I'M BACK
I am sorry I've been out for so long. I decided to take a little break but I'm back. Anyway, don't give up on me!!!
HauteDoll Magazine
Last month I wrote a post about Dollfies. If you were interested in those amazing dolls, you'll surely love this magazine. It introduces different types of dolls and the artists who create them. Of course the items inside them are very expensive, but each issue is $9. And there's alot of stuff in there so I think it's a pretty good deal. Some of the dolls really amaze me. The people that create them make them seem so real. Not just by the aperance, but as though the dolls have souls. Maybe they do, well as I was saying, if you see a copy of this magazine, pick it up.
Gothic&Lolita Bible
One of my hobbies is buying Japanese fashion magazines. I love looking at the styles and stuffed animals. I had already heard of the Gothic&Lolita Bible, I knew it was supposed to be really good. So when I saw an issue in a comic shop I had to get it, the greatest thing about it was that I could read it, yes, it was in English. And yet I enjoy the original Japanese copies too, I haven't learned enough Japanese to read them yet. (Though I'm taking classes.) So I was really glad to find one in English. The only thing about the translated version is that they change somethings. They put more things in about the Lolita style in the U.S., but most of it is the same, so I'm happy. The thing that sets most other fashion mags aside is that there's also alot of writing, and information on musicians. There's a little bit of every thing in it! So check it out!
The Lolrus and his Bukkit
This is a great example of a lol story. I really don't understand why a walrus would need a bucket, but I know that it makes me laugh. For the whole story go to:

Merrymaking by An Cafe
I love this song. It's one of An Cafe's more peppy songs. And just to let you know, the blonde one in the skirt is guy, his name is Bou and sadly he's not in the band anymore. Anyway, enjoy the video!
Summer
It's Summer time now and for most school and work is out, but for others all I can say is hang in there! Summer is alot of peoples' favorite season, but though I enjoy Ihaving the ability to relax, it's not my fave. I usually don't like the extreams of weather, but that's just me. Anyway, just like Winter, Spring and Autumn, Summer has it's styles too. So I'm excited to see what crazy trends will emerge. :3
Subbed vs. Dubbed
When watching a foreign show or movie, it can be difficult deciding which to pick: subbed or dubbed. From my perspective, for especially anime, I think I enjoy the subtitled, original version. I mean, the dubbed version is usually okay, but you just don't get the emotion of how it was suppose to sound. Also, in dubbed versions, they change somethings that the characters say. But, there is one good thing about dubbed versions, they're easy to watch and understand. It's kind of better to watch dubs if you're not familiar with the story and/or are not used to reading subtitles. So, it's up to you as to which you pick, but just keep these these things in mind.
Nerdy Cuteness!
Okay, okay, I am a total nerd. But I am proud of it. I mean, what's wrong with it? Anyway, even though the Anime Con near me is about a year away, I've really been thinking about who I'll be for cosplay. The character I dressed as last year was perfect, and was a big hit, so this year I want to be someone who is just as good, or better. I have had a few ideas, but they just don't seem recognizable enough. Then, I got into watching a series called Rozen Maiden. The story is super complicated so I can't really explain it, but believe me, it's great. Also, the character I would most likely dress as, is sooo cute, and her outfit is even cuter. If you want to know more about this series, go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rozen_Maiden
Reasoning
I am very sad, my tiny floating turtle recently passed away. It is harder than you would think to take care of small animals. Sometimes giving them everything they need isn't enough, they're just not made to live for long periods of time, usually. I believe that most things happen for good reasons. We just don't realize them yet.
BOOM BOOM Meccha Maccho Story Version
A little while ago I posted the the dance shot version of this song. Now I also have the story version. So if you want more dance, watch the other one, if you want story watch this one, or watch both. Any way you choose, I think you'll like it!
Kawaii News! vol.1
Oh, sorry, I couldn't write about Kawaii on Monday because I was sick, so I'll just write today. Okay, suddenly there has been a huge Cuteness Phase with many countries. I have noticed that many movies, cartoons, and toys are kind of being inspired by anime. The characters' eyes are getting bigger and bigger, and the expressions on the faces are more exaggerated, well not that American cartoons weren't already exaggerated enough. There is now some anime playing on Nickelodeon, I think it's great that people on the other side the earth can see the glory of anime. A few years ago Tokyo Pop books decided to make manga that was made of the stars of Disney. Whether people know it or not, Anime and Manga are becoming more mainstream in other countries.
Shoes!
If you ask me, sometimes shoes are the most important part of what you wear. If you're not wearing the right shoes, you could totally mess up an outfit. When I shop, I try to buy clothing to go with the shoes I have. I mean, you want to do your shoes justice, if you think about it, shoes do big favors for you. And I know this might be a huge bias, but most men kind of have it easy. My dad buys only 3 or 4 pairs of shoes to last for as long as they're in one piece! (No offence daddy, I luv you!) Anyway, I've gotten way off the subject as always. But what I'm really trying to say is that you should honor your shoes, they do a great deal for you!
Creative Videos
I think Japanese music videos are so creative. They each are as upbeat and entertaining as the songs! I love Jpop and Jrock so much! Don't you? Anyway, the song is Robo Kiss by W (Double You) .
Pit Bulls
I don't care what anyone says, I think Pit Bulls are wonderful.I have one and she is the sweetest dog you could ever meet! When someones at the door, they will be protective and bark, but that's good, because you don't want a dog that's going to let an intruder get away! My dog for some reason thinks she's a little puppy, when she's really a 65 pound 2 year old. She loves to lay on your lap and sleep with me under the covers with a teddy bear, of course! She also only likes tiny male dogs. I love my baby and I wish the world could see that Pit Bulls aren't vicious monsters. Above is a picture of my dog from Halloween.
Dollfies
These are the best dolls in the world! Number 1: the dolls themselves are gorgeous, but the clothing and shoes are made better than most of the things I wear. The price range of finished dolls is anywhere from $108 to about $1,000. These dolls might be a bit pricey, but believe me, they're worth it.
Yoshitomo Nara & Takashi Murakami
These are two of my favorite artists. Yes, they're both Japanese, but that has nothing really to do with why I like them. There's a quirky beauty to the mad faces of the girls Nara creates and the colorful pooping elephants Murakami makes. They somehow seem to connect these weird images with their traditional Japanese roots. If you haven't already heard of them, make sure to check them out. In the meantime, look at the wonderful pictures displayed above.
Books
Okay, Lets take a break from fashion and talk about something that is fun, informative, portable, and passes the time-READING! I love books. But I'm kind of picky when it comes to choosing the best ones. I'm not the fastest reader, unless I'm reading a creepy classic that's full of suspense. I mean, I can read quickly, but when I read I don't want to rush. I want to take in the beauty of the book, sometimes read sentences over again. But as I said earlier, if I'm reading something scary, I seem to zip right through them. It's not that I'm more interested in them, but there is just something about spine-chilling stories that make me want to read more and more. Anyway, all I'm trying to say is that if your bored, the best thing to do is read. Because "Reading Is Magic"!
Steampunk
Steampunk is an interesting fashion that began in the 80's and 90's. It is based on the early Victorian look, but has an edgy flare. Recently I have been attempting airbrush. Now, your probably thinking: "Why is she talking about airbrush when she's suppose to be talking about this zany style?" Well, believe me, I may be crazy but I know what I'm talking about! Steampunk is a genre of 
art. Many movies such as Steamboy and The Golden Compass use this fantasy like technique. I saw the clothing and was amazed. Then I was 
thinking:"Hey! This stuff looks exactly like the Tokyo Street Fashion!" And if you think about it, it is. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steampunk
Su-Pa Kawaii News!!!
I have decided that every week or so I will write a new thing about the concept of KAWAII and about new ideas and things going on with the Tokyo street fashion. I will start next Monday. So remember to check in! BYE!

