Ikea + Onsen

2012-01-27T15:40:00.003+01:00

Hello Dear Readers! ♥

So it's daily life here. Still it doesn't feel like I'm really here. I don't know. It's somehow wierd. Do you know those moments when you're just standing there, in a crowd of people, still, and it feels like your in some kind of a bubble? Like if you weren't there. You just imagine it? Or dream it? It sometimes feels like that for me. Hard to explain haha :D But I just sometimes feel like it's not the reality. I still can't really get it hahaha
Been talking about it for years and now I'm here and can't realise it, just too awkward haha :D

Well now, since my apartment had only the necessairy things I went to Ikea with my friend Severine in the first week of January just after school had started. Just bought diffrent things I "need" for daily life. Yeah a plant, hahaha, I need that for daily life. No, that was actually to bring a little bit of life in my lonely apartment. Since I'm living alone here I feel a little bit lonely sometimes, but because I'm kept quite busy it's not that often.

Do you know what the weirdest thing was about ikea? THE FOOD! It was sooooo weird to eat the meatballs there and they just tasted EXACTLY the same they do in the ikea in Switzerland. Well of course they do, but still. It always has been so european to me, haha, strange right?

You can see my little planty! It's now on top of the mini mini mini TV I have in my apartment. Just for that plant I'm opening the curtains every day so it can get some sunlight. If it wasn't there I think I wouldn't open my curtains at all! :D

These were the houses near ikea. Honestly, I wouldn't want to live there!

Since Severine and me had been kept so busy and Severine still had some trainticket, she asked me to go to Hakone together with her. Of course I agreed! Ok, I wasn't sure at first, since it took us over 100minutes to go there, because we couldn't use special lines, ONLY JR. But I'm happy I agreed since the Onsen was aaaaawesomeness pure and just what I needed after those busy days.

Hakone Station from the outside where our bus left.

Hakone is really diffrent to Tokyo, although it's not that far away, it's much less noisy and more quite. Also mooooore nature like. We went there to a Onsen place called Tenzan. The price wasn't expensive at all. About 1200yen without time restriction. One can also buy a towel there for like 350yen. So really not expensive. The onsen can be reached by a short busride of 10 minutes which only costs 100yen. Honestly, I've neeeeever been in a bus that small! Or well, at least that low! Like you all know I'm not the smallest person, so when I was standing on both legs, straight, my head totaly hit the roof! So I wasn't able to stand straight lol. Besides that the bus was sooooo packed, that we didn't have a chance to get a seat. It was a uneasy ride, but luckily it didn't last long.

Arrived there we had to get our tickets out of machines like that. Sorry for the blurry pic. Took it after leaving from the onsen and then it was already dark, so my keitai didn't wanna take a nice pic..

However, the onsen was awesome! Before entering the hot springs we washed ourselfs very well. Stupid foreigners as we are we wanted to enter the hottest spring of them first, lol :D Since we didn't know that it was the hottest. I really couldn't enter because it hurt my feet like hell! x__X Luckily a woman was kind enough to explain us in english, that it was the hottest and we should start at one outside. Said, done. Muuuuuch better! There were many mothers with their kids, oh god, we really had cutness flashes hahaha

We enjoyed staying at the onsen, and I've never felt cleaner than after that. One plus point was also, after onsen I was 300g less heavy :D

So if you ever get the chance to go to Hakone, I can warmely recommand you to go to Tenzan. Really quiet and nice atmosphere. The staff were really friendly and kindly helped us when we had questions. The only minus point was, that there was nothing written in English, but that's nothing new in Japan, so one just has to cope with it. We for our part didn't have a problem with it

Hello again blurry pics haha :D

No pics of myself here since I was so tired on that day and was looking really messed up. To be honest we went clubbing from saturday to sunday (sunday was onsen-day), so yah, you can imagine what I looked like after not that much sleep ;D

First days in Japan

2012-01-17T13:23:00.003+01:00

Hello Dear readers!

Has been a while hasn't it? ♥

I've been so busy arranging my life here that I didn't find time to blog. Also my motivation for it was a little down since I could think of 10 other things that were more important. Gomen ne!
But yeah, here I am now and finally found time. Ok actually I should be studying now! Got a kanji test tomorrow! The school's quite strict. Got homework EVERY day and have to turn them in the next day. besides that I've got at least 1 test every week. But it's fine I guess. That way we'll at least learn japanese more efficiently. My class actually consists of about 22 students of which 19 are chinese and 3 not. Nice one! Chinese means at this place easy kanji learning, what makes it harder for us non chinese since it takes us longer to understand and remember the kanji.. D: It's really giving me a hard time! Especially since I have to study some of the old Kanji because I'd been learning them in a diffrent order, so I don't know all of the kanji they learned before, urgh D:

But yah, enough about having a hard time at school for now :D

On my day leaving for Japan my flight had 4,5 hours delay! UGH! but okay, that way I had more time to spend with my family what actually was very nice!

It was especially hard for me to say good bye to my mum since we've always been like good friends and I knew that she'll be all alone at home. So I really felt bad leaving her (;A; ) Suprise Suprise, we both cried when saying good bye. The good thing, she'll be visiting me here in Japan in the encd of March. I'm sooooo looking forward to it! We'll be going together to Kyoto since I've got holidays the same time, hihi! Aaaaaand it'll be her birthday! So we'll be celebrating that as well! HAPPY! ^__^

↓my plane when I left. there was so much fog that you couldn't nearly see ANYTHING! O__O

Arrived in Japan I managed to buy the wrong trainticket hahaha since I mistook the names of the train, skyliner and NEX. JUHUU! So I had to change trains at Nihonbashi. Fine. Easier said than done. I had 2!! have suitcases + a heavy bag for my carry-on luggage and my LV-Handbag. On my changingway I manage to break my bigger suitcase.. >_>

Finally in Shinjuku I took the wrong exit hahaha although I've been living in a hotel on the same side as my apartment is, I still took the wrong exit. Those of you who have been in Shinjuku before, they know how hard it is to get to the other side if you have taken the wrong exit. I dragged my luggage some 100 meters until I finally could take a cap to bring me to my apartment. Thank god it didn't cost more than I had planned for it.
After leaving the cap I was able to get my key easily and enter my apartment. I was positively surprised since I started to imagine it as being worse. But actually it's really fine! I'm happy with it. The room is a little bigger than I had imagined, just the kitchen is a little eww, but it's alright.

Btw I have already changed some things, like bedding sheets and stuff. Bought also cutsey stuffs so I would feel more at home. I'll show you when I have completed my purchases here ;)
Then I'll make an apartment-introduction-entry! ♥

Also to feel homely right away I bought these things at a store nearby:

muumi! Part of my childhood and origin! lovely!
So I arrived at 28th, 4.5 hours too late, what made it impossible to go to immigration bureau for my alien reg card. Wanted to get it right away so I could get a mobile phone. So, FAIL! On 29th I was supposed to meet friends who were here on holiday, 2nd FAIL! One of them was ill (;_; ) luckily he got better soon! So I just made some purchases for my apartment like cooking utensils and stuff on 29th. After that on 30th I went to an Exte Salon with Conny! Nicola helped us a lot at that point, THANK YOU! Honestly! I'm so thankful! After the exte we went to Karaoke, was really fun! ♥
On 31st I met two friends! First V. and later on Severine! A lovely girl who's attending the same school as I am. She's also writing a blog, so check it out here: Petit Pain d'Epice
We are really similar and I've grown to like and to value her! It's always fun hanging out with her! We've already taken maaaany purikura, but I'll show them to you later ♥

a pic from ALTA-Shopping Center in Shinjuku ↓

So since it was New Years Eve we went to a hairmake and after to Ikebukuro to meet Conny and her friends there. We went direclty to an Izakaya. Was so tasty and so much fun! ♥
They still met some other friends before 00:00 so Severine and me went to Shinjuku for Karaoke alone. Since we both can't sing at all it sounded terrible haha, but it was fun!

We parted at about 1 o'clock and I made a visit to a shrine near to my place. It was soooooo crwoded that I couldn't see where the line started and where it ended! It was sooo crazy! So I decided to let it go and went there at about 9pm on 1.1 instead. (accompanied by Severine ;D)
Finally pics taken with my better cam, the Nikon one! There were still people lining up! O_O

So now, I will talk about the last days more in my next entry. Too much going on to write about it all in just one entry! Hope it's not too boring to read.. ^^;

Visiting Düsseldorf~♥

2011-12-12T20:59:00.010+01:00

Hello dear readers!

How have you been? I hope you’re all doing fine! I’m so busy lately it’s unbelievable! It’s hard for me to find free evenings to even meet up with friends! UGH! That’s just not funny anymore! That will keep up until January.. so many plans! But the good thing is, I will get to see all my friends before I leave and the biggest news of all: I’VE FOUND AN APARTMENT! YAAY! I’m so god damn relieved that I have one. And luckily it’s even in Shinjuku. I guess by looking at the map and knowing a hotel nearby where I’m gonna live, it’s about 15-20 minutes by foot from Shinjuku Station. It’s all furnished and utilities + internet are included in the rent. In addition I will be able to move in right away on 28.12.! Really.. I feel so relieved! But I will maybe talk more about the apartment later when I'm actually there.

