Success! :) this photoshoot for Taiga was done in about 10 minutes? haha!
It was grey and cloudy earlier, when I saw some light and sky I quickly dress Taiga in her clean clothes for some photos :D
On a separate day Aki got a quick shooting session too ^^
Attended a 2nd doll meet at Vandusen Garden on Sunday… I unfortunately was half dead most of the time ^^;;;;
Slave driver Taiga made me make her a Yukata the night before to attend this meet :P She was not pleased I didn’t change her clothes on Saturday before I took her out ^^;;;
Ticket sales for the Sakura Festival held at the Vandusen Garden is going to Japan relief fund~! Information here.
The weather turned out quite nice on Saturday afternoon and we decided last minute to go Sakura hunting and got bluestarbaby to come with us.
Himitsu and Hitomi on a date? lol! Himitsu and Hitomi hung out before XD
I have always admired the custom heads which is often featured in the Japanese blog: 伝達戦士コクチバンＲ (Galaxy Police) — they were what inspired me to make my own Taiga Aisaka custom Mini Dollfie dream.
I had been meaning to make a version II of Taiga’s head for a while now, and after I discovered some custom eye option, I decided not to wait any longer, heads were purchased (Thanks again Nicole!) and work was started when the weather became more suitable ^^
What??? A new slav… I mean girl?! ^^; Let’s just say it was a little unexpected…
How did that happened?! Read on to find out ^^;
Ran out of this lovely fabric when I was making this… ^^; I forget how much fabric a full length Yukata will take, and that fabric which I purchased from Japan a few years ago, I only had about half a meter ^^; Oh well we’re keeping this one lol!
A Sakura doll meet is coming up! :3 My girls have to be ready :P This Yukata is supposed to adjust to fit and is in 2 sections rather than the normal one wrap version, and it can be worn as a mini one with the M-bust girls I think… Gotta try it out later… Nyanko look so kawaii in it, have to feature her :D
Thank you Matthew of Richmond Review for making time to come by to our little doll meet last Saturday!

You probably can still get a physical copy today at the Richmond Library, if you’re curious to see it on print, bluestarbaby has already gotten her copy :D And the online version can be read here.
Revised a mini yukata from last year(?!)
This time I made the part such that it can fit M, L and Dynamite busts ^^;
Attended a doll meet in Richmond! ^o^
