Central New Jersey ABJD Meetup, Ken Buchanan Waterfront Park, Sunday, 5/18/2025

We had our Central New Jersey doll meet today. It was a small one, but it was a good time. The weather was pretty nice, but it was a little bit too windy at times. Admittedly, I may have to rethink where the meet happens or take wind into account equally as much as the rain. We may have had about 18MPH winds today, and it was a bit too much for the dolls.

But while the meet happened, it was a pleasant, scenic day. Lady BlackWillow brought her cute MSD girls and an MSD Rurouni Kenshin lookalike. I brought my Iplehouse SID Eva and my JID Kassia. This is Kassia's first time out, and it's a preview of Eva being Kassia's mommy. Kassia isn't born yet, but I wanted to do a little something featuring the two of them. Eva enjoyed a pleasant afternoon in her beach chair reading her Ellen DeGeneres book. She was wearing the Iplehouse nYID outfit, the Cool White set. It wasn't made for SID, but I got it working. It was hard to pull the shorts up past her thighs and tushie, but they fit well once they got up higher. I was able to get the top on without too much trouble after removing Eva's head and arms. It fits her pretty well, and it's less prone to wardrobe malfunctions than it was on my nYID Olivia. Kassia was wearing one of the outfits that she originally came with when I got her secondhand. I added the shoes, too. I'm not sure about the fishnets on such a little girl, but the dress is pretty long. I'll probably skip the fishnets next time. I also brought a McFarlane Toys action figure, Haunt. I had a little bit of fun with him for one picture before it got too windy.