So for now I want to talk to you about my weekend in Düsseldorf visiting Theresa again from 2. - 4. December. I had 1/2 day free on friday so I was able to leave for Düsseldorf at 12:12. I had to change trains at Mannheim and unfortunately my train heading there was LATE! Yes, thank you! Luckily I thought about that beforehand and chose the connection where I'd have 15 minutes time to change trains, what did I have left in the end? 3 minutes! Great! Luckily I made it. The bad thing was that I had reserved a seat, but wasn't able to get there since I went to the wrong carriage (?) and it were two trains connected together.. great.. so there I stood with 2 others sharing the same faith and waiting. Waiting.. waiting.. so we could change to the train in front where our seats were reserved. Sadly we got told that our reservation would be invalid after 15 minutes.. GREAT! And that's what I paid for an extra fee?.. bad system! Well then, we stood there waiting, at least for about 20-25 minutes when somebody came to check our tickets. She understood our miserable situation and gently led us to the 1. class of the train where she asked us to sit down. We were all just like "HUH?! U kidding me?" and then she even said that she wouldn't charge us extra and we just could sit there! Wow! Nice! Thanks :D

The crazy thing was, that there even came a young man asking us if we'd want to read a newspaper haha! Really not used to that! But yah, had a good stay in the first class for the trip :P

At 4 30pm I arrived in Düsseldorf and we straightly went eating at Naniwa! We did have to wait a little, but that wasn't tragic since I wasn't really thaaaat hungry. Even though I ended up ordering a whole menue.. and I looooooved it! It was sooooo tasty! Oh my god!
To show you I stole one of Theresas pics she took. I hope she's not mad! So all credits go to her >_<

The rest of the evening we stayed at her home enjoying the companionship. I even took the time to curl my exte. Although I've been really too lazy to do such things lately. I was determined to get dolled up a little bit for the purikura the next day.

Well we stood up quite early on saturday and just made the neccessairy things so we could get started fast after returning from shopping before going to take the purikura. Sadly it was raining quite strong outside and surprise surprise none of us had an umbrella. Haha! :D Typical!
We made our way to the city to stroll around some stores to buy some overknee socks, a bag and just other stuff we could find. Theresa bought a loooot more things then I did. I was just a fool again and spend money on too expensive things! I should train my brain to not get it having an error when there's something I wanna buy but shouldn't (;A; )
And ugh, we were dead when we arrived at her home with all the shopping bags! The bad thing, it was already really late why we had to change our meeting time with the others from 5pm to 5 30pm. Felt so bad about it...! Because we were running late we didn't have time to relax but got right away to dolling up. Luckily I had curled the extensions the evening before so I didn't have to do that much and we got ready in time. Thank god it had even stopped raining.
So we met up with Thanh Thao (she should be enjoying her lovely time in new york by now) and C.
I hadn't met both of them before so I felt really thrilled about meeting them that at some point I was just babbling like a crazy old fool, especially at Karaoke, lol :D
Hach, the girls were soooo cute and soooo nice! Really loved meeting them!
Here are the purikura we took together:

The neko-picutre (2nd row, right one) is my favorite from all the purikura we took. Don't know, I just think it's kinda cute because we're all doing the same pose, haha.
After taking the purikura we had like 20-30 minutes left, so we decided to go grab a drink before going karaoke. Actually the bar was... okay.. and I don't know why, but it took them waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay toooo long to make the drinks. it was already past 7 when we finally got our drinks. The bad thing was, in order to still get a vacant room at karaoke we should have been there already at 7pm... And hell yes, I've never drunk a cocktail that fast! I admit, I got a little help from the girls haha

Luckily when we arrived at the karaokebar they still had one vacant room. the big one! Great! That's what we thought, but in fact one of the mics was kinda broken and exchanging it didn't really help. So we ended up singing for 2 hours with just one mic before we could change the room where, thank god, both of them worked!
Karaoke was really much fun! Honestly, I reaaally suck at it. Really badly! I'm faaar faaaaar faaaaaaaaaaar away from a pro! But anyway, it was fun just squeaking the songs and doing stupid moves all along!

Thanh Thao and Theresa sang many japanese songs. Envy them for being able to learn the texts that well! I only sucked with the japanese ones haha although I +/- know the lyrics from yamapis daite senorita :D

We still didn't want to leave after Karaoke right away so we decided to hang out at mc donalds for a while. The place was packed! UGH! but still we had a little time to talk and enjoy our time together. But soon the time came to leave and say good bye! I really really really enjoyed my time with the girls! They're really lovely! Once again, thanks♥

For the credits here one more pic of the girls:

We made our way to Theresas place again where we, just as last time we met, started taking silly pictures. It was reaaaally much fun! haha :D When I browse through the pics now, I still laugh out loud! But yah, some pics just aren't meant to be published so I just settled down with these two:

In bed we still talked a lot. I can't remember what we talked about haha :D I use to talk a lot of nonesense when I'm tired so yah, I guess the things I said weren't maybe that interesting.
The next day already was the day I'd leave again. I packed my stuff really calmly when suddenly, groaaaar, japp, our stomaches! We were kinda hungry. So we decided to head to some restaurant to grab some food. First we wanted to go to Naniwa again (incl. my luggage) but it was packed and people were standing in line to get in there. We decided to go somewhere else and ended up at a restaurant called Takumi! Good choice we made. The restaurant was fabulous! I decided to take some set meal with ramen and curry (I had been craving all weekend long to get some j-curry!). The food was soooo yummy again! Awww! *__*
That weekend I was kinda surprised because of myself haha. I'm not a that big j-food fan, but I just enjoyed the whole food that weekend! Gosh! Couldn't believe my own taste! But I guess that's good since I'm leaving to Japan soon anyway.

Here again the pics are from Theresas Blog, I hope she doesn't mind!

So well, I soon have to start packing for Japan. Somehow I'm a little anxious but still I can't wait!
See you soon again (hopefully!)

Herbstmesse and this & that

2011-11-29T20:14:00.004+01:00

Hello dear Readers! ♥

It's horrible how busy I've become in the last few weeks! Always going somewhere. All my weekends fully booked out until I leave for Japan. ugh! Then also all the things I have to consider before I leave. I wouldn't have thought that there would be that much to take care of. Of all those things the one that's worrying me the most is finding an apartment. Yes I know, doesn't sound like that, but it's really not that funny in Japan! They've got such a diffrent system and all! Besides that apartments in central Tokyo are just horribly expensive. I'm happy if I will be able to find one for about 130'000 yen per month with furniture and everything.. Really difficult thing to realise! Thank god I have been saving up money for several years now. But yeah, more about that later, maybe when I'm in Tokyo. I'm already counting the days! ~♥

So it has already been a few days if not even weeks since I met up with an friend of mine whom I haven't seen for ages. She wrote me because she wanted to make some kind of gyaru-styling since she has gotten more and more interested in Gyaru fashion. Well nice! ♥
Because I'm not allowed to go to work like that and have been really really really lazy about styling I was really happy to get the opportunity to style myself with somebody else. She has by the way never worn bottom lashes before, so I was happy to glue her some on :D
I even took the time to make her curls, although she didn't allow me to tease her hair. But that wasn't even necessairy. She's got pretty thick hair and A LOT of it! OMFG! I thought I was gonna die while curling her hair hahahaha
What happened after I had finished her hair? Yeah? U guessed it already? I would have had to fix my hair as well, but yeah, surprise surprise, I was to lazy. So first time in my life I used one of my wigs! It even didn't look that bad with the cap on♥

this is what we looked like:

In the whole city of Basel there was "Herbstmesse". You can imagine it like a huuuuuge amusement parc spread over diffrent places in the city. So you can find there stuff like roller coasters, food and other amusement. It's in Basel every year for 2 whole weeks! To be honest it's not that much of my thing, but I really like to go eating there. Food is soooooo damn delicious! Especially all the sweets! Ugh ugh! Good opportunity for getting fat hahahaha
Here just a few pictures:

And the pic I like the most:

Her expression.. awesome isn't it? Haha :D Just love it!

Since I'm so busy with work, meeting my friends and preparing my stay in Japan, I haven't been doing anything to blog about lately. I hope that'll change as soon as I'm in Japan.
I even always miss out to take pictures of my make-up.. so here just one (bad) pic of my that days make-up. Really blurry and dark, sorry about that! Love the lenses btw ♥

So this is it for this entry. Sorry for not bringing any more interesting entries lately.
m(_ _)m

Halloween~♥

2011-11-08T19:16:00.004+01:00

Helloooo dear readers!

How have you been? Hope you all had fun celebrating Halloween! Here in Switzerland Halloween is still something new. So it's not like everybody would be celebrating it. It's even most likely the case that you're gonna get stared at if you're wearing a costume haha. Yepp, made that experience this year. Since it was my first year really dressing up, I tired to think of some nice costume. The problem, I didn't want to spend tooooo much money. I searched for something I could also wear for Colognes Carnival on 11.11. So I ended up buying a "Red Riding Hood" costume. Nice? No fail, haha :D the first comment I got to hear from my bro was: "wow! You going to some Porn-Party?"

yepp yepp. So this is how it looked like:

The good thing was, that I also had bought some bloody big knife and theaterblood. So I didn't want it to stay that way. Before the party I tried out making some fake wounds. It really wasn't as difficult as I had thought. I used some liquid latex, toilet paper (Yes, toiletpaper haha), make-up, fake blood and that's it!
the result left and right when I took it off (that really hurt! Imagine a GIANT patch!!)

Pretty bad looking isn't it? Was kinda fun to make it. Luckily my friend wanted to have one too on the day of the halloweenparty. I made her a big one on her neck! : D

My friend on the left with the wound on her neck. Sadly you can't really see it on that pic, but it really looked good! I had one on my right upper arm (see picture) and like in the above experiment on my left arm as well. Sadly I couldn't put any blood on my dress since I'm to use it again on 11.11. By the way, the guy in the middle is one of my good friends. I decided to be a werewolf. So I was just like: "aaaaha, a wolf.. then you ate my grandmother? Poor you, I got to kill you now since today I'm not the nice red riding hood but the bad version of it!"
Haha, that really was fun! Sadly he didn't really feel threatened because of me, how come? :D

So then here just two more pictures of us:
by the way, beware of the cookie in my friends hand haha : D

Sadly I somehow missed the picture taking part outside because I was busy with talking. gah! But happily I got to see the pictures. So from here on, enjoy the pics of some other costumes:

Hope you all had a fun halloween! Now we just got to wait until next years haha!
Dressing up was so much fun. The werewolf guy organised the party. It was first time that you HAD TO dress up. I was happy about that rule. Finally everybody would come dressed up! Yah!
So now just waaaaiting! ~♥

Meeting Conny♥

2011-10-20T18:54:00.002+02:00

Hello Dear Readers! ~♥

First of all thank you all for your interesting comments for my last entry! I was really happy to get that much feedback!

