So it's been almost a year since I made a journal entry... therefore I figured it was time for an update

Minamicon 18
So a quick review of the long since over Minamicon 18!  Friday & Sunday and I cosplayed as Zoro (me) and Sanji (her) from One Piece Unlimited Cruise.  It was a last minute rush and we both were up finishing them off Thursday evening haha!  But we're good at being in character as these guys so we spent most of the time arguing   on Sunday joined us as Koby and we ended up with a fairly large One Piece group for photos!  Saturday was 's birthday so we cosplayed Shizuo and Izaya from Durarara!! and had an interesting strip poker photo shoot!

Dolls~!
So things have changed a fair bit on the doll front!  My Iplehouse Tatiana has gone!  I traded her for a Dollndoll Loren because I've decided that MSDs are just too small for me!  And the new girl is lovely!  She's definitely taking the persona of my character Astrid!  I finished Yuya by changing his face up!  I'm very happy with how my little rich boy turned out!  I also used my birthday money to purchase a Doll Family H-Line Qing Lu from Alice's Collections. He arrived so fast, I hadn't ordered any of his bits because I thought I'd have at least another 30 days before he arrived!!!  He was dispatched on a Friday from Hong Kong and arrived on the Monday!!  He's my lovely, arrogant sadist, Sherriff!  I'll be uploading some pictures of him soon!
And, um I sort of maybe did something VERY random!  I've bought myself a Volks Cecile, first edition from 2002.  But he's a secret... I figure my family won't understand him yet haha!  But yay my first Volks boy   So he should be arriving next week sometime *fingers crossed* XD

And that's about it news wise~!  Random journal is random!!
