Jewels, Jewels, Jewels!
Sunday, February 14th, 2010Apparently my spending powers increased for now and so I am able to afford Jewels for my Poupee. Imagine my excitement when I managed to (brainwash) ask my brother if he can give me Jewels for my Christmas gift. He did give in, and so I was on my way to spoiling my pixelated self rotten with Jewel items!
Awesomeness!
Kawaii! <3
Just a few of my pixelated purchases. They are not purely Jewels bought items, some Ribbon items are mixed in as well. Also there’s the ongoing Valentine event (as evidenced by my sweet themed lolita). At any rate, I’m looking forward to more events in the future, as long as my means in acquiring Jewels remain secure.
Check out the lovely Valentine’s event background!
Of course, why would I like to spend money on pixelated item…it really boggled my brother’s mind. You could probably ask that about any person who would like to spend money on internet necessities like for their MMORPGs ingame currencies and the like. It’s no different. It may be childish in some way, but collecting stuff in real life could also be seen as childish for others as well right? To each their own I guess.
Here’s to more Jewel purchases!

Poupee Addict
Wednesday, August 19th, 2009These past few days I’ve been saving up a lot fo Ribbons for my Poupee Girl. Ribbons are the currency of the Poupee world. Ribbons yoiu can use to buy clothes/accessories, change the way you look, as well as buying wallpapers to decorate your Poupee home. I am waiting for the day it will allow Poupees to buy stuff for their homes and make it tons cuter. XD anyway as I was saying, I was like a madwoman these past few days collecting Ribbons. And look! XD
Hmm dunno if you can enlarge the picture, but then if you can, it says I have 469 Ribbons already. LOL. Enough to buy a lot of stuff! Well…almost. Poupee Girl has released a new currency called Jewels…it’s like Ribbons but more expensive than Ribbons. Ribbons you can get for free - there used to be an option where you can buy Ribbons using Paypal and other services the Japanese Poupee owners could use, and it nets the Ribbon buyer lots of cool and nifty rare items, but now the Jewels have taken over this “role”. You buy Jewels using those services and Poupee Girl is seeking to integrate a Jewels buying system with the same rewards you can get from buying Ribbons. Of course, you can get Jewels by exhanging your Ribbons, with 10 Jewels = 25 Ribbons exchange rate. I think it’s OK, but then it becomes reeally expensive when you want to buy really cute Jewel items - items that can be bought by Jewels exclusively. A lot of Poupee owners are still getting used to the idea, but some of them bemoan that it’s too expensive for their taste. I probably will too, but me being a Poupee owner who’d buy stuff if I find it really cute or worth saving up for…I’m safe for now. For now I;m very busy saving up for those REALLY cute yukata at Poupee’s summer festival event. Excuse me while I go do so. XD

***EDIT***
OK I think I misread the Jewels thing. You can exchange Jewels for Ribbons, not the other way around. >.>;; So there isn’t any Ribbons exchange going on for Jewels. Which makes me really sad. ;A; Well you can get Jewels through buying them with Paypal, credit cards, and services only made for Japanese Poupee owners like sponsor sites and through Ameblog’s Amegold service, among others. I have created an Ameblog account for trying to get my luck with Jewels bought with Amegold, but sadly enough, someone on the Poupee Girl livejournal community noted that the Amegold foreigners could bet on is a travesty upon itself.
LOL
Saturday, March 14th, 2009Wow got myself some new widget for my blog here! It may not be much but I find it cute lol. I am planning to put all those puppets in all my blogs!! Oh, and this just happened after my birthday too…happy birthday me! XDXDXD Gaaahh, on another side note, I think Poupee Girl is becoming more and more expensive…seriously, if I just know how to pay from a Paypal account I will buy Ribbons for more items. It’s not just me that finds Poupee expensive, some Poupees are staging “naked” protests these days…proof that it is also getting on their nerves…too many events, too little Ribbons! ToT

Poupee Girl
Wednesday, September 17th, 2008Poupee Girl is a Japanese-language widget that acts as a mini fashion shoot for your Poupee (or avatar) - you get to dress them up with clothes you buy for your Poupee. Not only that, you also get to buy accessories, bags, shoes, makeup for your Poupee as well! You can also customize their looks by purchasing makeup, hair style and hair color. All items in the Poupee world are bought by their currency called as “Ribbons”. Ribbons are hard to get by, but by posting “Snapshots” - pictures of your Poupee - and commenting on other Poupee owners around Japan (and I believe the entire world), you get free Ribbons. Visiting Poupee profiles also gets you Shells which you could collect and sell for extra Ribbons. Best of all, if you are in dire need of cash, you could recycle your Poupee stuff for shells to sell in the marketplace in the Community.
Buying stuff for your Poupee could be looked at the Community area of the Poupee World, where other Poupees sell their stuff that they don’t want anymore for extra Ribbons. This is really good because there are items that you could canvass and look for specific Ribbon price tags. Some of teh clothes and otehr accessories could be had at bargain prices there, than what you could normally pay them for - it helps to search through all teh items. Also, like the IMVU 3D chat, you could also pay for Ribbons via credit card or Paypal (not too sure with IMVU though) and shop to your hearts content. Buying Ribbons through this method also nets the user several limited edition items for their Poupee.
It’s 2D and all, but it’s quite addictive. Aside from posting Poupees, since this is super fashionable Japan we’re talking about here, Poupee Girl is also a place wherein Poupee owners can showcase their own clothes and accessories (like a photo blog of some sort) and their Poupee friends could vote on them for being cute and comment on each individual photo there. Poupee friends or visitors can rate the cuteness and upgrade their ranking by clicking on the “Suteki!” button (”suteki” is kinda “like”/”love” in Japanese).