So now, some of you might have already seen some of the pics on Connys Blog Eternal Rock'n'Roll

I was super nervous before I met her, since the last times we met were more or less short. It was the first time that we met for a longer time. But anyway I was really looking forward to seeing her again! I had been working all day long so the traintrip (about 2,5 h) wasn't that long at all.
When I finally arrived we first of all went eating since I was super hungry ( I guess she was too ) and she showed me a really good restaurant in Mannheim. I ate something korean (first time!
YAY! :D) and some tempura~♥
I even took a picture, untypical me :P I use to forget it all the time

By the way, if you should have been wondering why I haven't got my blogs logo on the pics, yah, my computers graficcard is broken, d'oh

It was quite cold and we were so tired that we directly went back to the car after eating. I just shortly took the chance to take a picutre while walking by:

Honestly, I didn't know what to wear at all since I think of Conny as a super stylish woman with great fashiontaste I was worried to look like a gray mouse next to her haha Funnily we bouth thought the same thing of each other. I didn't really have time to pack the day before I left so I didn't have much to choose of D: But yah, we went shopping on Saturday, to Rheingalerie. I guess that's what it was called. We had a super funny evening on Friday. Laughed like hell haha
It's so funny with Conny, it's awesome!
Well ok, while shopping nothing really special happen, though we hat a lot of fun. We even took these silly pics at New Yorker:

I went there with two goals. Buying a Coat and a Poncho. I immediately fell in love with a coat from Mango. I didn't buy it right away since I wanted to see what they have in other stores. I also looooooooooove Connys shorts, why I bought them as well. That's when this picture was born. I wanted to see what the poncho would look like with those shorts haha, looks soooo silly, doesn't it? : D

I was surprised of myself that I even took the time to do some curls! WOW! Have been so god damn lazy the last weeks. Maybe it was because it is just more amusing if you're not making up alone but there's somebody doing it as well. It was real fun to be doing my make-up and hair while Conny did it herself next to me, hihi

But yah, here now the last pictures from shopping. I guess they talk for themselves and don't need further comment.

__

_

Besides Conny I also met her boyfriend Andre, super nice guy! They totaly are a perfect couple! So nice! Then also their cats, susi and jacky/jackie (which one? :D), as well as her dog, which actually was more a little pig than a dog (that's what Andre said hahaha).
Her a pircture of super-cutie Jacky(I'll leave it that way ). He jumped on my bed on saturdayevening, as I went sleeping earlier than Conny and Andre did.

And here then my last picture from the weekend just before I left. Natural make-up and stuff. I tried out Conny's triple barrel and honestly, I totaly LOVE it! I need one and buy one as soon as I can, hihi ok, maybe I'll wait 'til Japan

All in all it was a looooooooooooooovley weekend! I'm so god damn looking forward to spending some days in Tokyo with Conny in the end of December. Also I'm looking forward to seeing her in mid-December in Basel, wohooo! Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait!

Japans diet obsession

2011-10-12T08:30:00.010+02:00

Hello dear readers♥

This entry will be about a topic I have wanted to write about for ages. It kind of has been bugging me for a while. Ok not quite bugging, but it just has been a topic and everybody seemed to be talking about it. Some of them thinking it is beautiful and some thinking just the opposite. I’m not writing this entry to tell you what is right in my opinion and what’s not. I’m writing it to discuss. I want to know more opinions. Understand what other people think. That’s it! Besides that the topic is really precarious. I just want to tell, that I don’t want to offend anyone. It’s everyone’s right to tell if one likes it or not.

So as it is known to nearly all of you, Japan is one of the countries obsessed most with diets. In my opinion I’m not somebody ultrathin nor am I chubby in my country. My friends tend to get angry when I say that I want to lose some fat on certain parts of my body (hips, booty and so on) and then they start saying that I’d say that I’m fat and stuff. But I’m not saying that. However I can’t inform you about any certain diets since I have never gone through a diet. I have been tempted to do so while being in Japan. Often I feel kinda chubby when being there. But honestly speaking, how is it possible that European / Western people compare themselves to Asian ones? It’s a fact that Asian people usually tend to have a more slender “constitution type” than Westerns / Europeans do. So why compare ourselves to them? Really, it doesn’t make sense to me!

Dieting in Japan is a serious matter since it is seen as beautiful if a woman is really petite. Petite, pure skin, polite. Advertisement just everywhere. You can find fat burning underwear, diet pills, diet milkshakes, possibilities for aesthetic surgery and so on. 2 of my friends even tried out those diet pills which you can easily get in every kusuriya in Japan. There was a list of things when you SHOULDN’T take those thingies. That did really creep me out! However they tried them. I talked several times with them about it. One nearly couldn’t even swallow them because she somewhat had to chew them and they tasted so god damn awful! In the end did it work? It didn’t. Maybe because they stopped after a few weeks or it just doesn’t work, whatever the reason was. Maybe they work the way that they make you lose your appetite, haha :D I really can’t tell you. Besides that those pills are REALLY expensive! Certain kinds of them are even prohibited in Europe because they are too dangerous and there have been people dying in conclusion of swallowing those thingies. So they might be REALLY dangerous!

(yes I'm aware of her being chinese!) Left Geisha, right diet pills

Well, how about the models in the magazines? Do you think they’re beautiful? When I first took a look at a magazine back in 2006 I was shocked! REALLY shocked! I thought that at least 70% of the models have to be anorexic. So thin, that you can even see the bones. Over the years I got used to seeing them that way and there was some point when I thought that I just want to look the same. Thank god I’m just too food-loving and didn’t try to get so thin. I think it wouldn’t even be physically possible. There is just that certain difference in our constitution type that I will never even have the possibility to weight around 45kg. I would be near death if I was to weigh only that much. I’m also too tall for that, haha :D

So let’s take now a look at the magazines. Here some examples of the advertisements in the magazines:

For the pictures on the right, I think the middle one looks the best. But I'm just speaking for me.

There are models which I think are nice and that I like their appearance. I also was really delighted when I saw pictures of some models in bikinis which actually consisted of more than just skin and bones. So I now scanned those pictures and here they are:

Especially on the bottom picture the one on the left side. She looks so normal sized! Love it♥

For the opposite there are models of which I think are tooooo thin! One of them I have seen in person already 2 times. Do you already know whom I am talking about? Yes Yumachi! First time I saw her in atom when they had an event there for their single back in summer 2010. She stood in front of me on the stage and I was a little shocked how thin her legs were. There was nearly nothing you could have even touched. Then the d.i.a shorts which were actually LOOSE on her! The second time I saw her at Tsukicon in Helsinki in November 2010. I even got the chance to greet them directly. Some even got to hug them. I had the chance to get a picture taken where I hugged Aina. Lovely♥ But honestly, I was scared of breaking them! O_O;
Here now some pictures of her where I think she looks too thin:

The second model of which I think in the way of being too skinny is radiants Rikachu. I have ended up on her blog already several times. I have to admit, I’m not really a big fan of hers, but I think her way of being skinny isn’t beautiful anymore. It’s maybe just my opinion but that’s what I think. So here now some pictures of her taken from her blog:

In the end it’s one owns decision if one wants to think it is beautiful or not. I for my part think it’s too much. Everything led by the media.
What do you think? Is it right that we’re trying to be just as thin? Is there a point where it has to stop?
By the way, in earlier ages it was beautiful to be really chubby, since that meant that your husband had enough money to support you well, that one doesn’t have to starve! It’s really a difference compared to now days.

So what's your opinion when it comes to this topic? I'm really curious about it!♪

(Sorry that the pictures in here are so strange.. it somehow sucks at work when I try to put them in right D: I'll correct it as soon as I'm home today!)

Düsseldorf~♥

2011-09-27T18:30:00.008+02:00

Hello dear readers! ♥
How have you all been? It's been a while, hasn't it?
I've been kept busy the last few weeks. Trying to get things working with "university" in cologne, my birthday was up and last weekend I went to Düsseldorf to meet Shou-chan from ♥スイートミルクコヒー♥.blogspot.com!

I went there directly after work. It took about 5 hours by train, so I had time to end reading a book and everything. First I was a little be nervous about the meeting. Actually we had never met before, so we both didn't know if we would get along well. Even though I was in a positive moot 'cause we've always had good times writing to each other. Now in conclusion I can say, that I'm very happy that I met her! She's a lovely girl and has great sense of humour! I enjoyed meeting her and didn't want to leave on Sunday.. but sadly I had to because I had work on Monday again.. buhuu!

What made me kinda really happy was when she said that she thought I wasn't as tall as I always claimed to be. Haha, sounds strange I know, but that kinda made me really happy!

