Does the name “Daikanyama” ring a bell? A one-stop subway ride from Shibuya, this ritzy Tokyo shopping district is home to the first Baby, the Stars Shine Bright (immortalized in the novel Kamikaze Girls).

Daikanyama’s clothing boutiques aren’t my cup of tea — too pricey and Park Avenue. But I enjoyed poking my head into the designer doll shop, Junie Moon.

I confess I’m not a doll person; however, I appreciated the sweet designs and dress sets. In addition to Junie Moon, this store stocks Neo Blythe / Petite Blythe stationery and character goods.

The pink and black Gothic Lolita doll was one of my favorites. Skirt too short? Not by my books.

Big eyes and oversized heads are always a draw in Japan.

Flamboyant, tricked-out, ultra-decorated nails have spread from Japan. Now, you’ll often spot Western celebrities with crazy nail designs.

If you can’t afford a nail salon, or would rather DIY, you can pick up stickers, polish and fake nails from Odakaya. (This craft/design store is stupendous; see my store photos here and here.)

I’m sad that Halloween is over… had a riotous time in Mazatlan, Mexico. Photos of my costume to come!

PS: my Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern (Tokyo) episode aired again yesterday. On this page, you can watch all my TV hosting clips.

Are you fond of nail art? Designer dolls like Blythe and Junie Moon? If so, what draws you to them?

    Never been to Japan, but when I went to Taipei I bought tons of nail stickers since they’re so hard to find here, and so expensive. From the pictures they look more or less from the same brands.  It’s unfair Asian girls have such a big choice D:

    I want to buy tons of nail stickers since I can’t find the ones I like where I live. These dolls are really cute but I like Pullip or Dalh better than this kind of dolls. Their faces scare me…

    not the first set of dolls but the second ones shown in the posters… they are breathe takingly gorgeous. I was reading a fanfic and the author based her character clothes on them and posted a link to show, ended up browsing the online store in awe

    I used to have my real nails very long (just under 1cm longer than my fingers), file them into points and paint very fancy designs on them (my favourite was painting the tips silver, the body black, and then painting on metallic planets and using midnight glitter for stars) but I do conservation work outdoors now, and they’d get ruined very quickly! My favourite fake nails at the moment aren’t really “fancy” – they’re a plain colour – but they look like I have real metal nails, which I find very cyber-goth :)

    Oh yeah, I’ve been to this place couple of times.  They seem to have a wider range of stuff now, going by this report.

    I have warped taste when it comes to dolls. I very much prefer the dolls with much chiselled features over Blythe anytime, but I’d rather have Blythe accessories over others anytime!

    Not a fan of dolls myself (I prefer lovely cute cats!!!), but I love the nail art!!! I’ll have to start buying online, as there usn’t much choice in London, UK – not as much as in Tokyo! I’d like my email address to be on “hotnail” rather than hotmail…! LOL

      I don’t quite recall, but they are probably on the higher side… Perhaps you might be able to find out via their website!
