For a while, JenyBean, Usagi Seion, and I had a mini cosplay group that we nicknamed "Serene-Crystalline-JenyBean." As a matter of fact, we came up with that name at this shoot. David Ng had requested that we do a private shoot for him after he finished with the EGL picnic, so Usagi Seion and JenyBean changed their outfits a bit, and I changed my petticoat. We had a lot of fun shooting "Dolls in the Garden".

Care Bear!

The story of the Care Bears is actually pretty cute.

JenyBean has a pretty big collection of them, and while getting ready at her house, I thought it might be a cute idea to bring them along as an accessory.

So JenyBean grabbed Funshine Bear, who's her favorite...

Usagi Seion grabbed a pink one, because that's her favorite color...

...and I grabbed a blue one to match my nails.

I didn't realize until after I saw these pictures, that we ended up having pastel versions of the primary colors! It worked out well.

"Girls! Don't play on the cannon!"

There's probably something subconciously sexual about this...

...but how dare you think that? WE HAVE CARE BEARS!

CARE BEARS, YOU SICK PERVERTS!

Oooh, I'm riding sidesaddle!

Jen's outfit is a black version of Chii's bakery outfit from Chobits that she borrowed from her friend Jess.

Pretty Usagi Seion. This outfit was actually a "fetish bride" costume we found in the Village, and then "Lolita"-ed up with the peticoat, and ribbons and lace and all that stuff.

Louis snuck back and took this one while Dave was posing us elsewhere. So cute!!

Showing off my heels.

Favorite. Photo. EVER.

Usagi Seion and JenyBean went off to change their clothing, and the building we chose had these gorgeous fish!

We've all changed. I borrowed Usagi Seion's white petticoat, and she put on a dress she bought from Trash and Vaudeville, and JenyBean put on Chii's "maid/waitress" outfit.

This boat was too much fun to pose with.

I'm tired. My feet hurt.

Or, maybe I'm just a brat.

I love the elegance of this costume!

Usagi Seion's umbrella matched the dress perfectly.

"I will be here for you."

Girls in a boat.

"How may I serve you, my lady?"

"I love you, you know."

Crystalline, JenyBean, and Serene

Jeny fixes her costume while Dave poses me.

First Communion?

Or Going to the Chapel?

"My lady?"

"How should I be any kind of a lady?" (Sorry. Man of La Mancha joke there.)

"Now and forever, thou art my lady."
