Thanks to all members who participated in the festive shenanigans by dressing up their avatar - I believe the first person to do it was Gordon ?
What would be the next? Mirai cosplay on her birthday? Mirai-chans design was finalized on on 2007/01/28 01:42am. She will be 2 DC Reality years next month but an eternal 17 years old ^^;

Original text from Coco the Bean below.

Here's all the Christmas themed icons I've gathered in the past month or so, together in one place. By the way, the filenames are done by login name, and not by displayed name. (I didn't realize this until I saved about half of them. ^^;) If yours isn't on here leave a comment and I'll edit the picture.

Happy Holidays everyone! :D
*goes back to pretending to read chem textbook but is actually playing with Kagamine Rin nendo*

If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

    Mine was impossible to alter for Christmas so i left it alone. Besides it took a lot to re-size and crop this avatar i'm using.

    Nice picture. Makes me wonder if I should have made a Christmas avatar too. However considering I haven't got around to just make one in the first place, I'm not surprised that I haven't got around to it yet ^^;

    I have figured out what my avatar should be, but I don't have the right picture yet.
