While I have no particular desire to own such a thing, nor, in general, a particular pull towards the aesthetic in question, something about this puzzled, worried and very blonde doll utterly mesmerizes me. And it's largely sola's fault, for pointing me to the existence of such things in the first place.

And yes, if $800 porcelin dolls are going to exist, I think it perfectly suitable that they should look like an anime version of Lucius Malfoy, age 20, why do you ask?

And, in a seriously damaged leap of logic, I also take this opportunity to offer you Snakes on a Plane haiku and other poetry: http://www.snakesonablog.com/2006/03/05/snakes-on-a-poem-ii/ (in fact the totality of Snakes on a Blog is hillarious, if you're into that sort of thing).

The Dream Of Doll D.O.T. dollfies (http://www.ecinter.net/frontstore/main/sub_catalog.asp?spin=y&mother=yes&catalog_num=786&mart_id=hoo933) (as they're called) are my favourites. I've no desire to own one, but they are so beautiful.

I don't know why those dolls creep me out. Or maybe it's not the dolls, it's the people I met who carried them around on their shoulders all night at parties, and talked about their dolls; lives as if the dolls were far more of interest than themselves.

And if that one looks like a young Malfoy, then the other one on the front page of that side at http://www.tensiya.com/ looks frighteningly like a young Snape.

They're made of a hard resin, actually, that can be filed and shaped to customize the dolls if the owner wishes.

Gosh. She's all victorian androgyny and dignity. I've never seen anything like her and I used to, being an enormously dorky child, go to doll shows.

Why are the rims of the eyes so red?

Damn. Somewhere at my mother's house I have a doll that was amde to look exactly like my aunt, in a tiny replica of her wedding dress.

Y'know, three *wibbles* in 24 hours is probably bad for my blood pressure...

Heh. I'd apologize, but i'm very much not sorry. I already have plans for four definite, two probable, and another three or four just for pleasure.


And i spent a month looking for correct wigs and eyes, for serious.
