Otakon 06: Post your Pictures here Please. ^_^

Awwww, bless!! It was great to see you, too!!

*glomps*

The funny thing is that I was just writing a "Post your Otakon pictures here" post . . . and you beat me to it by a couple of minutes ^_^

Here are a couple of my pics as a placeholder . . . I'll hopefully have the rest ready to post tomorrow!

The always-awesome Donn of Bishonen House:



Aislinn (CP Lishe) and Jennet (Bambi Crony Cookie) chilling out during the group-shot setup:



One angle of the final group shot:



There will be more (oh yes, many more), but first I have to SLEEEEP!

I had such a fantastic time this year, and it was incredibly cool getting to see so many friends (both in passing and one-on-one), and, in general, YAY.

*hugs to all!*

-- A (who will have a more coherent post tomorrow. After sleep. *crash*)

 

Ashbet, when did you take those pictures of that group shot? Was that at the meetup on Saturday? If so, which time. Because i really wanted to have an opportunity to hang out with Donn too T_T;! I just got to talk to him for a bit at the Artist Ally. He is an amazing person. Much love to him !

 

Those pics were from the Saturday morning meetup -- we were some of the first people there (OMG, I was on time to something!) . . . Donn had to leave at a certain point to set up in Artist's Alley. He really is awesome, I love him to bits!! It was so cool to see him get a standing ovation at the BJD panel

Editing the rest of the pics now . . . more soon!

(Oh my gosh, I'm so in love with this doll )












(some guy got *really* excited when he saw that this doll looked like him.)

Huge shout-outs to Vanillashine, Kevin, Mela, Donn, Dizziness and the BJD Revolution team, Britt, Britt's awesome mom, Kaz, Fauxfaia, Tempest_Strife, and the whole DoA crew in general, uhmm . . . I'll think of more later, I know I'm totally leaving some wonderful people out due to post-con stupor, but I had to get that out of the way first ;D

Here are some selected highlights:

My sp00ky dolly-coffin (containing Aislinn, Kumiho, and my yet-nameless PureNeemo girl, who I just got back from Vanillashine with an adorably cute face-up):



Pics from the Saturday-morning meetup:







Kumiho sulking on the other couch while everyone else was being social:

Mela's Sean:



Utterly captivating Unoa Light Azurite:



Maeve, Aislinn, and Jennet converse:



Me glomping Mela, who OMG WON FIRST PLACE in her Masquerade division!! Er, not in this outfit, although it's quite fetching ^_^



BJD Revolution LOVE!!



Donn's AMAZING Bishonen House dolls (he sculpted and cast every part himself, and he and his friend Drew made the costumes -- info for those new to his work, I know that most of you are already quite familiar with it!):





Britt and her mom (whose name I'm spacing on, bad me -- help me out, please, Britt!!):



Hanging out in Vanillashine's hotel room, I got to meet my Number One Dolly Crush, the delightful Cicily:





(cont'd again)

 

Aww, it looks like it was an awesome time! :3 Wish I could've been there - maybe next year XD

 

Last pics!!

Fun fun fun at the Schism table:





My Jennet (Bambi Crony Cookie, face-up by Batchix) seems quite taken with Lone Sheep's Wren (one-off Enn from the NY Volks Tea last weekend):





Kira and I had so much fun!! Thanks to everyone for making it such a good time

*much love*

-- Andi

 

In no particular order:

 

After poking through the twelve or more pictures I do have of the meets, only five or eight came out unshaky (and shaky like whoa). Unm. I was the weird freak with the slytherin shirt/popple lunchbox. ._. Hi. Be warned for rambling about the pics.


Tobias. Both owner and doll were utter sports for letting me see the unfinished (but now sorta finished) pants on an actual doll. =3 Kisses to both. I shall use darts next time, yes.



YaoiLover~ I still love your doll. And, sadly, will find a way to own a tan'd soo ri as well. TT_TT And hopefully someone has a better onshot of that group shot. I was still too nervous to get close to the doll owners.



Lucas is so pretty. Very pretty. He's not much of a fan of gravity though. Many kisses to the owner. Even though I acted like a spazoid, I was allowed to handle pretty, pretty lucas. Much luck on getting chrisy.


I had fun dollsitting Camine. Tho, when two youths looked like they were heading my way, I got nervous and moved the camine closer to me instead of infront and off to the side. >.>;;; Thankfully they went away and I went back to ripping out stitches of those pants.

And while I walked my feet raw, got half deef, and nearly had a panic attack before the concert, ..and nearly chickened out for the dollmeet, I had a blast. =3 And have a better understanding of the dolls. Whee! Now I go back to lurking, yes.

