on the cover: This issue’s chosen cover model is the adorable bunny . She wore a preppy ensemble for this shoot and she looked absolutely cuter than the bears at the teddy bear gacha area. She’s very friendly so props her and ring her room when you see her! ♥

editor’s note
HELLO OLD FRIEND! We’re back! We apologize for the looooooong hiatus. After a number of setbacks (broken computers, lost files and busy schedules) we have finally (omg finally!!) finished another issue of PICO PROPS MAGAZINE. A few seasons have already passed but we are thankful that there are still those who patiently waited, sent us encouraging mail and never gave up on us *sniff*. Well, enough of the dramatics! We are thrilled to present this issue’s special feature about Colors. Our paparazzi snapped a few fashionistas in their color-themed ensembles and you can find out about what your favorite color may say about you or your mood. On page 16 is the awesome <MissLindaK> -one of the friendliest and coolest picos we’ve ever met. She’s also a style chameleon which makes her perfect as our first Style Spotlight feature. Thanks for your support and Enjoy!

hello im satara , my pico's name is pompom raw. you can call me raw. when someone ask my name @ newbie park, and i answer it honestly.. ' my pico's name is pompom raw. you can call me raw ' then i use 'hello' answer to greet them but their reaction ? their laugh as much as they can, they said my pico's name is really odd. they dont know about my pico's name philosophy. when i making a name for somethin' just like my pet in pet society @ facebook, that name have philosophy too.. but know. i wanna tell you about my pico's name philosophy. pompom raw. first, pompom. do you know pompom ? of course, the things that the cheerleaders use for supporting a match right? yeah right. do you know why i named my pico pompom? pompom is thing that is colourful and make someone energized, just like when we're on basketball match, the cheerleader use pompom to support us.. so i choose pompom as my pico's firstname. oh , pompom is cute, thats the other reason . second. raw. raw? BWAHAHAH what the. much people ask me to change that odd name .but i dont want to. let me see. r-a-w , read it backward w-a-r. war? no one loves war. my reason making my pico's name raw is, i hope theres no war again in the world, in pico's world, cause sometimes i saw fight in pico life. for example : at ooku hallway, only 5 picos sitting calmly on the cushion. and everyone thats standing and some pico's that hummiliating was on fight. im really tired of that. done, im not rich, im not buying ameba gold, but i earn it sometimes, a little of ameba gold. im not in relationship, no im not, im happy being alone but sometimes being lonely im not good at casino, my casino dollar is really small amount. but im happy to be me, as me. thanks mr semaphore, im waiting for your good news, im really want my face on your COOL magazine :)) sincerely satara/ pompom raw :3

SMALL ROOM DILEMMA
I have a small room. I dunno how to decorate it to look it good the space is small. I need tips. markie, by email
A good room doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be big. You can try decorating it by reducing clutter. The less objects, more floor space you have. Use what is functional (like sofa, table, chairs). You can strategically place your decor in a way that it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t block your pico from walking from one place to another. Adding floors gives you more area for your furnitures. Setting the upper floors higher makes it look less cramped. You can also create a theme for your room - for example: food, egypt, beach, anime, pixel art, etc.- to make it fun. A small space is definitely a challenge to decorate but a little effort and patience is all you need to make it look pretty and livable.
<< This easy breezy (covergirl!) room by Lani&P is simple, clean and beautiful. 12
(above) A very creative way to decorate a room. Who would’ve thought that this room is small? SASUKE’s room is super cute! >> This black tower by Nekonini is a great example of how to effectively make a room look bigger by adding floors. It looks so spacious! 13

DO YOU HA
Don’t you just love clicking a pico’s URL to see what’s on the link? Some have youtube of their favorite videos or a link of their favorite website. It’s not uncommon to see a personal blog especially dedicated to their own picos. Some of these blogs or sites however stand out from the rest. Here we have a few of these pico-centric sites that we enjoy!
Benry’s Official Facebook Page ( http://www.facebook.com/Benry.Rocks ) Why we love it: The welcome page just draws you in with the beautiful layout and Benry’s cute face we had to click LIKE as soon as we saw it. He gives updates of soon-to-come items and interacts with his many fans. The best part is reading the comments- his fans and friends leave the funniest/ wittiest comments and we love it! Rex’s Pico Blog ( http://ameblo.jp/ameba-pico-blog ) Why we love it: Personally managed by Rex A, this is a helpful blog for Japanese players of Ameba Pico. She translates all the infos in pico from English into Japanese and even updates the players through her facebook and twitter. Plus, we love that she takes effort in making graphic design for each posts and having a very organized and super cute blog layout, too. C’mon! how cool is that?! Cube Simulation by maku ( http://pico.maku-pro.net/ ) Why we love it: It’s an Ameba Pico room simulator where you can practice your block design for your room! You can choose from the different sizes of blocks, colors and shape. Genius, I tell you! This site is so awesome. 18

PROBLEM 1: Y U NOISY?!
You’re busy chatting with your friend. You’re typing so fast that the text bubbles are overlapping. Oh, what’s that? Your friend gave you the blog link of your crush but you can’t find it on the flooded chat box because it keeps scrolling up. What would you do? a. Walk up to that annoying pico who keeps flooding the chat box with PROPS ME PLZ PROPS ME PROPS ME and ask her to shut up. b. Shyly approach the noisy group of picos at the corner of the park and ask them to kindly tell them “can you please shut up?” ANSWER: None of the above. It’s rude to tell people to shut up. Doncha know that you can mute other players? The mute button is your friend.
PROBLEM 2: Y U DO DAT???
Some random kid approached you and called you names, insulted your country and said some bad words that should be censored. What to do? a. “Ya messin’ with me? huh?? U want war?? Bring it on! Imma give u war you @%*$ little piece of...” b. Cry and call your friends for back-up then take revenge. ANSWER: None of the above again. While it’s wrong for someone to do those mean things to you, it’s still not a good idea for the fight to escalate. There’s a Report button for incidents like this. Paste their name, conversation and screencap on the report form as proof. Don’t forget that the mute button is your friend! If the little bugger won’t stop and follows you to your room, the kick button is also very useful.
PROBLEM 3: Y U BAN ME??
Your buddies are doing this trick that you didn’t even know was possible. After asking them how, you downloaded the program that can override the codes of the game then paraded at the park to show-off your giant pico (or giant head, gender changing, etc.). Everyone’s looking at you, you’re so cool woohoo your new trick is so magical. Then *poof* you get an error and can’t login on Pico anymore. a. Tell the admins ”why u ban me? i did not cheat! promise! give my account back” b. Threaten pico “I’ll never EVER play pico again! It’s ur loss coz I always buy 10000000000 golddssssss! I am rich!” ANSWER: Dude, it’s against the Terms of Service of Ameba Pico to use those programs. You know that but you still tried coz you think you won’t get caught. Unfortunately, you went to a crowded park where people can see, printscreen and report you. No button can save you!!
