You did a great job on her outfit!!!
I think I did see someone ex.periment with either a Braztzilla head or an EAH head on an Obitsu body. It looked fairly decently.
Thank you!

I read this summary on Wikipedia: "The musical tells the story of a group of Bohemians who struggle to restore the free exchange of thought and fashion, and live music in a distant future where everyone dresses, thinks and acts the same." This strikes me as extremely sad as here we are today, nearly two decades after this musical was released, and the pressure to conform is stronger than ever; indeed, it is now legally enforced in many respects. The virus is being used to justify even further control, and we are being brainwashed in to "binge-watching Netflix" and accepting similar mind-numbing, screen-based, conformity-inducing activities as "the new normal."
Anyway, as you know, I love your custom-costumed "Scaramouche" Bratzillaz gal, and she looks as goth-glam as ever here!
Honestly, yeah it is. There are moments that are just really fun because it's characters trading barbs at each other.
The show has aged surprisingly well in the idea of one coroporation owning the world aspect of it...
Thank you!

Y'know, I've never seen that film? I should try to see it.

Her patches of different color remind me of some cats' coats. So of course I love it

I think Tiff is the friendliest-looking Teddy Bear you have shared with us thus far!

Its called “ lesser magic”. “ They” show you in advance what “ they” are going to do as a n changes to society.
There are a ton of media going back showing where they want to take us. Logans Run, 1984 etc

Yeah, we are totally living in what is quickly becoming a 1984 world, with shades of Animal Farm and Fahrenheit 451, and a bit of Lord of the Flies. Disturbing times.

All your bears look like they are the most cuddly one, which can’t be true. One of them has to be the mostest bestest cuddliest one.
I feel that (if the world was normal & I I could actually visit) I need to test all of them out to determine which one would be this.

She is very cheery. In the Charlie Bears line, the open mouthed face is known as the giggler face

183. U is for Usagi
Sailor Moon herself! This is a 6" doll from a playset that was released for the live action show in Japan. I found her randomly a few years ago, and recognised what it was. It's a rare thing, to see a black haired Usagi. I really should put her with another doll but I don't really have any other Sailor Moon dolls to height compare with... But yes! Usagi.
Oh, and I've replaced her hair elastics. I didn't realise they were crumbling until after I took the photo.

I'm one of those five weirdos who don't know Sailor Moon (I know about the series, but never read or watched it), so I don't know the context of black haired Usagi (other than her usually being blonde), but she's really cute!

I’m one of the other 5 weirdos who know nothing about Sailor Moon.
I can recognise them, but only if they’re in the school uniforms.
Congrats on the find!

Looks like 100% of the weirdos are here, because I know almost nothing about Sailor Moon. It’s a Japanese anime is about the sum total of my knowledge.
