DO YOU KNOW WHERE I CAN PURCHASE ONE. Now I can have my pillow person on one side and my "boyfriend" on the other. How cozy.

SabilaK said...

Oh shnap. I just told you guys about the pillow person. Ahem.

All the boxes filled with stuff for the earthquake are on their merry little way to your Dad's organization's office.

=)

Cyberfish said...

actually i know exactly where you can get one. but the place where you can get them only speaks Japanese. I would be happy to order one for you!

SabilaK said...

You speak Japanese?
How much are these boyfriend's anyway?

SabilaK said...

Oh and disregard the 's in "boyfriends." Clearly my bad.

Cyberfish said...

yeeeessss, i speak Japanese fluently. If you give me a day or two i can sort something out for you....if you are really interested. Or if you just want to post the info here.

SabilaK said...

Sasha: received the boxes! Thanks so much. You sent us exactly what we were asked to send to Pakistan!
And Eid Mubarak (in advance!)

SabilaK said...

John, I'll take the boyfriend if the price isn't exorbitant!

Sabila here are the results of my conversation with the "Boyfriend" people:

Jp: Hello?
Me: Hello? (about ten times)
Jp: How may I help you?
Me: I was calling to find out about the....uhh (oh hell) the boyfriend
Jp: Ohh...ahhhh (giggles in the background) Sir, we dont have any girlfriends yet, they are not available yet.
Me: I didnt ask about the girlfriend..(seriously doubting self at this point)...I want to know
Jp: Yes of course sir
Me: So, the boyfriend...well its for a friend
Jp: Of course..how thoughful of you
Me: Could you tell me how much they are?
Jp: 8000 yen
Me: Do you ship to the US?
Jp: No sir, we have no international distribution for these as of yet.
Me: What? (frantically typing in Kokusai nigaku into my electronic dictionary)....oh yes.. of course
Jp: Is there anything else I can do for you sir?
Me: How about those Hanishin Tigers? (fav japanese baseball team and bad joke)
Jp: excuse me?
Me: Nothing. That will be all, thank you.
Jp: Thank you good day
Me: Ok then

ive never had my sexual orientation questioned over a mannequin! Anyway Sabila, they cost about 100 bucks equivalent in USD. They dont ship internationally but I can easily arrange to have one sent to my post box in Japan and then forwarded here.

John: I just saw this. I didn't realize that you actually called The Boyfriend people! Thanks man! And too bad they don't distribute The Boyfriend here. What a shame!

Cyberfish said...

As I said: I can still get it. Besides I am leaving for Japan in 2 months for an extended period. I would be happy to send you one!

SabilaK said...

How much is 8000 yen?

Cyberfish said...

its about $100 bucks...give or take

SabilaK said...

Oy. I'm not spending $100 on a pillow...even if it is a boyfriend pillow!
Who knew a boyfriend would be so expensive?

Cyberfish said...

if you think boyfriends are expensive try a girlfriend!...
