Arno is heading back to France in a couple of weeks for good, so he came down to Carlsbad (San Diego) to visit me and see all my figures and displays. He wasn't sure he'd have time to visit, so it was a last minute plan. We missed our third musketeer Eva, but she's up in northern Cailfornia and busy with work right now. I haven't even connected with her much at all in the past few weeks. Arno came down on from LA on the train on Sunday morning. Though we were both exhausted from lack of sleep the night before, we had a really fun time. He got to meet all my boys (husband, dog, cat). We looked at the internet pics of the new statues and revamped figures, then I showed him all my displays, and customs and we talked about them for awhile. Finally, I showed him all extra figures, parts and planned customs. He laughed at how much stuff I have, even though I almost never customize! Mainly I have ideas, and often start things, but I have a hard time with my follow through. He inspired me to finally finish my Pylean Cordy custom. I howed him a few customizing techniques and closed a Xander mouth for him, though my light was bad and it looked kind of crappy. Arno took me to lunch and had made me an awesome chocolate cake/souffle thing. It was so amazing! His boyfriend is so lucky! Arno is a fabulous cook. I'll have to get the recipe for my husband. I finished the cake off at breakfast this morning. ;D Here are the pics: Arno and the cuddle couch: Arno and Angel's Alley: Arno being sweet to my baby:

LMAO! I look completely stone on those pics! My excuse? i went out the night before and didn't get much sleep!
I had a great day with Maria, and OH MY GOD: She has so much stuff! It's just CRAZAYYYY!!!!! And I thought I had stuff, man, that's barely anything compared to Maria! I was happy to inspire Maria to finish her Pylean Cordy which looks so much better than the DST one!
I am still recuperating from my week-end so I'll post later on about my field trip!

Arno and the cuddle couch: This is the greatest photo ever. LOL ;D Sounds like you two had fun! Hopefully I'll get to see The Maria Collection™ on my trip to Cali in May. Though it's a shame I won't get to meet you, Arno! Maria talks about you all the time and it sucks we won't get a chance to hang out. Perhaps one day...

Yes, I totally forced him to pose with the Cuddle Couch. I think he can see his resistance to it on his face, though, in his defense, it was the end of the day and he was exhausted.
I love that Cuddle Couch, though it kind of perplexes my husband:
My husband: "What is Angel doing? Humping Lorne?"
Me: "No! They're cuddling! Cuddling, you perv."

They are relaxing on the cuddling couch, even though Angel looks a little constipated! Arno and the cuddle couch: This is the greatest photo ever. LOL ;D Sounds like you two had fun! Hopefully I'll get to see The Maria Collection™ on my trip to Cali in May. Though it's a shame I won't get to meet you, Arno! Maria talks about you all the time and it sucks we won't get a chance to hang out. Perhaps one day... I wish there were a con for us where we can all meet and have fun...Oh well, maybe if you'll ever come to France we'll meet there! ;D

Angel's just intimidated by Riley's big muscles. He certainly can't compete with those!

We don't seem to have any rabid arguments breaking out in here, and nobody's been booted off here as of yet (to my knowlege), so it would be a fun time indeed. Maria, those are some awesome looking playsets. I think it's kind of scary how you and I both have the Moore display base, and both of us have Spike and Dru displayed on them. I guess the display just goes with them. I'm dying to move into my new house(May! Woo Hoo!!!) so that I can get serious about getting my figures displayed.

I had such a wonderful day at Maria's, it was being in Action Figures Heaven! Maria even gave me extra figures she had no use for!
Merci!
