I like the unusual ways of putting things together.  Even if sometimes it's tacky or clashes, at least it's quirky and unique.  I'd much rather see a quirky, distinctly Japanese outfit than just another boring copy of mainstream American fashion.

I don't really care for EGL stuff, though.  Girls who dress up like frilly little porcelain dolls and spend all day doing nothing but hanging out in the park hoping to be noticed. . . it all seems utterly pointless to me -_- .

There are people in Japan who try to dress "white" or "black" all the time, as well.  I don't think there's anything wrong with appreciating another culture, and borrowing elements of their style.  I just think some people go overboard with it, that's all.

I think all the people of the world are cool in their own way, so people should embrace their own culture even as they try to learn about and appreciate others.

I like the way kimono look, but to wear them properly is so complex O_o; .  From what I've heard, the proper way to wear a kimono is actually becoming a lost art in Japan, and I've heard they have classes to teach young women how to put them on, because it's just not being passed down through families anymore.

Mostly because kimono are so complex, I prefer yukata, myself.  I wanna get one, but I'll try to wait until I lose more weight.  Japanese people are generally soo thin, it's hard for people like me to fit their clothes ;_; .

 I got an asian hollywood(label) pink with asian gold design and on the sides black vinyl with big pins,it's a mini skirt. I bought it at a fetish boutique in Madison Wisconsin, called "The Cats Meow", MEEEOW! ;)

 I love the punk look, and a little sexy thing to wear for my husband, and myself.
