Cu poche Box Opening and Review: Alice Crimson version (with video)

Today, I'm opening my last Cu-poche doll for now. This is the limited Crimson Alice version. 

Basically, this new Alice is the same as the previous Alice, except for the dress, shoes and bow. 

This Alice is not yet out for sale world wide and I managed to get her at the last AK-garden in Asakusa. I actually went to that event especially to get this Alice. I thought that it was sort of too late for me to get the original version for a decent price so I was going to get this one instead but ended up with both of them.

I think they are super cute and they look really great together too. 

Compare to the original Cu-poche friends: Anne, Belle and Cherry, Alice comes with a lot more clothes and accessory which make her really special. Both her feet and shoes are wearing the magnet enabling her stay, bare feet or with shoes on her magnetised doll stand. 

She has a nice range of motion and has no problem to stand even boxing on her magnetic stand.

Vlog #74 Shopping at the Azone Store, Visit to Amiami and Anniversary lucky bags (with video)

Today, I have another vlog for you. I was supposed to stay home and film review videos, but last night my husband told me that the azone store was selling lucky bags again for the anniversary. I freaking love that they have anniversary events like that, seriously.
So today, I once again went to Akihabara around 11 o'clock in the morning to try and grab my lucky bags. My husband was supposed to come with me but I let him sleep instead.

I could manage to get my bags just fine, there were a lot of people in radio Kaikan but not as much in the azone store itself, at least it was less crowded than yesterday overall. 

I took some pictures of the Happiness Clover expo. The expo was in preparation yesterday so I was lucky to be able to see that today. Also, I took pictures of the other doll exposed all over the store. Then I went downstairs to Amiami. It was possible to vlog a bit on the inside, at least to take video of the store. There is so many things there, figures, dolls, plushies, cards....

And then of course, I went back home and couldn't wait to see what's inside the lucky bags.

It was actually a lot of fun and I'm so happy with all the clothes I got, I got super cute items.

WeWriWar 215: Rainbow catcher

Welcome to a new excerpt of Rainbow Catcher for the Weekend Writing Warrior and Snippet Sunday.

Now let's go back to our story.

Summary of previous episodes: Clarissa is coughing and wanted to watch Everett Cooper on TV but Jason refused, she is due to get her rainbow the next day but she seems scared, to make her feel better Jason leave the TV on. Clarissa tried to explain about rainbows, she is a big fan of Everett Cooper but Jason is not too sure about it. Clarissa complained about her dialophone but Jason needs to go to work. Before completely leaving he is thinking about getting her her rainbow. We flashed back to the meeting Jason had with a rainbow seller at the black market. Jason left Clarissa's room to go to work. Jason was talking to his boss about the rainbow coming the next day. Jason prepared the money for the rainbow in a sport bag and went to the hospital. The rainbow seller arrived for the delivery. But it was a scam and Jason prepares to go get the rainbow himself in the desert. Markus has a last surprise for him.

We start just where we left off last week.

The yellow air burned him from inside every time he was inhaling, he couldn’t even imagine the effect it would have on his naked skin outside. He knew how Markus had gotten sick in the desert. 

He was progressing fast, getting deeper and deeper in the desert with every turn of wheels, feeling grateful to have the bike instead of the long hours he would have spent in the bus, his spirit lost in the yellow. He was waiting for the first town to appear. He would have given anything for some water and that was another new thing. 

In Polysky city, he had never felt thirsty. Even in the low quarter where he was living, there were fountains everywhere, almost in every street. During the summer, the kids used to play in them in their bathing suits.

Vlog #73 Miu unicorns: Azone store trip and boxes opening (with video)

Today I went to pick up the Miu Unicorns Excute at the azone store.

There are two of them, the very limited blue unicorn and the moderately limited mint unicorn.

They are basically the same except for the hair color.

I also wanted to get 2 more of the blue unicorn for friends, unfortunately, they only allowed two dolls per person.

I couldn't take any pictures at the store because it was only opened for those two dolls, people wanting other items actually waited outside to be allowed in. One thing that was really strange today was that I could get my doll before 11am. The sell was supposed to open at 11am but instead they started to let people in before I arrived. I arrived around 10:35am and there was no cue in the stairs as they usually do, instead we had to go back and forth between the product. I spend so much time queuing that I really wanted to buy some doll clothes but I didn't want to queue again to be allowed at the store.

I said on the video that I will have the reviews of the dolls up tomorrow but in fact, something came up and I'll have to go back to the azone store. That will be a surprise for you.

I also went to the new Amiami store in Radio Kaikan but it was super crowded and I couldn't vlog to I'll try that again tomorrow. Hopefully it will be a little better event though probably not because of the long weekend here in Japan.
