<p>The other day my Yoko got a sweet present, but first she wanted to show you her newest snack. She got some Shaved ice! Perfect for those hot summer days when all you want to do is lounge around the house in your underwear!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3098/5855608203_7e466c9a83_o.jpg" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm4.static.flickr.com/3098/5855608203_7e466c9a83_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3098/5855608203_0eb7998a8b_b.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>Sweet Yoko looks so adorable in this blonde wig, This girl is so cute that most any color wig looks amazing on her!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3050/5856163898_0492ccbd90_o.jpg" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm4.static.flickr.com/3050/5856163898_0492ccbd90_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3050/5856163898_39bb0ec5cb_b.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>I&#8217;m also really happy with this Shimapan undies from Volks, I had originally tried the Lbust on her and they fit just fine but didn&#8217;t end up getting them till later when I found out they had them for the Dynamite Body. Was also going to get the pink but I felt that the Classic Blue was perfect!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3120/5855610827_a00d6d9319_o.jpg" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm4.static.flickr.com/3120/5855610827_a00d6d9319_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3120/5855610827_ba9f0e2bd6_b.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>Yoko also got her own Dakimakura the other day! A friend of mine has this Pen Cushion in his car and I saw it and gasped since it&#8217;s the PERFECT size for Yoko he gave it to me to give to Yoko. I spoil this girl rotten!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3282/5856161062_ce6c336f51_o.jpg" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm4.static.flickr.com/3282/5856161062_ce6c336f51_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3282/5856161062_78b87e974a_b.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>She does love her Dakimakura but does insist she wants one of<a href="http://www.howagirlfigures.com/2008/10/14/my-kamina-dakimakura/" target="_blank"> Kamina like the one I have for myself</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2634/5855609965_4bfebecb25_o.jpg" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm3.static.flickr.com/2634/5855609965_4bfebecb25_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2634/5855609965_4c96e1387d_b.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>You can find Licensed Pen Cushions online and they are these Mini Dakimakuras that are PERFECT for your DD! Not all of them are as pervy as Yokos but she doesn&#8217;t seem to mind at all! My friend told me he got his from the Manga Gamer booth at Anime Expo last year, they&#8217;ll be there again this year so I&#8217;ll be sure to stop by and see if I can get another one for my Yoko!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.anime-expo.org/ax-live/" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.anime-expo.org/ax-live/?referer=');">AX Live</a>! Every <strong>Thursday</strong> at 7pm PST!

