baldylox Posted May 10, 2012 Today is the one year anniversary of when my Dollfie Dream Unicorn showed up unexpectedly at my door. Please see this post on FFM to understand what exactly happened: http://www.figure.fm/post/en/27171/A+surprise+to+end+all+surprises.html Needless to say, after such an awesome shock to the system, I made sure I did everything I could to make Ryomou feel at home here. Below is a sequence of photos that detail some of her major milestones with me and her new family. Before she even got to my place, Mitsuki had her girl Sakurako do a thorough checkcup on her to make sure she was doing well. Ryomou2 by balldylox, on Flickr Thankfully, Sakurako gave Ryomou a clean bill of health and she was sent to my house. Here are a few pics from Ryomou's first post, her introductory story. This is Rei introducing Mou-chan to the rest of the girls: DSC09336 by balldylox, on Flickr Of course, we all know that Manami loves cosplaying as Ryomou so when they met for the first time, Manami thought I had installed a giant mirror in the hallway. DSC09359 by balldylox, on Flickr After Manami realized we had the REAL Ryomou here, she got upset and thought I was replacing her. Ryomou managed to calm her down tho and they have since become good friends. DSC09375 by balldylox, on Flickr Ryomou loves flowers so when she saw some outside the window, she asked to go and check them out. Of course I had to oblige her. DSC09825 by balldylox, on Flickr Ryomou goes with me to a doll meet in Charlotte, NC. There, she meets lots of new friends, and here she is with a resin girl who is VERY interested in Mou-chan's.... chest. DSC_1997 by balldylox, on Flickr Getting hats from Waynio. DSC_2263 by balldylox, on Flickr Here we are at Animazement in Raleigh, NC. I was so hoping to find someone cosplaying as Ryomou here and I actually did! Ed spotted her and I rushed down to meet her. I was totally fangirling the entire time! I could barely speak to the cosplayer but my Mou-chan wasn't sure why someone she didn't know would be dressed as her. DSC09673 by balldylox, on Flickr Later on during the convention, we found this awesome light wall outside. We posed the girls with it and got some neat pics. This one was one of my faves: DSC09790 by balldylox, on Flickr Here is where I entered the experimental stage with Ryomou. While I LOVE her default look, I feared her wig staining her bigtime. So I found a really cool Leeke World wig that looked good on her and it also had a ponytail. I'm a sucker for ponytails... Anyways, I was also trying out different eyes on her because I found out that she did NOT come with her default eye. So I tried a few different looks with ones I had here. This one had her looking VERY aggressive and stern. DSC_2367 by balldylox, on Flickr Then I found Ersa Flora and saw that they did custom eyes! So I got together a few designs with Mitsuki's help and found this wonderful setup for her: DSC_2748 by balldylox, on Flickr This eye is actually made from a photo of Ryomou's eye from the anime! I found a good pic of it on the DVD, froze it and then took a large photo on my DSLR and sent it to Ersa Flora. They then made me this eye in metallic. The shine from this eye is amazing and I now have my own, custom, anime exact and very perfect Mou-chan. DSC_2747 by balldylox, on Flickr This was the first time Ryomou had worn her school uniform for me. I was all sorts of giddy seeing her in this! DSC_1660 by balldylox, on Flickr Mou-chan's first Christmas with me! She made me a nice origami crane. She also dressed back up in her school uniform and added her default wig. She's so cute! DSC_3613 by balldylox, on Flickr Since Ryomou is a DDdy girl, she has the need to show off from time to time. And since I got some nice lingerie from Dollzone, she had me take some pics of her in her new outfit. I have to say she is AMAZING in it. DSC_1061 by balldylox, on Flickr Ryomou finally gets her own kimono! I found this fabric in Walmart of all places and since it had a dragon on it, I knew it was meant for her! DSC00062 by balldylox, on Flickr Mou-chan playing fashion idol in Alna's outfit. DSC_2770 by balldylox, on Flickr Ryomou is a fighter by tarde and even tho she's a tough girl, she really likes dressing up as girly as possible sometimes. So here she is in a new Volks set, strutting her stuff and looking ever so lovely. DSC_4983 by balldylox, on Flickr DSC_4966 by balldylox, on Flickr And finally, Ryomou trying out another Leeke World wig that Mitsuki sent us. She was wanting me to pick her up and snuggle a bit here. Even tho she's a fighter, she really enjoys being girly when she can. DSC_5364 by balldylox, on Flickr So there's a quick roundup of my DD Unicorn. I love her to bits and I am still so happy I could finally add her to my family. Thank you again Mitsuki for your help in aiding my adoption of her. Billy I gave up counting the girls I own, they keep multiplying and won't stop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baldylox Posted May 10, 2012 Happy anniversary! Gotta admit, I LOVE the "Surprise to End All Surprises" post, it's just too unbelievably awesome. Thanks! And oddly enuff, whenever I read that post, I still get all giddy and my stomach hurts a bit with butterflies. I'd never expected it and nothing to date holds a candle to what I felt when I opened that box. I swear, if there had been a camera on to take film of me wandering around the kitchen and having to sit down before I passed out, yall would DIE laughing from it.

baldylox Posted May 10, 2012 Thanks everyone for the kind comments! Ryomou is pretty special to me and I do need to have her in more photo shoots. Maybe I can remedy that soon. And yes, I don't have her default wig on as much as I should either. Maybe I'll ask her to wear it for me for a bit and see what she says.
