Box opening: Pureneemo Calico Yuzuha

I received my Sahra's a la mode Meow × Meow a la mode Calico Yuzuha (DS Ver.) on Monday last week. She will be my last new Pureneemo for a good while beside the Wizard of Oz Himeno that I already have pre-ordered and won't be shipped before next year. To my surprise and luck, she arrived without custom fees, meaning that I could put about $70 aside to Ashanti.

On the sad note, though, her shoes were missing. I have contacted Fabric Friends & Dolls and they contacted Azone about it. They will get a pair of shoes with their next shipment and send them to me. I had actually seen a box opening video of this Yuzuha on Youtube where the shoes also were missing. She had tried it once before where it was the whole shipment of dolls that didn't have their shoes. I was a bit nervous that mine might be missing too, but since it took some extra time for my Yuzuha to ship, I assumed it was because they held them back to add the shoes. Apparently not, but at least I will get the shoes.

Her name is Asuki and it's sort of a tribute to my first BJD, Hazuki, whom I don't own anymore. Years after naming him Hazuki I learned that it actually mostly is a female name. I didn't want to name her exactly the same, so Asuki it is. She goes by the nickname Asu-nyan, inspired by the anime K-on!

Erika is covering my address. xD

After getting into Pure Neemos I started following Azone_Ringo, an Azone employee, on Twitter. I quickly learned that the different Azone models have birthdays and that people post photos with a birthday tag. I thought this was such a cute idea, so I started looking for the birthdays on the models I own. Lycee was the first of them with her birthday being today, July 20th.
 

Box opening: Pureneemo Kuroneko Lycee & Snow Princess Aika

During Lise's and my new obsession with Pure Neemos, we pre-ordered a few dolls together. Lise received them last week and shipped mine my way already the same day. ♥ I received them on Friday last week and decided to do a mini photostory/box opening-thingy. Since my last post, I have also received my Meow x Meow a la Mode Abyssinian Maya. I didn't get around to do a box opening with her though.

The photos are not the best. I suck at taking box opening photos and I also forgot to get photos of a few things, like the boxes, the booklets and the Miu outfit I bought from Lise. Ah well, lately I try to remember the saying "Finished, not perfect" and try to finish more of my projects instead of striving for perfection. I'm still not too good at it. It has taken me about a week to write the blog post. But I try!

Enough babbling! Here are the photos of my Meow x meow a la Mode Kuroneko Lycee and Otogi no Kuni Snow White Snow Princess Aika.

A box has arrived!

Box opening: The downfall of a new hobby

I know I said that I wasn't fully returning in my latest post, but I might be anyway? I won't make any promises, so let's see how things turn out.

If you read Nikki's blog you might know that both of us recently pre-ordered an Azone Pure Neemo Otogi no Kuni Wizard of Oz Himeno (such long names to write compared to BJDs). We won't get her before the start of next year, though. This is where everything started to crumble. It's been less than a month since we pre-ordered Himeno and since then I've bought four more of which I've received one... I don't know what happened. I've wanted a Pure Neemo for so long but never got around to buy one and now I've bought and pre-ordered five in less than a month. I think I caught a virus of some sort and now my wallet is crying in the corner. Does any of you by any chance know of a treatment to this virus? xD

Enough rambling. The one I bought and received is an Otogi no Kuni Benibara-san Mio. I bought her from Plasticpop in Germany and she arrived two days after being shipped. She arrived just as I was about to head out, but I managed to take some quick shots before I left. She's been sitting around me since I got her on Thursday. ♥

"Aaaaaaaaaaah!!" was the thought that went through my head as I opened the package. OwO
