Disclaimer: Usually I’m someone who doesn’t post twice a day. And originally this post was meant for yesterday, but I was too busy to finish is, and anyway, it’s the holidays, and about everything is special during these days. Oh, and I tried to incorporate all brand names in the text at first, it’s horrible. [...]

Porcelain Sunday: My Neighbor Totoro

My Neighbor Totoro is probably my favourite Studio Ghibli film ever. It also the most widely known and the one that gave the studio its mascot. For those of you who don’t know this masterpiece yet, here’s the story: Satsuki, her father and her little sister Mei move to the country to be closer to [...]
Porcelain Sunday: Kiki’s Delivery Service
Posted in Porcelain Sunday, tagged black cat, Kiki's Delivery Service, movie, Studio Ghibli, witch on August 27, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Thanks to my work (with the best boss ever) I’ve been watching several Ghibli pictures during the last two weeks. While Kiki’s Delivery Service is not my favourite it’s perhaps the one I’d most likely call a shoujo anime. The story revolves around 13-year-old Kiki, who in old witch tradition is supposed to spend a [...]
Porcelain Sunday: Harry Potter

Yes, I’m jumping onto the bandwagon of saying goodbye to one of the greatest phenomenons of my childhood. Honestly I don’t think that there’ll be another generation of children that will have this bond with JK Rowlings work – we grew up with these characters, we waited every year for a new book and after [...]
Porcelain Sunday – Happy Easter!

Originally I wanted to post my re-written Porcelain Sunday themed of Sucker Punch from last week today, but I completely forgot that this Sunday was Easter Sunday! Well, this might have made a great preparations post, too, but it’s to late now. It’s a little difficult to write a Porcelain Sunday about Easter, so I’ll [...]

The Great Mouse Detective, also known as Basil of Baker Street, is one of my favourite Disney movies ever. I fist watched it while in elementary school on video (yes! video!) when we borrowed it from the library on a rainy Saturday afternoon. I don’t know why it made such an impression, I [...]
Porcelain Sunday – The History of Dessous

Lately, there was a documentary on the french-german tv channel arte about said history of dessous that I found utterly interesting. And without further ado I’ll give you the video. And there will be more to read tomorrow, but first I’ve got to recover from Jules’ recent visit. :)
Porcelain Sunday – A Little Princess

A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett is – at least I guess so – along with Kamikaze Girls and Alice in Wonderland one of THE Lolita books, after all, so it was quite obvious for me to dedicate a Porcelain Sunday to this piece of work. Especially when I think about that it’s been [...]
Porcelain Sunday – The Lost Doll

When I first read Victoria Suzanne’s advice on how to be a better blogger I though about a weekly post I could make. After thinking about alliterations with Steampunk and fashion (which may come too, anyway) and a dozen other things, I decided to go Porcelain Sunday. If you can’t think of what this should [...]
