyDeleteBoth of your girls are so adorable! I love how Totori's stockings match the berries in the second last photo. :D So cute!!
Thank you :) Our winter was pretty much like that before we finally got some snow a few weeks ago... And once the snow starts melting in a few months it'll be like that again ^^;
DeleteLove to hear you like my girls~ It was fun to find berries that match her stockings XD
