I end up retreating to ours as well. <BR/><BR/>Wow, not having kids I hadn't paid much attention to the dolls. Yikes!

Banana pies. Roller-skating runners. Crazy lines at the Carrefour (by the way, there was a Carrefour in Chongqing! :)) Tufty dolls. And best of all, the "crepuscular" (?) version of Twilight. Wha?<BR/><BR/>I really think you are doing an important ethnographic service here, missy. I am getting this amazing impression through your eyes.

I don't think I'd enjoy working at a cash register sitting down. For that matter, I wouldn't enjoy it standing up either! LOL!! It's pretty cool having the skaters - that would be fun...<BR/><BR/>Okay - scary dolls, but I'd really HATE to see the babies they based these dolls on...YIKES!!!<BR/><BR/>I wish I could be there to run around with you - it sounds like so much fun. I'm so ready for a beach trip - Heck, I'd settle on any kind of trip at all.<BR/><BR/>Hope you have safe travels home!JSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16781622443955949628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6143256316671875324.post-47145669547321452662009-03-06T12:30:00.000-08:002009-03-06T12:30:00.000-08:00THat is one freaky looking doll!!

Definitely somewhat blushworthy, but just think of the blog fodder. ;) Damn skinny Brasilians... (I'm not a size 12, either.)<BR/><BR/>I love how "Twilight" translates in Portuguese! "Crepusculo" -- that sounds so descriptive!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
