Maybe it was kind of a sketch they were dressed up like that for? As for Kewpie - many thanks for the story! 3 years ago I bought modern version of it (cheap made-in-China one) in large supermarket in Moscow. I liked it for "vintage" look and striped bathing suit it was dressed in. It is really great to know what stands behind things were are dealing with.Crafty Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08484930874543269891noreply@blogger.com
