Hooray!! Yesterday was the Asian Festival here in Columbus, but more importantly there was a doll meet X3 Great turnout, I think, and several people left before I ever saw them...... I think there were what, 9 or 10 people? And my best count/guess says there were 28 dolls :-O So much fun! So many dolls!! Yay!!!!
......Most importantly, though,
kitazawaoncrack and Yasuo were there ^____^ Adrienne was looking forward to this meetup for weeks~! Because of that, however, I am actually splitting these photos into two batches--first meetup photos in general and then just Adrienne and Yasuo ^^
Okay, I am seriously photo-crazy.... I filled my entire 1GB memory card in the new camera @_@ Granted, this is a 6.3MP camera on the highest quality setting, but still OMG. About 350 photos taken, so yes I AM being selective here! You just can't tell.... I'm getting as bad as
me_under_glass XD
....Enough of me, on to the pictures!!
Adrienne and Al, all dressed and ready to go!!
....A stop at
onesillyfugurl's to rally the troops and play some games X3
Al and I matched!! *total dork*
Al: .....Um......
....The start of a gathering..... Al looks kinda nervous.....
*squee!!* HIZUMI!! That would be
candy_striped36's Soulkid Chase ^^ I just wanted to hug him constantly....
Al, however, was being a good boy and ignoring what could very well have been interpreted as advances by Hizu.
Yuki ^^ Just because I like him.
Jonny and Hizu, on the other hand, hit it right off..... As the Black and White Wearing Boys Without Bits XD
I just thought they were adorable together ^^ Hizu looks all sad and Jonny always smiling.... Between them they break even!
Jonny's bell because macro is my secret lover.
Al got fed up with all the couples pretty quick...
Haha, Yuki babysitting XD That's Darjia and Luka's little boy Kyyu there, he's a Banji!
....And here's why Yuki's babysitting ^^;;
Arial photo of the initial grouping! A lot of us got mixed up and the meetup was in two parts for a LONG time....
Al is left alone as the rest of the group arrives! Most everybody started on the wrong side of the building :( But we found eachother!
ADRIENNE AND YASUO!! The happy reuinion ^_^ They hadn't seen eachother since Ohayocon back in January O_o
And Yasuo's buddy Yukio making a spectacle of himself ^^ Al watches.
....Next to Tarot, who I really like :)
More of the spectacle... This boy DEMANDED attention!
....Okay, I'm not ashamed to admit I like him ^^
The group overall! I believe four people (myself included) and three or four dolls are missing from this photo....
Some big boys whose names I forget ^^;;;;;
A Soom Namu! Nice.
Better yet, Souldoll Paris!! Wow were there ever a lot of Souldolls... Clara, Paris, Chase, Little Kimmy..... Souldoll love!
Al: *acting as their chaperone/discouraging prescence*
Yukio was totally checking out Al. The whole time.
Looks like he was contemplating making a move, but I think I managed to warn him off enough.....
....Cocky little bugger, isn't he? ^_^
Tarot again!
No, Al's not being a voyeur..... In fact, he was quite perturbed by the whole thing. But he never really talked to Yasuo and wanted to see for himself if this guy's good enough for his sister.
.....And Yukio was still checking him out.
So he went over to the other side of the group to hang out with a couple of other guys.
I just liked this bunch ^_^
The Namu and the Chiwoo ^^ I like Chiwoo much better after seeing one in person.
blakrose_eris's Si kitty twins ^^ The one in pink was the only girl doll there besides Adrienne O_o
And some more of her boys ^^
BABY GAARA!! I love him every time I see that little bugger ^^
And an Unola!! Wow... So gorgeous in person.... I can't wait to get Rose!!
Al: I find this disturbing.
Al: No, seriously.
Al: What? I'm gonna hang out over here a while. Away from those two.
Al!
Yukio!
Seine!
The obligatory ear-molestation by Luka. But mostly he was good and left Al alone.
....These are what I've been calling Al's "Excuse me, sir..." pictures ^______^
Al: Um....
Yukio was getting desperate. Apparently he's generally quite the flirt, and was getting nothing all afternoon because Al refused to be involved.
Um. Yeah.
Al: *severely akward moment*
At last, after we were forced to pull Adrienne and Yasuo apart for goodbyes, Al actually got to officially meet him XD
And some extras from later that night!! I went on from the meetup to Aislinn's 18th birthday party (HAPPY BIRTHDAY ACE!!) and Lucy asked me to bring Adrienne along because she's being a dear and making her a lovely blue dress ^^ So the Canadian was sewing, and Adrienne was standing around....
.....Hand + Locket = <3
And she had to take her pants off for measurements.
Adrienne: Oh, so I'm not allowed to take anything but my jacket off around YASUO, but you'll readily strip me down in front of a bunch of strangers?! XO Where is the justice?!
Verdict: A great day!!! But I'm still not caught up on sleep @_@ Got about 8 hours between Friday and Saturday, but only 6 last night.
Adrienne+Yasuo only coming up next!
