New pages have been added as of Aug. 17/03JENNY and LICCA
When Helene decided to close her wonderful site featuring Jenny and Licca and friends, she most graciously offered it to the folks on her list to copy and keep or whatever they wished. I couldn't bear to see such a fantastic wealth of information be lost, so I am copying the complete Jenny and Licca sections to my site. Once Helene's site is up and running here on mine, I will add pics of the newer dolls and the dolls that I have in my collection, that are not listed yet.

Takara and the naming of dolls... I find some of the names of Jenny and her friends to be a little strange...The names of the Japanese girls, such as Kisara and Aya, are of course all right (though there's one girl from Yokohama called Julia, which is not very common among Japanese girls). But others seem less well-chosen. For example, Judy is supposed to be French, the typical Parisienne, but Judy is an Anglo-Saxon name, and I never met any Frenchwoman thus called. Chelsea is also supposed to be French. If I remember well it is the first name of one very famous American's daughter, but not what you would call your typical French name. Mille-feuille, from Provence, is one of the latest Jenny friends and her name is certainly French, but it's a little bit curious for a girl to have the name of a cake. I gather Takara chose it because her hobby is supposed to be baking. "Fransois" is a French name, however it's not only misspelt but also in this form a boy's name. Oh well, why not, as long as the dolls are pretty!
