<p>I have no reason to be receiving free figures really. But that doesn&#8217;t mean that i don&#8217;t think it would be awesome to get some!<br />
<span id="more-244"></span><br />
I&#8217;m always reading posts like <a href="http://www.dannychoo.com/adp/eng/1550/Anime+Figures.html" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.dannychoo.com/adp/eng/1550/Anime+Figures.html?referer=');">this</a> about how Danny Choo keeps getting Free Figures. It really reminds me of how Hollywood works. The Stars get so much free stuff it&#8217;s crazy, since if say Angelina Jolie uses a product you&#8217;ll have a mass of people who want to be like her and run out and buy said product. It&#8217;s really the same thing, there are plenty of people who depend on Danny&#8217;s reviews to decide on whether or not they&#8217;ll buy the figure or not. I will fully admit there have a been a few times I&#8217;ve seen a figure or two on Danny Choo and realized that it was awesome and that i must get my hands on it as well. Part of me wishes that i could get free figures as well. (wink ^_~ wink <a href="http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/2292/fb183dd4cbaa605b88a7941qj3.jpg" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/img529.imageshack.us/img529/2292/fb183dd4cbaa605b88a7941qj3.jpg?referer=');">kid nemo</a>) But really my hits don&#8217;t even stack up to Danny Choo&#8217;s site, or other figure sites really. My pictures aren&#8217;t as great as I&#8217;d like them to be <img src='http://www.howagirlfigures.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  . You can see the difference in quality here, this is <a href="http://www.howagirlfigures.com/2008/08/11/flame-haze-shana/" target="_blank">my Shana</a> photo shoot and <a href="http://www.mukyaa.com/figurinereview/86/shana" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.mukyaa.com/figurinereview/86/shana?referer=');">here is</a> Mukyaa.com&#8217;s shoot. His is so much better! I will admit that I&#8217;m still learning and have lots to learn. I need a better camera, better lighting and I&#8217;m going to be taking photography classes this fall so hopefully there will be some improvement. Plus seeing <a href="http://www.dannychoo.com/detail/mac/eng/image/6373/Translators+Wanted.html" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.dannychoo.com/detail/mac/eng/image/6373/Translators+Wanted.html?referer=');">this</a> makes me really wish i spoke Japaneses. Maybe i should call my boss and offer that they only pay me in figures&#8230; I&#8217;d work 10X harder thats for sure! Really this is me bitching about not being good enough to get free figures, but this doesn&#8217;t mean that I&#8217;m going to keep bitching about it. This only means i need to work much harder on my own photos and work on my content! Then maybe I&#8217;ll be cool enough for free figures too!</p>

<p>My boobs are too big, I hate this. I&#8217;m cosplaying a loli character and my boobs just look terrible in my outfit. While i&#8217;m trying to do some last minute workout routine to hopefully get in better shape by AX time. I&#8217;m hoping that my bra size goes down in this time too! I had some family come over a while ago and all we did in the course of one week was eat, eat and eat. I gained some weight and it went straight to my boobs&#8230; While i know plenty of people who will wonder why I&#8217;m complaining in the first place. When i was 14 i was flatter than a wall, i was begging for boobs. Wishing and hoping and thinking and praying, planning and dreaming for tits that are huge! (bonus points for anyone who can name the song thats from) But once i got my prayer, i was plagued with more problems than ever. Back problems, clothing problems. They are a pain to find bras for, i buy a few bras and then a month or so later they are too small cause GREAT i had another growth spurt and my tits are bigger again! Then i by clothes and the shirts are now designed for flat chested women, so i can&#8217;t wear them. And any shirt i find that would be good for someone with huge boobs just looks crazy slutty.<br />
<span id="more-175"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img61.imageshack.us/img61/6172/ad2e9cba47c25e2b1d73e11qb7.png" alt="" width="500" /></p>
<p>Well that was an interesting rant, i wrote that up a while back when i was having troubles finding a shirt for my cosplay. I went everywhere looking for a dress shirt. I Even tried the mens department but they were far too big for me. But all the womens shirts were terrible, either too short, too see through or they didn&#8217;t close up at the boob part. Finally i went with my friend Sarah and went shopping, i found an awesome top for my cosplay, but sadly it was a bit short, i succumbed to it since it was super cheap and of good quality and just told myself that it&#8217;ll be fine being a littler short. I was wrong once again but me being so awesome i figured out the way to make me the best shirt possible for my cosplay! I just grabbed a seam ripper and removed the sleeves from both shirts. I had one shirt that the sleeves were too long but the actual shirt was just right, and another that the sleeves were just right but the shirt was too short. So just changed the sleeves around. Now i have the most perfect shirt ever!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/3937/cimg0411aq5.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>I also got the tie which i was super lucky cause it&#8217;s been hard to for me to find a red tie and the right tone of red, I kept finding dark red ties, or ties with patterns. I&#8217;m just glad this is coming together sooner than later.</p>
<p>Now here is the awesome news! My skirt is complete! My 80 year old grandma was a seamstress and has made clothing her entire life so I decided to ask for her help to make it. Well it turns out the last time my grandma ever made any thing was 5 years ago and she was kinda unsure of how to go about it. But lucky me after a nights rest it all came back to her and instead of teaching me how to make it, she made it all herself in less than a week. It&#8217;s an amazing skirt and it fits perfectly! I do wish she would have taught me instead of making it herself but at the same time she sits around all day cleaning the house so this gave her something to do. She is at least very excited that someone in the family wants to learn how to sew and likes it. Since it&#8217;s what my grandma had to do to support the family none of her daughters wanted to sew. They all went to college and got degrees and all became teachers. My mom knows how to sew but she hates it and never wanted to teach me. So now that my grandma has someone to pass down all her knowledge she&#8217;s been much nicer to me!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/1130/cimg0413nq1.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></p>
<p>To make the skirt i showed my grandma the skirt to the right and said i wanted exactly this but a bit longer as you can see thats exactly what i got and i&#8217;m so glad.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/3603/cimg0416fg4.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></p>
<p>I can&#8217;t express how much i adore this skirt, i know i&#8217;m not only going to be wearing this as a cosplay skirt but as a regular skirt, it&#8217;s just so adorable i love it!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/6181/cimg0417tx8.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></p>
<p>I&#8217;m so glad that i got the skirt made instead of just buying one, my biggest worry about this cosplay was having the skirt and the leg warmers match! Now the only thing i have left to do is cut my wig, and make my eggs and pouch. I did find an ebay seller selling them but they want $80 for each! So i&#8217;m going to make it myself instead!</p>

<p>So i&#8217;ve been noticing i get some of the weirdest ads on my site lately, i need to figure out how to make Google not show some of these since they have nothing to do with my site! I mean ok so i have &#8220;Girl&#8221; in the title of my blog, but what does that have to do with wanting to know the sex of your baby? Some of the other ads are fine, for figures, or anime. But for what is the best way to conceive a girl? I mean come on!</p>
