Saya-chan for NYA Dolls

Dozo Yoroshiku! Sayaka desu (^.^)

Let me introduce my trustworthy assistant (not to mention, not so dynamic, but hey, she's inspiring) Sayaka Tsuchiya. You can call her "Sayaka", "Saya", "Saya-T" for short. Her Japanese friends call her "Saya-chan". My blog reporter (is there such??) for our business in creating dolls. She'll be the one to blog report on my latest creations, news, and whats happening with our company. She's really reliable, and very friendly (she just look snobbish & strict) Haha.

Oh, We interviewed her after telling her we want her for our company. Sayaka is from Tokyo, Japan. She came last year December to live in our place permanently. She really is proud of her nationality and likes to express it. Her fashion sense to put in words (according to her) is, high fashion with a touch of "kawaii" (that's Japanese for "cute") She really loves to wear fashionable items. She doesn't care what brand it is as long as she can express her individuality but she said that she wouldn't mind wearing designer brands too (she also gave me a wink when she told me). Her favorite brand is Louis Vuitton. She emphasized that she loves fashion. Her ultimate idol and her star is Barbie. We talked to her that seemed like hours, but we really enjoyed the interview.

(You can read the full interview here: nyadolls.blogspot.com )

We are happy that she agreed with our invitation! Oh, Sayaka told me to tell everyone "Minna, dozo yoroshiku onegaishimasu!" that's "Nice to meet you all" in Japanese. :)

NOT YOUR AVERAGE dolls

Yay! I managed to steal some time to put something on my blog! Yay!

Anyway, these past few years me and my hubby have been training ourselves....(er..should I call i training or using our time..hehe) for our latest hobby: Doll customizing...well, it's really self explanatory. In a nutshell, we create and customize our dolls into One Of A Kind dolls (OOAK as they call it in the customization/collecting world) My hubby and I have different kinds of style. He's more into the Western culture, and Iam more of the Eastern. (Waddya know MFEO! haha).
We put up this mini business of ours called:

"NYA Dolls" oh, it means NOT-YOUR-AVERAGE Dolls"...(just to make what we do cohesive. Makes sense huh?)

My hubby's line is called "Gabooche Dolls".you can view more of these from this website by clicking the logo. He's more of the western culture, celebrity, pop, red carpet, vintage, haute coutoure side of inspiration

My line is called "J-poupée" Mine is more of the Japanese, Harajuku, Pop, Music, Mod, Fantasy side of inspiration. (Good thing I have background on Japanese culture) haha. Oh, you can find out more of the brand by clicking the logo.

Well, we had our launch just last month. We aligned it with Barbie's 50th Anniversary(our greatest inspiration for all) Whoever doesn't know her, must be living from outerspace! haha. oh here's one of my favorite picture of her:
(We love you Barbie!)