After a random, maybe off the wall picture of the dollmeet. =3

 

WAH! I need to get my pictures up! Ashbet, you took such lovely pictures of my boys!! *feels special*

*wiggles around*

 

I just loved your little Miriel's skeptical expression at Donn's tall lanky Kai and my grumpy Kumiho sitting next to her . . . she is a treasure!

D'aww, thank you! They're awesome, I just had to . . . and, besides, who could resist the mighty power of the BLACK SHEEP HAT??!? ;D

I'm so bummed that I missed the end of the BJD panel . . . wah! I'd promised Kira that we'd watch the Full Metal Alchemist movie premiere, though, so I had to be there for the start of the movie to get my seat . . . but the panel was so much fun for the part that I did get to attend, I'm glad it was on a Saturday this year so that more people could come!

*hands out glompings*

-- A

 

Wow!~ So many beautiful dolls! ::pokes Pe and Bu and Gutterbear:: And the people aren't bad either. ^_- Britt, you're awesomely hot.

 

Britt I hope you don't mind hearing this from another girl but, Oh my gosh your so pretty!!! -fluffs- May I worship you? =DDD

 

Hahaha yey; no dolls but... its me and my mum!!

My mum's name is Renee by the way. ;]

Glad we could see you a few times, dear!! Miss you lots~

Gunna post my bunch of pictures soon!!

PS- Anyone who got pictures of me or me and the boys/girl, please lemme know. I would love more pictures of my costume. >3>

 

D'aww~~ missed these comments at first!! My gosh guys, thank you! *3*

Heehee~~~ thank you!! I'm really flattered. Hardly ever called that.

Oh, no problem at all; doens't bother me at all! Heehee and sure, you can worship me if you want to. ^3^ -hughug-~

 

Seriously, your hardly called awsomely hott?

That shocks me.

Yay!! -bows down- 33

 

Yay Otakon photos!! I had a great time, though I am ultra sorry for not being able to make it to any of the meet-ups or the panel *sob* my sister did though, maybe she will post photos, too :3
But to the people that I did get to meet in the Alley, you guys rock!! It was so awesome! (^0^

 

^__^ Glad everyone had such a good time!

I should be going next year, if I have the cash, of course.

 

Unfortunately, I couldn't bring my boys with me because I had way too much going on cosplay wise since I was in the masquerade. There was no way that I could have carried them and delt with my costume at the same time. ;_; I did get to see Donn's guys in Artist's Alley on Sunday. It is nice to look at the pictures everyone took.

 

WAHHHH I'M SO SAD I DIDN'T GO TO THE FRIDAY AND SATURDAY MORNING MEETUPS. I missed Jules+Lewis and I'm really sad now. Wah.

Anway I spy a couple pictures of Tobias and Miku~ I'll post all mine later. It was awesome meeting some of you guys on Saturday! 3

 

hee hee I can't wait to see the double trouble MNF shiwoo pics. XD

 

Yes... hardly.
Believe me, I usually don't look as coo las I did on Friday and Sunday. XD

-hughug-~~ ^3^

 

*laughs* A couple of my friends from another forum ran across the Saturday morning meetup! One of them came back and sent me a picture of this group: http://www.matermetis.com/Pics/Otakon06/images/Meetup_04.jpg and was telling me "Those dolls of yours are becoming a trend! There was this big group of girls who all had them!"

 

Now I'm curious -- where'd you find them? (That's my photo -- funny how these dollies get around!)

-- A

 

I'm really happy I got to meet you! I wasn't able to make it to any of the meetups, so I was glad that people found me in the artist alley. Jennet was so precious. Sorry for being so out of it at that point, by Sunday I was so sleep deprived that I looked really bad.

I hope I can meet everyone again at the next event I can get to. =D

 

I'm happy to get to meet you, too!! Congrats again on Ren, he is SO cute in person, even more so than in his photos . . . and, pssshhh, you looked fine, everyone's a little shell-shocked on a con-Sunday :>

Hope to see you again as well! Maybe you can make it to one of the MD/VA/DC meetups?

*hugs!*

-- A

 

Hehe, i have tons of pics from Otakon ^^''

Here's some from the Friday meet:
























more in reply ^_^

 

and from the Saturday meet after the panel ^^














And more again ^^''

 

And some more ^^''

 

I had so much fun at the meetups ^^ Seeing everyone's dolls was so great!

 

Wow! Everyone looks so awesome! Sucks that I couldn't make it this year, but I'm hoping for next year! All the dollies look terrific!

My sister went with a bunch of her friends and she said something along the lines of 'OMG Crissy, you should have went! There we so many of your dolls there! I saw a SEPHIROTH doll and a CLOUD doll and they were AMAZING!!!'

