( The rest this way. )

I went to Build-a-Bear Workshop with a friend today in honor of her birthday and immediately became entranced by the Tan Swirl Bunny. It seemed so irresistible with its uber-soft (I know, lame) fur and long, floppy ears. Plus, it was $2 cheaper than the other bunny they offered, whose eyes I couldn't even see due to all of its fur. Before my friend and her other guest had picked out their animals, I had made my decision.

Her name is Migu (I decided to leave out the hyphen), after the indie J-rock band spearheaded by Yuko Araki. She's 16 inches tall, weighs 9 ounces, and has brown swirled fur and brown eyes. And yes, she likes to play the drums. =)

After completing the heart ceremony and stuffing, we chose clothes. Since BABW has yet to put out lolita fashions, I decided on a set comprised of a light-green top edged with lace and a pair of coordinating bermudas (and even checked Limited Too for the matching outfit for me, but to no avail). Finally, I found a pair of hibiscus ear-bands which seemed at first to go perfectly, but I realize now that perhaps Migu could have gone without them.

As I attempt to situate her on my shelf, it comes to me that I might have pumped in a slight bit too much stuffing, as she is unable to sit unless she is propped up against something. Also, it appears the sole of her left foot was sewn on in such a way that causes that foot to turn slightly sideways. Nonetheless, Migu is a wonderful bunny whom I hope to enjoy for a long time.

Photos coming as soon as I receive my digital camera. ^^
