Happy Blythe!

If you didn't do any research and would like to do some Blythe shopping in Hongkong, it will be for sure really frustrating. It's because Mongkok is probably the only place you can find any trace of Blythe. I mean there are Blythe in other places too but most likely you won't go to those places except you know it before hand.
Anyways, there I was at the CTMA Centre. There are a few Blythe official stores and some little toy stores which you can find almost everything. Some even carries Kozy, Goldie and custom Blythe from @nai San. The only one that I didn't see was Baby's Breath.It is also the home of many famous fashion makers like SugarMag, Milky Way and BHC. There are also many small sellers here and there in the basement floors.If you're planning to go there, be sure to go there late because most stores won't open until 4 pm.
Here's a little snap shot of part of my doll shopping. And yes, little Miss Ice Rune is a new member of my Blythe family. Her name is Selena. She is sooo gorgeous, especially in person. The snowy outfits that she came with is needless to say, simply too adorable.

Happy Thursday!

To a Perfect Date

Even though there are few more weeks to Valentine's Day, the romantic atmosphere is floating merrily inside the little mushroom quarter. Picking fabrics, trying out dresses, everything has to at least have some Valentine shade in it. Would this little dress fit for a lovely date? Hmm... we still have some time to decide. =)By the way, there's a wonderful article, plus lots of photos, on BlytheCon 2009 in the current issue of Haute Doll Magazine. Don't miss it! =)photo from Haute Doll Magazine

Happy Tuesday!

City that never sleeps III

The crawl game machine in Hongkong seemed to be more difficult than the ones in Japan. If not, I'd probably had go for this adorable ghostly Gloomy Bear.There were a lot of Japanese craft kits like this key chain kit in toy stores and department stores. I've seen similar ones on Etsy.I wish that Blythe would be as easy to be found as Barbie.
Happy Friday!

Happy New Year from Puchi

Greetings from Puchi!She has been talking a lot, even staff from the hotel told us that she tried to talk to them when they walked by. It is interesting and sometimes hilarious when she talks. She doesn't speak English of course but she makes all those sigh, excited, disappointed sound like we do.
This little corn was one of her birthday presents. It has been her favourite toy since then.

Happy Wednesday!

City that never sleeps II

Besides shopping, Hongkong is world famous for food and I wouldn't miss a chance to sample everything. From traditional preserved 'veggie' braised pork to international cusine, they were all delightful and prepared to perfection.

The chocolate pie was so-so. But the Double Filet-O-Fish was so awesome as you can probably imagine how good it is to double the filet! =)
Happy Tuesday!

Happy New Year and welcome to Hongkong!
It has changed quite a bit in the past years, the city is filled with many more new high-rise and many many more people. The extended subway system has made travel in town much easier. You can easily spend a day by simply wander around on any busy street, there are so many interesting things to see and so many good foods. Only if I have more time and more space in my stomach. =)
