† Name/URL: B. Jevanael.
† Age: 22
† Location: Canada (and Tokyo Sept. 21 – Oct. 5)
† How were you introduced to Gothic Lolita fashion?
I was in my first year of high school, and I was one of those anime geeks! It just so happened that I accidentally clicked on a link to a jrock band on my travels through a Card Captor Sakura site ring – and it was love at first sight!
† What do you find appealing about GL style and culture?
I love the expression of individuality and the mix of Japanese traditionalism in the modernization of the styles. Japan is such a fascinating place where you can find a Buddhist temple on one side of the street, and a Starbucks on the other, and it certainly shows that sense of culture in the styles.
† What are your favorite GL clothing brands?
h.NAOTO is my favourite, followed by Putumayo. Quite a mix there…
† Any other comments?
I’m a fellow writer! I’m currently writing a book which I’ll be in Tokyo to conduct research for (supermandisposition.wordpress.com), about the traditionalism sneaking into the modernization of Japanese life (and part memoir!). I recently began talks with an agent who is interested in representing me, so I’m really excited. Six novels under my belt and it took one non-fiction to hit it big, it’s such a strange business!
