Whose Stuff? Chibi Usa

From? Anime: Sailor Moon S  

Season Episode 18: Series Episode 107 - 「芸術は愛の爆発!ちびうさの初恋」 or “Art is an Explosion of Love! Chibi-Usa’s First Love”

What? Bunny slippers

Gimme!    I received these from my husband for Christmas a few years ago!  They are MUCH cuter in real life and very comfortable. 

Pretty sure they were from this site.

Whose stuff? Sailor Chibi Moon/ Chibi-Usa

From? Anime: Sailor Moon Super S (all) 

What? Chibi Moon Compact 

Of all of the Sailor Moon’s transformation brooches, I always think this one is the cutest out of its simplicity (today at least. I usually change my mind).  

Gimme!  Ugh….

So, I feel like the English speaking fandom generally dislikes Chibi-Usa and Super S is always ranked as the least-liked season.  Older fans who are seeking out nostalgia items do not seem to want to identify with a little kid. But I really like Super S (maybe not a favorite, but still like it!) and finding merchandise for Chibi Usa has always been pretty hard. But!

You can always get the official Bandai toy, found on ebay for about $100

Or the venerable Kuma Crafts, though its a hefty $45

Here is another Swarovski crystal heart pin, also on ebay, for under $8 and on for four days!

Random find~ 

A swarovski, sparkly, heart-wing-crown-sailor-moonesque brooch on ebay.  It is like a blend of her later brooches, no?   

2 days left and only like $8. 

Should…should I get it?

Whose stuff? Tsukino Usagi

From? Live Action PGSM (all). The Making Of Sailor Moon Special 

What? a room full 43 bunnies + 1 Usagi!

Gimme!  Sawai Miyu specifically points out a rabbit jack-in-the-box toy. Otherwise, she just has lots (43!) rabbit things all over her room.

Whose stuff? Aino Minako

From? Anime: Sailor Moon S  

Season Episode 11: Series Episode 100 -「セーラー戦士を辞めたい!?美奈子の悩み」 or “Retire from the Sailor Guardians!? Minako’s Concerns.” 

What? Blue and white striped pajamas, to wear while making sad faces at yourself at night…

I love this episode so hard but, for now, let’s focus on what the goddess of love and beauty wears to sleep…

Gimme!

Lanvin Clear Heart Brooch

It’s like a grown up version of cosplay.

Whose stuff? Kaioh Michiru

From? Anime: Sailor Moon S  

Season Episode 07: Series Episode 96 -「冷酷なウラヌス?まことのピンチ」 or “Cold-Hearted Uranus? Makoto in Trouble.” 

What? Sleek white one-piece 

Michiru is always taking a swim and, being characterized as a super sophisticated beauty with a secret stash of money funding some fancy life, she’s almost always wearing a different designer swimsuit.  Unlike Usagi (and friends) who usually wear something frilly with prints, Michiru’s swimsuits are usually simple and chic, like this white one with a low cut back.

A good New-Years-Resolutions inspiring purchase.   Can you wear Michiru’s swimsuit by summer? Haha…

Gimme!

Sailor Moon Places

Where? Crystal Tokyo 

Can I visit? Crystal City….near DC.

When I moved to this area, I was so excited to pass by a metro stop labeled “Crystal City.” Alas, it is nothing at all like the beautiful Crystal Tokyo but it still makes me happy to live nearby.

Where? Azabu Juuban Middle School => Cross Roads Junior High

Can I visit? Cross Roads Middle School…in Boise haha

Where? Virtual Reality Game Theater (Season R, episode 50 - the episode when the tiara stops working)

Can I visit?   Laser Tag (http://www.shadowlandadventures.com/)

I wanted to incorporate this dimension of the show into my blog a little bit more.  There are “real life” places like Azabu Juuban but also little cafes and shops they always visit.  Plus, there are “real life” Sailor Moon themed places in Japan that I want to talk about (but haven’t had time to, YET).

Whose stuff? Tsukino Usagi

From? Anime: Sailor Moon (season 1) 

Season Episode 9: Series Episode 9 -「うさぎの災難!あわて時計にご用心」 or “Usagi’s Misfortune! Watch Out for the Rushing Clocks.” 

What?  Time warping black-cat clock!

I love this episode ~ in fact, I love how all of the first season incorporates the daily little annoyances and stresses that suck out our energy.  I know they are “filler” and not part of the dramatic story arc about princesses and star soldiers and past-life romances…but they are the things I most relate to haha.

So after Usagi and Ami’s shopping trip, Usagi is gifted a sneaky looking black cat clock that sucks away time and makes you feel rushed. 

Gimme!  

Black Cat Clock ~ this looks the most “accurate” to the clock in the show, but you’d offend Luna with it.  Also, if I’m buying a new alarm clock I’m going to buy the chicken one! So better to get something cute for my real alarm clock (my phone):
