I joined the annual @doll-granado photo contest with my finally-finished-his-tattoos dude, Ruy.

These were the ones I actually submitted. The whole photoshoot is on my facebook and has like... triple the pics.

We had a Valentines meet at Leonie’s house and the dolls went on, like, little blind dates. T’was cute as.

Shooting Noboru in items that don't belong to him, but he rocks them anyway. :3c

[alekidoll]

Christmas eve and Noboru is plagued by a dangerous dream. An infuriating one at that, that leaves him upset and dismayed as soon as he wakes.

But if anything, most upset at how his feelings were quote the opposite the fleeting moments before logic prevailed.

One of the many Pancake Parlour Meets here. It’s a nice place. Pretty spacious too. xD

One of my favourite things is actually making displays that people can hopefully also do photoshoots for their own dolls in. So when the organizers of Animaga were looking for someone to help set up the BJD booth, how could I say no? :)) It was just a simple maid cafe, but I was quite proud of the simple set I made. :3

When Ruy’s stuff finally arrived but I couldn’t really decide which wig suited him.

My concept based on the folktale The King o' the Cats for the DoA couture contest this year.

The story is about, a man who witnesses a cat funeral procession and is cryptically told by one of the cats marching "Tom Toidrum is dead." The man recounts the strange take to his wife and housecat when his otherwise ordinary cat suddenly speaks. "Tom Toidrum is dead? Then I am King of the Cats now!" Before he rushed out the door, never to be seen from again.

The photo I submitted for the ManikaManila Tiangge 2017 Photo contest. Eh, wasn’t the best year for me. @_@

Since I took Noboru's picture, I decided to star taking photos of the rest of my crew.

I made a bunch of stuff to sell at the mini market, but didn't take into consideration that it might be a very . . . specific. . . style and size hahaha But I was nonetheless very proud of what I made, so I took photos of Jo-chan in them.

The first sort of meet I was able to go to in Australia was the mini-market that was sort of supposed to be a replacement for the BJD emporium-ish.

Within one month of arriving in Australia, I was #blessed with my first vinyl boyo. It was suprisingly much harder than I thought to dress him so for the first month or so, he only wore these loosefitting clothes that for him were just skin-tight. +A+

One of the last people I met before I left back in June was @dollstars and Vice. Yayoi wanted to say goodbye to one of her favourite people is all. :3c

Before I left for Australia back in June, I had a ‘Filipino’ themed meet since I sorta timed it around independence day. I failed terribly at what I originally had in mind which was something Bagobo-inspired. But it was vaguely still a little cute so I took pics anyway. xD

(Meanwhile, Lourdes just had on that one Maria Clara I had already made before.)

I just wanted to ask, is yayoi transgender or just a crossdresser? If so, why do you use she/her pronouns for yayoi? (I like her either way, I just hope you're not confusing the two?)

Hi anon! :3 Thanks for your question! Yayoi is technically a crossdresser, though I specifically want to distinguish her identity as an otokonoko, which because of some cultural nuances, is not 100% the same as what the western idea of a crossdresser entails.

As for the pronouns, I have written a longer entry on that: http://alekidoll.tumblr.com/tagged/sogie (Sorry, you’re gonna have to scroll down a couple of entries, but I thought that would be a better read than me hurriedly explaining it again.)

Thank you for your ask though, and she & I are both glad you like her! (For the record though, you are free to call her by male pronouns as well. :3)