So on friday, because I arrived pretty late, we didn't do anything special besides cooking and talking. On saturday, before we left, I did her hair in a sujimori style. I had never tried it on anybody else than me. I didn't make it very voluminous beause she said that she didn't want it to be too big. So I tried my best with just hairspray and no hairwax.
This is how it turned out (front & back):

I was really happy she liked it!
There was even some woman on the train, who asked us how we did her hair, if it was some kind of a trick, haha :D She said that she thought that it was some kind of a hairband! Really funny! She complimented us for the hair, that it looked really good! I was somewhat proud to hear that haha :D

As soon as we got off the train we made our way to the street with the japanese shops to take some purikura. I was REALLY lazy on that day relating to my styling. I didn't do any kind of special styling. No hairdo, no gorgeous make-up, no special clothing. I just felt too lazy for it all. It takes such a big effort to do something good-looking with my thin hair, that I decided to just stay quite normal that day. Besides the fact that I'm now quite used to looking normal since my apprentice-time is over and I have to work 5 days a week. Side note, I work in a pretty conservative swiss bank and I'm not allowed to wear too strong make-up nor shorter clothing, sleeveless things and so on. That's one of the reasons I haven't been styling myself a lot lately. I think that will change as soon as I'm free to go whereever I want!
We strolled around the shop where the purikura thingy is. The goods in the shop are really overexpensive! So I ended up buying, NOTHING! :D
Here are 4 of the purikura we took there. I'm so normal looking, rightoo?

Afterwards we went to some store with japanese food to buy things we needed to cook japanese curry. I had told Theresa that I wanted to go to the Königsallee to the Tiffany & Co store because I have been searching for a necklace of 50cm/20inch length like an idiot. It should be identical to the one I already have (short one) so I can wear 2 necklaces at the same time without looking stupid. Because bouth pendants and the short necklace are from T&Co I wanted to go ask there for a 50cm long necklace. I wasn't able to find one in any jewelery store in Basel (identical one). The seller told me that they were sold out right now, tadaaaam! AGAIN!.. bah! Gotta order one in the T&Co store in Zurich I guess. If the necklaces just wouldn't cost already enough, urgh! D:
Well yeah, because I have been looking out for a wallet lately we went to take a look at the ones at LV and Gucci. I didn't want to buy one, because they're so expensive, but stupid me ended up buying one at Gucci's when I had a short BRAINTILT/Brain404/Brainerror!!
Anyhow, I love the wallet!
Here some pictures:

I also bought this cute little bowl x 2, which I already own in a more little size.

When we finally arrived at home we started cooking japanese curry. Because Theresa doesn't yet own a ricecooker and her cooking panels aren't really easy to regulate the heat one, we had to constantly stir it. But in the end (it took ages 'til food was ready) it was really yummy!

In Switzerland you can't find Dunkin' Donuts. So I was just like, OMG OMG OMG! let's get some donuts there! And because she loves donuts herself, what did we do? YES! We bought a 12-pack donuts! Gosh! Sooo many! Sadly they didn't have the standard-donuts with just sugar on them. Don't ask me why, but I just love them the most. So that was our dessert. Of course we weren't able to eat all 12 of them! Besides I didn't really like the pink ones. For my taste they tastes too "artificial". Not the strawberry/raspberry-taste I like. Just not natural enough. So Theresa ended up eating them. We ate the last donuts on sundaymorning haha

And this is kind of what we (seen on her example) were looking like after we had eaten:

Lying on the ground on her lovely fluffy carpet (I really loved it! So I was lying on the ground all the time haha) stuffed with japanese curry and donuts. Anyway we found some time, after some rest, to take pictures together. We just wanted to hold onto the sweet memories of the lovely hours we spent together.
Here then one silly and one "normal" looking picture:

On sunday we didn't really go anywhere. It was somewhat just spending time at home waiting for the time to come when I had to leave. It took us really long until we got our lazy asses up and went to some cafe. We had planned to meet with Than Thao, what I was looking forward to, but because there came something up, she couldn't make it. Sadly! I hope I will have the chance to meet her some other time.
However we went to a cafe called TENTEN. I bought a frozen milkchocolate or something like that. Don't remember the exact name what it was called. It was quite expensive for "just" smashed ice and chocolate milk, but it was really yummy! Liked it. So if you get the chance, go there to grab a drink. Hers was a Matcha, something with japanese greentea and stuff :D But I prefered mine ;)

The weekend all in all was really lovely and it was just sooo awesome to meet her! I hope I will be able to meet her again before I leave to Japan in December. I'll at least try to make it!

Next week on friday I will be going to Mannheim to meet up with Conny from ETERNAL ROCK'N'ROLL.blogspot.com
I'm really looking forward to meeting her again~♥

Streetsnaps egg aug/sept + soulsister vol. 2

2011-08-26T19:32:00.004+02:00

Hello dear readers! ~♥

Puhh, here's much going on lately. Even though I'm sitting all days long at work doing nothing really. At home, got enough to do. So somehow I feel like it's a waste going to work. But well, can't do anything about it right now. Everything will change on 23rd December because that's my last day at work! After that I will fly to Japan (thinking of 27th December as a flightdate) and stay there until June/July 2012. We will see. Moreover I'm thinking about what to do after I return from Japan, because honestly, I don't want to go back to working and neither I want to stay in Switzerland. So what I was thinking about, was wether I should go study in a college or something. My favoured place atm would be Cologne in Germany! So let's see what I can find out about permissions for studying there with my Swiss Diploma! I'll try hard to get there, so wish me luck that everything will work out!

So what's todays entry about? Yes, surely, I didn't want to start bubbling about all the things I'm worried about right now, that's why this is gonna be a streetsnap entry. It contains snaps from egg 2011 August und from egg 2011 September, as well as from Soul Sister Vol. 02. I'm late, I'm aware of that, but because there was so much to thing about lately I didn't feel like blogging. Sorry for that.

Let's start with the first snap out of two from egg 11/08

It's a really sexy styling with a western touch. Love the cowboy hat! I've fallen in love with mine again since I've seen so many streetsnaps where the girls wear them in great coordinates!
I also love the combination of blue and brown! Especially feathers seem to be very popular lately. Even here you can see feathers everywhere (H&M!!). Did you by the way notice hear wearing the bracelet again on her upper arm? Yes? Did you also notice, that it's the same person as in my last entry? Yukachan! I think she might be chartered for the streetsnaps in egg.

This coordinate gets from me:
7 stars out of 8!
★★★★★★★☆

Then here's the second streetsnap:

Not particularely something that I would wear, just because of the fact, that it wouldn't suit me at all. Anyway I still like her coordinate a lot. I think it suits her very well, that's why I chose her as my second favorite streetsnap from that egg issue. It's colourful and flashy! tutuHa!
The colors remind me of Sweden, hmm, strange as the flag has just the same colors haha :D
Her herstyling makes her look quite innocent in spite of her skirt being really short. Good mix I think!

This coordinate gets from me:
6 stars out of 8!
★★★★★★☆☆

Now, let's move over to the streetsnaps from egg 2011 september.

First of all I thought of it as hard to find there a streetsnap I really really liked! But well I finally chose her 1st. It's mostly because she's wearing a good combination with the belt I love a lot! Besides that I really like her hairstyling with the "hair-band". Seems to be quite "in" lately again. Usually I don't like shirts where you can see parts of your belly or hips, but I think it fits her very well anyway. By the way I love the back of the d.i.a top she's wearing!

This coordinate gets from me:
5 stars out of 8!
★★★★★☆☆☆

Second streetsnap is this one:

Looks really like countrystyle in my opinion. What's special about it are the disney prints on her jeans. Her haircolour fits her top very well. And all in all she looks really cute. And yepp I had an even harder time choosing a second picture from the streetsnaps!

This coordinate gets from me:
5 stars out of 8!
★★★★★☆☆☆

Now a magazine I bought for the first time. Soul Sister! I didn't know what to except so I just let it be a surprise! It endeed was. There were partly styles I really liked and some I didn't like at all. The magazine is particularely diffrent from egg and other magazines I have taken a look at this far. But what I really really love about this magazine is, that it has got a fairely big streetsnap section!
That's why it was somewhat difficult to choose because there were a few styles I really liked. But anyway, let's start with the first streetsnap I chose:

It's quite simple and held in dark colours. I'm a big fan of ripped jeans with lace at those parts. Really hot! The top is pretty plain, but the striped part makes it look interesting. In my opinion she looks despite of long jeans really sexy and mature!

This coordinate gets from me:
6 stars out of 8!
★★★★★★☆☆

Then here the second outfit I chose:

The jeans are so damn flashy and anyway so damn hot! I wouldn't like them on me, but I think they fit her perfectly. Then the quite simple black top in combination with the red lips and her lightly reddish hair. A real good combination! Not very exceptional styles but the colourcombination is great! Shortly said: I love it!

This coordinate gets from me:
8 stars out of 8!
★★★★★★★★

So this is it for today!
What do you think about the coordinates? Do you like them? How many points would you give them?
Happy to hear your opinion!♥

Finland & Meeting Gals

2011-08-05T21:29:00.005+02:00

Hello dear readers! ~♥

I hope you have been doing well!
My trip to Finland was soooo nice and just toooo short. I wish I could have stayed longer..

I went there on Friday directly from work, so I was about 1 am in bed in Helsinki! On the next day we directly left to get a rented car so we could go to Porlammi. That's a little village in the countrysides of Finland, somewhere near Lahti, Provoo and stuff. So it's really quiet there. Sleeping, hugging the cats (they've got four!) and just enjoy the good finnish food my aunt makes ~♥
So the days there were really quiet!

Two things that I reaaaally love about Finland are these:

Fresh berries, especially strawberries, in summer! They're soooo yummy! Just the best you can get on the whole world! One of the first things I bought before leaving to Porlammi. Ate quite a lot strawberries on our way there. The second thing is the nature. It's just so beautiful and EVERYWHERE!

This is one of my aunts cats. The male one. They kind of love sleeping in baskets haha
Just looked too funny!

