First, lets sit down

[Kirie]

So two years and never posted any pics. Hesitates too much I guess.

On the introduction, this is my girl, Yuuka (with quite a chuunibyou kanji that she prefers writing it in katakana). She's the one who usually went out with me when doing the usual urban travelling.

Shirt: Azone boyish punk; Skirt: Azone a witch's elegant day; Jacket: Azone girl's holiday; Knit cap: Uzura Koya; Socks: Uzura Koya; Shoes: Azone Assault Lily; Belt accessories: salvaged from cellphone accessories

And my second girl, Kei, from first letter of Keima, the knight in Shogi chess. She had a problem of having Dullahan factor (a.k.a the head falls off easily) so she rarely got out. And yes, she realized that she did have far less photo and screen time. Ponytail is from Dengeki Eukrante's extra hair part. The tone is different but usually not so obvious in photo.

Turtleneck shirt & Skirt: Uzura Koya

Really wanting the clothes from Tatsumi Pocket.

Oh, and the obligatory happy new year

[Lock Cade]

Your Shinki look lovely in their clothes.

[Klinkin]

Are those physical glasses, or edited on? I've tried to give my 'Rythæ glasses, and her hair keeps getting in the way.

[Kirie]

They're physical. Made of etched stainless steel IINM
Produced by Itsubishi

[Zenislez]

Nice. How much the price when you bought it Kirie?

[Tsumanne]

Really like Yuuka's outfit. It's looks great against the wood/natural settings in the picture!

I'm new to clothes for my Shinki. Glad to see more Azone stuff fits them (just kind of guessed when I picked up a 1/12 miko outfit from Azone and crossed my fingers).

I haven't heard of Uzura Koya, I will have to look in to them. The knit cap fits Yuuka really well and I really like Kei's turtleneck. Her ponytail was a good idea too

Mikuo > Thanks

Zeni > IIRC, 900 Yen for a stainless steel sheet with 12 glasses (plus around 6-8 clip-on glasses). Quite a deal, but they ran out of the other types already.

Tsumanne > That one is in Onomichi in Hiroshima (the city used as Kamichu's setting).
Also got this Japanese clothes from the dealer Gaara (forgot the kanji writing).



As for the clothes, the dealers usually shows up in doll related show. The next one I know of is on March 22 in Niigata, then sometime around Golden Week. This one is sponsored by Azone. There's also Wonder Festival (next month, likely too crowded), Treasure Festa, Doll Show, and the event sponsored by Volks (obviously geared more to the 1/3 scale dolls).
I've only went to the event once, but here's other dealers' website. You can see their design collection there.
- Pocket Rocket. Quick seller. I like their boyish collection, but it's sold out.
- Afetto Amoroso. Ignore the Levis ^^;
- Soratobiei
- AG Moon. Mostly specialized in making shoes, which is quick to sold out (Azone's leather shoes, waiting for restock)
And Uzura Goya.

Seriously... have to save up money to go there again this year.


Weekend photo. This is from going to an old bank turned museum. Didn't get much nice shots and ran out of battery for the flash. Maybe better idea next time.

[Tsumanne]

Ooo, lots of new resources. Thank you much. Will have to check them out.

Oh, love the kimono with hanten for cold weather! And is that a bottle on nihonshuu I see? Perfect combination! lol

The low light shots came out really good too. My phone's camera doesn't do well in low light...

I think you're right. Events seem a good place for finding things, just they sell out quick. Someone at Comiket had made some really nice shinki winter kimono, but they were all sold out before I got there.

[oOnyaOo]

Ahhh! The museum photos are beautiful! The atmosphere's so dreamy.
