The Maid Brigade rises again! FINAL PICS ADDED

Sooooo....

 

All you old timers know all about The Maid Brigade and my obsession with maids and their uniforms. But the newer folks here may not. So to update yall, I'll give you a quick refresher.

 

Basically, back in about 2011, after I got my 2nd and 3rd DD girls, I purchased a maid set from Little Wonder and tried it on my Rei. I really liked the idea of her being a maid since she basically is the one who runs the household anyway. Here's that outfit:

She took the job very seriously and then decided to get her sisters maid uniforms as well. Once we got a few more girls in the family, things started getting out of hand. Here's the first group photo I ever did of the the then tiny Maid Brigade:

As you can see, everyone has a weapon. This is because all my maids are BATTLE MAIDS. Rei passes out weapons to the girls as she sees fit. She tries to fit the weapon to the girl but it doesn't always work out perfectly. Anyways, here's the next group photo I got:

Then a year or two later we got this:

But then things went a little slim. I kind of put the whole maid uniform purchases on hold while I went after other clothing and more girls. So things sat stagnant for a bit.

 

Then, early last year I began to want those maid uniforms again so I started purchasing more of them. I just never got around to putting any of them on anyone to take photos. So once this year rolled around and I found myself with more time on my hands, I promised to get those maid sets up and going again!

 

And the fruits of that labor have now acbleepulated into something really special..... at least to me.

 

 

So after MANY days of changing girls into their maid uniforms and hours of setup today, I have finally gotten photos of my updated Maid Brigade! There are now FIFTY members! All with their own unique maid uniforms! Sure, some may be the same style but the colors are different and I've changed up some stockings and shoes as well to give them more of a different vibe.

 

But enough talk, let's take a look at them all!

 

 

Presenting The Maid Brigade in all it's glory! They are now 50 members strong!

That's is a pic from straight on. It seems you can't see half the girls this way.....

Nope, still can't see them all......I know! Let's do a more angled view!

That's better! You can see them a little more now. But not really. Time for some closer in shots!

And of course Manami.... the one who keeps Rei on her toes and the cookie bin empty.

And finally, I took a short video of all the girls so you can see them a little better.

Just click on the photo below to see the video!

I also took a literal TON of individual photos of all the girls once I started putting them back up so I will be updating here with those over the next week. Hopefully everyone enjoys these photos and comes back to see the new ones! Thank you for looking!

Wow! I admire your dedication and patience it must have taken to set up 50 girls together like that (let alone dress them all). So many lovely maids to look at I look forward to seeing their individual shoots. I remember what was by comparison tiny maid brigade, Rei has really been hard at work recruiting sense then

Awesome group. You've got to have the cleanest, most protected house on the block.

 

The maid outfit is a requirement for all my girls. Guess this gives me a good time to dig through all my outfits to see who I've gotten maid outfits for, and to dress them up for a group shot as well. I just don't have a weaponized maid brigade.

That's a lot of Maids Maid service fit for a king! If this was a maid cafe I would surely come everyday!

The video "flyover" was truly amazing!

When I do large group shots like that I end up doing "dominoes" multiple times. How 'bout you?

Most impressive.

This is awesome! And Cirno looks adorable in that

Do you have a particular favourite dress? I like how many different styles there are.

Holy moly... 50 gorgeous ladies?! Your girls could start a cleaning agency and start buying their own maid outfits

This is amazing!! ♥

 

And also very inspiring! It makes me want to do a group photo as well! (Though I don't think I have any maid outfits...that may have to change. Hmm..)

Thank you! Rei has definitely been very busy! As for time involved, I was dressing 4 to 5 girls a night, every night, for what felt like weeks. Actual time to set up the table with all 50 of them was around 4 hours total. That includes getting out the lighting, making the table bigger and clearing space on the sides.

Thanks! Protected? YES. Clean? HAH! If even a tenth of the girls cleaned up after themselves then I'd have it a lot easier. I'm glad your girls are required to have maid uniforms! You TOTALLY need to do a group photo of them in maid uniforms! It's okay if they aren't weaponized, they can repel intruders with pure cuteness overload!

 

That's a lot of Maids Maid service fit for a king! If this was a maid cafe I would surely come everyday!

 

Ha ha! If it was a maid café, all the girls would eat everything before customers arrived!

Thank you sir! I thought it would be fun and an easier way to see more of the girls and their outfits. And yes, I had the DD Domino Effect twice. Once when setting up and once when taking them down. The first time, about 8 girls fell over. The second time it was closer to 10. It sucked but it wasn't a huge issue overall.

 

Most impressive.

 

Thank you!

Thanks a lot! Cirno does look pretty good doesn't she? Let's see, as far as faves go, I'd have to say that my top 3 would be Ryomou's default set, the custom S&K Cool Cats set Rei wears and the kimono styled Volks ones that Chitose and Miyuki are wearing. I try to give each girl their own special set so that they all stand out in their own way. But it's HARD to keep finding different ones now that I have so many.....

