I had a great time at my first meet, thanks for organising it, River! Just because I really want pictures of all the dolls I didn't manage to take ones of before my camera died... that, and to double-check I got everyone's names right. If you've got some pictures it'd be lovely to see them! Here are a few of mine, I apologise for my terrible focus/shaky hands. Hyde and Owen, I think? Cinnamonmouse's AOD Gu boy. And I have no idea how he managed to change his expression and smile for this one, and I must apologise for forgetting names, but I think these two belong to Serarosa?
Aw sorry i couldn't come and join you guys this time but glad my mate Cinnamonmouse did... Owen's first meet up and he's been making friends already! Pretty Hyde, yay! More pics?!
Aww, I'm sorry to have missed you. There were some gorgeous dolls... it was amazing to see them. I feel really lucky I have more photos but I'm not sure about names, especially what with DoA names and real names... I believe these two rather gorgeous dolls belong to Blue? Fenn, and Sable. I loved his watch!! And Witchypoo's (I think?) Edward, looking extremely good considering he's been through the wars Gorgeous eyed boy, whose name I can't remember, (WolfeClaw's Ciaran?) but he really is amazing... could stare at him for days... Cinnamonmouse's Owen, eying up his competition/looking for a quick exit should he need it! And because I can't help myself, Hyde and Owen again... and Hyde, frightening a patron of the Starbucks we took over. Hehe... And then of course, my camera died.
rofl she looks seriously miffed XD I loved all the weird looks we got, I was so tempted to say something to most of them. I'll post my pics tonight ^^ just need to sort through the rest of them first
lololol THAT WOMAN XD it was such a loverly meet and so nice to see you all I'm waiting eagerly for the next one 8D will post my(very few that aren't aislin) pictures later
Hehe awesomeness X3 Am gonna see if any of my pics are worth posting tonight when I get back from work, so if so, I'll be putting them up tomorrow ^_^ And yes, his name at the moment is Ciaran, but subject to change XDD
What was the deal with the girl that picked her way into the middle of the tables, randomly took a picture of the table by the window and buggered off again btw? Jaxa and I where kinda sat there all "Wtf? Rude much?"
Oh yeah she was weird. She took a couple of pics beside the sugar and milk counter too. It wouldn't have hurt her to ask! And YES! Thank you for organising the meet! i didn't expect to enjoy it so much! Anyway, wow so many gorgeous pics and beautiful dolls! I'm afraid that, for all the photo's I took, the majority of them came out really blurry, which is probably just a mixture of my crappy photography skills and my old camera. These ones came out the least blurry (and a couple are still pretty bad.. ) This is my fave out of all the ones I took: Daaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwww: I'm gutted though cuz there were so many lovely dols I'd have liked to take better pics of so I'm definitely looking forward to seeing more pics later!
Ooh I'm defo gna have to put up some of my pics. Even if they were just of Quinny and his...antics I think my camera loved Nori too it couldn't stay away from her and I'm wanting a Soony so bad now ah well have to consult the other half first I think :P
Noriko is such a pretty thing, unfortunatley I was doing that much experimentation with my camera hardly any of my pics came out. Bar a few which are here ^^ I had so much fun~!
Thanks to River for sorting out this meet. It was lovely to meet up with everyone new and old A big Thank You to Ann for the fab dread wig she made for me. Its total . And I finally got to meet a Berman!!!! Looking forward to seeing Ashers aborted attempt at seducing Bracy's Quinn Lets make the next meet soon!
I had such a great time yesterday at the meet, I'm sorry I had to dash off so soon. Everyone was really great and all the dollies were really amazing I can't wait for the next one!!
Heres mine I may have to rotate some of these again >< but hopefully they're okay I think I may have motherd Quinn a bit that day but it was his first meet after all. The lovely Nori of course ^^ Whey the two Dollshe boys ^^ Meeting some of the ladies Nife seems to want to get better aqquainted lol more to come later
Bloody hell, took more than I thought but still didnt manage to take pics of some dolls D: If I didnt take one of yours I'm so sorry, some didn't quite come and and tbh I blame the bermann...he made me grope him honest.
Twas a really good meet, nice to see you all and your beautiful dorries! Most of mine came out blurry, my hands were so shaky ): I don't think drinking coffee before photography really helped! But here's a few that came out alright: Love these shoes!
Gibbers at the loveliness of the photos ! Seriously, I was in Soony heaven yesterday - I had one on each side of me, bliss ! So beautiful and so different to each other ! Cutie Delf Michael was there ! So many great dolls to see - my first Spinel ( the lovely Asher ), the amazing Hyde ( first Minimee I've ever seen ), the indescribably lovely Migidoll Ryu ( although these amazing photos do show him beautifully - crumbs, I can't get over him ! ), Coco and BonBon and Special K... worn out with all the beauty !!! It was great to see everyone and enjoy so many different dolls in one place. Hurrray for the upper floor of St**b**ks too - which we commandeered. If we'd had a pound for every weird look we got (not to mention the random girl photographer) we'd have had enough for a new blank head each ! Note to self : must thin out Dai's wig a bit He greatly enjoyed the fondling he experienced - he loves meets ! River, I love to pieces the photo you took of my Shayhi (Soom Gena/Feeple hybrid). This is why I don't take photos - I leave to people who do it properly ! Will now stop gibbering and leave space for more lovely photos ! Jaxa
lol love the one of michael! Isn't it funny how the DSLR owners were too busy messing about with their cameras and gabbing? x3 heres the few of mine that came out well(I sadly too far too many of aislin and not enough of everyone elses <o<)
I have uber loads of pics mainly of Quinn I dunno what people thought of me while taking these I am not a pervert glares at Claire* I like Yaoi and I was checking out the posability of my boy
I thought it was cute and Quinn's such a handsome doll. And I love your excuse. I'm gonna 'check out the posability' of my boy too!
