Christmas WishList

Journal Entry: Sun Dec 11, 2011, 8:45 PM
Taken from :iconcatzilerella:

Step 1
Make a post in your deviant art journal. The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related ("I'd love a Snape/Hermione icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV.") The important
thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.
If you wish for real-life things (not fics or icons), make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you.

Step 2.
Surf around your friends list (or friend's friends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list. And now here's the important part:
If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use--or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free--do it.
You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf--to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call.
There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just... wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.

Step 3. The List
At the holiday parade I went to on the 1st - several kids were given a chance to speak into the microphone and tell Santa what it is they want for xmas. We went from pets, to dolls, to trainsets, but One little boy was so touching, he said, "well actually all I want for Xmas is a happy life" So Sweet! I just wanted to share that with everyone and follow in these little steps by saying

1. All I want for Xmas is to be happy, and be the best to make those I love most happier.

2. Monster High Fan Art of Keira and my OC's! ^^

3. Any My Little Ponies! ^^

4. Sailor Moon T-Shirt from Hot Topic! XL! Love me some Sailor Moon!

5. Solfbox for my flash for my photos! ^^

6. Lady Gaga Custom Monster High Doll!

7. Fan Mail sent by snail mail so I can read it and give it to Keira. She loves her fans from youtube! ^^

8. Monster High Custom Dolls of Keira and my OC's!

9. Premium Membership - I don't have mine for too long.

10. The most expensive thing I want is Moe Version 2 Dollfie Dream <Yeah I know. Dream on! <_< lol >


I hope everyone has a wonderful Holiday season!

God Bless

Monster High Art Contest Reminder

Journal Entry: Sun Nov 27, 2011, 5:53 PM
Just a reminder to those who are participating in my Monster High Art Contest on youtube! December 1st is around the corner so remember to get your entries in ASAP! ^^

Here is the video  [link] and be sure to read the description as youtube did something funky to the sound.

Here is the description of the contest for those who don't want to visit youtube.


How to Enter/ Rules:
Contest open to anyone 13 and older as that is the age requirement for youtube. Must have parent's written permission to enter contest for ages 13 - 17.  The contest is open to everyone around the world. The winner is required to provide real name, address and phone number for the doll to be shipped to them. This information will never be shared with anyone and will be deleted once I mail her to you. The winner will be contacted through youtube or email if one is supplied. If nothing is heard after 14 days then the winner forfeits the prize and it will be given to someone else which the same rule will apply until a winner is reached. One entry per person. To qualify you must be a subscriber of ours. DO NOT SEND ME YOUR ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER UNLESS YOU ARE CONTACTED BY ME STATING YOU ARE THE WINNER!

What to do: Art Contest

Draw Keira and me AS a Monster High Character. You have to draw us both. So two is required. Can be together on one page or on two separate pages. You can do this by old fashion on paper or on a computer or both. Both take skill and time and both will be accepted. When I mean character I mean a made up one and not draw us as Abbey or something. Be creative.

ANY ONE ATTACKING OTHER CONTESTANT'S ART IN ANY WAY WILL BE DISQUALIFIED! IT IS RUDE AND UNCALLED FOR!

ANYONE LYING ABOUT THEIR AGE WILL BE DISQUALIFIED!

(Some of you got confused but we don't want you to draw us a character from Monster High we want you to draw Keira and me as  our own made up characters.)

Best One wins: Brand New Spectra Vondergeist Doll.

Contest Ends: December 1st.

Winner Will be Announce on the 1st or the 2nd of Dec.

You can Post the link to your Art in the comments below, message it to us, or post it in a video and reply to this video with it. If you have your art on deviant just post a link to it in the comments below! Thanks!

Art must be a completed drawing that is COLORED. You may also complete it digitally.  It must be YOURS completely. Do not submit other peoples work or OC's. It MUST favor Keira and me. Already completed Art prior to this contest will not be accepted as it wouldn't pertain to Keira and me.  Like submitting art you have done and just calling the girl in it Keira or just calling her me. That will not work and will not be accepted. It's not fair, it's laziness, and they don't look like like us since they were already drawn prior to this. If caught using other peoples work, you will be disqualified and won't be able to participate in my next contest.

