Hahahah, Mom used to drag me to IKEA a lot when I was little... so I'm used to it. (The old one here even had a play-space area! With babysitting and cool toys! Those were the days...) I can see why they don't have more, but... but... it's such an AWESOME giant store.
Dude, totally. Actually, my cousin and brother and I were debating going out for a Wii game he wants earlier tonight. (I simply find it funny that people think Target is somehow magically better... no, no, the stuff is trendier, but it's not like they treat their employees any better!) We don't have K-mart around here, so I've never really gotten to scope them out... which is sad, since I think Martha Stewart used to do stuff for them? Not sure... but yeah, W-M doesn't have the best styles, but if there's something you actually want (particularly utilitarian things) the site-to-store feature is soooooooooooooo convenient.
You might! Although they sold out pretty quickly after they were introduced... hmm, I should just email her and ask if she plans to restock anytime soon. I want brushes! It's not quite that I regret buying my MAC ones, as it was pretty long ago that I did, but these are so much nicer... I still recommend MAC's brush cleaner as the best I've tried so far, though! (Costs more than one of the Brown Faux brushes. HA.) As far as testing goes... Aromaleigh always includes free samples! And she sells samples of all shadows before you commit, which I LOVE. And even my Big Splurges on her site were, honestly, not so bad. I got the ENTIRE Gothic Lolita collection. :3 I want some of the Bete Noir shadows -- I sampled them, and there are some really gorgeous smoky colors.
Aromaleigh can't quite compete with everything (MAC lip products win, hands down) but I wholeheartedly endorse her for ANY powder-based product or related tool. (Her primer/eyeshadow base is better than MAC paint pots or UDPP, in my opinion, too, and the concealers are great.)
Closet Child in Ikebukuro and seeing a secondhand Mama Told Me on the shelf ........ waaaaah! XD;;;;;;;;;;;;;
But yeah, hopefully I can find her! I think the last time I checked Y!J I saw the regular version for not much over retail. I'll have to email the guy tomorrow when I can think! <3 (I've got Paypal, hahah!)
When I first started doll collecting, I had a Celga or somesuch account... and I totally did that, I bought a bunch of cheap, adorable Licca and anime dolls. (Tokyo Mew Mew Licca! Hello Kitty Stormtrooper Licca!) Those were the days... I don't think I have SPACE for too many dolls, but a couple of Momokos wouldn't be so bad. (Cory really adores Momoko, too!) I love the weird Licca -- I should've gotten more of Tikistitch's Liccas when she sold them -- but I got Rough Trade and a few nice generic pink ones, so I'm pretty good. (I might get Gorgeous Gold and Punk Gal eventually, but I'm worried they'd end up in a box.)
I agree about Good Night Cherry looking better in brown. (I'm tempted by the brown one more than the pink, honestly!)
I dyed Kana's hair a few days ago, did you see? http://kingdomofcute.com/2009/Momokana.jpg And actually, I did just what you recommend, not to a Momoko, but to my Unoa Lite: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mmymoon/2833722349/ Creeeeeeeeeeepy dolls.
I love ME some floofy mohair, too! (Hahaha, the only thing keeping me from wigging ALL of them is that I think they might end up looking redundant. But I'm so tempted to.) Wigging is SO much easier than rerooting, but it... was hard to find them. (I've made most of mine! I think Unola's wig is a Tinybear one.) I wish Soom had been selling mohair wigs when I got my Uyoo! Of course, after Aren came out, I wish I had her, but. I prefer the plastic girls in that scale, anyway.
I still love dolls so hard; I think I've just grown really picky in my, mwahaha, old age. (Collector old age, at least?)
Don't worry, sweetie; it's late and random businesses (who may be run by single people) are hard to conjugate, anyway... I should go to sleep myself, but... but... dolls!
