Miniatures and Memorials

Bridal season is coming and the latest trend is viewing designs as miniature wedding dresses in show cases. Now there is even a service which offers to duplicate school uniforms in miniature. Called "My Puchi," the service is offered by a uniform maker called Excell in Okayama. They
supply miniature uniforms ranging from your from your kindergarten through to high school. To have a proper replica made, you send the original uniform to them, and about 3 months later they deliver the 1/3 size replica for JPY12,000. What you'd use a miniature copy of your school
uniform for is beyond me...
Talking about "memorial goods", I saw dog dolls made from geniune dog hair taken from pets after they die. The owner's order their dolls from an elderly lady in England, purportedly to remind them of their lovely pet. But you have to wonder what kind of person would shave their dead
dog?!
