Puchi Collective

The Darling Diva Beauty Contest DVD is out at Blythedoll.com.

I’m dying to see Christina walk the red carpet with Gentle River, as well as all the other amazing entries (and the mysterious “talent competition”).

Oh, and I must say that DD’s hair looks awesome all fluffed up like that - I wonder if Impatience would let me…

It’s a quick one!

I came across this book a while back and the Kenner on the cover definitely piqued my interest. According to the description, it’s a book about Japanese Toys. (causing some Blythe fans to wonder why they’d photograph an American doll for the cover.) I doubt she’s an Ai Ai, but I like her mystique and will be keeping an eye out for this one at bookstores. It’s available at Amazon:

Plastic Culture: How Japanese Toys Conquered the World

blythedoll.com has released photos of Piccadilly Encore in the japanese news section.

She’s an SBL with the same hairstyle and makeup colors as the original (she’s on the right in the photos above). Personally, I was expecting more of a change to the outfit, which is almost identical to the original, except the updated muscle-tee and handbag feature one of Gina’s photos of a Kenner wearing a Squeaky-Tee! Congrats Tiff!

With the popularity and outrageous secondary-market price of the original Piccadilly, CWC will sell a zillion of these puppies. She’s being sold at the standard 10,290 Yen.

HLJ’s already sold out their first order of Piccas, but you can get her on eBay.
