Valentine’s Day (Saint Valentine’s Day) is an annual holiday held on February 14 celebrating love and affection between intimate companions. Usually celebrated by the giving of chocolates, flowers, and / or other gifts to symbolize your affection towards your loved one(s).
To celebrate Valentine’s Day 2010, decided to get a few items from local hobby shop and put together a little photo shoot with my two lovely girls – Yoko and Rin!! Just a small warning, this post will be quite yuri-themed. There is some bare vinyl and suggestive posing in these photos. In other words use caution if viewing around your boss or significant other. Unless they like this sort of thing, in which case invite them over to have a look with you ^^
Decided to get creative a bit. Originally going to do a photo shoot with them in normal clothes laying in the rose pedals, but decided to go with the ‘pedal bikini’ look instead.
Plus the pedals reminded me of The Birth of Venus painting.
Black backdrop doesn’t go well with Rin’s lovely, dark hair ^^;;
And getting the pedals to stay put required a bit of work too.
The rest of these photos will be quite yuri-themed. You have been warned…again! ^^
This is one my favorite photos from this shoot ^o^
Slightly different angle.
Yoko: Rin…look behind you.
Rin: Hmmm? *Looks back*
Rin: *Tsundere Mode Activated!* Enjoying the show Mr. Ecchi!!
Switch positions =3
Alrighty, gonna let the pictures do the talking for a bit. Be back shortly.
Can see the textures of the pedals a bit in this shot. Obviously tell they’re synthetic. Some of you probably didn’t even notice them because you were focused on other things ^^
This was also one of my favorite photos from this shoot. I like how Yoko’s resting her head on Rin’s bosom.
Today was also Chinese New Year, also known as Lunar New Year. For those that are unaware, 2010 is the year of Tiger. 2009 was the year of the Ox, which is why I got Holstein Hanako. Following is taken from Wikipedia:
Chinese New Year, Lunar New Year, or Spring Festival is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays. It is commonly called “Lunar New Year”, because it is based on the lunisolar Chinese calendar. The festival traditionally begins on the first day of the first month (Chinese: 正月; pinyin: zhēng yuè) in the Chinese calendar and ends on the 15th; this day is called Lantern Festival. Chinese New Year’s Eve is known as chú xī. It literally means “Year-pass Eve”.
I didn’t have any tiger figures laying around. Considered turning my Saber Lion nendoroid into Saber Tiger, but didn’t really want to do that without having another one =P
And I didn’t have cheongsams for my girls to wear. So I figured I would see what I got around the base that was tiger related. Yet to my surprise, it would turn out that was pretty much nothing!! Luckily I found an All-Seeing White Tiger in my card collection. So Rin happily volunteered to show it off for the occasion. For those that can’t read the card’s text, it says:
A proud ruler of the jungle that some fear and others respect.
beautiful happy belated valentines
Happy belated Valentine’s Day to you too
