baldylox Posted July 17, 2015 My local doll group didn't get to do our annual Xmas meet last year so we decided to move it to July so we could do a Christmas in July themed meet! We did a Secret Santa present swap and had some girls dress up in Xmas styled clothes too. It wasn't a big gathering this time around but I did get some decent pics to share. Here's a group photo of most of the dolls that showed up. DSC_5423 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr The always happy Puki and his buddy. DSC_5424 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr Some resin boys. DSC_5425 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr Love the braid on this 06 girl. DSC_5426 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr Two resin girls chatting away. The girl on the right is wearing a Volks bra and panty set that has a pair of googly eyes on the bra. It is sooooo funny to watch them bounce around when you move her. DSC_5427 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr Cocoa showing off her new outfit from Etsy. I love the top and those shorts! DSC_5428 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr And Latte shows off her new..... meat cleaver?? DSC_5429 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr Pino shows up with some HUGE wings! DSC_5430 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr Mei-Mei showing off her pink outfit. Another cute 01 girl.

DSC_5434 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr One of Beccas friends brought a bunch of her tiny resins.

"HUSH! She's pretty and I love her!" DSC_5438 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr Hitomi stands guard with her double barreled 12 gauge shotgun. It's actually a Marx Toy Company toy from the 50's. I got it at a flea market for 5 bucks! DSC_5439 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr A bunch of my girls all dressed as Santa! From left to right are: Mai, Ryomou, Manami, Kiyomi, Tsubaki and Mari. DSC_5440 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr For the Secret Santa swap, Rei got this awesome lab coat! It even came with a pocket calculator!

DSC_5444 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr Nastasia is none too happy about being made to wear that floofy dress. DSC_5446 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr "I like my dress!" Of course you do Pino. DSC_5447 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr My Minako and Elizabeth come to say hi to Latte. DSC_5448 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr "DAMN YOU KIDS! GET OFFA MY LAWN!!"

baldylox Posted July 18, 2015 This looks like it was a lot of fun! So many pretty dolls. Thanks! We do try and have a good time with our meets. I love themed meet ups! This one looks like it was a blast! Yep! I like themes too so I try and have them a few times a year. They usually turn out fun! Looks like a fun day! Interesting theme haha! I really like Kanu as a warm blonde, it suits her tanned skin. Thank you! I like Kanu as a blonde too, it seems to work well on her. I'm not sure if she'll stay blonde or not but we'll keep trying new things to see how they work out. Billy I gave up counting the girls I own, they keep multiplying and won't stop.

Innocentsake Posted July 18, 2015 Haha I saw these pictures up on Flickr and was wondering why your girls were dressed in Christmas gear Totally makes sense now~ Plus shouldn't it be Christmas all year long? Cocoa's new outfit is definitely cute! I would like a set for my girls as Seraphina would totally be rocking this sort of outfit hehe. Bud's new headless doll is very cute~ She would love something like that And in general it just looks like a really fun meet! Again really can't wait till I can visit & join in on one of these fun meets Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baldylox Posted July 18, 2015 Haha I saw these pictures up on Flickr and was wondering why your girls were dressed in Christmas gear Totally makes sense now~ Plus shouldn't it be Christmas all year long? Hee hee, yeah it could be confusing if you didn't know. But Xmas all year? How would I afford presents for the girls that way? Cocoa's new outfit is definitely cute! I would like a set for my girls as Seraphina would totally be rocking this sort of outfit hehe. Bud's new headless doll is very cute~ She would love something like that And in general it just looks like a really fun meet! Again really can't wait till I can visit & join in on one of these fun meets I love that outfit too but the seller was out of stock when Cocoas owner looked for me. Maybe it'll come back soon. Someone took apart this random doll for clothing and the head so when that tiny body was lying there headless, a picture of Bud being super happy with it popped into my head. The owner of it said she has like 3 or 4 more and will happily send them all to us! So Bud will have a collection of headless bodies soon.... just like a certain girl from TV and movies named Wednesday Adams.... We also can't wait for you to be able to come and visit us! Once we have a guesstimate on when you'll be here, we'll plan to have a themed meet you can attend so you'll be certain to have lots of fun! DSC_5433 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr In love with the santa outfit of the girl in the lower left~ Fluffy and sexy, lol I LOVE themed meets! Thank you very much! That girl you like is my girlfriends Yoko. She got that outfit from a good friend over in Sweden. I don't know who makes it but you're right, it's fluffy and sexy for sure! And yes, themed meets are way fun! Pino... Work them wings, girl!! Kanu.... ermagherd, dem braids!! Sumiko.... FRECKLESSES!!!!!!! Nastie... My Kiddos think you're too adorable in that!! We all LOL'd at Hitomi.. does that thing shoot caps? Rei... good haul, girl!! Mai & Mou-chan...... careful, Merri was really interested in knowing more about you two.... Wow, lots of thoughts here! Thanks for them all and to answer questions, no the gun Hitomi has does NOT fire caps but it would be awesome if it did! And Merri is more than welcome to ask anything she wants about my Ryomou and Mai. Those two are pretty much inseperable and quite the dynamic duo. Awesome theme, Billy, I think we need to work on something like this out here, too! Lord yes you do! YOU need to get to more meets period! I know your little ones would love to go and play with others their size, get on that and make them happy! Billy I gave up counting the girls I own, they keep multiplying and won't stop.

In fact I need to go and unpack my bag....Still haven't done it Yeah, we were caught up in other things instead of playing cards... maybe next time! I know YOU were having fun talking smack to the TV while you guys were watching that "Tiny House Hunters" show. I was cracking up at yall and your wisecracks about the owners and homes and what they wanted. As for unpacking your bag, you better get to it! Midori needs her new face up ASAP!!

Thank you very much! My girls usually get a bit dramatic when we have meets here. Maybe it's a cry for attention? Wow it's so great to see so many different dolls gathered together. It really shows how expressive this hobby is XD Thanks! There are lots of different dolls in my local area and I always enjoy seeing how they all differ. Even when people have the same basic dolls ( like the 01 head on a DD2 body ), it's the way the face ups are done, the wigs and eyes that are chosen and the clothing styles on the girls that make them all individuals. Same with the resin dolls, there's such a vast amount of types out there! Billy I gave up counting the girls I own, they keep multiplying and won't stop.

baldylox Posted August 9, 2015 Aww! Looks like you all had a blast! Again super glad Rei loves her Lab coat and calc! Ahh it hurts to laugh that piccu with the shot gun killed me xD Dang, I totally missed this comment before! We did indeed have lots of fun. Rei ADORES her labcoat! She's been carrying around her calculator, various vials of unknown liquids and her pistol in the pockets. And I'm glad everyone likes Hitomi and her shotgun! Looks like so much fun! I love Latte! I have a thing for tan dolls with light hair We did have lots of fun! And Latte is so much fun to be around. She's not as crazy as her sister Cocoa but she's still a little "out there". I like the tan girls with light hair too, the different colors work well together on Latte and Cocoa for sure. Billy I gave up counting the girls I own, they keep multiplying and won't stop.
