Avon pin & Sailor Pluto's Garnet Orb staff Key, art imitating life or life imitating art?

The best thing is when you find something in a cartoon, anime, any show or movie you see and are able to buy that exact same thing. You feel even more apart of the show/movie and this is why merchandise that are in the forms of products seen on these shows and movies that get sold in stores are so popular. 

Sometimes movies and TV shows look to designers for inspiration or just sometimes it is the other way around. 

An unofficial book was 

 published shows the show and how reality are combined in statues and places. This book is called :

"Warriors of Legend: Reflections of Japan in Sailor Moon"

When it comes to Sailor Moon much can be seen in this anime and in the manga. 

Princess Serenity's dress, Sailor Pluto's Manga outfit, Wicked Lady manga/anime outfit pose and in Sailor Pluto's Garnet Orb staff key.. You can see a small  touch the signs of art imitating life and life imitating art.
