Gacha Review: Gears of Time

Oh gee (>*A*)> First ever gacha that has a bit of steampunk there. Hooray! Since I am a lover of nuts and bolts and gears and all those gaslamp goodies.

What's the red facial feature up there, btw? Those are so adorable.


GC GACHA

Animateds
I like them better than the Arias, honestly.  Very nicely animated, detailed and precise movements.


BGs

I love the misty, muted grayish colors. One of the best non-Vocaloid BGs.

Tops--Female
T.W. Attires reminds me of Cardcaptor Sakura dresses ;P. Is that cropped crinolines I see beneath the skirt?  Cool. As for the bustle dress, I can imagine someone fall backwards when wearing it. The back bustle is too..heavy? I don't really know the weight but judging from the picture, it is.

Tops--Male
They reminds me of Mephisto Suits from NYAF.


See the similarity? :D
Anyway, the guy top's quirky. It's got a gear as the collar. But wth, planets? Are they planets? *Referring to the small Saturn-like things*

Hairs--Female
A way better version of the Medal Event braided pigtails. Nice!

Hairs--Male/Unisex
These are similar to Natural Feathered Shorts :P Like this version better--simple and clean.

Accessories
I love them all. I think these are very cute and wearable with anything--the hand spears and skewed time. And the hats <3<3

CC GACHA
Tops--Female
I don't really see how a Fleur De Lis is related to time or gears. The skirt is too puffy to my taste >:U

Tops--Male
Looks like Leather Tunics. Not especially good--the black one is the best.

Accessories
Totally WORTH collecting! I love gears. And they come in a lot of colors too..

Fashion Police #6

Beauty's Selfy tells us that you don't have to use expensive/popular outfits to be awesome ;)

zhelles did a brilliant Selfy ;) I like how the top tones down the fieriness, and matches the headphones.

Rare to see a Selfy dressed in all (recent) CC that looks good. blueberryjam! combined the dress and balloons nicely, as well as matching the cap and back butterflies.
Now I know what to wear my ancient headscarf with..

Very self explanatory, I think CJ of the DJ explained to us how to use the newest gacha items.
Interesting color scheme 0Sen uses in her outfit. Her hat seems a bit off though..




Simple and clean, biodegradable. still looks good.


I know you see a lot of Selfies dressing in pink and white cute attire..but this is a rare case. Where the user, Isarabi, does not over accessorize her outfit. Most of the pink-girly-cute Selfies I see put accessories everywhere, sometimes overshadowing the clothes.





Quirky! I like hitomifrn's item combination. A demon cat holding a kitty, that's really cute.
Seijo: I like how his hair and jeans color match ;) Nice face there *rushes to Shop

Riwa: Appealing selfy. The usage of black clothing and no accessories is clever :D Less is more applies here.

Akatsuko: The milk chocolate sweetens her whole outfit.



SelFeature: Junri

I was checking out Event Researchers group..again. And I found Junri.

Killer combination of reds and B&W. Everything blends so well~

And check out her room layout:
Very interesting and quirky.

Side Notes:
Junri is also an active member of TinierMe, and she contributes a lot to Event Researchers group. Thank you!

Gacha Review: Mirror Mirage

Oh gee *A* I'm so gonna waste my ticket into this! Plus, the dress from the campaign is SO. ADORABLY. CUTE <3 *flails* *dies from happiness*

GC GACHA
Animateds

I heart the way the butterflies flutter and how the swirls grow. But why TM why? Why do you ALWAYS add random bubbles in 'growing swirls' type animateds? I'm talking about Sky Clover Motifs. Whatever, I still like them.

(If anyone reading this has a Sky Clover Motifs green/teal up for trade, MM me ;)

Tops-Female
The red MRD is love. And so are the rest of the dresses. Mirror Country Dresses' skirts are a bit weird in my opinion.

Tops-Male
Alfred Nobel gotta be proud that his name is well remembered by TM staffs.
Mirror Nobel outfit, hell yeah. I suppose this is another Engrish?
Look at Stephanie's facial feature..
...her brink coughcough. Thanks to ZenHyuiminn *soz if I spelled it wrong* for pointing this out \=D/

Ok, back to Mr. Nobel's suits. Quite nice, they reminds me of Melodic Mother Goose gacha XD (One of my favorites)

Hairstyle-Female
WANT.


