I finally got my July Amiami order home today~ \uff08*\u00b4\u25bd\uff40*\uff09\u2665 The package arrived into the country already on Monday, and I had to wait until Tuesday before they bothered to update the tracking saying my package is in customs so that I could finally pay the ransom… and even though I paid early Tuesday morning, it took until today for the package to be available for pick up at my local post office… grrrh! Every time it’s a package that I’m really, really anticipating, they’re super slow! (\u00b4\u2229\uff40\u3002)<\/p>\n

But now it’s here and I’ll finally get to open it, yaaay! o(\u2267\u2207\u2266o)<\/p>\n

Lol, clearly someone at Amiami’s storage just slapped the mail slip on without bothering to check if it’s straight or not. (\u15d2\u15ca\u15d5)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Yay, a new card!! \u30fc( \u00b4 \u25bd ` )\uff89 The “Will I ever get a non-bent card” saga continues… (\uff65\u2200\uff65\uff1b)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
After digging through A LOT of paper, I finally see the actual items! I was confused for a while ’cause that bag of neemo clothes & futons kinda looked like a BJD wig at a quick glance, haha~<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
The One Piece figure is Yenna’s and the rest are mine: two little alpaca plushies and Little Briar Rose Lien + a bunch of neemo stuff from Azone~<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
FINALLY I was able to snatch a beige kitty hood muffler when they restocked them, yaaay!! \u0669(\u02ca\u15dc\u02cb*)\u0648 I’m selling the other ivory one because I don’t need two ivory ones. AND ALSO – kyuudou set~! (\u256f\u2727\u2207\u2727)\u256f\u2665<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Because alpacas!!! \uff2f(\u2267\u2207\u2266)\uff2f The white one I bought from Desucon Frostbite earlier this year. He was lonely so I thought that he needs friends, and these two little fellas were so cute that I had to bring them home… someday I’d like one biiiig alpaca, as well! \u2665<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Now onto the main highlight: Little Briar Rose Lien!! \u30fe(\u2267\u222a\u2266*)\u30ce\u3003\u2665 \u2665 \u2665 I’ve been waiting for her so excitedly after seeing all the gooorgeous owner photos on twitter and flickr~ (\uff89\u2267\u2200\u2266)\uff89 I didn’t have the patience to photograph her box, she seemed to be in an uncomfortable position anyway so I wanted to set her free, haha!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Yay, new dolly manual with Sahra on the cover! \u30fe(\uff61\uff65\u03c9\uff65)\uff7c I still got the older version that has Miu’s photo with my BlackxPink Yuzuha. I really love Lien’s leaflet, I wish the box would’ve been dark coloured like this… makes me think of those old books in the library, so fancy~ (\u00b4 \u25bd\uff40).\u3002\uff4f\u2661<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
I photographed the leaflet because I thought that I could provide a translation of the story. Some kanji practise for a change, haha~ \uff08\u3000\u00b4\u2200\uff40\uff09<\/p>\n

Sleeping beauty<\/strong><\/p>\n

A long time ago,
\nin a deep, deep forest
\nin a big, big castle,
\nlived a beautiful princess<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One day, an evil witch cast a spell on the princess
\nthe princess fell in a deep sleep<\/p>\n

a 100 years passed<\/p>\n

a prince reached the princess, who continued to sleep deeply within the castle surrounded by roses<\/p>\n

the prince stroked the sleeping princess’ hair and slowly her eyelids opened<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

“Who was it that lifted the spell… ?”<\/p>\n

the Sleeping Beauty who had awakened from her long sleep smiled happily<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And so, the princess lived happily ever after<\/p>\n

The end<\/em><\/p>\n

I’m sorry for any possible mistakes in the translation, I had a hard time figuring out this font, ahah… (\uff65\u2200\uff65\uff1b)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I took a test shot of her in between~ I really, really love her outfit, it’s so beautiful and full of details! (\uff61\u2019\u25bd\u2019\uff61)\u2661 And that traaaain! I have such a weakness for dresses with trains~ (\u00b4\u2200\uff40)\u2661<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Then I undressed her because I wanted to take a closer look at each piece. I love everything about this set, it’s just gorgeous! \u2665 Silver Butterfly really outdid themselves when designing this dress~ (\u0e51>\u1d17<\u0e51) \u2665 \u2665 \u2665<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
I tried the skirt and corset on a M-size body (Lien comes with S-size). It’s a veeeery tight fit and the velcro doesn’t really want to close… needless to say, there’s no hope of getting this on the LL-bust. (-\u2200-`; )<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Attaching the train was a bit of a challenge because the other halves of the snaps were too far apart as the velcro doesn’t close all the way… but eventually I managed to squeeze the corset a tiny bit more so that the snaps attached, ahah… but yeah, it’s a much better fit on the S-type body, I don’t recommend putting it on the bigger girls.\u00a0(( \u00b4\u2200`;))<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
I tried some casual pieces with her skirt and socks… she makes a cute kitty, eheh~ \u30fd(*\u2267\u03c9\u2266)\uff89 Even in a more casual look, she’s still frilly. I don’t have that many neemos with a frilly style, so this is all fine and dandy~ (\u2267\u2200\u2266)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
I decided to put the default dress back on, because it’s sooooo pretty! \u03c3(\u2267\u03b5\u2266\uff4f) \u2665 \u2665 \u2665 I really love the light green eyes, even though usually I’m not a big fan of green eyes with lighter coloured hair. She has such a warm smile~ \uff08*\u00b4\u25bd\uff40*\uff09\u2665<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Sooo prettyyyy~! \u30fe(o\u2267\u2200\u2266o)\uff89\uff9e \u2665 \u2665 \u2665<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
She’s definitely my favourite Lien now! Everything about her is perfect~ \u30fe(\uff61^\u03c9^\uff61)\u30ce \u2665 I didn’t really feel the need to bring home a Lien (although I admit I really like Majokko Lien 1.1 ver.) until this release of her came along. I just knew that I HAD to have her! \u2570(\u00a0\uff65 \u15dc \uff65\u00a0)\u256f<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I decided to name her Ayana, because as I looked at her, I thought that she should have a name that starts with an A. And Ayana is (or at least used to be) part of I’ve Sound, and I adore the I’ve girls so I decided to choose the name Ayana as a small tribute. The kanji for her name is \u5f69\u6e1a, the first one can be read as “colouring, paint, make up” and the latter is for “beach, shore, water’s edge”. Soo the name’s meaning could be something like “coloured shore”. It makes me think of a sunset at the beach and how the colourful sky reflects on the water and the waves sparkle as they hit the shore… and she’s such a beautiful doll that I think it’s a lovely name for her. (\u00b4\u2200`)<\/p>\n

I’m soo happy to have this girl home, I’m completely in love with her!! o(\u00b4\u2200\uff40*) She’s just as beautiful as I thought that she’d be~ \u2665<\/p>\n

Lastly, I’ll link some songs by the singer Ayana here:<\/p>\n
