Lianhe Zao Bao - December 19 2007

We approved heartily of Raydance and her crew working hard to bring The Doll Affair to life, and when Scube, TDA's media liason, asked to
feature us in this Zao Bao NOW cover article, we could not refuse her kindness. So here we are; lucky enough to help and participate in the
build-up to a historical local BJD event.

Chinese paper, Lianhe Zao Bao.
Human faces censored for your well-being.



A close-clip of the section featuring the tangled bunch [and Tsuki a way above XD]. Roughly translated:
3) Doll Fashion Design
The two siblings [Jun] (23 years old) and [M] (18 years old) started collecting BJD from 2003. BJD attire was limited and quite pricy, so the two
decided to make them themselves. M's main responsibility is creating clothes, Jun's is jewelry creation and prop crafting for photography, as
well as BJD faceups.

The two are currently full-time students, so products are limited; most are commissions for other BJD owners. The two are using the ballet
'Giselle' as their main theme for this TDA, selling themed clothes, jewelry and postcards.

Other than displaying their goods, the two siblings also hope to gather with other collectors. [Jun]* said: "It has been difficult for local BJD
collectors to finally have such an event, so we hope that there will be a good response for TDA to continue being held."

*Note: M was credited with the quote in the article, but if we remember rightly, it's actually Jun who said it. The translation has been corrected
accordingly.

Once again, thank you for asking us Scube, and Li Bai Juan for being such an efficient and patient photographer. M quite likes the photo.
