Alice Addict.

I love Japanese artbooks! Page after page after page of art!

I've been thinking that I want to purchase Mihara Mitsukazu's Alice Addict (2003) artbook. I adore her work :) Sasuga.com's description for the product is:
"A combination of punk, Gothic and Lolita, this collection of drawings by Mihara Mitsukazu will thrill any Gothic and Lolita afficionado. It features full-color illustrations, and two pages of cut-out dolls."

(Cool & Interesting Note: Mitsukazu is also the creator of the Doll manga. It's about a world where human-like androids are created to make our existence easier. It explores the action of the users, the people and the relationships that surface between the two. What makes us human?)


(Those are wires tied up in her legs. Not a garter belt...)

Speaking of dolls, my name on here is ball-joint doll. These Asian ball-joint dolls called "Dollfie" are really beautiful. Here are some examples:


These things are ridiculously expensive... they can cost you into the thousands.


Look, it's Jareth, the Goblin King! He saw his baby crying hard as babe could cry... what could he do? Dance, Magic Dance!
(Please don't let me be the only one to get this reference...)
