KAWAII: a follow-up entry

You may be wondering why I didn't cover the Kawaii Crush dolls that are growing in popularity in my previous post.. The reason for that is that they are not authentic kawaii. They may be cute, but the eyes and mouths, as well as the body structure, are wrong. The accessories they come with, are however, authentic kawaii.

Look at the two pictures below. The one on the top is a kawaii crush doll. The one on the bottom is a kawaii drawing.

 

As you can see (and as I already mentioned), the eyes, mouths and body structure are not kawaii on kawaii crush dolls. If you do not see the difference between the mouths, the kawaii crush doll's mouth has lips. The drawing's mouth is just wide open, and even when the mouth is closed, kawaii mouths are just simple lines.
