~Asian Dolls~

I saw this Victoria Secret dress and thought I could make it... I started playing around with some fabric (when I was supposed to be writing my lab report) and realized a need a doll I could make sample clothes for. At first I just wanted a Barbie doll... anything I could find.  I went to flickr to look around. I can't remember exactly what I searched for, but I was definitely blown away!  I entered a world of Asian dolls!  The all look like anime characters and they are so cute... well at least most of them... some of them are kind of scary looking...

Blue Fairy and Volks

I want Sarang from Blue Fairy! She is just gorgeous, but I dont know if I can justify getting a $300 doll to my husband.  Super Dollfies, which are made by Volks are customizable.  I think I'm too new to even consider those.  As I kept looking, I came across Pullips and Momoko dolls, which are a little cheaper and smaller, but just as cute.  I believe Momoko's are closer in size to Barbie dolls.  (Blue Fairy and SD (Super Dollfies) are about 17" tall.  I want one of these soo bad.  My mom's going to Korea at the end of this month... I wonder if she could find me one... since Blue Fairy and Pullips are Korean dolls.  ^___^

Sorry for all the hyperlinks, but I didn't want to steal anyone's pictures and too lazy to get permission for my meager blog.  If you flickr (or Google) any of the names/terms above, I'm sure they'll come up.  Man I really want one...