YESSSSS. THAT ONE. I got the image from kisekae3 , a Japanese Selfy Generator.
Conclusion: Female hair WIIIN.

Hairstyle-Male
Hella cool! I love that, looks sharp and edgy. Not to mention sexay.

Accessories
Everything's fine. The roses are cute ;3

CC GACHA
Jackets--Female/Unisex
Lolita-styled items <3 Will always love them.

Tops-Unisex
So..Little Lord Fauntleroy. Ciel or Alois will suit those :D

Accessories
Love them all.

Conclusion: Adding this into Favorite Gachas list :]

Gacha review: Purikura Photobox

Purikura. Another 'sexist' gacha.

FYI, Purikura is a Japanese Photobox. Usually, after photos have been taken, users could decorate their photos with ribbons, sparkles, and all those cutey-sparkley stuffs before printing it. Stephanie Yanez uses Purikura-style photos as her FB Profile picture..at least she did that once.

(Not that I'm fond of those..)

Okay, let's review!

GC GACHA
Animated

Cute popping animation. Too much bows for my taste ;|

Tops-Female (Duh, the GC gacha only have female tops!)
Frill Ribbon OPs kinda resemble the stuffs in Ballerina gacha, no?
There's something awkward with the colors D;
Is this gacha trying to marry Ballerina and Polka-dot? Overly laced with frills and bows. I like some items, but really, TM can do better.

Hairs-Female/Unisex
Only thing I like from GC gacha. TM's hair quality improves week by week! Nice.

Accessories
The bows are somehow cute, but the necklace, ouch. Shoes are quite good.

CC GACHA

Tops--Unisex
Love them! Great thing to collect. I shall complete sheet this gacha.

Accessories
I suspect that the Satin Headbands were Shop items before. Someone gifted me that yellow bandanna before this gacha started. Really. Are they running out of items? I hope not.


See? They haven't removed it from TMT, but when I searched in Selfy Shop, I didn't found them. Good thing that TM added one alternative color ;)
I like the glasses. Now I finally have a pair ;P
Boots..no comment.

Aila Mandragoran's gold-tinged Selfy win! I like the how she/he combines the hair with the eye, and everything else.
I personally like how Junetica fuses the blues and purples. 
Shiroa never cease to amaze me ;) Gold and black creates a unique look. Win!
Ooh, twins! Nice to see that they're icy blue ;)

Rare to see a selfy that uses Shop items well. I like how J@mpong mixes all the patterns. All CC, too.

Fashion Police #3

It's rare to see people walking in Gothic Lolita items nowadays, trust me. This guy, Bozu did it well. Plus, it's all CC items. (Note: the ari is a part of my name)

Awesome colors! Nero Wolfen combines black, white, and red beautifully. Nice hat there, now it goes to my want list ;)
I am starting to think that today, all the stylish guy selfies come to town. XD

OH SHI~ I forgot his name TTATT. Stunning combination of white, black, silver and grey! The cat tail and Wolf Boy Hair makes this unique. Futuristic cat-boy, mmm.

Really nice selfy. I like how the hair stands out, being the center of attention. Nice eyes, BKitten's selfy really looks annoyed XD

Needless to say more. Simple and clean, but catchy.

Extras
I found these people in Event Researcher's thread of the Romantic Quest.
Now I know why people crave those Senshi boots. You don't need to equip sets to get a highly original, stunning Selfy like Panda Aru's.
Bunny Von Grim's got a nice sense of item combination. Everything goes well, and the sizzling color scheme is so sexy *u* The asymmetrical hair cut--edgy!



SelFeature: Berry_azn

For his/her awesome Selfy style. First ever SelFeature on this blog goes to Berry_azn ! Grats.



Why did I choose that as a SelFeature?
Easy. Let's inspect the elements.

- Joker BG grey
- LSC yellow
- Halloween Wolf Ears white
- Sleepy Eyes grey
- Charming Boy Knit blue
- Charming Shoes blue
- Bunny Plush white
- WAW

Key: Color coordination, right accessories.

