New momoko doll - Lazy Seventeen

My TW seller just sent me an email this morning about the new momoko doll released in mid nov 08 - Lazy Seventeen.

Her eyes have a nice shade of blue which I simply love. She is wearing skinny jean too. Wow, our dear momoko is keeping up with the fashion industry. Isn't that what she always does? Below are photos gotten for my tw dealer for sharing. According to him, the retail price is 12,800 yen. Let start saving...

Junie Moon Online Shopping is up

Finally Junie Moon Website is available for ordering and they started accepting pre-orders for Neo Veronica Lace, Petite Sally Rice, and Petite Mademoiselle Chocolat de Q-pot at 7.30pm (Japan time) today.

I placed my order for my Petite Mademoiselle Chocolat de Q-pot as soon as the ordering started. Now still waiting for the confirmation email from them. Just pray hard that I can get it.

Neo Blythe "Princess Milk BisQuit de Q-pot"

Just read from the offical blythe website that they are releasing a new neo blythe with Q-pot - Princess Milk BisQuit. Even the name sounds tasty. Hahaha...

This photo was taken from Blythe official website. It shows Madam Choco holding on to Princess Milk BisQuit's accessories. The milk crown is simply CUTE and YUMMY...

Petite Blythe "Mademoiselle Chocolat de Q-pot

Pre-order for Mademoiselle chocolate de Q-Pot pettie blythe started on 14 Oct 2006. And I managed to order for her online, but it turned out that there was a problem with the Junie Moon online and all orders processed during the period of 14 Oct to 20 Oct 08 were cancelled.

I emailed Junie Moon and was notified that the reason was due to the shipping issue. It seems that the orders were processed without shipping fee for those who ordered successfully on the 14th Oct 08. I guess we just need to wait for their system to be up again.

My Nov Japan Trip is postponed

Yes, my nov trip was cancelled. The recent increase in the Yen currency make the intended expenses for my Japan Trip much more expensive than what me and my friends originally planned for. This coupled with the likelihood of a cut in the year end bonus with coming of the recession made us re-think our nov trip to Japan. After much consideration, we decided to postpone the trip to next year and hopefully by then everything is back to normal again...

Q-pot look-a-like found in Strapya World

Strapya world has q-pot look alike cell phone accessories and of course at a much more affordable price, but not as "Glam" as q-pot.

Q-pot is "hot" in Japan

You may wonder what is Q-Pot. Q-pot is a Japanese based shop selling jewelry and accessories that look like foods, and dessert. Not only the jewelry and accessories look yummy, they are also very beautiful.

The main shop is located in Harajuku and it is quite diffcult to find without help from those who went there previously. However, you can also purchase online from their website: http://shop.q-pot.jp/

They have collaboration with other companies to come up with special products, for example, they come up with a cholocate bar design I-pod skin. Recently, they are also having a joint collaboration with blythe to come up with a pettie blythe (photo below). It is going to be a limited edition one release in Oct 08. I am so looking forward to that and hopefully I can get one to add to my collection.

My visit to Meiji Shrine

Meiji Shrine is located in Shibuya, Tokyo. Since we are going to visit Harajuku in the afternoon for more shopping in Tokyo, we decided to drop by the shrine in the morning to make full use of our time. Going there is easy, we just need to take a train from Shinjuku where our hotel is located to Meiji-jingumae Sation.

The shrine is located in a forest and it was a long walk into the forest before we actually reach the shrine. I was expecting myself to be sweaty after the walk in the forest, but it turns out to be a totally "unsweaty" one. Hahaha, forests in Japan are not humid like those we have in Singapore and it was rather an enjoyable walk through the forest

Instruction on how to clease ourselves before entering the shrine to pray (Below)

Barrels of sale (nihonshu) donated to the Meiji Shrine that we saw on the way to the shrine (Below)

That's all for now. I would post more photos in my next entry.
