PUDDLE 2011

[DeLightfulfreak]

I had a SUPER AMAZING TIME at PUDDLE this year. I got to meet Trillian, Vanie, and a few others there.

Guys feel free to add on to this post!


The Cool Kids Table. Trillian, Babelglyph, Truefan, Ravenwcatz, Vanie, Zakuro/Matsuda, and I all sat here. Note that Three of Lara Jay's formerly owned dolls are reunited (Gabe, Pan, and Evie Crane )


Trillian's Silas looking so pimp.


My friend Matsuda/Zakuro took Commissions.

Here are some of her works:

Lark, Babelglyph's dal ciel


Ravenwcatz's Zephyr Pullip veritas


Pan my Paja :3


Myufish's Tsuru Custom for the raffle.


Tanchou the custom I worked on along with Requiem and Blaire_flair for the raffle. I put in three raffle tickets for her, but sadly did not win


Johanna another raffle doll done by Mioshu


Puddles, the ever so lusted after custom doll by Requiem.





Whoopie, modified lala also being raffled.


The last raffled off doll.


Other raffle prizes


Finn (Vanie's), Smokey(Vanie's), and Mori (mine).




Smokey and Mori. Mori looks like such a CamHam in this photo XD


Silas making teh moves on Lola.


Finn and my new boy, Austin/Aniki.


Moar Finn <3


Mori being obnoxious.


Jail Bait! Roxanne wanted to "get some" from Silas, hoping he'd reciprocate...but he wasn't really interested XD


Oryx, she's so beautiful <3


My friend Ravenwcatz dressed up like Melissa and I told her to pose with our boys. XD




Vanie's adorable little Lizabel <3


Truefan dressed up like Lunatic Alice


All of the dress like your doll contestants.


Mandee dressed up like Clara with her Chloi <3


Here is the young lady who is now the proud owner of Tanchou. I hope she takes very good care of her because I'm going to miss her a lot.


And this young girl put down a survey that made me laugh out loud.

And then after PUDDLE we went to dinner:




Babelglyph pouting because she wanted Miku


Oryx and Chance getting to know each other <3

Here are all the dolls I got at PUDDLE this year:

Santino/Frost, Austin/Aniki, Mini Paja, and Puddles.
Are you as surprised as I am?
:shock:

Thanks for looking!

More photos from me!

Getting ready to pack the car. It was a job getting all the PUDDLE stuff plus my suitcase and dolls in my Beetle!


Custom artwork in progress! She donated half her proceeds to our charity.




Group photo (there were a lot more people there, just not in the photo).


This was an accidental photo - not sure how it was taken - but it cracks me up. Wellermade's Byul is checking things out!


Entries from the photo/art contest.


Cute things for sale.


Dolls from PullipStyle, including the coveted Jouet!


We had no workshop later, so the workshop was an informal customizing Q&A.


Some of the custom and modified dolls on display.






Fan favorite judging in progress!


My custom Standard the Poodle (she is for sale!).


I loved Luna Lovegood.


Winky.


Raffle prize table.


Most of the Dals I brought along, plus MissMandyLynne's Jack, Ariel and Street.






Fun random table.


Dress-like-your-doll parade.


















I was actually double dressed-like-my doll. There was Lunatic Alice:


But my mini me Valancy was also dressed as Lunatic Alice (I did not wear the wig or eye patch most of the day).




Our super nice man at the check-in desk:


Eleven of us visited our charity, the Willowbrook Wildlife Center, on Sunday and got a behind-the-scenes tour. This is the Professor, a red-tailed hawk with a damaged shoulder.




Oddment ends the day by checking out the Center's sandhill cranes:
