Is this a dagger which I see before me?

The handle toward my hand?



No, it's not a Lady MacBeth doll. It's Kyoto Oren Susie, designed by my good buddy Rudi Teruel, he of R&D Dolls. Susie is a world-traveler, and many of the dolls so far are named after exotic locales. This is the first Susie to come with her own weaponry though, which is what attracted Tikistitch's attention. Here's a closeup of her face. The detail on this doll is amazing! Look at the design on the lining of her kimono.

Wrapped in Plastic

The key to our heart? No, much too big, as Tikistitch's heart is actually two sizes too small. Actually, it belongs to Jun Planning's legendary Pullip Fanatica. We here at Tikistitch International Holding Company ordered her aeons ago, back in the Cretaceous period, when giants still roamed the earth. Now, of course, she's going for 5 jillion dollars plus your first-born child on eBay. Why all the fuss? Well, we are forced to admit that she is indeed a rather kewl doll. She has very pretty facial coloring, plus an awesome punkish outfit. (Her collector card actually says "I *heart* punk, tho' she looks a bit more on the EGL side than the Johnny Rotten side to us.) She comes swathed in innumerable layers of plastic, over the doll, between the outfit and the doll, between the doll and the box, and basically whereever they could wrap it, which leads us to question whether they now have murderous psychopaths running Jun Planning.

Of course, she comes with an insert, telling you about the next doll you'll never find.

Stop me before I meme again!!!

1. Total amount of music files on your computer:

Robyn Hitchcock - Spooked

3. What is the song you last listened to before reading this message?

Lawyers, Guns, and Money - The Wallflowers version, from Enjoy Every Sandwich, the Music of Warren Zevon

4. Write down 5 songs you often listen to or that mean a lot to you.

Only 5? Eh.

1. I See a Darkness - Johnny Cash. One of the scariest songs I know, in it's scariest version. I could actually list all 5 as Cash songs. Cash rules. His interpretations of songs have gotten me into a lot of aritists I've criminally ignored 'til now. R.I.P.
2. I Want You Back - The Jackson 5ive. Their first, and still their best. Motown doesn't get any purer.
3. Heffalups and Woozles - from Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day. As with J. Cash, I could make a list that was exclusively Disney music. This is one I associate with a psychedelic cartoon interlude when I was a kid.
4. Waters Part - Let's Active. My favorite obscure song from my favorite obscure band. I got to see Mitch & the girls perform back in the daze. They were the poufiest band around.
5. Sister I Need Wine - Guided by Voices. Why wasn't Isolation Drills a top 40 record, instead of Britney Spears and her screechy ilk? There is no justice.


5. Who are you going to pass this stick to? (3 persons) and why?

1. Anita, 'cause she's my bestest friend
