Off to Yokohama
Be Still My Heart–The love of my life (Anpanman) will be celebrated at the new Anpanman Children’s Museum in Yokohama, Japan.
While the concept is a bit bizarre (don’t ask too many questions, I mean, Humpty Dumpty is a bit of a reach, too…..)–Anpanman has a head that looks like a bean paste bun. Work with me here….. Okay, well, he’s a bit of an acquired taste, but immortalized with mass marketing in clothing, toy, television, and stationery form throughout Japan.
My favourite character is still ‘Angry Toast’ (not his real name, but I like to think of him that way) Of course, I had a crush on Underdog as a kid, so go figure.
What they really need is a yumyumcherry figure (wearing a Chanel camellia, of course).

Looks like you’ve been having fun! Can’t help but love “Angry Toast” too as he throws his cute little tantrum. .. and personally, I like the Prada outfit. I’ve seen the collection in store and although at first you need to take a step back to appreciate it there are some very cleverly draped and gathered pieces as well as a range of rich satiny fabrics including a sea green/blue assymetrical skirt which could well be worth it… Keep experimenting, yumyum, don’t know why anyone would trash some fun dress-up but it takes all kinds or so they say.
