The marketing masters at the Culture Japan Smart Doll Store have come up with a clever new promotional strategy: when you receive your shipment notification email, they generously include a link to an image of the items in your order so you can share with the world the exciting new goodies that are on the way:

18 July order, processed and on the way on 19 July

I missed out on the duster jacket during the recent "Time Sale." Now I have... had... a little bit of money, so I'm buying it at full price (more than I've ever paid for a jacket for myself) before it sells out like the first edition duster jacket.

I needed (wanted) one more pair of official Smart Doll shoes, which seem to be better quality (and provide more stable balance) than most aftermarket shoes, so that each of the girls can have decent shoes. Again, I have only occasionally paid more for shoes for myself. This Smart Doll hobby is quite the shakedown scheme.

But it's a "voluntary" shakedown, I suppose, so I shouldn't complain. Welcome to the exciting universe of First World Luxury Goods.

As for the "bewbs" (in Smart Doll Land parlance)...   ... there's really no way I can "ex-plain" or "justify" or "rationalize" that purchase that will sound plausible, is there? So you'll just have to wait for the pictures.

The order is on the way. Previous orders, usually as a result of a delay in Customs processing, take about ten days to arrive. Factor in Mercury in retrograde lasting through the end of the month, and who knows?

Anyway, Culture Japan/Smart Doll Store now makes it easy to share photos of your Smart Doll orders! Fun, huh?
