Gothic Lolita anyone? Mainly Sweet Lolita.

Holy crap. I remember reading that Wikipedia article about 2 years ago, but it was nowhere near that detailed- barely above a stub *scrolls* and they even have pictures to define the main branches *scrolls* and Wikipedia is still full of distended phalluses that nitpick and complain rather than fixing anything (like the math articles written by math professors for math professors). I'm glad I got out before getting too deep (although I still do the occasional edit and page cleanup, I refuse to communicate with Wikipedians for fear of being drawn into another multipage argument over whether to refer to a discontinued magazine in the past or present tense.)
BACK ON TOPIC: Is Dora finally getting to know the pretty okay Sven we already knew about? It's the D'awwwwpocalypse! It's interesting that we now have solid confirmation that his going after her things/candy/friends isn't just her blood tinted glasses (no, not everyone took her at her word, put down the keyboard and backspace the diatribe), he really was gunning to take her things- and not even because he wanted them or even ate them. It kinda reflects harshly on the previously cool seeming parents that they let all this sibling theft happen without coming down hard of Sven, though.

I have my own theories on Dora and Sven's parents. They are open minded and very "former hippie" like. I can see them being the type to just let their kids have free reign on things, not want to stifle their natural development, basically parenting as told through one of those nifty self help books they released in the seventies. I imagine there dad being one of those kind of people who insisted his kids call him by his first name, not "dad," trying depserately to be his kids friends instead of a parents after all, as far as he was concerned, parents are horrible strict authoritarians, not cool like them. Yeah, considering their personalities, i'm surprised Dora and Sven aren't more screwed up then they are. For dsome reason I really see Dora eventually ending up a more traditional mother type when she eventually gets married and has kids, as a sort of quasi-rebellion against the type of parenting her parents did.

Was Sara. After she faked her death by feeding her shoes to an allosaurus, she changed her name and went on the run. The problem was, apparently she's not very creative...or bright for that matter, considering they're pronounced the same.

Makes it easier to answer when someone calls you by name. You don't have to retrain your reflexes!
Like when I go by Karl-E

Wait...that was you!?!
I have been in a similar situation to Sven too many times. Hidden something then forgotten about it. When I find it, I really know I shouldn't throw it out, but don't want to admit to hiding it. So it stays in hiding, or gets left in a place where it will be discovered. Finding a plausible place is the hard part.

BTW... Princess Spookyspell? What was she, an 80's cartoon-show tie-in?
--- End quote ---
I actually got the impression that perhaps it was a more generic fashion doll, and "Princess Spookyspell" was Dora's name for this particular specimen. But I'm weird like that.
