My sister and I spent half the day at Dollectable today, and it was amazing! We both left early-ish, but not after taking tons of pictures and having lots of fun. I only have a few to post, as I forgot my camera's battery (grrr!) and my sister took all of these. She's new to photographing dolls, and the lighting there was so low! These are mostly her's, with flash. The sign coming up to the hotel. Love the "e"! Bermann for auction. He was lovely. Ignore my hand hold up my own doll. We wanted a real quick comparison picture. Post all of your photos, we'd all love to see them! It was a lot of fun to meet everyone, and I hope everyone had a great time! Edit: Also, here's a quick one of my Shall in most of the limited Marie Antoinette outfit from Dollheart. She's not in the wig or feathers, as I'm not a huge fan of the wig myself, and may sell it. Sorry for the poor quality; this dress is huge and difficult to photograph with the limited light right now, and wind!
wow you're fast! I'm looking at these from the hotel Clarion ^^ It was a lovely place to stay in and the first day of this event was really fun! I met some really lovely people too! Would love to see more photos
I want more! It looks so fun, I wish I'd been able to go. I love your Shall's corset, btw. And Shall, for that that matter.
Great teasers! I just want to see more. I love your shall and her wardrobe. Where is her corset from?
awesome meeting so many of you again! all i can say is WOW, it was incredible seeing so many bjd's and bjd accessories, all in one place. major thank you's to Liz and Kelly on their hard work and bang-up job!
Dolls!!! Outfits!!! Looks like so much fun! But I know that if I were there, I'd be so POOR afterwards!!!
Oh man. Envy strikes!! Color me Green! That whole row of DZ babes makes me want to go sell off all my anime cels I just love the little critters. And I swear I recognize the little guy in the pirate suit Oh... and those WINGS! Wow. Gorgeous.
omg... is that.... a sabik? o_o i SERIOUSLY thought your shall was a bee-a next to an SD o_o I mean... crap...
Oh, I saw those corsets! Or at least some like them. I wanted to buy a set, but had already spent my money. ;_; Your Shall looks beautiful in it!
None of my pics from inside Dollectable came out, the lighting was dim, but here are a few of the things I bought there - hope it's ok ^ ^ The corset set is Mystic Messenger, the black outfit is Elfdoll boy clothes on a Dollzone girl body.
Oh i wish i could go to something like this here in the UK, such gorgeuos pics and i so giggled at the wobbly 'E' hanging on the sign.....it's just so evocative. ^_^
Wow....Sabik is TALL! He's gonna be a giant among my children. Thanks for posting pics, and please post more, folk! I can't go sadly, due to a cold. (shakes fist at wall) Dollectable sounds like it was a success for its first meet! I'll definately be there for round 2!
Love Love Love those Corsets Your Shall has got to be one of the most beautiful Shalls I've ever seen, And that Gorgeous Lishe!!!! WOw Please Please PLease most more pictures guys ~Anthony
Wow, look at all those lovely dolls, and the Bermann leaves me speechless every time I see him! Ohh, I just wish I could have been there! That corset is amazing; I would love to have one of those!
I wish we had something like this in the UK too, but we have the Doll Zone at JapanEx - it's a start! Looking forward to more Dollectable pics, is it still going on?
Omg, Thanatos and I had so much fun. ;~~~; Thank you so much to everyone who worked to allow this con to happen~ It was incredibly enjoyable and a great experience! I took well over 600 photos, so it'll be awhile until mine are posted, but I'll be sure to post them when I get them edited. ^^;
Some random ones from the 40 or so pix I took - feel free to claim and name your dolls, I can't remember everyone: My Unidoll Jace (Koro) with one of the many small companions who flocked to him for photo-ops that weekend (both the Narsha and the little sword belong to the awesome Lugi-Moo):
we took a ton of photos -- mizunoseiryuu, ancatsidhe and i attended all three days of Dollectible. it was great seeing everyone, and we're seriously hoping it will happen again next year! here's our photos: Dollectible 2007 from the Park Bench Creations/OtherRealms crew!
She's my Lydia, Anna! I'm flattered she's getting such a warm reception, she doesn't even have a body yet. ^_^; Thanks so much for the compliments! I have a TON of photos to share when I get back later this week from the convention. Stay tuned!
was definitely fun! Maybe i'll post some pics if any of them turned out! I totally spoiled my doll aghhh!
