    I love the outfit <3
    I wondered; did you have to bleach your hair before dying it the pink-red colour?

    - And did you here about Tokyo Decadance on tour??? DJ Sisen will be in Denmark!

      Awww yay for SiSEN! You’ll have to take lots of photos.

      It is absolutely necessary to bleach haha, as my hair is very dark naturally. My stylist brushes on bleach, wraps it in tin foil and heats it for 30 min or so, then lets it cool… it’s a process!

      Thanks! It’s Scarlet Empress by Nars. I decided I needed a new, hot shade. ;)

    I love that dress! Plaid is great. =) I'm sad that I probably won't get to see you at your NYC book signing because I will be out of town. Boo! But on an other note… I don't know if you ever got to Forever 21 but they just came out with a new line called Twist and its all about punky gothy skirts and tops with a slight lolita twist like tulle or ruffles. You should check it out. I think they have it on their website as well as in stores.

      Aww so sad that you’ll miss it! I haven’t checked it out — perhaps I shall stop by the F21 in Harajuku heh heh

    Lovely photos as usual. I love the hair too and the plaid dress is the shizzit. I just dyed my hair a deep plum color (it is subtle but looks great in the sunlight) but I have to admit to loving really bright color like yours though at my age (41) not probably age appropriate (unless I was Gwen Stefani or something!).

      Always age appropriate! It’s about how you wear it and dress it up… and more importantly, how it makes you feel. <3

    Nice Photos! I love that dress. So cool that you're getting TV work!

    Here in Arizona, our summer really ends at the beginning of August, so the new school/work year has already been going for some time…it's depressing knowing people elsewhere have been on vacation ;o;