So, who ever owns the Sephy and Cloud dolls get mad props from my sister! XD

 

oo great pictures!!! i wish i could have gone to otakon. BRITT- you look so prettiful!!!! *hugs* we miss taizo

 

Ohh man I was at Otakon but I got lost and couldn't find where the BJD meetups were. I have no sense of direction. Oh well, it looks like you all had a great time there anyway. Maybe I'll be able to find you all next year

 

Thank you darlin'!

Taizo misses you guys tooo~~~
Hopefully we can get together soon after you come back. ;]

and ahahhaa~ yey, a shot of Maguro's funny squat pose!
Oh how I do love SOOM bodies... XD

 

how awesome! I couldn't make it this year myself, but I plan on making it next year (will be my first con n.n) congrats everyone! glad you had a wonderful time

 

Uwa, I'm sad I wasn't able to go to more of the meets. I was working all weekend in the Dealer's Room. I was the one selling the Lucas, and he found a good home. ^__^ I'm happy about that!

I'm glad I met so many awesome people. It was fun. I'm definately going back next year, and hopefully I'll have more time to go to the meets. ^_^

 

I wish you could have come to the other meets. ;_; But we did see each other a couple times in the dealer's room, eh (I hope souls and I didn't get you in trouble XD;; )!

 

Bwaa, I look like crap. XD My bangs wouldn't stop being all Sailor Moon-y all that day, it was awful.

I took about a dozen or so pictures from the meetups and the panel, but only half of them turned out alright:

 

hmm, I have pics from the beginning of the late-Saturday meet but they all looked about the same, so. XD;



I'm sorry I didn't get to stick around, my friend and I had to run off to meet someone to go to the Masquerade. =o Maybe next time.. XD

 

Does anyone have pictures from the BJD panel? (Fauxfaia, I'm looking at you!) My camera was with Kira (d'oh!), so I didn't get any pics . . .

I'd especially love to see the ones of Jennet with the Yo-SD's and Leekeworld littles -- I know there were some, just not sure who had the camera :>

-- Andi

 

Aww, I'm so upset I didn't get to go this year. Stupid mono. T___T I wanted to see Donn's dolls! And I wanted to go to a meet up. Cause there are no Dollfie owners in my area. ;_; But it looks like everyone had a lot of fun! And I love all of the wonderful pictures!

 

I had the camera!! You asked me to take the littl'uns pictures.
I haven't gotten around to resizing them...the hunderd or so that need it scare me...;__;

 

A couple of ID's if possible?

Madpuss -

Who is the redhead in the picture above your text"YaoiLover~ I still love your doll."?

Ashbet -

Who is the doll at the Schism table with the red braided pigtails wig?

Thanks!

Carolyn

 

AWWW its so awesome, I found Jacques and Lewis, my friends boys, she inspired me to get a doll. Aww there soo cute.

 

Did anyone happen to get pictures of Kai, kyos_kilt's new Mo? o.o

 

She's a Unoa named Terranova: http://thereare.no-gentlemen.net/?cat=22

HTH!

-- A :>

P.S. Lugi-moo, THANK you -- I will be eternally in your debt for taking those photos, I was so sad that I'd forgotten the camera!

 

that panle was a lot of fun. and everyone's dolls were so beautiful! i was stupid and forgot a camera ;_;

 

Yanno, that is a very good question. o_o I honestly don't remember. Which is bad, cause I'm pretty sure I fangirl the doll. If you're after the mold, I think that's a chiwoo mini fee. I think the owner is the same one that owns Tobias. I've never been very good with remembering names. XD

 

Oh, that's Kasai's MNF Shiwoo, MaddPuss. 8D

 

Ah! See..I still need to brush up on my mold skillz. Much thanks, Scoot. Least I was half right. ._. Sorta.

 

I hope every one had fun and that the Friday night/PJ meet went well! Riku was a grumpy brat that entire weekend for having to miss Otakon... x.x

 

I admit it, I had a blast. Even if I was terrified in the beginning. Of both Friday and Saturday meets. But next year, I plan on hiding behind my doll ( I *will* have him for otakon. ._. ) and use him as a shield or bravery pill.

..I should resume sewing up that haori. T_T

 

I don't have pictures of him at Otakon, but I DO have pictures of him? >3>

 

Haha, beat me to it! XDD

I'm sorry I wasn't able to attend any of the meets either (Hell, I didn't even get any pictures the entire con!) but that comes along with having to work a table all weekend. XD; Next year I'll try to make it to one of them. =3 I did have a blast chatting with those who came by the table though, it was great meeting those that found me! =D
