Just when I am punished and cannot shop. I might have to sell something to get these girls though, Oshare Style Fashion Girls:

That's right, they're fashion dolls by Takara. Mmmmm!!! Helene's posted the full page from Dolly Dolly 5, clicky here! They're gonna be about $60, ouch! Especially compared with the $35 Rune girls. But they are 25cm, so a bit smaller than Jenny and a bit taller than Licca. I imagine licca sized body with the head? Oh boy. Available November from HLJ.com.

And then, better pix of the Sweet Girls. Mmmmmm.

And the October, November, December Calandar girls.

"La Reine Rose." Random tiny cute doll from Takara found on HLJ.com. There are a bunch of them, but only one pic. For October Release.

There is nothing like unexpected prezzies from a stranger (!) to make a bad day better. Fifi recieved the most beeyootiful gift in the mail today from Andrea, a gorgeous long coat!

Must be seen to be believed, I'm totally flubbergusted! It is great almost peacock feather pattern fabric with purple velveteen cuffs and collar and is lined in pink satin and has real pockets! Aieeeeeee! And the fit is beautiful. Thanks again, Andrea!

More pix below, please clicky:

Cuz everyone keeps bringing them up! Here's me in a Redd Kross t-shirt, circa 1989-1990, dancing in a field in the Marin Headlands. Too bad the pix are in black and white, because I had very deep, bright raspberry hair. Mmmm.

Dancing with Shannon:

The tshirt has an afro lady with the words "Redd Kross" in her fro on the front, and a psychedelic pic of Cher on the back saying "Friends of Cher." Oh, how we loved Redd Kross! Used to see them all the time. How we loved them, mwror.

Also Shannon and I were roommates for nine years. She's the awesome feral kitten wrangler I got Biscuit from.

Only cuz the expression is priceless.

If you were a cat!

(clearly, I'm bored)

New, Improved "TastyBite Ready Meals" instant Indian & Thai fud in foil packets! I liked it before, but now it comes with a snack tray for nooking and a spoon for eating. It's vegetarian AND it tastes good and is good for ya. Right now they're packaging them with a $1 coupon (and they're only $2.70 at TJ's already) + 30% off if you order $30 or more from the website (w/ coupon in box). We're thinkin' of ordering a bunch for our unemployment bunker, along with toilet paper and cocktail olives. It might keep me off the hot dogs for a while. Ha!

<<= I'm eating this now. It doesn't suck!

Oh wow, that was good.

Picture me jumping up and down waiving fist in air, and then read this:

Capitol unwilling to pay bill on bridge Bay Area lawmakers reject governor's latest proposal

Arnold is refusing to help pay for The Bay Bridge cost over runs, saying that the rest of California shouldn't have to foot the bill. His great idea was to divert a recent bridge toll hike that was slated for local roadways/freeway improvement. Now, he offers money to tear down what has already been built. Sorry, The History Channel has already done a documentary on it, can't tear it down now. For those who don't know, the Oakland span of the Bay Bridge is the one that had a deck collapse during the '89 earthquake. That was, um, fifteen years ago.

WELL. I think the rest of California can just GIVE BACK ALL OUR FUCKING WATER and we'll keep all our cool high tech gadgets to ourselves. Southern California can just turn back into the desert it once was. *waiving fists in air*

Ferchrissakes. It is the BUSIEST BRIDGE IN THE COUNTRY. But isn't a state problem!?!? Like all those li'l worker bees that don't fit into San Francisco don't pay 30% of their li'l waiges into state and federal coffers.

Cough it up, bitch. That is all.

*so mad*
