Building Sandcastles for World Domination

While other dolls prefer to be cloistered inside glass boxes or air-conditioned rooms, Veritas begs to differ. Veritas is a beach girl, and she loves to have fun out in the sun.



Ah, this is the life.

A few weeks ago, Veritas went on holiday in Boracay, one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Philippines. There, she spent delightful days sunbathing, hanging out with the locals and building sandcastles.

Boracay’s powder-fine sand will make a grand castle.

I’m going to build an empire!

… This is a lot harder than I thought.


Ahoy! Mateys!


I must not fall over or my empire shall fall.

Manong builds sandcastles in Boracay for a living. Now that’s hard work.

I’m here to give him much-need moral support.

I need more workers here.

Hey, guys! Come out and play!
Veritas sends love and sunshine to Nicky, who gave her the beautiful White Rose Collection swimsuit she’s wearing. Thank you very much, Nicky!

Aw, Veri, you make me want to hit the beach! Too bad the beaches in Okinawa aren’t as pretty. I should really go visit you guys someday. X3

We’d love to go to Okinawa, too! Joey’s grandfather lived there for a while.
You have to come visit us! Uno will be your personal tour guide.

February 22nd, 2007 - 16:10
Aw, you flatter meeeee.
February 19th, 2007 - 06:52
You look so grown up in that swimsuit, Veri~
February 22nd, 2007 - 16:41
Grown-up as in … matronly? All the skimpy swimsuits belong to Manx!

If there’s one thing I love this shoot, it’s how alive Veri-chan is here XD I could actually imagine her moving and making sandcastles herself!
Veri-chan, you’re an absolute beach darling! XD You look so much in your element!
February 22nd, 2007 - 16:46
HEY. I did make the sandcastles myself! What were you thinking?
But thanks for the compliments, anyways.
February 19th, 2007 - 16:40
Oh wow these pictures are sooo gorgeous!! What a beautiful beach
I am sure the huge sandcastle will be finished in no time with Veritas help
February 22nd, 2007 - 16:57
Thanks to my moral support and encouragement, it was finished in no time!
February 19th, 2007 - 17:53
Baby Veri! X3
February 22nd, 2007 - 17:23
eL! Let’s go to Boracay!
February 19th, 2007 - 21:06
So cute. ^^ That’s the spirit Veritas! Show the guys moral support
February 22nd, 2007 - 18:43
That and I can claim credit for that grand sandcastle.
February 20th, 2007 - 01:23
I’m so amused at how those folks are taking Veritas’ presence so naturally. And how awesome is that place? I will definitely visit you guys someday.
February 22nd, 2007 - 18:57
If you live in Boracay, I think you can tolerate any kind of presence. The beach attracts creatures of every form.
We’ll look forward to your visit!
February 20th, 2007 - 02:24
Wow, I wish I could have seen that sand castle.
Manong is very talented.
Beautiful day to hit the beach! And Veri, you’re so cute! *peck*
February 22nd, 2007 - 19:04
You mean you can’t see the sand castle? It’s right there! *points*
Thanks, Jay!

Beach babe Veritas!
ever consider being a lifeguard?:p
(but that’s kind of contradictory to your goal of world domination, I guess.XD)
February 22nd, 2007 - 19:08
Nah. I have no intentions of working with David Hasselhoff.
February 20th, 2007 - 06:26
Miss Veritas is so adorably lovely in these pictures and I love how she’s happily posing with the sand artist
Heehee! I love all your destination photos, Joey! Makes me want to visit one day ^_^
February 22nd, 2007 - 19:13
Eeeeeeee, please do! We’d so love to meet you! X3
February 20th, 2007 - 20:28
That’s a gorgeous empire, Veritas. But not as gorgeous as you are~ You look great with the sands. *w*
February 22nd, 2007 - 19:14
Aw, if you were a guy, I’d let you buy me a drink.
February 20th, 2007 - 23:22
wow…I wonder how many people would wantto work as sandcastle builders… I agree, Veritas is one of the most laagan* BJDs in the world

“Sand Castle Builder” is right up there with “Siopao Dotter” as one of my favorite professions!
Yep, I like to go places.
March 12th, 2007 - 10:31
is siopao dotter a specialization in the field of food tasters?
February 21st, 2007 - 07:49
wow! for a living? that’s great!! XD ah Veritas, i’m sure you’ll find more minions there when it’s summer.
February 22nd, 2007 - 19:23
It’s Bohol for me this summer!
February 21st, 2007 - 14:05
Wow. That “Boracay Island” thing is so cool. It looks just like plastic in its fine-ness!
February 22nd, 2007 - 19:23
Boracay sand is amazing. It’s always cool and comfortable.
February 25th, 2007 - 08:26
Your dolls get to see more sights then most people would! X3 I love the cool, soft colors in these shoots. Ahoy, Veri, lend me some sunshine!