<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5163/5261993941_43a08b21d8_o.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm6.static.flickr.com/5163/5261993941_43a08b21d8_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5163/5261993941_4524df8b9b.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>As you may have seen  my room was recently featured not only on <a href="http://www.dannychoo.com/post/en/25950/Otaku+Girl.html" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.dannychoo.com/post/en/25950/Otaku+Girl.html?referer=');">Dannychoo.com</a> but also on Culture Japan! That makes me Super Duper Excited! I figured Danny was awesome in posting these pictures but who else to give you the guided tour but me!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5164/5261994861_5e12a13f99_o.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm6.static.flickr.com/5164/5261994861_5e12a13f99_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5164/5261994861_22465f1407.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>Ok first off, I&#8217;m gonna tell you the truth&#8230; IT&#8217;S NEVER THIS CLEAN! I&#8217;m so your typical otaku and sadly a bit of a slob, there normally is a huge hamper overflowing with clothes, and the bed usually has either clean clothes that needs to be put away, my purse, laptop and more.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5246/5262604354_58e48ef072_o.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm6.static.flickr.com/5246/5262604354_58e48ef072_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5246/5262604354_09028b0332.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>This little bench is a new addition to my room and I adore it, mainly since all these plushies used to sit on the bed and when I went to sleep they&#8217;d go on the floor. Now why did it suck having top put them on the floor? Because then I&#8217;d be too lazy to do my bed and put them back on so I&#8217;d have a huge pile of plushies and pillows on the floor for weeks. This way now I just move the Dakimakuras over to the side of sit them on my chair and I&#8217;m good to go!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5241/5262606656_3e55d07d44_o.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm6.static.flickr.com/5241/5262606656_3e55d07d44_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5241/5262606656_2a1109df5d_b.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>Good thing some friends didn&#8217;t see these pictures before hand, on the very top the blue box and Azunyan were Christmas gifts that I hadn&#8217;t wrapped yet! Also some remnants of my messy room on the book case with random crap all around the bookcase.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5207/5262607704_ff786f81bb_o.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm6.static.flickr.com/5207/5262607704_ff786f81bb_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5207/5262607704_9c5accba8c.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>The view from my desk of the rest of my room, you can&#8217;t see it but right outside the door is a lamp I need to throw out, like 15 pairs of shoes and tons of dirty clothes that needed washing, oh how I love the illusion that my room can be so clean! Now to just maintain it clean since I took these pictures, so far I&#8217;m doing a good job!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5043/5262001707_3df69f63a8_o.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm6.static.flickr.com/5043/5262001707_3df69f63a8_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5043/5262001707_36c55deced_b.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>These are figures that actually don&#8217;t fit in my case, I like to leave figures that are from the same series grouped together and they are all just a little too awkward to fit in any one of my cases, but yet I do like them on the wall.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5083/5262002679_9feafa97e6_o.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm6.static.flickr.com/5083/5262002679_9feafa97e6_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5083/5262002679_8ab678a024.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>My two figure cases, I do love them but neither are the best for figures. What I&#8217;d truly love would be a proper glass curio cabinet. The detolf has too much wasted space for 1/8th scale figures and the other one with it&#8217;s dark color and only have glass on the front makes some figures seem hidden in the background. But you take what you can get! As well as much as i adore my closet door covered in posters I&#8217;d rather have them be Mirrors so I can then remove a stand up mirror and replace it with yet another Detolf for incoming figures!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5044/5262003515_c9e09f1e28_o.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm6.static.flickr.com/5044/5262003515_c9e09f1e28_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5044/5262003515_b2f2b01e30.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>Top of the case has more plushies and other knickknacks I&#8217;ve collected, some adorable piggies my aunt bought for me, my steampunk goggles, my old camera body for the Canon Rebel XSi, plenty more Disney Plushes, a few lenses, and a lamp.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5249/5262612764_f847cbc95b_o.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm6.static.flickr.com/5249/5262612764_f847cbc95b_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5249/5262612764_8030632ffb.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>You can&#8217;t see it well here but the flag is signed by the character designer for Gurren Lagann and the director. I sadly didn&#8217;t get to get it signed by Konish this year at Anime Expo since I ended up being a little busy :&#8217;(. One day I&#8217;ll get it signed!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5286/5262613600_489e840188_o.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm6.static.flickr.com/5286/5262613600_489e840188_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5286/5262613600_6903e335e7.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>My small but slowly growing movie/anime collection. It contains mostly Disney Movies as I&#8217;m trying to collect every Disney animated Feature, I even have Song of the South, sadly a Chinese bootleg since it was never released to home video since it was deemed too racist. I however love it since an old family friend&#8217;s father who I grew p with would sing the songs from the film and it brings back good memories for me. Little known Disney fact is that Splash Mountain is based of the film Song of the South.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5002/5262017367_63b1c817dc_o.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm6.static.flickr.com/5002/5262017367_63b1c817dc_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5002/5262017367_7dd36319e2_b.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>I have a few plushies here as well, I&#8217;m very picky when it comes to pluhies but still love them, sadly many are bootlegs.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5081/5262019221_d525a8709c_o.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm6.static.flickr.com/5081/5262019221_d525a8709c_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5081/5262019221_6b26f3c089_b.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>Dollfie Yoko, we all know i finally got my hands on her but sadly she won&#8217;t be in her default outfit for a while. I was warned it would stain and it did. Going to start to process of stain removal but at least now she&#8217;s in a white dress that hopefully won&#8217;t stain.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5042/5262628148_c18f4be96d_o.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm6.static.flickr.com/5042/5262628148_c18f4be96d_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5042/5262628148_f6fb7a57cf.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>You can see all the mess under my small photo studio. It&#8217;s filled with papers for backgrounds, props and camera equipment.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5249/5262021261_e3bdbab3e9_o.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm6.static.flickr.com/5249/5262021261_e3bdbab3e9_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5249/5262021261_da7346262c_b.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>My desk, again normally not this neat. Even as I type this I have a few soda cans, some business cards, scissors and more. If asked what would my New Year Resolution would be? It would be to make sure I post more often here, and it would be to make sure my room looks this clean! I&#8217;ll do my best! Also last Wednesday we aired the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_w3c3I4PSAk#t=36m30s" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.youtube.com/watch?v=_w3c3I4PSAk_t=36m30s&amp;referer=');">Official Trailer for Toybox on AX Live</a>!

<p>I&#8217;ve got some awesome friends! Just the other day hanging out with my musician buddies for a little jam session. Sadly I was just a tag along since I don&#8217;t play any instrument, it was awesome seeing everyone rock out on their Guitars and Harmonica. Some really cool guys! Well why do you wonder I bring up Otakus and rocking out and you see this image of two really awesome Dakimakuras? Simple They were Otakus!</p>
<p><span id="more-1637"></span>At least three of them for sure, one I just met and wasn&#8217;t 100% on but either  way! We had gone to a friend&#8217;s apartment, he&#8217;s a huge Saber fanboy, and he&#8217;s got some amazing figures as well! Didn&#8217;t take any pictures of his room, but maybe next time I will!</p>

