ManikaManila Tiangge 2012

Hello dear readers! It's been a crazy week. I'm sorry I've neglected my regular blog posting! I usually spend my free time queuing blog posts, but last week I've been busy preparing for ManikaManila's Tiangge. The event was held last Saturday, October 20, at Greenbelt Parkplace in Legazpi Village, Makati City.

My booth named Chocochipmunk. I still have leftovers, which I'll be selling online soon! :D

Tiangge is Filipino for "bazaar", which was exactly what the event was all about. Some of our members (including me!) put up booths and sold both handmade and pre-loved items. There were items that were raffled as well! It was one of the most successful events held by ManikaManila so far. Over a hundred people attended! It was like a mini Dollism! How awesome is that?

Violet, Miette and Blair - my pretty models

This was my first time being an entrepreneur. It was scary but exciting at the same time. I'm just glad my booth was quite a success. Yay money, LOL! I'll probably use the money I earned to open a dolly bank account. *u*

Anyway, click on Continue Reading for the rest of my report!

Dolly Diptych Week 23: Kyeopta Gangnam Style!

A few weeks ago, by some strange miracle, Ryan was able to make Miette dance PSY's viral song Gangnam Style. I really don't know how he does it so easily, and with the Lati V1 body to boot! So, being the competitive person I am, I decided to try and make my little girl dance again for DDW.

HEEEEYYYY CUTESY BABY! KYEOP-KYEOP-KYEOP-KYEOP KYEOPTA GANGNAM STYLE!
(Kyeopta = Korean for "cute" ^u^)

LO AND BEHOLD, I did it! It took me several minutes to get her to pose like that. Who knew posing tiny dolls could be so tiring? XD

In case you were curious about what Miette is wearing:

Usamimi: handmade by me
Wig: Crobidoll
Dress: gifted by devolvedarling/Kyra
Shoes: iDollZoo

Cosplay Mania 2012

I, Ryan, my sister, and Nix went to Cosplay Mania 2012 last Sunday, September 30, at the SMX Convention Center. This was the biggest cosplay event I've ever been to. It was crazy! Lots of people went to portray their favorite characters, take photos (like me!), and see cosplay royalty Reika and Kaname. There were fewer merchant booths than I expected, but that was okay because if there were more booths, the place would have been packed.

Blair and Alisa Bosconovitch from Tekken! :D

There were lots of things going on during the convention; simultaneous events happened in three huge function rooms! I didn't really bother with most of it though. I just wanted to take photos. XD

Speaking of photos, there's a lot more of those under the cut! Do check them out. :)
(Some photos were taken by Ryan!^^)

Super sexy Bayonetta

Meme: First vs Newest Doll Photo

Got tagged on Flickr. :D

So... it's been a year since I've taken up dolly photography. I think I've improved a bit, but it's nothing substantial. I still have a lot to learn! :'D