My sweet cousine learnt a "song" for me on piano. One I really love! It's from a game, I think some of you might know it. It's still my favorite game of all times. It's from Zelda! The songs name is "Song of Storms".
This one:

She makes a small mistakes, but that's because she was so nervous when I was filming it. Just sooooo cute! I love her for the fact that she learnt it for me! Because I once told her, if she's able to play the song, then I will come and visit them, so I could listen to her playing it. And she really did learn it! Just tooooo cute!

I stayed in Porlammi until Wednesday, then I left for Riihimäki and on Thursday to Helsinki where I went shopping with my 3 youngest cousines. We just went a little from store to store. Didn't endure it long because it was soooo damn hot! So before we left we went to H&M and took on the BAD TASTE GAME!
My cousines just looooved it! It was just so funny.. And if you take a good look on the picture you can see a woman in the back. She seemed quite amused herself.

What's the game about? You stand in a circle and for the person on your right you choose all tops, hat, necklace and bag. For the person on your left, everyhing that's further down (pants, skirt, etc). But the thing is, that you have to choose the ugliest things you can find! Then you exchange everything and put it on. Voilà!
Really funny!

On Saturday Sini came to Helsinki and she slept together with me at my cousines apartment (She wasn't at home and left me her keys). We were too tired (especially I was) and lazy to go anywhere. So we just spent the evening at home. On Sunday we met other gals. I was reaaally happy to go and meet them. I didn't know a single one of them. Really nice and cute girls!

This is my styling from sunday:

Top: d.i.a
Hotpants: Tally Weijl
Belt: d.i.a
Shoes: (you can't see them D:) Tally Weijl
Earrings: Liz Lisa
Bracelets: H&M and one from Rome
Watch: Guess

And here are the cute girls I met! Unfortunately I don't remember their names (except for Sini haha : D) I'm so bad at remembering names! Sorry!

First we went to Kamppis top, so I could eat something. I was daaaaamn hungry! We got to talk about a store, no one uf us has been to. We knew it was something like warehouse and some outlet. We googled it but didn't really find something. So Sini called a infonumber. After that she went to some store to ask. It was in Ruoholahti. Ok, we knew we hat to get there. So we went there. In google it had showed us some adress. and that's when we were searching for that street like idiots, when we noticed, that it wasn't even near Ruoholahti, haha! So we just thought that we'd go to the Shoppingcenter near the subwaystation.

and what did we find there? Tadadadaaaa! There it was! Warehouse! haha

After that my feed hurt like hell! I had "new" shoes on (bought them 1 year ago but never wore them haha). We went back to Kamppi and then to Forum and to the Mc Donalds there. So what then? Yes, picturetiiiime in Mc and in Kamppi

Sini and I bought the same bracelets from H&M, or well, actually she gave it to me as a present. Soooo cute! I love it! It just fit my outfit perfectly~

After camwhoring I rushed to my uncles places quite in a hurry, because it was my last chance to see my cousins and cousines for a while. I really didn't want to miss them! My cousins and cousines are just so much fun and all of them are just as stupid as I am :D
I think you can clearly see on the picture that we are relatives, don't you? Both with a rly stupid expression haha

Here's by the way a top I got from Sini. Thanks again a loooot honey! I love it! it's just soo.. soooo, awww!
I took the picture so I could show her how it looks like. That's why it is a bad mirrorpicture. Besides that I wasn't wearing my extensions anymore and no lenses as well.

So this is it..
Sorry for the long entry.

Soon in near future I will be doing a give-away. My first one! I hope there will be plenty of people joining it! ~♥

Purchases & Shopping Service

2011-07-21T18:52:00.009+02:00

Hello dear readers!

I'm not writing that many entries at the moment because I'm really busy.. I kind of don't get to do anything I want to at the moment! But I think it will get better after my holidays. Tomorrow I'm leaving for Finland. I will stay there until 1st August. After that I think I will have a little bit more time left to write some entries.

So here's just a short update on my newest purchases. Besides that I want to introduce you the Shopping Service I use.

This is what I bought:

Like some of you might know, I have been a big d.i.a fan for about 4 years now! I'm really looking forward to the time when I'm in Japan and can just walk in the store myself and buy anything I want

This is what was inside those bags:

I reaaaaally love the belt! It's just sooo lovely! Really great! The brown/beige top (the one on the top right) unfortunately is a little shooort.. but maybe I'll find a way to wear it anyway.

Here's what I got from Cecil McBee

I took 2 pictures of me wearing some of the clothes, but well better pictures of final coordinates will maybe follow later on.

Now I think you all might be curious about the shopping service I use. I have been buying through it for about 1 1/2 - 2 years. I can guarantee you that I have always been satisfied. I wouldn't recommend the service if I wasn't satisfied with it.

Kaimonodaikou!
Who's Kaimonodaikou? The one who's running it is Michiyo Takiguchi, a really gentle and friendly person. If you have any questions she's always there to answer them. She answers fast and does her best to get the items you want.

Where in Japan is the Shoppingservice located? She lives in Tokyo, so the items will be send from there.

What are the prices? Additionaly to the itemprice and the shipping to her place, she will add a handling charge, which is in my opinion in a good range, so it's not too high I think.

Here the first part of her pricelist:

Total Price	Handling Charge
~ 1,500 yen (~ 17US$)	750 yen (9US$)
1,501 ~ 2,500 yen (18 ~ 26US$)	1,000 yen (11USD)
2,501 ~ 5,000 yen (27 ~ 54US$)	1,500 yen (17US$)
5,001 ~ 10,000 yen (55 ~ 108US$)	2,000 yen (22USD)
10,001 ~ 15,000 yen (109 ~ 162US$)	2,500 yen (27US$)
15,001 ~ 20,000 yen (163 ~ 216US$)	3,000 yen (32US$)
20,001 ~ 25,000 yen (217 ~ 269US$)	3,500 yen (37US$)

What payment methods does she accept? She accepts paypal only, so be sure that you've got it.

Why do you recommend her shopping service? Well, I have been comparing shopping service prices a lot and I think her prices are totaly fine. Besides that she's really friendly and always available for questions. She has always been giving me information on the shipping costs from Japan to my place as well. Further on she does bidding on items on auction websites like mbok.jp. Choosing a shopping service is like gambling, either you get a good one or not. This one is good for sure. I'm certain that she won't disappoint you♥

If you have any further questions don't hesitate to ask me about my experience or anything else. I will try to help you. For further information about the Shopping Service click on the link below. You will find there everything you need.

Gyaru Models without make-up

2011-07-10T17:27:00.011+02:00

Hello dear readers! ♥

I'm finally updating my blog. Here an entry I have been wanting to write already for ages!
I for my part have always been curious to see what all the gyaru models look like without make up. Just because I feel uneasy myself when being without make up, so it kind of makes me feel better when I see that they look quit normal as well when being all natural. Besides of that I think that many of the gyaru do look a lot diffrent without make up than with it! Sometimes I think that I wouldn't be able to recognise them. Talking about that, in one egg there was a comic panel just about that topic:

First the guys are talking about how cute is girlfriend is and all and after love hotel, when she took a shower, he didn't even recognise her! He's just like: "uh uh.. dare?" "uh uh.. who are you?"
I had to laugh when I saw that, because it's just how I sometimes feel when talking about that topic.

But now back to the models. I'm sure you all are curious what pictures I'm going to show you.
So here some pictures I found in magazines, blogs, etc:

How about we start with Aina Tanaka? I think you all know what she's looking like with her make-up and hair all perfectly done. But anyway, left side a picture of her the way we know her and right side, no make-up! (the one in the middle)

here two more pictures:

She looks pretty diffrent doesn't she? I'm not saying she looks bad without make-up, I'm just saying that she looks diffrent. Really diffrent I think.

So that you all have seen now Aina, how about going on with Yumachi?
Here she is, left usual, right without make-up

Here one from her blog, but I believe that she has used concealer on her face on that picture. Just no eye make-up

Now that we have seen 2 egg models, how about seeing some models from Ranzuki too? One of the most popular models has been Nicole / Nikoru already for a while. That's why I'm going to start with her.
Left one of her most beautiful covershots and right side without make-up taken from her blog.

For the next candidate I'm not sure if she is still modeling for ranzuki (haven't taken a look in it for ages now), but anyway, here's Yuminyan left with make-up and right side without make-up.

For the those of you who like reading popteen 2 no-make-up-pictures of Jun Komori! I found two pictures of her on her blog. Left with make-up and right side without.

Then there is one model I still do like a lot. Remi! I think many of you know Remi from egg.
Once again, left side with make-up and right side without.

What I think that you can see really good on her pictures are the birthmarks you can't see when she's wearing make-up. It's the same with Romihi! I don't know if they just use really strong concealer or if it is just photoshop-work that has been done for the magazines. Either way, they're gone!

For the end here 2 pictures of a newer model from egg. It's Keehaako! The Manbamodel from egg!
Left again with make-up and right without.

For those of you who might now be wondering if she's ill, she's not! That's what gyaru often do if they are leaving the house without make-up and don't want to be seen this way. Often they even wear biiiig sunglasses. I have seen a few like that myself the time being in Japan. It's really strange, but an easy way if you really don't feel like puting any make-up on! Woooosh! Mask! and everything's fine! 笑笑

So how about you dear readers? Do you leave your house without make-up? Or do you feel rather embarassed? How about the models? Normal looking or just shooooock?

