My new LISMO strap has arrived!! (Celebrate, Come on^^)

I didn't have to wait much (=^__^=)/
Registered mail seems to be pretty fast from Malaysia and I'm very happy of the new bounch of cell phone straps I got it lately!!
I've bought my first LISMO strap with display cleaner..

I't's soooo cute!!
Green and attractive! I really luv it!
One of my best strap ever!
Lismo-kun has got the handsfree earphones for wireless music and the typical au by kddi "infobar" orange phone..


Extremely Kawaii!!! o(^-^o)(o^-^)o

In the same parcel I received also 2 Softbank-Sharp 812sh "Pantone Edition" colourful straps..


Pantone phones (Softbank 812 sh) are really cool. There are about 24 different colors out and you can choose the one you like most..
They are all beautiful Pantone colors and in my opinion it should be very hard to choose the fave one among soo many attractive nuances..

apparently there should be a different phone strap for any colour.. I've bought only the red and orange ones.. I liked also the purple and violet-blue ed. that were available at the time of my order but I ran out of money (LOL) (^^;)


The last strap I received in the very same day it was sent from Japan and it is a pretty rare promo merchandise for SEGA Dreamcast console. It is a red lacet with a funny toy charm that depict Mr. Yukawa Hidekazu (SEGA Enterprises office executive) who in 1998 was main star of Dreamcast launch ad campaign.


The japanese writings on the blister says "Ganbare!! Yukawa senmu" (Cheer up!!-Do your best! Managing Director Yukawa)...
It is soo funny and pretty unconventional (^-^')
I'm very glad I laid my hands on it!!

LISMO squirreeeeeeeeeeeeeel ^^ (EDITED with new animations)


(Lismo-kun with handsfree earphones)

hihihi.. he is soooo damn cute!! I'm madly in love with the au KDDI LISMO mascotte..
it's a funny and scrumptious white squirrel.. he loves music and always listens to it..
and as a matter of fact LISMO is a Music instant download (chaku-uta) service provided by Japanese Mobile Company 'au by KDDI'..

I don't want to make comparison with my beloved mushrooms.. (Docomodake) in my opinion it is unfair to side only with one kawaii mascotte.. I LOVE EM ALL!!! (lol) (stupid Mauro!!) ^_^

I've created a bounch of new wallpapers and Menu icon set starring Lismo-kun (the Lismo guy or 'little Lismo') looking forward to receive a new LISMO strap I've bought lately on e-bay (from Malaysia) (with a couple of Softbank Sharp Pantone colour ed. straps.. SUGOOI!!)
(^-^')


(Main menu icon set in Japanese.. I luv it!! I'm sooo proud of it!!)

really hope you'll love em as much as I do..
o(^-^o)(o^-^)o

Onitsuka Taigaaaa ^^; my sneaker mobile


(oooh it's very nice!!)

Onitsuka Ltd is one of the most popular Japanese brand for Sporty Shoes and sneakers, marketed worldwide by Asics Corps. (same company), this brand has succeded in mantainig its philosophy to create "made in Japan"shoes with young and appealing charm.

some days ago I ran into a nice advertising Onitsuka pampleth and soon thought it could be funny to design a new DIY custom jacket..

(^__^)/ great outcome!


It's fresh - summerlike - colourful and very sporty (despite of my brash lazy attitude) (^-^')

I used two paper sheets (the lower one has to be thicker) to avoid bubbles and waves and this trick is very helpful to obtain a nice custom jacket cover o(^-^o)(o^-^)o

(in this picture you can see also my newest Docomodake straps, the blue leather one and the small plastic charm^^)

I made also a brief clip for my youtube account:



and here is a wallpaper I edited this morning for my vs7:

Burberry Rocks!!




o(^-^o)(o^-^)o
it's probably my best jacket so far..
can't stop cherish my stupid phone since I made the Burberry Brit DIY custom jacket.. ( *^.^) (lots of caresses)

everything came out soo smooth this time..
ok, maybe I was just lucky^^




As I told you last time I suspected that using multiple paper sheets for a thin and light jacket could lead up to a better outcome and I was correct :-)
The paper I used for the Brit's Jacket was a simple advertising picture (magazine cutting), very thin and frail. To avoid waves I just put a second jacket (slightly bulker paper) under the Burberry one.. and it's perfect!



The fragrance of Burberry Brit is one of my favourite ever (along with Dior's Fahrenheit) and the distinctive Burberry's check pattern is incredibly stilish and refined in light grey nuances..
I'm very pleased with my newest cover^^
BRAVO MAURO!!
BRAVO' (^-^')

SAILOR MOON... Tsuki ni kawatte.. oshiokiyo!!!!



I remember with some fondness that in high school my friends & I were totally obsessed with the pretty soldier Sailor Moon anime. Everyone had his/her fave character and after a first crush on Minako (Sailor Venus), I had been completely mesmerized by the ambiguous charm of Sailor Uranus..

Haruka was powerful & elegant and because of her tomboy quality she was thought at first to be a guy.. yet she was soo beautiful!! Her complex femininity unveiled itself on her lesbian love with Neptune, she was so tender, devoted and protective..

I couldn't help but love her..

Few days ago while doing some "spring cleaning" (summer spring-cleaning? LOL) in my room I found some old cuttings and cards and merchandising I collected in those days..

That's a great chance to make a new jacket.. stuupid-Me thought.. (^-^')



as usual I tell myself I have to do some more accurate work..
there's a new and fresh proclivity to maniac perfectionism inside me.. nothing related to something useful as my thesis or my studies.. but a perfectionism for foolish and futile things..

but that's me..

To make this cover I used an old Sailor Moon cards' packaging bag..
That laminated sheet turned out to be way too much light & thin.. and under the clear panel it has made some wavy parts.. (luckly not so noticeable)

mumble mumble.. maybe I have to put some other paper sheet under the sailor cover.. I'll think it over and will make eventual modifications in future :)



anyway I like the outcome even though not perfect ^^,



why dont we make a complete sailor-customization this time?

I've found a sailor moon fan-site soo cool these days, I've asked the owner if I could use some flash animations she posted on her site to create some wallpapers to put here, she is very gentle and I suggest you visit her site if you're fond of sailormoon anime.. there's tons of cute stuff^^

And now here are some animated gif wallpapers, mp3 ringtones, main menu icon set and also external wallpapers!! I've done my best to customize evrything this time, hope you'll enjoy it^^
