All that glitters is sour


Sorry for maybe causing worries: I am not in Japan now, nothing to do with the earthquake and the following catastrophe in my case though:
Truth is my health is still not better and I am in the hospital for more than a month.
Thankfully all my friends are fine too- at least till now.

Disregarding that this is mainly a fashion blog some of the reactions to the nuclear melt down makes we want to make a statement, or more precise, make me want to rant.
That my Japanese friends who don´t get well informed by the Japanese media and often have no possibility to get out of Tokyo and the surrounding areas I can accept. I let them all know that they would be always welcome here with me if the need to...
BUT reading about a few foreign girls who question the dangers of the meltdown make me not only angry, they disgust me.
Saying it may cause cancer but this and that can also cause cancer so whatever shows only pure ignorance and dumbness.
Being a person who is battling with cancer for years, having over 30 operations, being tormented by incredible pain and sadness (also for my dear ones) this attitude feels like a slap in the face.
My cancer very well was maybe triggered by Chernobyl. I couldn't flee from that as a baby but as an adult I would have run as far as I could knowing what cancer can mean.
And to see girls risking their health because they have a boyfriend waiting,blabla....
See, not one guy in the world is worth risking your health. Maybe 10-20 perfect guys would but certainly not only one. (Also not only Japan has great men.)

Apart of that, everyone in Japan (including my ex-boyfriends) are telling me how glad they are that I am at a safe place because they would worry about me.
That is what true care and love look likes: Wanting someone you like safe rather than close to you.

Rant aside, in my last post I said I´ll post the other clothes I got from the outlet store too and here it is, shown in some lonely and sad one person purikura XD:




So, the high-waist Moussy skirt with gold buttons is what Mr.T got me from Odaiba´s outlet store.
Again it´s little bit big on me so I wear it usually with a belt.

The rest of the outfit:
Fur hat: Hatsville, a cute hat shop on "the little Center-gai"
Black sheer blouse: Mitsumaru Layla Rose
Belt: Forever 21, I think maybe...XD;

Bunny Year, Bunny Year


Again I have to apologize for the lack of posts - no internet and a bunch of bad news regarding my health and mobility were the cause.
2011 brought me some very positive things though too that hopefully will result into bigger positive changes.

Today- a quick post about my New Year celebration- part 1. Originally I planned a nice date-like-thing at the Disney Sea countown event but date got seriously sick perfectly on the 31th and I was without any other plan - plus couldn´t walk properly due to back and hip problems. Not exactly promising factors but it still turned out to be the best New Year so far. A quick research with some of my friends resulted in an ivitation to a family trip to Izu by a guy friend (His father is a CEO so my guess was that it would have been a pretty nice trip. Still I am not not crazy enough to intrude poor families I have never met before on their rare vacation.) and a posh sounding club event my room-mate could bring me in as a guest and another friend asking me to come to club Ageha.

But when my girl Megu was free and wanting to meet up everything was set for a long night in Shibuya.
Shibuya at New Year is a mixture of pumped up tourists looking for the exciting new year party the travelled for and mostly failing because of alcohol and lack of easy acessable parties and the usual Shibuya young going-out crowd.
Though they were masses of people around we still managed to run into my Ex (working at Club Camelot in the good part of Shibuya) and since he is always nice to me and my friends- gave me a ticket to get in for free and Megu and her a friend ones to get in for 1000 Yen.
A big help for us when you consider that the New Year events in clubs in Japan are usually the most expensive ones of the whole year.
I wasn´t really nice to him though- talking about a guy friend and not really listening to his questions if it was me he saw the other day. That was not in evil spirit though- I was fashion-ly disabled: My new fur ear warmer-hat-thing from Chille by Anap is incredibly warm but makes me half-deaf. Sorry my Ex!
More on my start to 2011 next time. Thanks for reading!^^

Outfit I introduced before but:
Fur hat thing: Chille by Anap
Top: Asos
Skirt: Delyle
Tights: Tutuanna

Sadly I don´t know where the fittng sexy twin outfit from Megu is from. If someone is interested I can ask though!^^

Khaki-Leopard-Minihats-Knee Highs

For a change a calm and nice quick outfit post.

I took lonely purikura at a day I was running around busy in Shibuya and wanted to have a make up break without going to a cafe, so instead I choose the brightly lit purikura machines.
The results aren´t too overwhelming but you can see my eclectic autumn 2010 style:


Leo ruffle shirt: still from Anap

Jumper: 3 years old sale item from Mango. One of the staff girls in 109 asked me actually where I got it from and was shocked when I told it is not only old but was also cheap (about 1500-2000 Yen?). XD

Knee Highs: Tutuanna, the shop where I lately spend every second day. It is chain which primarily focuses on fashion for your legs: socks, tights, leg warmers,... with a bit of underwear and PJs mixed in. I will make a post about the glory of their recent releases soon!
Disney Sea´s Shelly may and my legs show you the product in it´s original form:


You could apparently only buy it in the Tutuanna near Shibuya´s center-gai and since that was the last one left in that color, I guess it is sold-out now.
It contains a tiny bit wool so it is warm but didn´t make my legs red and hurting (I have the typical red-blond people problem of sensitive skin so wool is normally a no-go for me.).

Did you guys gave in on the trends of knee highs, leg warmers and so on too?

Hair Modelling 101 / Purikura





This week I had the chance to do nice some small-scale modelling again for a a line of hair salons in the Shibuya area. A Hip Hop event of friends was the day before so I did not get much sleep and felt generally rather sick which shows in my face but apart of that it was a sweet working day.

On my way to the salon I ran straight into a big group photo shoot for the magazine Men`s Egg, THE publication for Gyaru-o, which was already the 2nd time in 2 weeks. Male models pave, or rather stand annoyingly in my way.
Getting around the shooting I reached the salon which had a relaxed Semi-European, antique charm to it. Lots of white and decorated mirrors mixed with Biedermeier furniture.

I was allowed to choose how I wanted my hair cut and styled, which also means there is no interesting change at all to it. After that I was meeting up with my friend Megu for dinner and more. We also took some Purikura (the pictures on top) where you can see more of the outfit and hair.
Skirt is from Shibuya 109 brand Delyle, which concept is to be basically a sluttier, cheaper version of Chanel. Think lots of black, pink and white, chain bags, and prints using images like the Chanel No 5 flacon.
The shirt is from English store Asos, is one-shouldered one one side and opens up on the other side- a nice feature when temperatures are around 35 degrees.
Hope you enjoy your summer!