Picspam & Blog Awards

2011-06-29T22:51:00.005+02:00

Hello dear Readers! ♥

Finally all my exams are over and I have my results and diplomas! So now I'm officially a Banker! So happy I made it with good marks. Now I have the basics to go on. So what's up next? I will work in my Bank until the end of this year and then move on to my long bewaited plans! Yes! Finally, I will go to Japan for longer! I have started to contact some schools already, so we'll see which I'll choose. I have to translate all my documents (the Diplomas I just got) and everything. After that I will check what possibilities I have with apartments. I really want to have my own apartment there, for that I will have my private space with kitchen and toilet. Nothing to share with others. Besides, it will be easier for friends to visit me.
Now I'm thinking of applying for a 1 year visa but for school 1/2 year. Don't know yet if I'm going to stay in Japan for 1/2 or 1 year. I'll see about that when I'm already in Japan. And well I don't even know if there are apartments for only 1/2 year agreements. Have to get informed about that. What's an other point I (especially my parents) have been worrying about is radiation. I have been told that there is none, but how sure can one be? I honestly don't know..

But to talk about something else in this entry, I was studying for the exams with a friend from school. A really smart girl, whose's grown to be a really important person to me. About studying, well, that was one thing. I think I should have, in first place, learnt studying haha
Anyway, here are the pictures of us "STUDYING"!

Yes, we were studying very intensively! :D

Of course I wanted to reward myself after getting through all the exams. In the beginning of my studies in the bank I promised myself to buy a Louis Vuitton bag, if I were to come through. Especially because I didn't like the studies that much back then. Honestly, I still don't like economics (and so on) that much, but it's not as worse as it used to be when I started. I've gotten pretty much used to it.
Because I was in Rome last weekend (I'll post some pictures later), I bought the bigger bag there and the smaller here in Switzerland when I got my diplomas on tuesday. Usually I don't spent that much money, because I'm really saving up money a lot for my time in Japan, but I wanted to keep the promised I made myself back then.

Besides that I bought a few other things in Rome. I haven't tried them out yet. Powder from Dior (Can't find the one from Chanel I use here in Europe, which makes me REALLY sad!), Rouge frome Chanel and Lipstick from Yves Saint Laurent.

My mother, who travelled with, told my, that I could choose anything I wanted as a present for my passed exams in a certain price range. I tried not to choose anything in gold, because Tiffany's Goldsection is really expensive, so I chose only that one little charm and a silver necklace. Back in New York I fell in love with Tiffany's & Co. The jewelery is just toooo lovely that I could have resisted buying something from there. Besides my mum wanted me to buy jewelery because it's something lasting! That's true. I will always remember what reason for I recieved them♥

Besides those things, in May I had the honour to meet some Swiss Gyaru from the French speaking part of Switzerland! I was so happy to meet them because I have been wanting to meet them already for a loooong time. These girls are so nice and I hope I'll get the chance soon again to meet them. Hopefully still in summer.

_____________________________________________

There is a blog award circle again. Because I wasn't active here a few days (Rome, Diploma etc) I didn't have the time to blog here about it. I don't know why I got the honour, but I got nominated by 3 lovely bloggers! Rii, Conny and Charlotte! I really don't know what to say! I'm just so happy that my blog is being liked! Thank you very very very much!! ♥

So here are the rules:

1. Say something about the person who gives you the award.

Streetsnaps egg

2011-06-20T18:24:00.009+02:00

Hello dear readers!♥

What do you think about streetsnaps? There are 3-4 pages in every magazine, not only egg, but other magazines as well. Honestly, I for my part think that the streetsnaps are the most interesting part in a magazine. Just for the reason, that it's what the girls out on the streets really wear. Surely, there are always some model pictures in that section too, but still I really love it. It's not some coordinates that some people from the magazines have chosen the models to take pictures with. That's why I have always used to choose my favorite streetsnap in every issue I get in my hands. So for that reason I'm posting now my favorite streetsnaps from egg 11 / 05, egg 11 / 06 and egg 11 /06.

Here's the first one from egg 11 / 05:
I just really love sexy styling. A ripped jeansskirt combined with overkneeboots and a golds-infinity like top. Really hot!

This coordinate gets from me:
5 stars out of 8!
★★★★★☆☆☆

Next one is my favorite streetsnap from egg 11 / 06.
It's more of a légère type of coordinate, like we would call it here. It somehow remembers me of a country/cowboy style, although it's not quite it. The poncho is a really fashionable item at the moment. I have been thinking of buying one myself. You can find a similar one on yumetenbou, as well as a similar top from nafnaf. I ought to buy both myself in the next days. If you want to have the links to the "similar" items, just leave me a comment.

So this coordinate gets from me:
7 stars out of 8!
★★★★★★★☆

Well then let's come to my favorite streetsnap from egg 11 / 07.
It's a little bit similar to the one from june issue above. The top seems partly alike, but it's more "knit-like". It's a top I have been carving for to get for already a few months. But still haven't bought one yet. I guess I should. Further on I'm a total fan of d.i.a belts and she's wearing one I could die for. Ripped jeans seem to be still very trendy. I really love the idea of putting the bracelets on your upper arm. I gotta try that too.

This coordinate gets from me:
7 stars out of 8!
★★★★★★★☆

So these are my late favorite streetsnaps. Hope I will be able to post some more with the next issue. What's your opinion about the streetsnaps? Do you like them or not?

Models changing

2011-06-17T19:34:00.013+02:00

Hello dear readers!

Now I'm finally writing something again! Some of you might have already noticed that I changed some things on my blog. Especially the layout. I added some panels underneath the header too, but they still have to be edited more. The texts in there are just quick ones, so don't wonder. Anyways I hope you all like the new layout! It took me several hours (I guess about 7 hours?!) to make it look that way. Further on I added Disqus so I could easier answer to comments. I have always had problems answering comments, so I hope it will get better now.

So what's up now?
I have to edit all my labels, it's quite a mess and a lot of work to edit the labels of all the old entries. Then for those of you who have been wondering about me putting together the two blogs, I have decided to NOT take over my old entries from my personal blog. I will keep and treasure them there. So my personal entries might start from here. Further on I'm going to edit the Shoplist in the next weeks. I will delete the ones that don't work anymore and add some more I have gotten to know in the past few months. For those who have problems ordering, I will recommend 1-2 Shoppingservices I have been using and which I am satisfied with. So that's what is going to happen in the next few weeks.

I hope you people keep on supporting me even though I have decided to put together both of my blogs! ♥

___________________________________________________________________

Now to the entry I wanted to write here.

I guess many of the ones that read modelblogs or magazines have noticed the change of fashiontaste of some models. I especially noticed it for one model, Aina Tanaka. Just for the reason that she has been one of my favorite models for years now.
Her looks used to be like this:

That's the kind of style I have started to love on her and still do love. But as people change with time, the fashiontaste changes as well. It's just a matter of time that someone starts liking something else. It's just something normal. It's not just Aina Tanaka but other models as well. As an instance, Romihi!

That's how we have been knowing and loving her. Not only that the fashiontaste of those two has been changing, they have even slowly started to disappear from egg. Romihi has already completely disappeared as she is now modeling for a magazine called GLIA. Many of you might have heard of the magazine or even bought it. I bought it myself too and honestly, when I first took a look at it, I nearly didn't recognize Romihi. She looks so diffrent!

Who would have thought that Romihis style would change so much that I first wasn't able to recognize her. The first picture I noticed it being her was this one:

As for Aina, she hasn't completely disappeared from egg yet, but she isn't featured in it that much anymore. It kind of makes me sad. Instead she has been appearing in GLIA too. Hope she will be featured there a little bit more.
I remember when I got to know Aina she used to wear colorful clothes and later on liked d.i.a just as I did. When Aina and Yumachi visited Tsukicon in Helsinki in November 2010, somebody asked them which were their favorite brands. Aina answered "Egoist". It's more of a modest style then d.i.a is and a lot more suitable for everyday life in Europe. I don't want to say that I don't like the brand because I partly really do!

So now might be the right part to attach the pictures of Aina I gathered in my magazines and even from her blog:

First I was a little bit disappointed of her style changing that much, but now I have kind of gotten used to it and start liking it. It's still really pretty and suits her very well. Not only Aina, but Romihi as well. I never used to like Romihi very much, but if she goes on keeping the style she has now in GLIA, I might end up really liking her looks. That said I really loved one hairstyle of hers in the magazine. It's just so beautiful that it directly hit me. It's this one I'm talking about:

So now dear readers. What is your opinion about their style-change? Do you like it? Or would you wish their old styles back?

Last but not least I want to say that I'm really unsure about my writingstyle and it might be a little messy at least now, but I'm trying to find a way of writing that suits me and that others like to read. So if you feel uneasy about something, don't hesitate to tell me. I would be thankful! ♥

Gyaru-Raba & Kanakoageha

2011-03-28T19:15:00.004+02:00

Hello dear readers!

I wanted to keep you informed, that I am going to put this blog together with my other blog. Gyaru-Raba will keep existing, so please be patient.

From the day on that they are together here won't be only scans and other news of gyarufashion, but also personal matters, so it will be mixed.
I hope you still will keep my side and follow me

I'm working on a new layout to change everything, but it still needs some more time. (I'm quite busy atm)

Thank you really much for your patience and all! I appreciate it~♥

Autumn & Winter 2010/2011, egg 12 / 2010

2010-11-22T21:47:00.009+01:00

Hello dear readers

It has been some time since my last entry again.
Have been quite busy with school/work, traveling etc. But well, now I found time to scan some pages from the egg 12 / 2010.

As you all may have noticed the fur and animal pattern thing is really modern this autumn / winter too. So compared to last years, nothing that special, maybe a little bit more of fur and the fox tail.
The "sleeve" like furparts for the legs, seem quite nice and warm to me, but I would say that they can be looking strange really fast. Some call them ブーツカバーファー (Buutsukabaafaa, bootscoverfur).
But well, taste differs, doesn't it?

So here now a few pictures I chose from the egg 12 2010, which I think, show the trends very well.

A scarf with zebrapattern, combined
with a grey sweater & boots and hotpants.
Then the super cute foxtail. Very good
combination and really fashionable!