HELLO KITTY
Wow, I have to give props to Hello Kitty. She's been around for about 30 years, and is still able to appear youthful, and continue with her extremely joyful and bubbly personality! How does that girl do it!!!
Preppy Or Punk
OK, I have been talking alot about Japane-se fashion but I care about American fashion too! If you ask me, fashion is fashion, and shouldn't really be split into sections. Recently I've been asking my self: If I had to be put into a certain group such as "preppy" or "punk" what would it be? And then I realized that I can't be put into a group. No one can. We are just ourselves, and we should have the freedom to have a different look each day!
When New Meets Old
We know combining different styles is fun, so mixing two time periods should be even more fun. Victorian dresses and wigs can be mixed with urban trends! Kimonos can be merged with baby-doll dresses! Actually, that's already been done. The style is called Waloli, or Wa Lolita. Above is a great example! Wow I sooo wish I had that dress!

Tokyo Street Fashion
I think a big inspiration for my personal style and the art that I make is Tokyo Street Fashion. The way the Japanese put things together amazes me. They're not afraid they're going to look silly or whatever, because that's partially the point. There outfits may look crazy to you, but in Japan it's an ordinary, every day look. My favorite aspect of Tokyo Street Fashion is the Baby doll-lolita look. The women and teens that dress in this fashion intend to look like little girls. You know, puffy sleeves, big petticoats, that kind of stuff. Many of them carry around stuffed animals or dolls, to magnify the childish look. There are actually different styles of this look. There is the classic Lolita, the elegant Lolita,the sweet lolita, the Gothic lolita, the punk lolita, and more. You don't have to wear a big dress to follow this style, as you can probably tell, on the streets of Tokyo it's exaggerated. All you have to wear is a cute puff-sleeved T-shirt and your favorite skinny jeans. Don't forget a bow in the hair! If you match that with some kawaii accessories, you'll be baby dolled-up and ready to go!
