From Girlybubble: Kewpie dolls are meant to be in the nude, although sometimes they wear costumes. It is kind of strange to see them fully clothed. Over at Strapya World, they come in the form of costumed bears representing each of the 12 months of the year. These Kewpie cell phone charms are colored according to the month’s birthstone–garnet for January, amethyst for February, etc. This makes it appealing to any kawaii lover. Their bear costumes are so cute, it is ridiculous! More »
