Emily the Strange Statue

Hollywood...the world of glitz and glamour and all that good stuff. The world that houses the great actors and musicians and the like. But beyond Hollywood Blvd., beyond the beaches and palm trees, and beyond the fashion district, lies a few scattered treasures for the avid anime and video game fan.

There's Little Tokyo and Anime Jungle and Munky King, just to name a few. But a surprising find laid rest on the Universal City Walk -- the awesome "Things from Another World" (Dark Horse Comics) store. Definitely my kind of store.

I was able to get my hands on a limited edition Emily the Strange Maquette, of which only 1,300 were made all over the world. Emily is being her usual self and totally reminiscent of the first Emily comic book. Chilling as the "Chairman of the Bored" on the infamous red sofa chair adorned with her 4 black cats, Emily is alluring and you just can't help but bask in her presence and glory.
