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... 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

I forgot about mentioning Himeno in my last arrival blog but she got here when Secret Wonderland Miu did. She is amazing and her dress and accessories are very detailed. Her boots were cute and well her whole outfit was cute. The only problem I had was with her veil. It was a pain to get it on her and it would leave her hair a little messy so I ended up taking it back off and fixing up her hair again. Though she is defiantly a favorite of mine. Here are the Pure Neemo dolls that I am waiting on from Celga that should come in this next week sometime.



Here are the last set of dolls I need to have shipped to me from Celga but I won't request it until Sahra gets to them. She is the only I am waiting for to come in so they can be shipped in.



 Sahra should be to me by the first week of September since she is released at the end of August.



I have found Himeno DS version I was looking for but I think I will pass her up this time around. She is being sold with another Himeno version which I do not want and they are going over 30,800 yen at the moment which I do not want to pay that much for a doll I want and a doll I do not want. Denise contacted me about Tick Tock Rabbit Himeno saying she had her and I could buy her and now I am just waiting back to hear from her. So exciting! ^^ I hope I get her! ^^

Well I am a little happy as I finally captured one out of the two Classic Alice dolls I been going for. I won Chershire Cat Aika. I am still waiting for Himeno to show up on there. I missed out on Classic Alice Koron but not because I was out bidded, but because Celga failed to bid on it for me. I has to send them a few emails about it just to get an answer only for them to blame the seller ending the auction early when in fact the saler didn't end it early and I watch it. They just failed to bid on it. This is the first time that has happened so I will let it slide. So now I will have to wait for her to show up again. >_<  So all and all, I feel there really is only four more dolls I want to get. I am talking about the ones that have already been released.  

I been going through so much crap lately that I forgot about my pre-order that I did back in June for the Snow Miku. I also ordered 2008 Ala at that time as well and the both are due to arrive today which I am excited for. I always like getting dolls in the mail. It makes my day! ^^ I still wonder when Panty and Stocking are going to be release this month. They were pre-ordered the same time these were, but from a different site. I ordered these ladies from pullipstyle.com and at great prices.

I was really hoping on this being a stress free weekend. Friday started out good. Brittney's drama is over with me and I received my dolls from Celga. So I was content! ^^ Until I woke up this morning and checked my email. A shady buyer from ebay received their doll I sold them and now she somehow produced a tear on the right side of the box. *sigh* Some how I knew this person would make a complaint some how.  They bought a Sailor Mars doll from me on ebay. After a week and a half of no contact, I started a claim on them to get them to either pay or cancel the purchase. Well two days later, they complained they were disappointed in the fact I did that because they were on vacation. Then said they would pay in two days. Well they ended up paying that day.

Once they did they emailed these exact words to me, "Hello. I just sent my payment. Please ship the item inside a sturdy cardboard box and use some bubble wrap. Please mark the package as a gift and declare $15 on customs form (CN22). Thank you." 

I am like WTF? First off I am like, who are you to tell me how to mail my item and two it is illegal to lie on a customs form!!! This buyer already seemed fishy to me so I reported them to ebay multiple times. Ebay never did a thing so I finally shipped it. I ALWAYS ship in a good box and bubble wrap. I also didn't change anything on the customs form. Though I felt this was already a fishy situation so I haven't left them feedback yet. I was afraid that they would either claim they never received it, which I have tracking even if it is international, or something.

Well I went and checked my mail and there was an ebay message from him, well he received it alright but he claims there is a tear in it on the right side and he wants to know why I didn't put that in the listing.

Grrrrr. That is a total lie unless the mail did it but I packed it extra good because I had a bad feeling about this guy. That doll is brand in and the box but the box is so old it was coming unglued at the sides and the tape even stopped sticking which was all stated in the auction.

So I told that guy that I do not lie nor cheat and that if it has a tear in it, it was not like that when I mailed it. If he wants he can send it back and I will refund him.

