hey there doll face...

So Valentines Day will soon be bearing down on us like a big, pink glittery behemoth.

(In the vain hope that any of the lovely pr people who email us, actually read KOS, I give you fair warning now - this is the only "story" that I will be doing. So please please do not inundate our inbox with valentine offerings. Unless of course you are offering to send me my own body weight in free chocolate hearts!!!)

I'm not a big fan of Valentines day but if I were, I think the only way to go is kitsch or kawaii. Sadly most of the shops out there, seem to mistake that with tat. So if you are looking for a fun offering you are of course safest heading over to etsy.

In particular to The Doll City Rocker