 

Holy moly... 50 gorgeous ladies?! Your girls could start a cleaning agency and start buying their own maid outfits

 

Yup! 50 so far! I just need 14 more so that all my girls have one! As for cleaning, they're pretty slack at that so anyone who hired them wouldn't get a clean house..... only their kitchen cabinets and pantry would be cleaned out..... of all the snacks and cookies. LOL

 

This is amazing!! ♥

 

And also very inspiring! It makes me want to do a group photo as well! (Though I don't think I have any maid outfits...that may have to change. Hmm..)

 

Thanks so much! You definitely should do a group photo! And yes, maid uniforms are needed!

Wow. Just wow. That is a seriously impressive maid brigade

Such cuties !! They all look great in their uniforms- but now I have to ask. Does the maid brigade help around the house, or just stir up more trouble?? You know how vinyl girls can be, so I was curious

I didn't realize how many of your girls I have painted until you pointed it out xD such cuties♡♡♡

Thank you! *Some* of the girls help with chores around the house but not all of them. I'd say out of the 50 with maid uniforms, maybe 6 or 7 of them do regular cleanup. The others either let their sisters do it or let me do it. Thankfully, they're a pretty clean bunch and don't make messes often..... except Manami. THAT girl can really be a little pig when she wants to be.

You really don't remember half the girls you paint for me do you? Well, you'll see how many more I have once all the maid pics are up!

So when does Sesshomaru get his maid dress?

So when does Sesshomaru get his maid dress?

Have you noticed that Volks has been listing DDS boy compatibility on presumably any outfit that fits? For example, the Swallowtail maid outfit: https://www.volks.co.jp/page_ex.jsp?CONTROLID=SC0040&BUSINESSID=InitDisp&jancd=4518992413419&version=en

 

I don't think I've noticed this for the regular DD male body (i.e. Kirito) though, only the DDS.

There's always one troublemaker! Though, it’s good that the 6 or 7 help a bit- otherwise they’d be the “cosplay brigade”- not that anyone would mind. They’re still the cutest group I’ve seen yet!

Adorable mini maidos!

HA! Everyone keeps asking that but seriously.... would YOU dare ask him to dress up in something like that? I'm not taking the chance.

Yep! Manami is the best at being bad. Thank you very much for the compliments!

 

Adorable mini maidos!

 

Thanks so much! I really enjoy the little ones too, they can be so cute!

And now for the rest of the MDD sized girls!

 

Here we have my first MDD girl Kino. She is an 01 head on an MDD3 body with the S-bust. Her uniform is from an unknown maker.

Next we have Noumi Kudo! She's got her default face up, eyes and wig but is on an Obitsu 40cm body with the S-bust. Her outfit is also from an unknown maker.

Minako is next up. She's my second MDD girl but has changed a lot over the years. She is Manami's baby sister and started out on an MDD body but then moved to an Obitsu 40cm and now she's on a VMF/AP 50cm body. I have no idea what size or type bust she uses but it's not too big. She is an 01 head and uses custom eyes. Her outfit is from Kon Doll.

Here's Kasumi. She is an all Obitsu girl.... I don't know what head she is ( it may be the Hime head? ) but she's on an Obitsu 45cm body with the L-bust. Her outfit is an Azone set my friend Salica sent me for my B-day one year.

Louise here is a real troublemaker. Her headdress piece kept falling off and she wouldn't let me put it back on her for the pics. Louise has her default face up and eyes but not her wig or body. She is using an Obitsu 45cm body with an M-bust. Her uniform is from Alice's Collections.

Now we have Umi. She is a Volks prepainted 01 head that you could only get thru buying a Volks News magazine and sending in the special flyer. She keeps her default face up and uses Volks eyes and a wig. She's on an Obitsu 45cm body as well. Her outfit is from Alice's Collections too.

Last but certainly not least is my little angry girl Bud She's Sprout's little sister. She is a WS 01 modded head done by Eblktty. She's on an MDD3 SWS body because they don't make a newer WS body in her size. But it works out. Her outfit is from an unknown maker.

She likes her new plushie Bone-kun. Rei used to own it but gave it to Bud since she expressed interest in it.

My next post will start out with the bigger girls! Stay tuned!

I think Minako is my favorite of your mini girls. I love her green eyes, and the little specks of light on her cheeks.

So when does Sesshomaru get his maid dress?

 

HA! Everyone keeps asking that but seriously.... would YOU dare ask him to dress up in something like that? I'm not taking the chance.

 

 

Billy

 

. . .fine.

 

A butler suit then.

Ha ha, going for the loopholes huh? I dunno, I might be able to get him to wear casual styled human clothes one of these days but he's staying as is for now.