Wow intermission you got tons My favorites are 7185 (the tiny in the white flowers) and 7078 (the dolls in order by height in front of the Golden Gate)
I think most of our dolls were spoiled rotten by the end of the con - I know that mine were (including ones that I had to leave at home to save my arms/sanity!) The con was a huge hit, it really was -- I didn't take any pictures until Sunday, and even then it was mostly to poke at the Bermann. XD
Does anybody have photos of the dealers' room? I'm very curious to see photos of that as well as any panel photos!
Here are just a few I took at the pajama party (sorry about the flash!) And sorry Mara, but I don't have any photos of the dealer's room.
Meowvelous! Thank you so much! I am eager to see more event-y pictures to get that feeling of being there without being able to be there. Bummed that I missed it.
So jealous, I wish I could've been there! XD Hah, Kay, that would be our deckswabber - JS is carrying them now. Wish I could've attended in the flesh!
I see so many familiar faces!!! I wish I could have been there! Thank you for sharing the pictures! I was screaming, and laughing, and YAY!
Here are all the pictures I took. I wish I would have taken more, but I'm kind of camera impaired anyway. Sorry for some of them being blurry. I blame the lighting and my lack of sleep.
I wish I would have taken pics but I was just so excited to be there and meet people I forgot most of the time I had a camera on me I did manage to get some shots of the Bermann though...... Thanks for all the photos and it was soooo awesome to meet everyone and see these dolls in person!
....thats my full size Luts boy Jaque...customized with sculpy over resin head,in hiz Volks tux with tails {hes a little nightmare inspired bonehead}...thanks !/crybabymommie
I was far to excited to be there and look around to take many pictures.. but I did force myself to take a few in one corner of the vendor hall.. It was sooo awesome there.. I was dying to go back on Sunday and buy another mini bjd but I did not want to pay the 35 dollar fee..
The Narsha with the orange hair clinging to the big guy's leg is mine. XD And I'd totally buy that updo wig if someone is selling it. =O
Posted just a few shots to my LJ, was having too much fun and took no pics http://kyotopunk.livejournal.com/51691.html Many thanks to the lot of folks who made this all happen!!
Oh, that softly she walks bliss outfit on the narae to the left is really nice >.> Was this a one-off or something?
Oh the pictures just keep getting better! I see so many dolls that I recognize! And even one actual person! The souldoll booth pictures are awesome! Did anybody get pictures of the Unidoll booth?
My dolls constantly evade photography. I was so busy running security and doing tech support on the various pieces of technology we had there that I hardly had any time to actually photograph things. If anyone got pictures of Maelyn, (The CP Soony in the Kurumi wig that was in one of the bathtubs during the cocktail party) could you post them? I only briefly got to see her in the tub. Same for my Kurumi doing the whole Joan-of-Arc thing. :P
oh my god I think I would have had some sort of sensory overload explosion seeing all those bjds at once......... awesome pics!!
Oh my that looked like a awesome time seeing all those wonderful dolls, but maybe one day I'll be able to go to a doll convention and see them up close.
I second the request for more Dollfair photos. Maybe I'll have to try and drag my parents next year. I think my mom would enjoy it much more than she'll admit. and omg... o.o are those tiny, nekkied Bahas I see? Bahas! X3
Waa, so many great photos! So nice to meet so many faces, & finally attach them to your names! Thank you to everybody who came out & enjoyed yourselves so much. I was stuck at that Volunteers Desk the whole weekend, but everybody I saw was having a good time (although everybody WAS rubbing their sore doll-carrying arms a bit by Sunday morning ^^). I met so many different kinds of people & a rainbow variety of dollies... and let's not get started on the shopping... It was like a giant 3-day meetup, but with extra shopping perks & naughty slideshows. But I didn't take many photos of my own, at all. And the ones I did take, none of them were any good. There's just something disgusting about the lighting in all rooms of all hotels. :P So, thanks for everyone here posting so many hundreds of great pics. (My favorite photo of all time = The drooping "E" on the sign out front of the Ghetto Clarion. Thanks, Clarionpeople, you make us look like a real classy outfit. XD Ah well, they did fix it later.) Doublethanks to Miz Lizzegirle for masterminding the whole shebang, & hope we get to put this thing on again next year.
crap, again I wish I had saved up for this!! Next year i suppose!! It's nice to see so many folks had fun!!
Those Souldolls are beautiful, especially the Grave Watcher. I can't wait to see more pics. Glad I didn't go (not really). I would have spent too much money.
You're so right JennyN, the lighting was terrible in there - I didnt even save a quarger of the pictures I took because of the indoor lighting. Some smarties though managed to take pictures in the lobby and under the skylights and out on the grounds which were really well lit when the fog moved away on Saturday. Did get in these shots though - More people pictures to come! Alex
