First Foray into ZC Girl and Triad Toys

Scored a ZC Girl "EVE" Body (Pale) and a Triad Style New Skool Outfit at the CSC Flea Market. My first foray into the respective manufacturers.

I have to say the boss was quite friendly to me. You don't find many such people in CSC especially. I was told the Triad Otaku body may be coming at month's end. Hopefully can score one from him.

I'm a mini-collector (can't fight with the big players of course) of female bodies and I own a BBI Perfect Body Female. I'm not satisfied with the quality, honestly, and I want to see how Eve fares.

The size of her bust was also a consideration.






I bought the Triad Style outfit 'cos it looks cute. The outfit is obviously designed for 1:6 action figure bodies, so it will not fit my obitsus and Jennys nicely. I already have a sailor uniform from my Jenny collection, let's see how this one compares.

Apologies for the sloppy photos. I can't wait to get them photographed and my "professional" studio/stage for doll photography is packed with dolls now.

Upcoming: Star Wars Force Unleashed Stormtrooper Commander

Spotlight on Culture: Baoan Nationality

My Baoan doll has a totally different flavor from the Wa doll. Long sleeves cover the limbs and the overall costume gives you a prudish feel.

About their costume:

20世纪50年代以后，保安族妇女的服饰也有不同程度的变化，大多喜穿色彩鲜艳的衣服。年轻妇女上穿粉红色或青、蓝色的长夹袄，上套坎肩，长度刚过双膝，称作“一锅烟”。衣襟、衣袖都不有同颜色的三道花边，第一道仅二分宽，为红色；第二道四寸宽，为浅蓝色；第三道为“万不断”云子，色彩要与服装的颜色相搭配。妇女和姑娘们都戴盖头。起初，盖头长至腿腕，后来就比较短了。盖头的颜色，姑娘为绿色，出嫁时，在间顶处缀两条交叉的红绸带垂于背后；中年妇女为青色；老年为白色。盖头只有出时才戴，在家只戴白布帽，保安语称之为“琪项麻勒赫”。喜订节日时，年轻的姑娘喜戴红、绿色礼帽。

Hmm, what's our girl doing in the last picture?

She's in the sujood prayer position. ^^

In fact, you might have guessed it by now. The Baoan nationality is Muslim, one of the ten nationalities in China to believe in Islam.

PS: Apologies to my Muslim readers. I know her sujood position is full of mistakes. This is because our girl is not bendable. Let her be a negative example. She still has much to learn.
