BODYLINE SWEET LOLITA DRESS WITH KAWAII RILAKKUMA BEAR APRON! FRILLS & BOWS LOLI JSK, AVATAR WARPAINT MAKEUP, DECORA HAIRSTYLES.
Hello, is there a more ridiculous apron in existence?
We had a fab debate over the Baby, the Stars Shine Bright dress with a Gloomy bear over the front. I mentioned I had a cute Rilakkuma apron (from Kiddyland in Harajuku) and you wanted to see it — so here it is. What’s the consensus? Kawaii or ai-yah? I say some things are so awful that they cross over and become awesome.
Cotton Bale, my rival in the cute cupcake Death Cookbook battle, gave me this Bodyline Lolita dress. It’s no Innocent World, but there are plenty of bows and frills and details, which is enough for a silly photoshoot. The Doraemon band-aids are from a Shinjuku pharmacy, and the look is inspired by… the warpaint in Avatar! (Hey, you can find inspiration anywhere.)
My relatives contributed to my decora hair. The little elephant is a baby toy that I found in my uncle’s office. My cousin in Hong Kong made the glitter-studded headband.
Basil Farrow is not a cat; he is a stuffed doll.
My Scottish Fold loves to be squished him all day long. He’s never scratched or bitten anyone!
Are you on vacation at the moment? I’ve been working hard for CNNGo…
† Customized luggage: how to stand out in the baggage carousel. (I talk about my Jack Skellington suitcase; you know, the one Basil Farrow loves to sit on.)
† 7 affordable last minute getaways: where and how to escape from Asia’s main cities. (I interviewed Yukiro Dravarious for the article! He climbed Mount Takao in style, as you can see in the above photo. The article made it onto CNN Travel’s main page, woo!)
† Sorry Santa, December isn’t all about you. (A photo article: religious and folk festivals in Asia, such as running through flames and scaring kids with masks.)
All of my CNNGo articles to date can be found here. Still need a last-minute Xmas gift? Hmm there are my J-pop books, Tokyo Theme Restaurants + Cute Yummy Time… hey, gotta pay for Basil Farrow’s caviar!
How are you celebrating the Nightmare Before Xmas? I’m thrilled that the Sherlock Holmes movie is getting thumbs ups reviews — I’ll be first in line at the theater tomorrow.