See how the eyes' color compliments the BG color. The Charming combination--are always nice. I like how he combines the ears and bunny plush, their pink-ness suit each other well! I never seen a guy selfy wearing white Halloween Wolf Girls ears, so I was surprised of how good Berry did it. The WAW fills in as a angelic . This selfy looks 'full', yet not over-accessorized. Wonderful!

Special Post-dition: Style for Guys

I was inspired to do some male fashion discussion cause my friend Dapboy complained that this blog only consists of female fashion. Okay, let's do something that will make Dapboy happy.

Sexism in TinierMe is kind of obvious. Hey, IRL fashion also goes around females more as well. I think that's because females can wear pants--publicly accepted-- but males cannot wear skirts in public, with exception to kilts and traditional clothings. Female clothing also can be varied and modificated in a hella lot of ways. 

So now, enjoy my guide on how to be the Stylish Guy of TinierMe.
(I am using my items most of the time, but if I don't have it, I'll use Dreamself.me)

THE JAPANESE GUY--samurai and such

YES, there are a lot of male Japanese-style items out there in TM. 

Classic look: the innocent swordsman with a sleepy tiger.

Tips: Never use a High Geta Sandals to males. Use normal getas or flats instead.
You can alternate colors too, like with reds or dark blues. 

The cool guy you met at the festival. He likes birds..and goldfishies. Add some more animalistic items and you can enter this into any Fashion Contest when the theme is Animals. Key: Composition and theme. Stick to the festiveness, if you want to.

Key: Silver-blue coordination never fails...when you do it right. Let's go moongazing! 


Ta-da! I made a Kenshin Himura. You are free to follow this outline XD

THE PARTY GUY--to balls, proms, and informal nights


Keep it simple--you don't really have to be extravagant. 

Up to a formal masquerade? Or you can remove the mask for a classic gentleman. 




For a Bond look. Key: Simple is the best. No need to over-accessorize!


Casual, cheerful effect enhanced by the bright colors~ and it's mostly CC. *Yay!*

THE (EXTRA) ORDINARY--Street clothing, casuals, typical IRL-wearable clothing


IRL wearable? Yes. I really suggest you to get one Half Pants with Suspenders, they can be paired up with nearly EVERY top. Top, like shirts and hoodies and tees. Not outfits.


Stripes doesn't always mean pajamas. You can combo the blue top and hood too, but no balloons to match. 

Red brings vitality. Don't overuse it though. 


Beach guy, complete with a pail and spade. Key: Yellow-blue combination works well. See how the icepop, hood, and pail color match. Plus points! Note: You can substitute the bottom with a Half Pants with Suspenders too.

THEMED CLOTHING--specific roles, occupations..


It's nice that TM's made some to-die-for guy clothing there in Devilishly Cute. Make use of them well. Omit the hat if you have a better substitute XD This is made from my own closet.
Tip: It's good for you to own one or more jackets of that type. 


The Bad Boy. I so love this prototype <3 

 Magical Saints gacha owns some wonderful guy clothing too. See Mr. Archer here? You can sub the bows to rapiers, swords, guns, etc. 

Casual(modern-day) fighter type. Yay for platform boots. CC items can be awesome too, huh?  P.S: This is mostly CC, 'cept the hair.
Classic, Victorian boy-type. Tip: Invest in some unisex/boy Vocaloid or BB eyes, since they won't ever appear in the Alchemy. 1925, Neru, Akuno Meshitsukai, Cantarella, Gothics, Fundoshi Akumalen works well. 

For a childish, classic look ;) Sailors FTW.
Carnival Rabbit Boy, ready to serve some customers. Hint: The black Carnival Boy sets (suit+ears) are pretty much wanted. Good investment, as long as they don't appear in the Alchemy.
Futuristic cyborg. TM gave these Cyborg items for free, so take advantage of it.
Military soldier, ready for war. Tip: You like to dress up like this? Invest in some double jackets and Melancholic items. And guns. 

I know most of boyish TM users won't even THINK of using...pastels. Whatever, it looks nice. 
Fairy tale child. 

This is for now, people. I'm tired. Making this post takes like six hours..
