Towana Looney can hardly contain her anticipation as she waits to get wheeled to an operating room at the NYU Langone Health hospital in New York City for an historic procedure. "It's going to change my life," says Looney, a 53-year-old grandmother, from Gadsden, Ala. She volunteered to become the first living person in the world to get a kidney from a new kind of genetically modified pig. Scientists hope this kind of pig will someday provide an unlimited supply of kidneys, livers, hearts and other organs that could alleviate the chronic shortage of organs for transplantation and save thousands of patients every year. "We're going to make history today," says Looney, before nurses take her in for the long, risky operation.

Edwardian Fashion Show

Here are the three outfits, modeled by Goodreau BJDs.

The Evening Gown. It came with earrings, a necklace, a handbag, spats, and a fascinator. There was also a piece of double stick foam to attach the fascinator, but I used a straight pin.

Roxy looks fantastic in this. It fits her body perfectly. The details are splendid! The handbag has a working clasp, and the fascinator has beading on it!

The Day Dress. It came with a necklace and earrings, a handbag, spats and a picture hat. Functional handbag clasp, lovely details on the hat, though I will want to gently steam it to fluff up the tulle.

The Tea Dress.

No handbag or hat, but it's a two-piece gown and robe set. Cameo earrings and white spast complete the ensemble.

In honor of my friend A who would be chuffed to wear this dress, I put it on Towana.

(please excuse the shitty lighting in my dining room.)

I still want to know what company made this set. (Hey@dollblr can you help a fellow collector out?) Each dress was on a hanger, in a separate plastic bag, with the identification of each style printed in a chancery font on a sticker. The accessories were in their own bag, tucked in with each dress. It sure looks like a porcelain doll wardrobe, but they fit my slim MSDs exactly. I haven't pierced my dolls ears, but these sets certainly tempt me.

I still can't believe I found these in pristine condition at a thrift store for under $4.

Maomao no Hitorigoto Episode 12 : Cordyceps Sinensis / 猫猫のひとりごと　第12話　『冬虫夏草(とうちゅうかそう/Tochukaso)』

Please note that the English lines are just my translations.

猫猫「♪ハン、ハン、ハンハハン…ハンハハンハン～♪」

Maomao “♪Han, han, han-ha-han… Han, ha-han-hannn♪”

壬氏「…何を踊っている…」

Jinshi “…Nani’o odotte-iru…”

Jinshi “Why are you dancing…?”

猫猫「これが踊らずにいられましょうか～！はぁ～！」

Maomao “Korega odorazuni irare-mashokaaa! Haaaa!”

Maomao “How can I stop dancing now? Ahhh!”

猫猫「ここで、猫猫の豆知識。この植物は冬虫夏草。これはキノコの一種で、寄生した虫の栄養分で成長する。漢方として重宝されており、不老長寿、強壮の秘薬として、非常に希少性が高いのだ」

Maomao “Kokode, Maomao’no mame-chishiki. Kono shokubutsuwa tochukaso. Korewa kinokono isshude, kisei-shita mushino eiyo-bunde seicho suru. Kanpo-to-shite choho-sarete-ori, furo-choju, kyosono hiyaku-to-shite, hijoni kisho-seiga takai-noda.”

Maomao “Here’s Maomao’s bits of knowledge. This plant is Cordyceps sinensis. It’s a type of mushroom that grows on the nutrients of an insect it parasitizes. It’s highly valued as a traditional Chinese medicine, and is extremely rare as it’s said to be a secret elixir of eternal youth and longevity.”

壬氏「虫を貰ってこんなに喜ぶとはな…」

Jinshi “Mushi’o moratte konnani yorokobu-towana…”

Jinshi “You are that happy to receive ‘an insect’…”

猫猫「虫ではないです。キノコです。冬は虫だったのに夏になると草のようなキノコが生えるところからこの���前になったと言われ…」

Maomao “Mushi-dewa nai-desu. Kinoko desu. Fuyuwa mushi-datta-noni natsuni Naruto kusano-yona kinokoga haeru-tokoro-kara kono namaeni nattato iware…”

Maomao “It’s not an insect. It’s a mushroom. It’s said that it got its name because it’s an insect in the winter, but in the summer, a grass-like mushroom grows…”

壬氏「わかった。わかったから…」

Jinshi “Wakatta. Wakatta-kara…”

Jinshi “I understand. I understand already.”