How about Yumachi?
She's always very fashionable.
Once again you surely notice the foxtail she
has added to her outfit. Completive to the black
jacket the black ブーツカバーファー.
Love the combination of her coordinate.

And once again the
ブーツカバーファー. Just this
time white ones. Combined with a
light green dress and a very cute
leopard pattern fur hat.

She has a quite simple coordinate.
No fur, but instead a skirt with
leopard pattern. No new thing,
but still very stylish. I think
especially the overknee boots
make her outfit look great! Have
been wanting to buy some for about
1,5 years now.

So how about continuing with
more simple outfits? Yes? Well,
here's one I personally like very much
Love the top she's wearing with just
the partly leopard pattern. I think
that makes it looks special. Then
again the fox tail to freshen the
coordinate a little bit.

Similar to the first coordinate
I posted. In grey colors. The ear
muffs are really cute and suit
her very well. I especially like
her shoes!
They are just awesome, don't
you think?

Here then 3 pages which were filled with furtrends. There are some I want myself, but still partly haven't managed to get them. Hope I will some day! ♥

Some of you might now be thinking about how to get some of the clothing. Well, not problem! There are always onlineshops offering the latest trends, even from Japan. Because I really had some time left this time and I wanted to write a little longer entry I even searched for some japanese onlineshops or brands which feature fur items. To get on the onlineshop page (of the certain item), just click on the picture. It will lead you directly to the page.

Please give me feedback if you like this kind of entries or rather not. I still have to learn a lot about writing a blog, but I'm trying my best! ♥

In the shoutbox (it has some error atm.. can't look up who it was) somebody wrote me, that maybe I should just put everything on the blog I update more often. That would be kanakoageha.blogspot.com. But somehow I would be sad to put everything on that blog, because I have been running this blog for longer, but other way round I would be sad to put everything here, just because I really have been writing more in the other blog. So you see what's my dilemma?
Your opinion (refered to the poll) looks clear to me.
Thank you all for helping me! I really appreciate it! ~♥

Ah and by the way, IMPORTANT! FUR IS A SENSITIVE TOPIC
I know fur isn't everybody's thing and I know that there are people who adjudge others because of it. I'm not against it nor am I on the side of the people who use fur. I think it depends on the conditions under which the fur has been produced. So please DON'T adjudge me for it. I just wanted to write about the actual trends. alright? Thank you ♥

Uno Kanda's wedding dresses featuring Tsubasa Masuwaka

2010-11-04T23:13:00.005+01:00

First of all I'm terrbily sorry! I know that there has been a bad lack of updates and I'm really sorry.
That's why I'm asking you all to PLEASE make the poll on the right side.. it would really help me!
I have been thinking about it for quite a long time now and I just noticed that it doesn't make any sense to have two blogs if I'm only updating one regularly and if I happen to write here an entry I put it somehow on my other blog as well. I don't know but it seems a little bit unnecessairy. So please make the poll and help me!

So now what I wanted to write about:

I recently saw an article about Uno Kanda (just a short one) and there was mentioned that she has made her own wedding dress collection. Not that special you would think if there wasn't a big BUT! She hired a gyarumodel for the collection pictures and that was no one else than Tsubasa Masuwaka.
Here's some general information about Uno Kanda:

Name: Uno Kanda
Born: 28. March 1975 in Kanagawa
Career: She started as a model in her Highschool years and later on she has appeared in TV as well. She is trying to debut as a fashiondesigner in Paris.
Height: 168cm
Bloodtype: O

The bridal dress collections name is "Uno et l'etoile". Translated into English that means "Uno and the star".
I for my part think that the collection is really cute, but maybe a little bit too extravagant for real bridal wear. In fact it is really beautiful to look at and I love the catalog pictures.

So to not let you wait any longer here are 5 Pictures of the collection:

If you want to see more collection pictures click HERE (it's the official page of the collection. You can even find there a Shoplist in Japan where you can get her dresses or read an interview. Unfortunately everything is in Japanese.)
If you want to know more about Uno Kanda click HERE or HERE

So what do you think about the collection?
Do you like it?
Would you wear something like that on your happiest day of your life or lets just say when you're marrying?

egg's Beauty from August issue 2010

2010-08-03T12:43:00.007+02:00

I am soooooooooooo damn sorry girls that I haven't been writing any entries in such a long time! Really sorry!!

As an apology I scanned you the whole egg's Beauty from the egg issue 08 10. It's not for sale and only purchasable with the egg from august 2010.

Here some preview pages:

To download it click HERE (megaupload) or HERE (sendspace)

I added the followergadget on the side, so it will be easier to follow the blog from now on. Sorry I hadn't put it in there earlier!
And also I am thinking of putting my private blog and this one togheter. I think it would be updated more recently. So I wouldn't stop, but just put them to together.
I will make a poll later on.

Then somebody wished for 2 scans from egg's beauty spring 2010.
Here are the two pages:

Spring / Summer Trends 2010

2010-05-28T19:59:00.006+02:00

Sorry for not posting in a while. Have been so damn busy..

In the summe issues of all the magazines there are a few trends you can see from nearly ALL the brands! Kinda crazy
So I stopped by to make an entry about especially 4 gyaru summertrends 2010!

So what's hot?

♥ JEANS
Everything in jeans, jackets, pants, skirts, blouses, just everything!
Partly in the direction of country
Extremely trendy are those a little bit fluffier skirts, just like on the second picture the one on the right.

♥SCARF RIBBON
Then still one trend the most of you might already be knowing.
The ribbon made out of a scarf!
Really hot! I have tried it out myself, it's not that difficult to make♥

♥STRAW HAT
These hats, more like in the country direction, are really fashionable and hot this summer!
You can see them everywhere, nearly on everypage in the magazines
I'm gonna buy one myself this summer, so hot hot hot♥

♥USAMIMI
Something a little bit more special. This summers trend: Usamimi!
It looks like something like a scarf but in truth there's a wire inside to make it hold like that.
Usamimi should look like bunnyears, and that's why they're called Usamimi.
うさぎ"usagi" means in japanese bunny and 耳(みみ)"mimi" means ears, so it's nothing else than bunnyears!
Where to buy Usamimi?
LizLisa has got really cute ones, so check out the onlineshop HERE

So which trend is your favorite?♥

I'm really sorry I haven't made the promdress entry some people have been wishing for. It's kinda difficult 'cause I'm not that sure if agejo clothing really fits to that topic.

egg beauty spring 2010

2010-04-15T22:45:00.010+02:00

It has been a while since I bought the egg beauty spring 2010. I'm sorry that it took me this long to scan pages etc.
I scanned many, so hope it's okay if it's a little bit late and I hope you enjoy it anyway! ♥

So here now a picture overflow of 30 in the whole!
I wont write that much now, because the pictures will talk for themself.

Let's start with the cover:

How about going on with some make-up tutorials?
I chose my favorite ones, so hope you like them too♥

Because I have been posting so many make-up tutorials lately, I now focused on hair.
That's why now will follow some pages only about hairstyles and right after that hairstyle tutorials.

There were four pages with Yunkoro, which show pretty precisely how she's doing her make-up.
Shading, blush, eyes and lips.
So here we go with the four last pages for this entry:

This time it's taking again longer with the egg may 2010.
Still haven't recieved it yet.. .. slow!

Question♥ & Answer♥

2010-04-12T18:43:00.008+02:00

There have gathered some questions from you ladies, which I'm going to answer now in a more clearly structurated post.
So enjoy! ♥

Q♥
Can you make a post about japanese clothing sizes? It'll be really helpfull because i'm gonna order clothes from Cocolulu, and my mother said that japan got different size chart. Thank u

A♥
Difficult to answer, because I don’t really know it myself. I just know, that the sizes are mostly smaller yes.
I can’t really tell you what a certain size, like M will be in Japan.
In google you can find some diffrent sizecharts. They differ from page to page
So here one from cutiecode.com

Q♥
where can I find photos of Romihi's new pink hair

A♥
a.In the egg magazine of april were some pics as well as in the egg beauty spring 2010
b. on her blog CLICK ME
c. on google

Q♥
HEEY! Can you send me Tsubasa's blog link? I want to go look xD thanks

A♥
http://www.style-walker.com/sw/s/room/blog?uid=tsubasa
but you will have to registrate on style-walker to be able to view her blog.

Q♥
Hello, could you give me a trustworthy japan shopping service website? Maybe a site that you've used before. Thank you

A♥
I myself used one for Switzerland, so it wouldn’t me much of help to you.
A friend of mine used an other one, should be good I think.
It was:
http://kaimonodaikou.ninja-x.jp/how2buy.html
anyhow it’s pretty expensive and I can’t tell you how trustworthy they really are. Sorry

Q♥
Hello~ I really want to go gyaru with my bestfriend but we're not really sure where to start. She's also scared because she feels like her skin color is going to be a problem [she's black]. Help please?

A♥
I would help you if I could, but I’m not the one who defines what’s gyaru and what’s not. You have to define that yourself I guess.
The easiest way to beginn is that you take a look at the newest magazines (egg, ageha, ranzuki, popteen, jelly etc) and try to take over their style. As time keeps running by and you gather more expierience you will be able to make it your own style.
That’s at least the way I think about it. I don’t think I can tell you more than just my opinion.
Btw, I don’t see a problem in the skincolor

Q♥
hi do u know some online stores that ship in philippines? thanks

A♥
The same as mentioned above.
I think they ship everywhere on the world. Just try to contact her and ask♥
http://kaimonodaikou.ninja-x.jp/how2buy.html

I hope it helped somebody at least!♥

Skirt Check ageha 04 2010

2010-03-24T20:58:00.006+01:00

I bought ageha 04 10 already in the middle of the month, but somehow didn't scan anything and now it's already kinda "old"?
Anyway I now scanned some things.

