i was launched into Anime Doll collecting about twenty years ago.
i was just on the cusp of hitting adulthood back then, and discovering not only just how much Anime Women appealed to me flat out from first blush,
but also just how much that "old-school" traditionally-feminine clothing appealed to me...
at a time when such "Frumpy Grandma" Feminine fashion sensibilities
were becoming ever more widely and intensely looked down upon,
at least with the U.S. anyway.
That in Mind, i've known for literally all of my Adult lifetime now
that Sweetly-Ladylike Anime Women, and Frilly, Demure Ladies' Fashions,
are a Match Made in Heaven that i simply can not and never will be able to deny♥