猫猫（高順様の話によると、数日前まで壬氏様もこの冬虫夏草そっくりだったとか…？以前と変わらない。むしろさらに…）

Maomao (Gaoshun-samano hanashini yoruto, sujitsu-mae-made Jinshi-samamo kono tochukaso sokkuri datta-toka…? Izento kawara-nai. Mushiro sarani…)

Maomao (According to Master Gaoshun, until a few days ago, Master Jinshi looked just like this Cordyceps sinensis… But now he’s the same as before. Rather, even more…)

壬氏「…ん？何だ、人の顔をじっと見て」

Jinshi “…N? Nanda, hitono kao’o jitto mite.”

Jinshi “Hmm? Why are you staring at my face?”

猫猫「何でもありません。ところで、後宮にはいつ戻るのですか？」

Maomao “Nan-demo ari-masen. Tokorode, kokyu-niwa itsu modoruno-desuka?”

Maomao “It’s nothing. By the way, when am I going back to the rear palace?”

壬氏「ん…それがなぁ…」

Jinshi “N… Sorega-naa…”

Jinshi “Well, about that…”

猫猫「うん？　次回、『外廷勤務』。ん？今度はどこで働かされるんだ？お楽しみに」

Maomao “Un? Jikai, ‘Gaitei-Kinmu.’ N? Kondowa dokode hataraka-sarerunda? Otanoshimini.”

Maomao “Hmm? Next episode, ‘Serving in the Outer Court.’ Hmm? Where will I be working next? See you next time.”

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

「何を踊っている…(なにをおどっている/Nani’o odotte-iru)」: If it’s literally translated, it can be “What are you dancing to?”, but this line means “Why are you dancing?” The reason why I didn’t put “?” at the end of Japanese line is that Jinshi is not asking why but just amazed. He already knows why Maomao is dancing.

「これが踊らずにいられましょうか～！(これがおどらずにいられましょうか～！/Korega odorazuni irare-mashokaaa!)」 : Though I translated into “How can I be without dancing now?”, I’m wondering if it’s natural as an English line. If not, please let me know more natural wording.

「～せずにはいられない」: cannot but do, cannot help doing

「ところで」: When this word is at the beginning of a sentence, it means “By the way.” If it’s in the middle of a sentence, it means different.

Ex.1) 「ところで、昨日はどこへ行ったの？（ところで、きのうはどこへいったの？/Tokorode, kinowa doko’e ittano?）」

→ “By the way, where did you go yesterday?” 「ところで」: By the way

Ex.2) 「今そんなことを言ったところで、状況は変わらない。（いまそんなことをいったところで、じょうきょうはかわらない/Ima sonna koto’o itta-tokorode, jokyowa kawara-nai）」

→ “Even if I say such a thing now, the situation will not change.” 「～したところで」: Even if doing

Ex.3) 「お腹がいっぱいになってきたところで、そろそろ帰りましょう。（おなかがいっぱいになってきたところで、そろそろかえりましょう/Onakaga ippaini natte-kita-tokorode, soro-soro kaeri-masho）」

→ “Now that we are getting full, let’s go home.” 「～したところで」: Now that doing

Ex.4) 「そんな所で何をしていたの？（そんなところでなにをしていたの？/Sonna tokorode nani’o shite-itano?）」

→ “What were you doing at such a place?”　「ところ」: place

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Tomorrow is the December BJD meet. I'm planning to pick up my mom and take her.

Diane volunteered to be Santa this year. I think this weird porcelain doll outfit suits her nicely!

I hope these two Hohohos can quit drinking long enough to finish trimming the trees...

Actually I'm tickled by these outfits I put together for the meet. I wanted something contemporary, and this awesome gnome sweater was a post-holiday sale item last year. Towana is wearing the official Goodreau Santa Baby ensemble, plus the vest from her Ranger costume. She swapped hats with Alexis, which I think is super cute.

And here's Snow White as the Snow Queen. Neve was delighted to try this dress on; she wants to play Sarah in the Labyrinth in the spring. This gown and cape set came off of a porcelain doll, who is not getting her clothes back.

I spent far too much time on the trees, but now I can incorporate them into my decor.

Icky the Bat will also be joining us for the BJD meet tomorrow.
