I love this style of "pose doll"... I finally got one last year. Couldn't resist the bright orange hair!
Recently in Japanese Fashion Dolls Category
Several new Alice (of Wonderfland fame) coming down the pipes... the catch is that they are LE or very hard to get. Sad meh!
Classic Alice - Koron: from Azone, LE edition for Amazon.co.jp ONLY
Black Alice - Lien: from Azone, LE edition for Amazon.co.jp ONLY
And then there is Volks' Owners Appreciation Event in Kyoto for March 2010... which is rumored to be Alice themed. Lots of pix on DoA!
NOTE: If anyone is going and willing to give a try for the Alice YO for me, please contact me by commenting here. I'm in love with her bushy eyebrows ^_^
Lets hope we can look forward to more easily available Alices and Friends next year with Tim Burton's release "Alice in Wonderland." Both Tonner and Medicom are slated to collections related to the film!
Meow, meow, meow!
I've never wanted a Licca Castle "jenny" so much in my life. I've been coveting a little side-glancing Judy forever.
Mr. Kallisti and I had already developed an affection for Jonathan Ross after watching his highly affectionate series from the 80's on cult film The Incredibly Strange Film Show that included in depths on John Waters and Russ Meyer among others.
Recently we ran across his Japanorama series. News to us, don't know how familiar non-brits are with this series, we've been spellbound all week with his presentation and enthusiasm for the subject, including eighteen episodes spanning three seasons over six years. Beneath his dapper English exterior, and charming lisp, he is a self proclained Otaku, and his enthusiasm for all things Japanese, especially robots, is contagious.
"JAPANOWAMA! LOOK! I'm widing an electwic panda!!!"

Best houseguests EVAR. Junk shopping, Kaiju popping, Okonomiyaki flipping happy goodness. Paul & Melissa.
Sunday was super hot so we had an impromptu Film Fest, with banana shakes and sundry other boozes. Once the sun went down Paul got to work in the kitchen and made a series of Okonomiyaki (Japanese pancake-like griddled dish) of ever increasing complexity and awesomeness. The Grande Finale was Octopus & Hamhock— or, HAMHOCKTOPUS—that bloo my mind. For real, it was superb! Whoddathunkit???

Pose Doll by Melissa! She is so dreamy, I will name her and play dress-up for DAYS. More, better pictures to come!
And last but not least, Mr. Kallisti has spent the last few months dissecting vintage Kappa, analyzing how they were made, and recreating the art of Kappa Kraft!
Film Fest for the Aging Hipsters:
Pureneemo!
I'm soooo 2007, but excited I'm finally getting a Pureneemo. NYAH! Chiika is my favorite, with her pouty face.
Don't know if this is their first boy, but HELLO, NAUGHTY BOY! is scrummy!
Notes from husband are cute: 
"When I said I didn't want anything for Valentine's Day, I lied." Was a message I left on Mr. Kallisti's VM yesterday.
Har-Har.
He was so awesome, ran down in the midst of a hail storm, returned w/ black pleather + vinyl Hello Kitty dolly & a huge bouquet of roses and daisies. Sigh.
Watch the video--and marvel at the GIMP KITTIES!!!!!!!!
Now, to get some of that lipgloss.
Big THANK YOU to friend of my boss who forwarded the link & video. ♥
