Michiko-chan's Sparkly Bedazzlement

Hi,
My name is Michiko. I am the second Takara doll Je-Anne owns. I hope you'll like my photos. xoxo

P.S.
More to come!

Hitomi-chan's Sweet Spring

What are Takara dolls?

Here's what I've found on wikipedia. [See full article here]

Jenny (ジェニー Jenī?) is a 10½ inch fashion doll produced by Japanese toy company now known as Takara Tomy since 1982. The doll was known as Takara Barbie, and in 1986 the doll was renamed "Jenny" after Takara ended their licensing agreement with Mattel.[1] Takara Barbie differs from a western Barbie. Takara Barbie was altered to better appeal to Japanese preferences, and is shorter, her eyes are larger and rounder, the mouth is closed, and the doll's figure is more natural than the Western Barbie's exaggerated figure. Like her Western counterpart, Jenny wears a large variety of outfits, which often include street fashion, school uniforms, kimonos,[2] and other uniquely Japanese costumes, such as "Bullet-Train Stewardess Jenny".[3] Today the Jenny doll is a sentimental favorite doll in Japan, but she is much less popular than Licca-chan, Mattel's Barbie or MGA Entertainment's Bratz dolls.

P.S.
I am not that good in taking pictures. I only use camera phone and a bridge camera. Hopefully, I would be able to produce more high quality photos <3

Dolls, Plushies, and CandySushi

A doll is a part of every girl's life. I know no girl who doesn't like (or have liked) dolls when they're little. Sometimes, girl outgrow their dolls and some don't. I think I am one of them who did not totally outgrow them. I love them but not as much as I love the things that I get from toy claw games.

But one event changed everything (I think). I was cleaning my stored stuff on a weekend and found two Takara dolls. They're a bit dusty... and decided to take them out of the storage box to give them a new life, now with the grown-up me. I don't remember much about whoever gave me this, but at the back of my mind, there's a need for me to make them a part of me again... the grown up me, that is.

Moreover, the SO gave me a somewhat complete copies of Sailor Moon Episodes. Takara dolls look a lot like the Sailor Moon characters (prolly because they both originated from Japan).

Dressing them up gives the fun side of me, and taking photos of them gives more. A part of this blog will now be about my two little girls: Michiko and Hitomi.

Hello and warmest hugs to you <3
