Moon Power, turn me into a blogger!

Hi, I’m Pauline. I’m just a Sailor Moon nerd who likes to write about Sailor Moon toys and happenings. I also like to discuss bootlegs, and neat art I make.

Animethon 2022!

Welcome back to the blog! I uh… am very aware that I keep making “Happy New Year” posts and then disappearing, but I promise you, it was because I had to move ASAP, start a business course, start a business, plan a convention, get a job, and then catch COVID first LOL. That’s right, it’s…
