Every so often, someone on DOA asks, "Hey, where are all the BJDs with darker skin: Indians, Hispanics, Arabs and Africans? Why the heck are they all so deathly pale?" While more dark dolls have appeared in the last year [see, for example, Luts "tanning" dolls], they have usually been darker versions of the original pale editions. In my mind, this is like making an African Barbie from the same mold as the Caucasian Barbie, changing only the color of the plastic. Skin color alone does not denote race. There are differences in facial features that most BJD companies have not reflected in their sculpts.

...Until Iplehouse Cocori, who boots SD16 Olivia's bland lil ass out of the ballpark in terms of quality and quantity.

...Is now live...or, more precisely, given the inanimation of the key characters, dead! Sorry for the lateness. Enjoy the interesting twist and erotic tension [?!?!?]. Weirdness as usual ensues.
