vanellablanche Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) I guess I'll be plopping photos here, or at least the ones that don't really merit a thread of their own. I'll start off with crew photos, of course! These are my girls' first photos together ever since they welcomed their Mama-san home! Left to right: Kiera (DDS M.O.M.O.), Gaea / Mama-san (DDDy Miko), Leela (DD Saber Alter V2) These girls aren't actual sisters, but there's something of a sisterhood-slash-family thing going on. Kiera is the "older sister" in the crew, the shoulder to cry on, but she does have her weak moments. Leela is the youngest, and most attached to Gaea, since she lost her mom when she was very young. I suppose I'll be revealing more about their individual backstories sometime, perhaps in separate posts?

SylvanJade Posted August 1, 2016 Wow, how so very beautiful! I have to say - I love Mama-san's hair! I don't recollect seeing any photos of braided hair like that. Did you braid it yourself or did come that way? (I LOVE the purple) Are there other pics of her I could see? What beautiful girls! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vanellablanche Posted August 8, 2016 I really like their posing, and Leela's face-up is beautiful! Thank you very much! Are there other pics of her I could see? Mama-san thanks you for the compliments! I've just posted more pictures of her, here's the photostory. I braided the twintails myself, they're just regular Hatsune Miku-style clip-ons. The color was a limited run in Leekeworld, though.

vanellablanche Posted August 23, 2016 New faceup for Kiera! I'll be blogging about this once I've gotten her head back and taken more photos. This is Raentheria's work once again, she also did Leela's faceup.

vanellablanche Posted October 9, 2016 Another photo of Kiera with her new faceup! It took me a while to figure out exactly how I want her to look, but I think I'm happy with her like this. There's a story behind the eyes as well, but that story's for another day!

SylvanJade Posted October 9, 2016 What a lovely new faceup for Kiera. I've always thought those half-smiles were so cute! So, is she pretty much finished? Any new plans for her? And please do update with a story on the eyes - you've got me curious now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And please do update with a story on the eyes - you've got me curious now! I feel like Kiera's appearance is more or less finalized, with this latest makeover. Now to settle on her personal style so I can get her more clothes! I'll try to write down her story on my next day off! ----- For now, another quick photostory (that's been sitting around in my hard drive for 3 weeks now, oops) "How could you forget?" #WSproblems HOME: Kiera (MOMO) | Leela (AlterV2) | Gaea (Miko) | Ellie (Rise) | Genie (Alna) | Sab (Sheryl) | Amelie (mod07) | Andy (mod10) | Layla (Miku) | Leia (Alisa) WAITING: ???

Ie-Aster Posted October 24, 2016 Awwh, poor thing x__x WS girls do have a hard time of it nowadays. I think blushing to match semi white is a good option if you want to do that--I blushed my WS Lucy, Mei, to Obitsu White after I realized DDP would never be made in WS, and it was pretty easy and looks really nice/not obviously like an attempt to recolor the vinyl. I'm looking forward to the story of Kiera's eyes, she looks very mysterious even while her smile seems happy and youthful. At home: Mei (DDP Lucy custom), Aku (DDB Takane custom) En route: L.

vanellablanche Posted December 30, 2016 From earlier this week, when I managed to make time for a quick meetup with a friend! Kiera often tells me they don't get out of the house very often, so of course she'd initiate some troublemaking exploration in the mall. Shio (left) and Blanche (right) belong to my friend Raentheria, and they were just going along with whatever Kiera said.

vanellablanche Posted March 13, 2017 Translated from Filipino, "pasalubong" means "souvenir." The usual souvenirs that Filipinos bring home from Japan are key chains, t-shirts, fancy flavored Kit-Kat, or makeup. Then there's my awesome cousin who got me a new blank head from Doll Point on his recent trip! This girl is an unexpected new addition to my crew, but she's most definitely welcome! Her birthday will be the day she gets her own body, which I'm hoping will happen during my next Japan trip.

vanellablanche Posted April 24, 2017 Somebody got new hands! Some of you might have already seen what happened a few months ago... so I had to make up for it. I managed to order a pair of WS hands for Leela! Now I'm torn between getting her a DD3 WS body piece by piece or still get that SWS body and blush her head to match. That'll happen sometime in the future. For now, looks like Leela's enjoying her new hands.

vanellablanche Posted August 15, 2017 The annual ManikaManila Tiangge (tiangge=bazaar) took place over the weekend, and the Dollfinas sub-community did a fairytale-inspired display! We won 2nd place.

vanellablanche Posted August 18, 2017 Never knew they actually held meet-ups in Manila, Where in Manila if you don't mind me asking? I might swing by next time I visit Philippines LOL. Congrats on winning 2nd place btw Hello! We do have a number of big meet-ups for the main BJD-centric community, ManikaManila. Dollfinas is the Dollfie Dream sub-community, and we have meets at random times! Usually the ManikaManila and Dollfinas meets are in Ortigas Center or Makati. Sometimes we meet in the North EDSA area too.