That's going to be my favourite euphemism from now on : "checking out the poseability of my boy" !!! I'd offer Dai's services, but he's busy checking out the Feeple's poseability for himself as we speak... Love the photos of my guys here ! Thank you so much everyone ! Blue : Love the shoes photo ! The way his feet look with the socks on just kills me ! Jaxa
Is it just me, or do the rest of you get a thrill when someone else posts a pic of your kids? I feel like a proud Mama, when my dolls get attention.
I was very proud when everyone was saying my boy was bootiful Yet more of the pics Bow to the gorgeous outfits This is one of my faves Ashers advance
Ashers advance continued Uhoh Nife: Just cos I'm not wearing the cloak doesnt make me any less badass.
I love this bit : It made me laugh. It was the 'oopsie' pose that did it. And because I can't get enough here's Hyde, Owen and the return of Bewildered Girl:
The pic of Nife thrusting poor Asher away from Quinn is brill!! The look on all their faces are just priceless!
Most of my pics turned out crap =O I don't remember a lot of the day, to be honest... >.>; Because that day I was so so so so sleepy.... but why do I have like a million pics of Lynsey's beautiful boy? XDDD My Nori pics all have Rachel's camera light! O.o! lmao I have a not so blurry 'Do you have an oppointment' Micheal pic I'll try and fix up and post though XDDD
sorry bout that I think I have enough Nori pics for both of us tho Damn I almost defo want a Soony now. Damn me having no job *shakes fist*
I must drop in to give a quick 'phwoar' - there are some stunning dolls and photographs in here! All that fiddling with DSLRs certainly paid off!
Awww I loved that little tiny she was so adorable. Wt was she? I really want a tiny just to take round with me to places. I was actually thinking of getting a Dollshe Ru but now I want something smaller means I can recycle my old Barbie stuffs :P
I didn't get mine from them, but releaserain does sell some ^^ Although I think they only have MSD size stocked right now x.x; But you can usually ask them and they will tell you if they have them/can get hold of them. They got me a pair of eyes they didn't have listed on their ebay site, but that I'd seen them sell before ^_^ Be warned though, some people have problems with this seller o.o; I did only once out of the five times I've bought from them when they listed an item they did not have in stock so stalled me for nearly three months before admitting it and letting me pick a more expensive pair of shoes from their shop xwx;
The leetle tiny is a 'Ball Jointed Doll Ai' ('Freesia' version) by Jun Planning, the folks who do Pullip. There was some debate about her filling DOA's BJD criteria, as she's not made of resin Last time I checked, she had just scraped in by ticking all the other boxes! Happily, her non-resin ball jointedness made her more wallet-friendly Little Dropsy had a lovely time and enjoyed meeting everyone and their beautiful dolls, looking petulant, pointing at things and showing off her pancake. (Dropsy later acquired some Balloons, thanks to a suggestion from Ratty and Kuru...) http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2405/2294385052_23696dc19d.jpg?v=0
OK...I'm having a few Flickr problems right now, but I do have some more photos to add to the existing fab images. Late, as ever In the meantime, could anyone please tell me if there's an etiquette re. posting peektures with Owners/'Parents' clearly visible in the shot? Like, is it OK if meet-humans appear by default (ie. background)? Or is it more polite to avoid posting pics where we crop up in plain view near the Resin Lovlies, and just concentrate on showing the BJDs instead? (I enquire because I have some nice dollie shots where the humans can't really be edited out. And because I'm an anxious noob, of course )
Theres not a problem of posting meet-up images featuring humans in the background x333 Also! Have you checked the new leeds/york meet-up thread? 8D I'd love to see you again sweets! You up from earth quakes?
I've been lurking around the Leeds/York thread, but am having some 'floating date' issues - I start a new job on Monday, so should know soon if I can do March, or April...or *Both* I so enjoyed that York mini-meet last Summer, and would like to repeat the experience/stay longer/get some neat outdoor photos. Hmmn, and I recall deliciousss cocktails too! But, back to the last Leeds meet.... I arrived late and then felt a little shy about circulating, so I didn't get shots of all the dolls I was admiring. Hopefully next time! I clearly got a bit fixated on the Hyde/Owen/Eden Lurve Triangle, though BTW, big thanks to River for the texts and help in finally getting me down there. I was really glad I made it out to play.
I was wondering if you were going to post any pics! Looking forward to seeing them. I don't mind at all if I happen to be in a shot. Just curious, anyone else from this Leeds meet planning on going to this Manchester meet on the 9th March? I know a couple are. http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?t=192381&page=7&highlight=manchester
Haha, Hyde's such a little ho-bag. I won't be at the York meet, but I'll try and make the one in April- it'd be lovely to see you and your girl again
I had such fun playing with Hyde and Owen in photoshop. I just meant to tweak the lighting a bit, but then got totally carried away! No Manchester on the 9th for me, but I'm hoping for at least one of the 'local' meets. I may leave Eden and her wandering elf ears at home, and bring along one of her siblings instead. Better posing possibilities
lol! You posted your pics before i finished writing my post. Doh. Great pics though. I really need to learn to take good pictures.
It'll be nice to see you for sure! 8DDD hopefully next time we can have a proper chat xD I promise cake aswell! And cocktails sounds like a gem to me!