<p>Here&#8217;s a little video i took of them jamming before my battery died on me <img src='http://www.howagirlfigures.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>Well again, back to these amazing Dakimakuras! My buddy Charles gave them to me! While he was showing off his anime room, I think he was a little caught off guard on how I&#8217;m not ashamed of Nude/Lude figures and I&#8217;m actually a huge fan of naughty anime figures! He showed me his amazing Saber Lily Dakimakura and I gushed over I how loved it so much and how I wish I had more than just my Kamina. He then proceeded to show me his entire Dakimakura collection and when I began drooling at seeing the adorable Nanoha and Feito pillow cases he handed them to me and said for me to keep them! Now i want to return the favor and I figure i&#8217;ll find something amazing that&#8217;s Saber related for him! Any ideas?</p>

<p>Ever wanted your own custom dakimakura? Ever had a favorite character that it seemed no one wanted to make enough merchandise for it? Or did you ever just want a dakimakura but not like the outrageous price? Then I&#8217;ve got the thing for you!</p>
<p><span id="more-280"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3023/2943588442_dff6ea702b_o.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been waiting so patiently and i finally got my Dakimakura! Took a bit of time but their were some problems with the actual factory but i got it in one piece and in great condition so i&#8217;ve got absolutely no complaints. When i <a href="http://www.howagirlfigures.com/2008/08/24/a-dakimakura-for-girls/" target="_blank">found out</a> about this seller who does custom dakimakuras I was a bit apprehensive. What if the quality is terrible? What if the picture looks bad on it? What if they are just out to rip me off? But in reality i was so wrong. The seller was so kind to me since i didn&#8217;t have an eBay account at the time and i couldn&#8217;t get one. we did the transaction outside of eBay but kept me updated about the status of my Dakimakura every step of the way. The overall quality of this dakimakura is astounding. I had seen some before and in all honesty i expected this one to be a bit bad, i expected it to be more like a regular pillow cover than a full fledged dakimakura. I was so blown away once i received it. It&#8217;s so soft and the quality of the image was not lost on the transfer at all. I know for a fact that I&#8217;m going to be purchasing more from this seller in the future and that this seller&#8217;s work is really quite the real deal.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3188/2943588676_12c552ea92_o.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></p>
<p>Another thing i was very impressed with was the zipper. I knew some dakimakuras come with zippers but i never expected this one to come with a zipper as well. I really do suggest you take a look through his <a href="http://stores.ebay.com/Takas-Dakimakura-Store" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/stores.ebay.com/Takas-Dakimakura-Store?referer=');">ebay store</a>, and take a look at the amazing products he carries. Not only does he have Dakimakuras but also <a href="http://stores.ebay.com/Takas-Dakimakura-Store_Anime-bedding-sheets_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZ198919016QQftidZ2QQtZkm" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/stores.ebay.com/Takas-Dakimakura-Store_Anime-bedding-sheets_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZ198919016QQftidZ2QQtZkm?referer=');">Bed sheets</a>. He does accept custom orders as well so just send him a message and he&#8217;ll contact you with all the information he&#8217;ll need for making a custom dakimakura for you as well. I love this Dakimakura and the overall quality, and price make it so worth it.</p>
<p><strong>UPDATE: Discounts will be given to buyers of Custom Dakimakuras</strong> who come from <strong>my site! </strong>just enter the code<strong> ESW10094238</strong> with your order and you&#8217;ll get $5 off single sided and $10 double sided Dakimakuras.</p>

<p>I&#8217;ve been wanting a Dakimakura for a long time now. But the hard part is that my parents are awesome and accepting of me collecting figures. They are fine with me having the one Full Metal Panic wall scroll with the two nude girls. But i honestly think they would get worried if i had a half naked girl laying on my bed&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-249"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img83.imageshack.us/img83/6969/sample98345e835cb04a938zw5.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>I have this as a wall scroll in my room and my mom was at first like &#8220;Why are they naked?&#8221; It&#8217;s kinda hard to explain open air baths to my mom and why it&#8217;s not porn but &#8220;art&#8221;</em></p>
<p>But i saw a post on Danny Choo from the member news that talks about <a href="http://www.dannychoo.com/detail/mac/eng/image/6639/Custom+Dakimakura.html" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.dannychoo.com/detail/mac/eng/image/6639/Custom+Dakimakura.html?referer=');">Custom Dakimakuras</a>. Now thats is something i&#8217;ve been <a href="http://www.howagirlfigures.com/2008/04/02/masa-san-3/">interested in</a> for a while now. So i&#8217;m really glad i saw <a href="http://stores.ebay.com/Takas-Dakimakura-Store" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/stores.ebay.com/Takas-Dakimakura-Store?referer=');">this guy&#8217;s Ebay store</a> and was able to order a Custom Dakimakura through him. I should be getting it within a month or so and since it&#8217;s one sided it only cost me $45! Which is amazing since I&#8217;ve stated to many people that I&#8217;d pay upwards of $100 to have my own Kamina Dakimakura. Once i do get it expect a full review and a very happy Dancing Queen.</p>
<p><em><strong>Edit: Finally got him! See my review <a href="http://www.howagirlfigures.com/2008/10/14/my-kamina-dakimakura/" target="_blank">here</a>! </strong></em></p>