Drawings can be as detailed as you want them to be. As long as Keira and Me are in it. We don't care what you draw us wearing but Keira likes pink! ^^ We also do not care what type of monsters you make us, this is the exciting part so get creative. ^^ We want to see what monsters you will draw us as. ^^

Once submitting your art to our contest, you give us the right to use it on our youtube page and/or other corresponding sites with credit.

The winner's Art will be our image girls for our youtube! ^^

If you have any questions, please message me.

(Send parent permission slips to: themonsterhighdolls@gmail.com) It needs to include your real name saying that they give you permission to participate in my contest and then sign and dated by them. ^^ Oh and also put your youtube username so I know who you are! ^^


(For those emailing me your photos and sending me links to your photos, I will be compiling them to make video of all the entries.)

P.S.

I already received some messages complaining about the age limit and I should say that is you are not 13 and on youtube then you are on here against youtubes rules and you know that and you see that when you signed up. Even if your on your parents account, it is still against youtubes rules as you must be 13 to be on youtube. I apologize for the inconvenience this may cause but I follow the rules and expect my followers to do the same. I do not want to get into trouble nor do I want the underage peeps to get into trouble as well. It covers us all. ^^

Super Busy

Journal Entry: Sun Oct 2, 2011, 10:54 PM



I don't write as much as I wish but really nothing has been new. I guess I can tell you a little what I have been doing and what I will be looking to do in the future. Some of you know me as themonsterhighdolls on youtube for reviews and I will still be doing that along with the help of my daughter Keira which sometimes she likes to do it and sometimes she doesn't. So I don't make her, only when she wants is when we do a review. If I am reviewing a doll or something like that then she isn't in it. I have several photos of her to go through and add still. Keira as Draculaura and Frankie Stein.

I got in the costumes from party city but as I was afraid they are a little too big on her so my reviews will have to be with out her wearing them.

Recently my adsense had been cut off from there so Sara is trying to get and an account to use. Why it was cut off, we still don't know as we never got an email from them and still haven't and it has been since the 28th.  Sucks that they don't have any customer service for help.

Though what I have been working on is restoring my old Keiko Kitagawa fansite along with my Ayaka Komatsu fansite and getting Rika Izumi's fansite back up to date. Those are all really a lot of work and take up most of my time. It won't for long as once they are back up to par then just regular updates will keep them going.

As far as my photography, I am looking into different lighting to get. I am new at the lighting thing so I am researching. I am getting a small cube for my doll photography but for my cosplay and regular photography is the hard part.

I started off with a crash course on Japanese but had to put is on hold for about two more weeks. Until I get those sites caught up. It wouldn't be so bad but I have this new class in school that takes up a lot of time as well. :(

Now a couple future things is Izumicon is coming in November which is exciting. I can not wait and already have a list of cosplayers lined up that I am pretty much booked. I don't want to overwhelm my self with bookings as there are cosplayers I do like to have photos of and events I want to attend. I am also going to run a photography panel (maybe) if Sara goes along with me. Running it alone is kind of scary but I can do it. So if anyone going wants to help, let me know so when they give me they okay, I will say yes.

Also another project to work on is my photography site. Since Ayaka502.net fansite is back, my photography site and name is gone... :P The sacrifice I am willing to do for all the peeps who wanted it back! ^^ So re-naming is in order and so is a completion of a whole new site. What sucks is my facebook page won't let me change the name. So I just might keep it and buy a .org domain or ayaka502photography.com domain. Just an idea. lol

I hope to this kind of explains a little of what I am doing but I do take time for shoots here and there. If I can talk Sara into coming over, I could have her model for me. lol

Journal Entry: Wed Aug 24, 2011, 1:06 PM



It feels like forever since I last wrote in my journal about anything. Not really anything has been going on with me. Very boring really. Just been taking photos of my dolls, kids, and my animals. As you can tell by some of my recent photos. I noticed a ton of new watcher and I wanted to take you for watch! Well I guess this is it for now. When something interesting comes along, I shall report it! ^^

Well I been depressed lately as some of you are aware that my mother had recently passed away due to cancer. I been so busy and funds are tight at the moment that I couldn't go to see all of my friends at Tokyo in Tulsa. I know see you guys would have cheered me up a little. Seeing all the photos on facebook make me miss you more! Though I have been sitting at home searching through the internet and trying to catch up on homework has been my main thing. I have had a chance to upload a few photos here and there from shoots I did a while ago of my dolls.  I just may go to Afest since I missed out on TNT. I am excited though, as next year I am planning to go to the San Diego Comic Con with my family and to visit California beaches!! We need some time away, I tell you. I have a ton of dolls I am expecting to get in that I got a while back. They are coming for Japan and a couple cheap Monster High dolls I found. ^^  I do keep a list of dolls I have pre ordered and/or waiting to get along with a special wish list on flickr! I have these for myself and people ask me what dolls I am getting soon so I keep both kinds.

