Going online with a new laptop!
Recently, a few Dollfies have been showing off thier new laptops that were purchased from American Girl's website. I really thought they were cool looking and wanted to get one for Manami but after checking thier website, American Girl was backordered on them until mid September. :( I happened to comment on that in Zakuro's thread when she showed her daughter Tsukiko using the new computer. A few days later and Zakuro posted another thread showing Excellen and Seina with the laptop and its accessories, along with announcing the fact that she had gone by an American Girl retail store and found 3 of these sets in stock. Zakuro also stated that these sets were for sale if anyone was interested so I immediately emailed her to see if any were left. She told me that she had actually had Manami in mind when she picked these up and that she still had them available! I was so excited to hear that! So Zakuro sold me the setup for her cost plus the shipping and I just got them in yesterday.
Zakuro, thank you so, so much for helping me get these great things for Manami! She really loves them and is having lots of fun playing online. She has even setup an instant messaging account so she can talk with her sisters and brother in North Carolina. :)
So here is Manami getting her goodies in the mail and showing us how she is using them!

A nice box arrives in the mail for Manami. She was not expecting anything because I kept this a secret from her. ^_^

Go ahead and open it dear, it's for you.

Upon opening the box, there was a letter addressed to Manami!

Just look at this awesome envelope! It fits her hands perfectly and has her name on it along with her "address". I like how the stamp was even shown as processed!

And what was inside the envelope? An actual letter from Zakuro! This is a shot of Manami actually reading the letter. I think she read it out loud like 5 times. Just look how well it fits her hands!

Here is what the letter said on it. Manami was very happy she got an actual letter addressed to her personally. She keeps it with her laptop at all times. :3

Alright now Manami, lets see what else came in the package. What's in the bubble wrap?

"Look Papa! A shiny computer! And it's my size!"

What's that on the front?
"It looks like Dragonflies...."
You're right Manami, they are Dragonflies, just like we see outside!

So Manami gets her new laptop up and running ( I think it's the new Windows D.L.F.E. operating system. ) ^o^ And she heads right for a website she sees me visit quite often....

No it's not Ebay! :P It's the Volks Dollfie Blog! However, since Manami can read Japanese, she visits the Japanese site. I have been trying to get her to teach me but she has refused so far saying she has to have *some* secrets. Gee thanks dear.

So how does it work Manami?
"Oh it's very fast Papa, faster than *your* laptop is."
Thanks for dissing my laptop dear, I appreciate it.

"Look what I found! It's my swimsuit pictures on Figure.fm! I sure look good huh?"
Yes you do dear.....
(Zakuro actually made me 3 screens to put on the laptop screen! They fit perfectly and look so cool!)

Ah look, my laptop has the same picture up as yours does Manami. But yours loaded it faster.... rats. Looks like I need an upgrade to the D.L.F.E. system.......

"What's this for?"
That is the laptops carrying bag dear. You put it inside for when you need to travel with it or carry it and its accessories around.
"Oh! That's neat! And it even matches with the Dragonflies on the laptop!"
( I took the idea that Zakuro had and covered up the "Lanie" stitching on the bag flap with a nice little blue hairbow. It actually matches the Dragonflies very well!)

Inside the case were some postcards, a letter and the bracelet.

Here is a closeup of the bracelet. It's got a heart shaped Earth on it in very bright blue.

Of course it's way too big for an actual bracelet so I stole this idea from Zakuro and Excellen ( sorry guys but yall made it look so good!) So Manami now has this awesome choker! She really thinks it's cool.

Here, Manami models her bag for me. I think that bow I added matches really well and hides that name "Lanie" pretty nicely. And yes, she is actually standing on her own with the laptop inside the bag along with all it's pieces!

Here's a closeup of the bag.

And a closeup of my girl. ^0^ Sooo cute!

Hey Manami, there seems to be one more thing inside the box. Why don't you check it out?

"It feels kinda soft. What is it?"
Take off the paper and see you silly girl!

"Ahhh! It's an Usagi!!! Sooooo fluffy!"

<<Snuggle snuggle>> "Oh Papa! Usagi is so cute! I can really keep him?"
Of course you can! We can't very well turn him loose outside and have him go hungry now can we?
"No way Papa! I will take good care of him!"
I know you will Manami.
Now what do you say to Zakuro?

"Zakuro, thank you sooooooo much for my laptop and letter and Usagi! I love them all! Tell your daughters I said hello and also tell all your friends at *The Lab* that I said hello and thank you for watching how I have been doing!" XOXOXOXO <- That's hugs and kisses from Manami :^)
Again, thanks very much Zakuro, you have made us both very happy with these!










awwwwwwwwwwwwww XD hahaha so cool ^O^ Love it when the usagi comes out huhu! Glad you guys did not turn it loose :P LOL
Ha ha! There was no way Usagi would be turned loose after Manami figured out what he was. She has not put him down yet! :)
i wish my laptop had this button. :D
BTW, that lappie is a Hackintosh. It's clearly a PC style laptop but somehow or another they managed to hack Mac OS X on there. Look at the screen closely. Mac OS X. Very leet! Some of the best computers running Mac OS weren't intended to run it. I have friends with ThinkPads who run Mac OS X on them. And Linux too. Congrats on the new bun-bun too.
O hyes, Zakuro told me this was a Mac setup to begin with. While I am not too familiar with them, Manami seems to be right at home using it. She already ran down the battery and is now recharging. ^_^ But I stated it was a Windows D.L.F.E. system purely because I thought it was a funny pun on the word Dollfie. Shows my computer skills..... T_T
awwwww so cute she is becoming more and more adorable and sexy :) each time you post I love the little laptop and the bag hope she has fun online ^_^
Thank you! I agree that she becaomes more adolrable all the time. And I think she has become so comfortable here at home that she shows off more and more skin with each photo shoot we do! So far she has been to all the Dollfie sites I know of and even some I don't. She has yet to find eBay but she did find a HUGE moneypit website..... Yahoo Japan! O_o LOL
Your wallet is in danger now! lol but I bet you can't say no to her cuteness :) I couldn't hehe
You are correct, it is *very* hard to say no to her. It's just too easy to get her things when she looks so happy with them!
Manami cute!! And the laptop acessory is very cool!
Thank you!
Manami is so cute playing with all the items! The lab had a great time reading the post. We love all the pictures. I am glad Manami is happy with her new toys!
Thanks so much! I am glad you guys enjoyed the pictures. Hoefully that last one made yall happy! :) And yes, Manami is very happy with all her things. She has yet to put down Usagi and when she got back into the computer room, the first thing she did was put her cell phone AND her pistol into the bag along with everything else! And it all fits too! I was amazed it all stays put and the flap even shuts properly. She is dangerous now! ^_^
Every post I see gets more and more adorable<333
