Wrapped in Plastic

[tikistitch]

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.

that's what passes for punk in Japan--add plaid to an GL outfit and poof! punk lolita! unhuh. It's very cute!

*envy*

I waffled and missed out on my chance to get Fanatica. Now I'm waffling over whether to try and order a second release... rumor has it that the second-release Fanatica will have yellow and black plaid.

Speaking of psychopaths, I'm impressed that her little dolly isn't stirring up more of a fuss... on her bio card, it says that it's a "Hell doll" that will join her on a trip to the pits of hell as she rocks out to the concert music.

Plaid!!! I'm getting visions of droves of little Scottish punkettes.

Go straight to hell, little dollie! We oughta send your translation to Rev. James Dobson (the one who's crusading against Sponge Bob), to see if we can make him burst a blood vessel.

I dunno. Would he say "Right on! Rock music is the path to hell!" or "THE MAKERS OF THIS DOLL ARE DAMNED ETERNALLY FOR GLORIFYING THE SATANIC PUNK ROCK CULTURE"?

I feel awkward every time I come across rantings like Dobson's, or pages like the "Former Fans of Christian Rock Speak Out Against Christian Rock" site.

Hadn't seen that one. You mean people have finally discovered Christian rock is crap? ^_^

IIRC, it was former fans of Christian Rock denouncing it as a "gateway" "drug" for real rock music. They claimed that despite its Christian overtones, Christian Rock was just as evil and sinful and violent and rageful as secular rock, and dragged them down the dark path of secular music.

I weep.

On the other hand, reading that webpage would have spared me the lone Amy Grant album I own, so possibly it does us all a service. (I may never get that damned Baby Baby song out of my head)