I figure this douche bag will leave me my first negative feedback on ebay because he is a jerk. I seen his feedback and it looks like a while back he gave someone negative feedback because they didn't change the customs form like I didn't. I hate the fact you can't give buyers negative feedback anymore.

There are bad buyers and sellers out there and in the last month I have been dealing with both kinds! I am at the point where I am starting not to care anymore.

Seriously I have had bad karma in the last month. I am ready for it to be over!  I will update on the douche bag buyer as soon as I hear back.

Well I went to EGL to try and find some things and there were a lot of nice offers and one good site I think I will order from in the future but to expensive for me at the moment. So here what I ended up ordering to complete my attire.





So there is the rest of this attire and bodyline really has some cute things. When I lose some of my boobs and a few more inches in my waist then I could get some Anglic Pretty lolita outfits which are really expensive but so cute! ^^

So this project of my first Lolita outfit has been ongoing for a while and put on hold for some months. One because I needed to lose weight to fit in the dress. My boobs are still a little snug in it. Can't help that, momma gave me some big ones. lol  I can lose all the weight but they will still be pretty good size. lol Okay enough about my boobage. Now I can fit in my dress with the boob snugness but I love the way it looks. I bought it from a fellow cosplayer and lolita Kagz! She is awesome. EIther way, I have the shoes that matches and as you can see the wig, Though the blue are a little different shade but it still looks good. Oh an no I didn't wear any make up in these photos. I hate make up and only wear it on special occasions and conventions.

Okay, I received a fast response from google adsense. I heard it takes a while for them to get back with you. So here is the lovely email I received:

Now, not once did they answer any of my questions that I asked. I had to fill out a form when I appealed and I asked a few questions about what was going on and what site was doing it and what not. I have been reading online in their forums about this happening to a lot of people. Most of the the people were cheating. Which I don't blame them for deactivating their accounts. They usually review the account once you reach $100 dollars and on the 15th of the month that they got it. Now what I am concerned about is which site was it happening on and if it was more then one person. I checked my personal site to locate hint but I can't tell because I get a lot of return customers.  So what I think is that someone sabotaged this on purpose. Even if I did click on my own banner once by accident it wouldn't show up so whoever  did this was doing it a lot. So I emailed them back again. I really need customer service here where I am lacking from them.  If someone was doing it on youtube or livejournal, how can I actually stop them? Seriously? I have no way of blocking and IP on these two sites. They know this and still allow it on both sites. So here is what I replied by to that email but I am not sure if that is a good email to mail to:

"I am sorry but you did not answer any of my questions. None of my questions had to do with privacy so you can answer them. My first question was where or how I say,  which site was this happening on? If lt was livejournal, I can not block people there because I do not own that site and the same with youtube.  Now if it was my web sites, I can do something about that. I also asked what proof do you guys need so I can get it. I assume you can. I have had this account since 2008 and all of the sudden it was deleted. If you worried about you money, you can give it back to the advertisers and start me at zero again even though I know for a fact not all that was accrued on my account wasn't false like you say. Either way, it would be nice if someone would work with me here because I am generally concern that this has happened. You may get this stuff happening but I think this was an honest mistake that can be corrected if we work together but so far you haven't helped me out any. I would appreciate if someone get back with me on this. I am willing to work this out but I can't if you are not willing which would be bad customer service.


Thank you,
Alyssa"

I am sure there are honest people out there like myself that this has happened to. I don't even have a chance to correct it. What if someone is going around doing this to people. Once they disable your account for good like they did mine, you are not allowed to EVER get another account. They say they have tools to look this up but why are they not doing it during the time it is happening then alert you about it or block them? Why should the honest people get treated unfair for something they had no control over at the time. I was even out of town when it happened. I believe they could warn you of illegal activity going on before deleting your account. I did read they have the tools where you can look it up yourself but hell I can't do that all the time and nor can a lot of people that are busy. Well we shall see how well their customer service is. I hate being powerless. They can do what they want and you have no control over it. Plus they never show proof of the illegal activity. They just say it was done and can't tell you because of privacy.
