The Raggedy Army

ATTEN-HUT!

May twenty-nine, twenty-ten. Remember the date, ladies.

On May twenty-nine, all thirty of you will go out on a very important mission.

You are going out there to face the children.

Who knows what will become of you after this fateful encounter? A princess in rags, maybe. Or a policeman in pink. Those kids are capable of anything! Never underestimate them!

Show them what you’re made of!

You are made of love! You are made of hope!

YOU ARE MADE OF OLD T-SHIRTS!

Be brave! Stand proud! Let this mission transform you into instruments of creativity! You have the power to change!

You can change the world!

One doll at a time.

Are you done?

When you’re done playing, put all of the Manikako in the bag because Gabie is coming to pick them up for the Payatas charity workshop. Make sure all 30 are in there, Duende. Joey worked hard to make those Manikako and she’ll be very mad if one of them doesn’t make it to the workshop. Understood?

SIR, YES, SIR!

Manikako gives thanks by giving back. To celebrate its success, the Manikako team is going on a mission to teach upcycling and dollmaking to the kids of Payatas on May 29, 2010.
MANIKAKO WANTS YOU! Join the troops by leaving a message at the Manikako Facebook page, right here! ❤

Duende is the cutest army I’ve ever seen, it seems like Duende is the commanding officer of the ragged dolls which is his troops as well:)
Cute ways to dissiminate and invitations.
Uno is really soo charming.. i Love Him. it reminds me of Naokie Irie of Itazura na Kiss.
May 23rd, 2010 - 01:15
Er, Duende is a girl.
I’m not familiar with that anime, but thanks, anyways.
May 24th, 2010 - 09:27
oops.. sorry:(
May 25th, 2010 - 17:26
I wonder why you mistook her for a boy when she’s wearing pigtails?
May 26th, 2010 - 09:50
I’m Really Really sorry. i just mistyped it. i knew it in my mind that she’s a girl.
To Duende, pleae send my apologize to her,
May 26th, 2010 - 15:50
DON’T WORRY, BE HAPPY!
May 22nd, 2010 - 09:36
Uno’s hair *swoon*
Duende always makes me smile ^_^
May 23rd, 2010 - 01:16
Thank you!
May 22nd, 2010 - 15:05
Duende. <3 You're so cute. <3
Uno! Did you get a new wig? I almost didn't recognize you~ You look so…so dashing! I love it~ *_* <333
May 23rd, 2010 - 01:50
Thank you! This is my summer hair.
This can’t be the first time you’ve seen it! I know I’ve appeared on a previous post wearing the same hair.
Duende is cute. Must be why I put up with her antics.
May 23rd, 2010 - 07:23
I can’t honestly say if it is. I have a terrible memory. u///u
You’re such a sweetheart, Uno. <3 That's why everyone loves you. <3

The wonderful thing about life in the 21st century is that memories are encoded and recorded:

Fantastic, don’t you think?
May 24th, 2010 - 01:40
Indeed, very much so!
Huh… I feel awful, I’d completely forgotten about those entries! ;A;
Sorry, Duende…
May 25th, 2010 - 17:32
ARE YOU A GOLDFISH?
May 27th, 2010 - 00:13
I often like to think I am. =D
May 22nd, 2010 - 16:07
I melted at the sight of Uno. So handsome. <333
Duende's out on a mission to save the world again! Go Duende! Go Manikako!
May 23rd, 2010 - 02:06
Aiiie. Thank you very much.
Duende can only fire up the troops for now. As much as she wants to join them at the workshop, she can’t because Joey is not allowed to leave home!
May 22nd, 2010 - 19:11
Duende your so cute!! Go manikako!! Wow Joey your so great you make 30 of them!! awesome!! Nice hairstyle both of you Uno and Duende!!
May 23rd, 2010 - 02:12
Thank you! I can’t attend the workshop because of my present condition. So making the Manikako for the 30 child participants is my way of helping out.
May 22nd, 2010 - 19:22
LOLZ!!!XDXDXD Way to go with the peptalk Duende! That’s sure to lift the morale of your troops.:) Remember, we love you AND your hair!
We’re totally diggin’ that you decided to ditch the spikes, Uno.:D It’s…WOW. Really, I mean it. It’s totally awesome! Somehow, it emphasizes your facial features more. I hope you plan on keeping it for some time.
May 23rd, 2010 - 02:14
I’ll be keeping it for some time, because this hair takes Joey a lot less time and effort to fix.
Glad you like it! And Duende’s funky hair, too.
May 22nd, 2010 - 19:45
UNO! Stop giving girls heartthrob attacks, ok?
And I hope Duende didn’t get mixed up with the rest of them manikakos. You guys have probably heard this a million times, but she’s just so cute she could almost pass as one. ;P
May 23rd, 2010 - 02:26
I’m made of love! I’m made of hope! BUT I’M NOT MADE OF OLD T-SHIRTS!
May 23rd, 2010 - 02:36
Thank you, Sen! Say hi to Thack for me.
Hey, I’m not doing anything! I’m just … being myself.
May 24th, 2010 - 17:40
Actually, I’m in Taiwan with her. She insisted on bringing me here in a violin case of all things. So hey there Uno! You look like you’ve been doing well just being yourself.
Lucky bastard.
May 26th, 2010 - 16:06
A lot of doll owners like violin cases. I hope Sen (is that her name or is it Jaylyn Fae?) does not attack you with a violin bow and expect a legato.
May 23rd, 2010 - 01:54
GO RAGDOLL ARMY!! *salutes*
May 23rd, 2010 - 02:40
FORWAAAAAAARD, MARCH! ONE-TWO, ONE-TWO…
May 25th, 2010 - 00:19

May 26th, 2010 - 16:20
GO MANIKAKO!
May 26th, 2010 - 16:06
Those are the dolls we’ll use? Awesome!
ehem…
Sir! Expect a status report on Sunday, sir!
[ok, I fail at sounding military. I'm so excited for this weekend!]
May 26th, 2010 - 16:16
You’re joining the workshop! Totally awesome! If you see a kid who smiles like Ewan McGregor and sews like a grandmother, say hi to him for me. His name is Aaron. I hope all the Salt Payatas kids are doing good!
Have lots of fun, Tin! ❤
May 30th, 2010 - 07:06
Uno, looking good. Very, very good.
Good boy, literally. And wholesome. Not that you aren’t.
You just look it now.
… I’m liking it.
I’m also loving the plain white background against all those Manikako. ^_^
Please send Duende my warm regards. She’s gorgeous with her pretty haircut as well.
Looking forward to more of the snippets of life. ^_^
May 30th, 2010 - 21:00
There’s only a few good men left, and I’m proud to be one of them.
That’s Joey letting out her hairdressing dreams on poor Duende. Glad you think it looks good on her. (Rey thinks otherwise.)
May 30th, 2010 - 18:05
aha ! I knew it was Duende 8D I didn’t recognize her with the wig.
(and already commented on Manikako’s page)
… oh ! and Uno is looking sooo awesome, like always.

give my regards to the kids, and goodluck. and take care !
May 30th, 2010 - 21:09
Thank you very much, Nikki!
Yes, that’s Duende. She inherited my spikes.
June 9th, 2010 - 09:39
