And Here Come The Girls

freedom Amiot has released two cosplay renditions of anime heroines who gave their name to titles: Shana (Shakugan no Shana) and Haruhi Suzumia (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya / Suzumiya Haruhi no Yūutsu).

Both are scripted; Haruhi has face expressions, an AO and "attacks". Shana's got an AO as well and can transform. Both are available here.

From The Miscellaneous Store

CHATNOIR Catnap has been busy this last week and you can see it from the number of new releases in her store.

First, here's a rare calligraphy, that you would even not find in antiques shop in Japan even if you try hard. It reads in Japanese: "Yome no meshi ga mazui". In order words: "(my) bride's food is awkward".

About the radically different English translation, CHATNOIR explained to me that it's a joke, and that you can link the two sentences this way : "Without the power of love, there is a wall that you can't climb over."

Then, on a different note... CHATNOIR first tought about the upcoming spring season... And then about the Setsubun festival and its bean throwing on oni (ogres), then the mask of a woman that has turned into an oni from an excess of jealousy... She came back to the start and got the camellia, who symbolizes spring... Mixed the two together and came up with a "devil and flowers" kimono set.

And finally, twelve (!) sets of three textures for japanese sliding doors, the one below being one of them. There is certainly one that will fit your tastes. Come to have a look!
