Sawako was taking notes on who laughed at the "paper tubes."

Hmmm, but then she has missed something, because I'm still alive... Maybe she encountered the most gracious of queens, who, er, politely persuaded her to reconsider?

I see your Sawako is quite different from her anime self.

Well... I did see her engaged in some online research... about trampoline accidents.   Oh My

She doesn't look like she's appropriately dressed for her environment/ whatever she's about to do.

But she's definitely cute!

With the wood and the smile, I think she’s about to indulge her inner pyromaniac.

They're all just so darn cute.

Maybe she's just about to sit back & relax while someone else puts all that wood on a nice roaring fire for a cold day...? LOL

Now there's an idea for a Doll A Day pic!

That is much closer to reality. In fact, that is the reality!

There are tons of urban legends about creepy girls in white gowns that appear in dark haunted forests. Usually, they are sulky or have black eyes or bloody tears or something that makes them sort of fit into the place and thus renders them somewhat less scary. Now imagine those spectres smiled like Sawako does in this photo! How scary would that be!

Went to check my trampoline. Nobody tampered with it, but then again, it's a long trip. I guess I'll bake some cookies before she arrives. Does she prefer tea or coffee? (And I'm quite impressed you remember the trampoline.)

The quite ones are the ones you really need to watch out for.

ELFY: Indulging the inner pyromaniac is not something we should be encouraging! I can just see some of our girls being fascinated by that.

Well, whatever she's got planned, she's certainly looking happy with it all.

... I do wonder at her research, but Wednesday is sure it was innocent and I'll trust my weaponry and pain ex.pert.

Pinky Street PKW2010 Hina Matsuri Limited Edition Set

This is probably the "rarest" doll, toy, or collectable item that I own. It is not especially "valuable" in monetary terms,
but the 2010 Wonderfest Hina Matsuri Pinky Street limited edition set does not turn up on the secondary market very often,
particularly not in the USA or Europe.

Hina Matsuri Pinky Street! That's so adorable! The Emperor seems to be a bit confused.

Oh, wow, look at how lovely that set is. I've never seen anything like this before, it's rather nice. I like the use of the different prints on the... I think they might be lanterns? Am really not sure, but it looks so lovely. Must be a highlight of your Pinky collection.

Yes, definitely. The 30cm "Dekapin" Pinky figures are also Pinky Street rarities, but those show up for sale from time to time. I totally lucked in to this set several years ago, and I have never seen one for sale since.

By "lucked in to," I mean, one late night I had insomnia, so I was randomly clicking around online. I checked in at the (now defunct) Pinky Street forum, even though activity by that point had dropped off to almost zero, and a collector from the early days had just posted the set for sale for a very reasonable, even "cheap," price. I shot her an email immediately, asking if the price was correct and if the set were still available. She was very nice, and said that yes, the price was correct, and she was more interested in the set going to someone who appreciated Pinkys than in making money. That was probably the fastest I've ever zapped off a Paypal payment!
