kiss is short for "kisekae set system", a term derived from the japanese phrase "kisekae ningyou" (playing dress-up with dolls). in essence they are interactive dolls for your computer. to play you'll need a free program located at otakuworld.
This is Cassiopeia X, Intergalatic Spy and Empress of the Stars! She is my space-themed doll for the first ever KiSS Theme Challenge. This set is a little Barbarella, a little Star Trek... and a little dash of funkiness. Live long and prosper, baby!
A little something different for my fourth year participating in the KiSSTown Advent Calendar(2005)-- a "build-your-own" gingerbread house kit, done in an isometric style. It comes with all the candy and icing you need to create all sorts of sweet architecture. Plus plenty of little gingerbread men and women to play with! Happy Holidays!

Presenting Zahirah, the strange and beguiling bellydancer, performing one night only in the Moroccan room! See her do the dance of the seven veils! Marvel as she balances a sharpened sword on her head! Gaze in wonder at her undulations and gyrations! The music, the magic, the mystery -- that is Zahirah.
This set is my attempt at a 24-hour doll -- all the artwork and coding for Maria was done in one day. Whew! She ended up a saucy little Valentine's day KiSS, with plenty of heart-shaped accessories.
Marzipan is my submission for the 2004 KiSSTown Advent Calendar. She is a winter fashion doll, with a light color/pastel wardrobe just to mix it up a litte. She also comes with bits and pieces to make snowmen with. Yay for winter fun!
This is a tribute to the freaky, big-eyed fashion doll Blythe. Containing many authentic Blythe fashions, as well as some original to this set, there is a whole lot of mix-n-matching possible with this little cutie.
Created for the KiSS Town annual Advent Calendar 2003, this set is meant to be a little holiday treat to brighten up a cold wintery evening. I felt using a chibi-style for Estelle and her wardrobe would up the "kawaii-ness" of the set.

Cherry's a typical 1950's teenager with a problem: she doesn't know whether to be a good girl... or a bad girl. So with a few clicks her wardrobe can change from sweet 'n' innocent to hot 'n' bothered. Most of Cherry's clothing cycle through 3 or 4 different color combos when clicked on. Her expression also changes through clicking.
Lotte is a tribute to the decadent Berlin cabaret culture in the 1920's, with a little dash of the recent movie Chicago thrown into the mix. Her wardrobe is filled with garters, feathers and perhaps a lethal weapon or two.
She is a character of my own creation. A legend of the swamps, no one truly knows who she is or where she came from. Some say she was a cursed bayou widow, other say an elemental creature from the bogs.
Annwyll means "beloved" in Gaelic, and the name suits her. She is an elf, a favorite of the forest spirits, because she listens to the sighs of the trees. She's also mercurial, changing appearance as the mood takes her. She's my first attempt at both a fantasy-theme doll as well as an experiment in menu design.
She's the twelve-year-old star of her own Disney Channel cartoon. I love her self-confidence and unique fashion sense. Most of the outfits I included in this set were straight from the show, but I did add a couple of my own pieces as well. This doll was fun to make!
Originally meant to be a second entry in the Kiss Town Advent Calendar 2002, this set took a little longer than I thought -- and by then there was already a wonderful snowman-themed set released. I still like my little guy, though, so I offer him as a special treat to visitors to my site.
She was my 2002 entry in the KissTown Advent Calendar. I wanted to create a set that was cute and playful -- a perfect mix for the holiday season.