My Waiting to get in the mail / pre order list: [link]
Wish List: [link]

I know, I want a lot. I like buying dolls, wigs, and camera stuff! I like cosplaying but don't have the time to make stuff plus I am in the middle of losing weight which 30lbs has been lost so far! I rather take photos as well I love to do it! ^^


Like I said depending on a few factors I may go to Afest and I still going to Izumicon! ^^     So for those who I miss at TNT, I am truly sorry and feel really bad. I hope you guys had fun.

I been thinking of making a different account just for my monster high doll photography since I do it a lot. I figure I will keep what I have uploaded so far on this account and just start with my newest photos there. What do you think? I figure all my cosplay friends don't want to see a bunch of dolls and just cosplay. lol


Other news about Tokyo in Tulsa coming soon! ^^


Also I will let you guys know when and if I make another account. ^^

Well I have been uploading photos from A-Kon and I was really disappointed that I didn't come across a Tron cosplayer. There may have been one there but I didn't see them. I did get a lot of great photos but I wish I could have got more. ^^

Well A-Kon is around the corner and there for a while I wasn't so sure I would be able to attend because of my mother(nana). I am adopted by her. Anyways I am still determined to go and have no one set up for photo shoots during that time and I really do need the practice. I plan on going to some group photo shoots but I like more of the one on one types or small groups. So if you are going to the A-Kon this year, please let me know as I want you to help me help you. ^^ Help me with my practice and you get free photos! ^^ It won't take up your time, plus I am free most of the time there! ^^

Okay I really didn't think I would create one but for a contest I entered I came up with a Character.

Introducing:

Swamptra (Copy right to me.. No taking!) the daughter of Swamp Thing. ^^ I am still in the works of how she will look and of course. I might create one more. Though, I haven't been around seeing many OC's so I couldn't tell you if one was done on Swamp Thing but I have done it anyways. I will have a BIO for her soon and once I can get her style down.. an OC doll just may come along... ^^

At this point all conventions still look like a go but I am trying my hardest to keep on track. I added some Monster High Scrap photos for fillers until I can get more Cosplay and other types of photos.  I am still really busy as we are preparing to move along with tons of other things. There is a new line of Monster High dolls coming out that I will be collecting. So exciting. It has been a while since I really photographed anything and I sure am longing to do it again. I miss it. Maybe if I get time I can get a shoot of some of something.

Sorry for the lack of updates but to make a long story short...

My Nana has cancer... Been taking care of her..

Now I am in the middle of mass selling and shipping and packing to move...

I will honestly try and fit a few photos in here and there but no guarantees at the moment.

People learn your damn history about Pearl Harbor! We nuked Nagasaki and Hiroshima and did a hell of a lot of damage back to them like killing over 200,000 people and took over their army. When they attacked Pearl Harbor they killed around 2500 or so. Pearl Harbor is not a legitimate reason to hate on Japan.  ~Just makes you look like morons.~ Last time I checked, since when is ever OKAY to cheer for someone's death when they have done nothing wrong and can not do anything to stop it? Pearl Harbor was like 70 years ago. Get over yourself and get an education! If you are Christians talking about GOD, GOD is NOT revengeful and in the bible he says you must forgive to be forgiven. So using GOD and an excuse makes your position as a "so called Christian" non existent. God loves and does not hate!

Karma is not tool to use either.. Are you going to say "karma" when a nuclear meltdown actually happens and it affects the whole world? Darn didn't think of that did you?

So guess what it already has effected the whole world or do you not realize that? Everything is going to jack prices up! Japan was moved 8 feet and the earth axis 4 inches. That a lot and can cause problems in the future.

