Hyme Gyaru – Princess Fashion In Tokyo

Monday, June 30th, 2008

People are always asking me to write more often, well here you go, I looked up some info on ‘gothic japan’.

The many faces of street fashion in Japan never ceases to amaze, from gothic lolitas to ganguro, theres always something exciting going on. Today well see two videos about Hime Gyaru or Hime Style. A fashion trend about looking like a pseudo-Victorian princess and apparently adding as much curls and volume to your hair as possible. I guess you could also call it blond Amy Winehouse style. These two videos deal particularly with a store that specializes in Hime Gyaru clothing called Je

Fashion. Feh.

Monday, June 30th, 2008

Today I was digging for some info on ‘fashion jeans’ and came across the following paragraph:

I saw a woman with low-cut jeans (hip-huggers, renamed something else a few years ago) and thong underwear peaking up above the jeans. It struck me as two things: #1: An incredibly stupid look, and the uncomfortably unsexy while seeming to be meant to be sexy (and in this case it was by a skinny woman who theoretically was someone who, quote in quote could wear it, but it still just looks awful). #2: A fashion which we passed through around 2002 and perhaps tapering off for a couple years

This Week in Mashups (06/21/2008)

Monday, June 30th, 2008

People are always asking me to write more often, well here you go, I looked up some info on ‘cure mp3′.

The past few weeks have been heavily occupied with moving, work and the rest of lifes fantastic offeringsthat being said, Ive still been trying to do my best with keeping up with my favorite bootleggers, dj BC included. No idea when this dropped, and maybe I am a bit behind the times, but all the same I think that this is the most experimental collection hes done. Attempting to balance lyrically-focused MCs with avant electronic composers doesnt sound like an easy task, and while its la

The First Time Watching ‘The Third Man’

Photo: Criterion Collection It’s been a while since I turned in a Cinematic Revival piece and that is primarily due to the fact that I found another way to discuss Tarsem Singh’s The Cell (see article here) and after watching Martin Scorsese’s Mean Streets I really didn’t have anything to say, it didn’t interest me one way or another even though I certainly didn’t hate it. Harvey Keitel is the best I have ever seen him in that film. I haven’t seen a lot of Harvey’s earlier pictures outside o

Marilyn Manson’s Absinthe ‘Kills’

Monday, June 30th, 2008

People are always asking me to blog more often, well here i go, I searched for some information on ‘gothic punk clothing’.

Marilyn Mansons girlfriend Evan Rachel Wood has done little to dispel questions over the potency of his new brand of Absinthe. The actress has confessed that even she cant handle the heady brew marketed as “Mansinthe.” For my birthday, I did one shot to try it, and that was it, Wood reveals. I was drunk immediately. Being who he is, Manson wanted to make it as strong as it could possibly be, so its got the highest amount of wormwood that you can have legally. One shot of it,

Walking in Second Life. It's a mystery!

Sunday, June 29th, 2008

I’ve a passion for Gothic and keep looking for information on it. Today, I checked if I could find more info by entering ‘goth outfits’ in Google and found this:

Things have been a little hectic for JMB lately. And it doesn’t help that she’s been fooling around quite a bit in Second Life! Oh well, who needs sleep anyway? Now I have a question for you. Do you think there is any resemblance between JMB Balogh and the real JMB? Well I’m talking about the one in the photo which was posted here for Photo Hunt last Saturday. Even that photo was taken about 25 years ago, when I was in my late forties. Naturally in Second Life I am recreating someone starting i
