Well a lot of you guys are my friends on Poupee Girl so I thought I’d have a talk about the new Jewel system that they’re implementing now.

If you want to know what poupee girl is have a look at my original post here.
So Katherine announced the other day that they are going to being a new campaign called Jewels.
What is it?
-Poupee has a currency of ribbons, you can earn ribbons to buy cute clothes for your Poupee at the market and at special events at Katherine’s shop. About a year or so ago they put in a new feature where you could buy ribbons. The basic idea with jewels is that now instead of being able to buy ribbons you will be able to buy jewels, a second currency.
So? What do jewels get me?
Well the only thing you can do with jewels is buy clothes at the special Jewel floor of Katherine’s shop.
And what’s the point of this?
Well judging by the current trend they are now only going to release the cutest items on the special floor of Katherine’s store. So what it boils down to is that if you want the super cute items you’ll have to spend real money and buy jewels. It also seems you won’t be able to use your jewels to buy anything other than the special items.
Apparently several other free to play webgames have gone the same way as Poupee and are more and more often implementing pay to play parts of the site. I am in no way against the creators and people who work on the site making money, they totally deserve it with the cool games they create… but I think there are much better ways to do things than this. Firstly Poupee is already full of subtle advertising, every time you leave a comment there is fine print advertising underneath. Not the mention the special even sales at Katherine’s shop which link to real world items. More special events please!
So what do other users think? Is this going to change the way you play Poupee Girl?

Another geisha related ACEO.
I went through a phase of painting nothing but Geisha for a while. I like the stark contrasting colours. This was a quick watercolour warm up exercise ACEO.
I bought some really cute clothes this week including a little beanie/beret thingy which actually doesn’t look terrible on me! Pictures to follow next week 😛
What have you all got planned for the weekend? This is my weekend list: -Make a dent in the new Blue Crane Design website -Maybe visit some markets tomorrow -Finish making my first 75 kanji flash cards -Eat yummy food -Re-do my nails -Think about changing the side bar layout of my blog and then not get around to changing it.
Time for breakfast!

In which I enjoy breakfast in bed.
Ah as you guys know I haven’t been feeling too great lately what with work and seeming to catch every single flu and cold that blows through the city… It’s horrible some times. Having an illness which makes you immune system so low means you get sick much more often than other people on top of your usual symptoms.
But enough whining! This is a happy post because I have the best boyfriend in the whole world!
I was surprised the other day with breakfast in bed… well actually it was breakfast in couch because while he was making it I woke up and came down stairs and scared him half to death ^_^
This is probably the only photo of me you’ll ever see not dressed properly, heehee even my bathrobe is pink!

This is what I was served! It was even on a silver platter, how beautiful is that?! Peanut butter and honey toast, buttered toast, a cut up sugared strawberry, a cup of tea just how I like it and to top it all off… an Bueno! Man I love Buenos! Come and sponsor me Bueno and give me lots of free Buenos! XD
And that’s why I have the best boyfriend ever!
Now after that brief interlude of relaxation I’ve got the get back to work 😀
Upcoming posts:
-Review of an adorable CSN stores product (They sell lots of stuff like homewares, wine racks, kids/princess themed things but I’m going to be reviewing this cute hanger thingy when it arrives)
-Outfit posts
-Tutorial- how to use hot rollers
-Lots more!
Also I’m going to be cleaning out my closets and deco supplies soon and putting them up for sale on ebay. I am going to be getting rid of most of my older Lolita style clothes and lots more, if any of you are interested I’d much rather sell to friends than strangers so comment if you are interested in me making a sales post here before I do everything on ebay.
Lots of love!
Do you guys ever get treated to breakfast in bed?
