New doll diorama is up! This one took a while because there are lots of props, plus I had to decide on the perfect design. :D

Have you ever been to a themed cafe? They're very common in Japan, ranging from anime to video games to role play. Some are permanent, others are pop up (temporary). The interiors are always completely decorated in the theme, and the food is also designed in accordance with the theme. Most of these places also have gift shops where you can purchase exclusive items ranging from stationary to clothes to figures to plushies, all revolving around the cafe's theme. So fun!

I tend to always do things in themes, so this was right up my alley. I just knew I wanted to make my own Japanese themed cafe diorama. There is no shortage of options, but I decided on a Gudetama cafe. Gudetama is a Sanrio character, and his name literally means "lazy egg." This adorable little egg can be seen in a variety of scenarios, usually being prodded to not be lazy. It's quite amusing! I looked up actual Gudetama cafes so I could make my design as authentic as possible. Almost all of them featured bright yellow walls in a variety of patterns with huge wall decals of the star character on them. Smaller wall art was also common, and the wood floors even had a yellowish hue to them to finish off the look. Statues and figures were also prominent, so I placed a white cube shelf in the scene to hold some of my mini Gudetama items I've had for a long time (didn't even have to buy new stuff for this scene!), as well as the menus and place mats that I made. I also painted all the chairs yellow (they were originally purple) and painted the table base white (they were pink). The booth is borrowed from the Licca-chan revolving sushi set.

So here we have a group of dolls enjoying the themed goodies! All the food items are from Re-Ment, and the sets included a lot more - I just couldn't fit any more dolls in there LOL. And of course, this being Japanese themed, I had to use my Azone dolls. They're a better fit for these chairs and tables anyway since they're not as tall as Barbie, so they fit her size furniture better than she does LOL. Plus - interchangeable hands! YES!

It’s been ages since I’ve posted any pure neemo photos, so here are some I took last month. I put one of those new Pureneemo2 Emotion bodies on Aika and I have mixed thoughts. I like some of the poses she can do and the new wrist joints, but aesthetically I don’t like it at all - it’s far too skinny. It bothers me that the clothes originally made for pure neemo S size are baggy on Emotion S size.

Anyway that is a red velvet latte in the last pic.

Two years after buying Secret Wonderland Aika, I’ve finally ordered her an Azone Emotion body elgjkr3jngkjr Aika and Lien have been floating heads in drawers for years I’m so glad they’ll finally be of use to me! Waiting for Azone to come out with the Emotion M body in the ‘flesh’ tone for my Little Witch Mia (but she already has a body so she can wait), for some reason it looks like they only made it in WS

It's back to school time! I'm joining Monday 4 Dolls on Instagram with that theme! I had to go Japanese lol

How cute is this Azone International desk? It's a perfect scale model of the desks you see in Japanese schools and in a vast majority of anime. It even has a little hook on the side for a school bag! Gluing that was super fun. It said on the box to use plastic cement, and I tried some other things first, but nothing held. So it was my first time using plastic cement, but it worked great!

Why is there a chalkboard at the back of the room? Because it's common for more than one chalkboard to be used in a Japanese classroom - the one at the front is for teaching and learning while others, usually in the back, are for notes like cleaning and lunch duties, or even drawings done during downtime. Looks like this room has some talented students!

And of course Japanese students wear uniforms, and those shoes Aika is wearing are specifically designed to only be worn indoors. Students have shoe lockers to swap between their indoor and outdoor shoes.

Aika is working, but she occasionally drifts off and stares out the window... probably ready for the school day to be over lol

This ends today's lesson, also fitting for this theme!