Also you say, we should use the money on ourselves to help are own country. Well there you go again you greedy bastards. We may need money but what you don't realize is if we don't help them, then the economy will be horrible or worse then it is now from the disaster. The faster we get Japan back on their feet the faster the economy will be normal again. It is NEVER okay to leave people dying when you can help them. I love Japan and NO ONE deserves what happened to them. Geez think about things before flapping you stupid mouths off!

Is this where you want to be when Jesus comes back?

I am always changing my mind it seems but I guess it doesn't matter as usually it only affects me most of the time. Instead of a 60d camera, I now want a Canon T3i. It's not as good at the 60d but it is something that I can work with better. I feel that I am still at the amateur level of my photography and I feel that the Canon 60D is just way to advanced for me at this time. Once I learn more then I can see upgrading to that type of mid-line camera. So I found that the T3i is comparable to the 60D in ways. They both have 18 megapixels resolution. (Beat the 10 I have now.) and flip screens along with a few other features. Plus it is cheaper then the 60D. So I been selling my Sailor Moon dolls to gather up the money for it. I already have lens that will work with it so the body is what I will get. ^^

I got a Canon Powershot SX210 to use as a regular take anywhere camera. When I go some where with my kids, I hate bringing out the big camera. People look like they want to mug me and its in the way. I have to wear it around my neck and it gets heavy! I learned that at Celebration Station. lol Plus my daughter would walk in front of me and it would bonk her in the head if she was too close. Plus I can't take it in to concerts. :( So I got me a little camera that packs a punch for all those non professional photo times and events. ^^

In other news, I been looking for my Nana a little puppy to cheer her up. We have been going through a lot lately and her heath is been declining so I know she has been wanting a small puppy like a yorkie, maltese, or a tea cup poodle. I searched some but puppies off any bread are real expensive. I am like, I want this kind of puppy under 10lbs (can't be bigger as nana can't lift over 10lbs) don't need papers because it isn't going to be used to breed or to enter contest and they are like, 1200 bucks dude..  Woa!! That's crazy! Why and the heck does someone need to charge that much for a non registered puppy? Because then it would be like any regular dog out there.  The cheapest that I have came across is $275 for a non registered puppy and they said its that much because "we have so much invested in them." So they are basically charging you for them to take care of them since they were born. I can understand that one some what. I don't think they invested 275.00 on each puppy being less then 8 weeks old. Then again you never know.. I have two dogs and they never cost me that much in that length of time. Oh well it's their puppies they can charge what they won't I suppose.

Getting back to my Sailor Moon dolls sale. I started by selling them on livejournal to avoid those stupid ebay fees but ultimately had to take it down the next day. I put them on ebay now. I am really not sure what the heck was wrong with some of those people but boy they got mean and rude. They even stooped so low by calling my Sailor Moon dolls in the original boxes and my sailor moon alarm clock by bandai bootleg. Crazy huh? Then they bitched about the prices. Geez I am not stupid and I am not mean and jack up prices. I have a system I go by to be fair for me and them. I honestly don't know what their problem was. I didn't have problems before sale on livejournal. I guess they want them at cheap prices and not pay what their worth. Calling them bootleg was ridiculous I thought. They are clearly not bootleg. lol Some Sailor Moon collectors just don't want to pay the worth an try too be cheap as possible. I get quotes at really cheap prices. Which makes me "grrr" because they know that it is worth more and if it was them selling it, I can see them jacking up the prices way beyond the going rates. I just try to be fair and go by the going rates on ebay and compare that to what I originally paid for the dolls.


I also find it funny when they try to use yahoo Japan auctions to compare prices with. I find it funny because a $30.00 doll isn't really $30.00 to you. You have to pay shipping within Japan then to yourself along with all those deputy service fees. Customers know this and still try. Though I see what they mean but that is usually for people in Japan. Also when they use that as an example they say there "was/were" an auction and it was going for this rate. It's not that I think everyone is lying to me because I do think some are being honest but most of the time they are not when they can not show me the auction in question. Then it makes me wonder why they just didn't get it there in the first place since they don't like my price? To avoid the fees packed on them I would think. Like I said, some collectors are cheap. You should know if you are going to start collecting anything Sailor Moon, it isn't going to be cheap unless it was a common item that everyone has readily available or it is a piece of crap. Sailor Moon collecting is an expensive hobby. I spend a hell of a lot on dolls when I started collecting several years ago.
