EEEEEEE, you and me both <3

Woah! I was gunna bid more on this guy. But I'm excited to see him as a Suit! Congrats. Can't wait!

Well you'll have a second chance to own him later on :D

I just wanna work on him nooooooow :'D

ZOMG >_> do wants

reminds me of the lions we see round here this time of year. always wanted to do lion dancing, though with my hip injuries itll be a while before i can do anything that strenuous.

which also reminds me gotta find out when the lunar new year is >.< not year of the dragon, so maybe thats why im not having a good year XD

You guys just have lions running around? Why are you ll not dead yet?! XDDD

XD sorry lion dances* XD traditionally round the lunar new year hawaii has A LOT of lion dance events. and usually theres a few dragon dances as well. :3

Ala moana (our main mall) has a event where all the different clubs/schools that do lion dancing come to ala moana and perform. a lot of the lion dancing revolves around good luck for the new year,traditionally the stores would have the money at the top of their doors, but for ala moana they tone it down and usually just go into the store to the counter or they use a wooden pole and line XD. you can also give the lion money and he eats it (for good luck!) :) fire crackers are another way to scare away the bad and bring in a good new year though with the new ban on fireworks in hawaii its been devistating to the local cultures :(

Lion dancing actually has some story aspects but there are different acts/dances for different occasions including contests where they dance on poles up in the air like 15 ft. The colors on the lions have traditional roots and character meanings and theres two diff regional styles of lion dances, here we see a lot of southern. Its really awesome because the heads have LEDs and blinking eyes and moving ears and the tails usually are on springs. >w<

In college i did a lot of ethnomusicology and for some strange reason ive fallen in love with performing chinese and indonesian cultural music. =3 i also do/did martial arts but im biased for japanese karate while chinese lion dancing involves a lot chinese styles.

Here's some fun videos:

whoa

Aww I saw him and wanted to bid but didn't have the funds. Glad you're building him.

I can't wait to start <3

"He'll be up for sale later on in the year!"

BRB SQUIRRELING MY MONEY AWAY!

What a fantastic term XDDD

In my excitement I almost totally screwed it up and said "squirreling away like a squirrel." Even for a furry that's a bit too squirrely. XD

No one person should possess that much squirrel

Can't wait to see this one come to life!

Its going to be very soon :D
