Another Gold for Manikako!
The little ragdolls never cease to amaze us.
Again, congratulations to all the people who gave their hearts and souls to this project. We may have gone our own ways now, but Manikako will always bring us together.
To add music to the celebration, here’s Mistula with Salamat Sa Iyo, Manikako, translated for our friends abroad who still reached out, sent donations and supported our cause. You give us hope.

Manikako Sunday, MAAD Sunday
Sunday was full of dolls – not only of the stuffed kind, but also of the ball-jointed variety. Lugosi and I met old friends – and made new ones along the way.

WHOA.
Make that double WHOA.
Manikako’s MAAD Saturday
If you don’t see all 28 photos, please refresh your browser.
The day started with a locked bathroom. The owner of the house, Itsy, left for the gym, and left the luckless Manikako girls unable to take a shower. No one knew how the bathroom got locked – and no one knew how to open it. Trisha blamed the hungry ghosts; it is the Hungry Ghost month and the usually meticulously-swept Singapore is littered with offerings of food to dead ancestors. But the hungry ghosts cannot be bribed to open the bathroom and Manikako had to be at the red dot design museum at 10AM, so Gabie had to do this:

What a mad, MAAD weekend!

Manikako’s MAAD weekend at the red dot design museum was a blast. We had a fantastic time, thanks to all the friends who came, kept us company, brought dolls, bought dolls, made dolls and helped out at the booth. This weekend wouldn’t have been as mad without you.