I thought, well spring is coming, why not something about skirts?
That's what I did!

So here are some skirts/short dresses for spring from ageha april 2010!
I categorised them like follows:

♥Skirts with laces or similar

♥Skirts with floral "design"

♥Skirts which are more simple

So here are the skirts/short dresses I picked out!

(CLICK ON THE PICTURE TO SEE A BIGGER VERSION!)

Which one do you like best?

I noticed that there are nearly NO long skirts at all! I saw ONE long skirt in the whole magazine!

Wig Mania ♥

2010-03-17T20:43:00.002+01:00

So as promised here already my new post!

it's about WIIIIIGS!
Many gals are wearing them nowdays. Full wigs, half wigs or just partly, maybe extensions!

You can just see them everywhere!

Haven't you been wondering how in the world some of the gals can have sooo quickly such beautiful hairstyles? Always looking perfect?
Well this is the answer!

So here some pictures I found in the newest egg of gal models with wigs!

How about Romihi wearing a wig?
Which style do you prefer?

I for my part like Romihi with long hair, so I like this wig the most! ♥

How about some hairribbons?
You like them?
Looks pretty cute don't you think so?

Or braided hairparts?

Here a little "before" and "after"!

Wigs are soooo practical! You can change your look without having to dye or cut your hair!
And what I think is one great aspect is, that it doesn't even take you long!
You want curls? 30 minutes or even 2 hours, that's what it normally takes to make curls! With a wig you are so much faster! Takes you in maximum maybe 10 minutes !

These wigs here are from one of the most known wig-sellers in Japan, Prisila!
They have really great looking wigs! Just gorgeous!

Then there's some other brand, called malibu!
Popteen model Yui Kanno is advertising/modeling for it.

I guess many of you have already seen the video on youtube.
Anyway HERE is the link again.

Here some amazing screenshots of girls WITH wig and without the wig!
It's pretty surprising don't you think so?

So now, where to get japanese wigs in the internet?
Some of you might now want to know that.

I searched for some pages and really found some!

To get to the official site of Prisila click on the picture underneath!

Then there are a few shops on rakuten. (JUST CLICK ON THE STORE ICON TO GET TO THE PAGE!)

Here's the one I think is the best there:

Wigland! They have got many wigs from prisila, but also others!
I will be ordering there some time for SURE!
I haven't yet, so I can't tell you anything about it.

Here are 2 other shops I found. Don't really know anything of these either.

Wigland.biz, they have got wigs from malibu and prisila!

ii-shop.com I think they have got some really great wigs! Especially for men.

Else I only found some cosplaywig pages which were looking good, but they don't really fit here.

So for the end of this entry some pics from the wigpages(the shops)

And here two "how to"

egg april 2010

2010-03-15T19:25:00.007+01:00

Sorry peops, that it took me this long to post. Didn't come to scan some pages before I left for my little vacation.
But better a little late than never right?

So here some pages of the new egg 04 2010 ♥

The cover is great! Just like spring in pink and with a gorgeous looking Kanako on it!

Yunkoro is looking strangely pale on this one! ugh!

Have you already seen the new shoedesign? Seems to be pretty trendy right now!
I made a white circle around the shoes.

I have seen such ones being sold by Golds Infinity but sadly they are already sold out in the onlineshop.
The ones on the pic Romihi is wearing are from Esperanza for 9345 Yen!

The ones Remi is wearing aren't quite the same, but similar!
And what I like about them, they're PINK!

So for the end here 3 streetsnaps I especially liked.
The one on the left is reeeeally cuuute, isn't she? ♥

Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow I will be posting some pages about wigs! Hope you'll be reading ♥

Request: Egg Eye-tutorials

2010-02-19T21:05:00.004+01:00

I scanned the 4 last pages of the eye make-up tutorials from egg february 2010. Meiko asked me if I could do it.
Pretty helpful I think!

So hope you all like it too♥

Egg March 2010

2010-02-17T19:12:00.004+01:00

Finally I had some time yesterday to scan some pages of the new egg 03 10 . I think it's a good issue and worth the money!

Love the eyetutorials this time too♥
Hope you like them too!
So let's start with the cover and the pages with the eye-tutorials

There were 2 pages full of gals with leopard jackets! Awww~
I'm in love with such jackets♥

There were some pages about Junkoro too, just like about Aina Tanaka in the last egg issue of february.
I just scanned the first page because the pictures were sooo cute♥

And for the end, my 2 favorite Models Aina and Yumachi with some hairstyles.

Sakurina meets♥ Yumetenbo

2010-02-16T11:42:00.008+01:00

Sakurina started modeling for Yumetenbo (dreamv shop). I think she fits there reaaaally good! The clothing is from hime-like to cool and glamorous.
She's modeling more for the cute and hime-like clothing. But very good! I at least like it♥
Have already often ordered from dreamv on rakuten with mostly good experience (2 times not very good!)

HERE is the normal onlineshop and HERE is the one on rakuten.

Enjoy♥

Naoki and Tsubasa

2010-02-11T09:56:00.002+01:00

For the Disney film "The Princess and the Frog" Naoki Umeda and Tsubasa Masuwaka attended a press conference. They came dressed up as the main characters of the movie. Cute aren't they? ♥

Well soon I will be posting some new pictures of egg 03-10. As soon as I get to do it♥

Tsubasa Masuwaka Valentine Award

2010-02-04T11:37:00.008+01:00

Tsubasa Masuwaka and actor Keiko Kitagawa (you might know her from Buzzer Beat) recieved the "Valentine Queen Award" 2010. They recieved the awards (awww the awards are sooo cute♥) and Deco Pocky!

Here some pics of the 2♥

So Decopocky. I guess a few of you have already heard about it. It's a veeeeery cute idea! I really love it. Wanna try it out ones too ♥

Here a few pics of popteen Models advertising for decopocky and tsukurikata (a kind of manual)

The LINK to the official decopocky page (japanese)

And HERE you can find some commercial video (with Tsubasa Masuwaka) and tsukurikata!

Tsubasa Masuwaka Dolly Wink Clip

2010-02-02T12:47:00.003+01:00

Just how you know there is a make-up line designed by Tsubasa Masuwaka. Yes I'm talking about Dolly Wink ♥
Today I found a video on youtube, where you can see some videos of her in the process and of her photoshoot. I myself looooove dolly wink! Still I didn't have the chance to try it out myself, but I will for sure!

So, here is the video, enjoy♥

Younger Aina

2010-01-24T19:36:00.004+01:00

All models have been looking pretty diffrent before they really became models! So did Aina, at least I think so. In the egg there were around 2 or 3 Pages about Aina, her past and everything. There were a lot of pictures too and I think they're really interessting! That's why I scanned them from you! Can't say pretty much to the pictures, just enjooooy♥

There were some of Romihi too. I think she changed pretty much! If you compare the picture on the right with the way she's looking nowdays. So diffrent!

Egg February 2010 & Eyelash tutorial

2010-01-18T21:43:00.008+01:00

I know I'm a little bit late but somehow it took this month longer until I recieved my egg! Sadly!
But well, here are scans of the pages I really liked! Featuring a pretty good explanation about how to apply false eyelashes! I have tried it out and I have to say it worked out pretty well. I was even to lazy to read, I just took a look on the pictures. So maybe it will help some of you too♥
I just picked out my favorite ones, I think they're the best ones.

I really love the pages with "Puu-Gal and Nyan-Gal"! It's so sweeet with the animal-topic!♥

I love Yunkoro 's outfit on this picture!

And as always Aina Tanaka can't be missing as one of my favorite models!♥

Ripped jeans are really great! They look so rebellious! On this picture with that clothing-combination it's just looking great!

Overknees! Great looking shoes♥

So here now the False Eyelash Tutorials! I scanned 3 of them. Hope it will help some of you♥

Yumachi & Aina singing!

2010-01-07T22:22:00.007+01:00

No problem! After Naoki and co. there are Yumachi and Aina starting!
It's going to be released in 2010, when? We don't know yet!
But still they introduced a little preview on a christmas event where they made a promotion video. Doesn't look too bad when they're singing, does it? ♥

Here's the video:

♥Shoplist♥

2009-12-28T18:44:00.020+01:00

So well, somebody asked me if I had some internetpages where to buy gyaru-like clothing. Indeed I know a few. But some don’t ship abroad. There you will need a „shopping service“.

PLEASE READ:

★ How can I buy clothing from japanese onlineshops?
☆ You have to use a shopping-service (search in google for "japan shopping service" and you will find some). Some of the rakuten shops ship overseas. Try to search on http://event.rakuten.co.jp/borderless/index_en.html

How ever. Here a List of clothing stores I know, mostly from rakuten (click on the picture to get on the page):

afaik=short for as far as I know, just that I don't have to write it all the time ;D

Everybody of you should know ageha. Yes♥ So this is the onlineshop to the magazine. As far as I know they don't ship overseas.

Diffrent clothing, no certain brand afaik

Black-ageha, clothing similar to the ageha clothing. No certain brand afaik.

Dreamv is at the moment my absolutely favorite shop! It's split into 2 parts. Princess and Glamour. I prefer the Glamour one! It's more "cool" and stylish, while princess is more like hime, cute♥

I think many of you know that shop already as well. It's the official webstore to the magazine. You can find there some of the clothing shown in the magazine.

A shop with egoist clothing.

I guess many of you know that shop already as well. A shop which ships to any country on this planet♥

Very nice clothing as well. No certain brands afaik.

Diffrent clothing, mostly ageha-like. No certain brands afaik.

I think most of you know this shop as well. Maaaany diffrent brands just like in the real shibuya 109! But some shops are missing in the net shop.

Brands like Dazzli'N and Heaven & Earth

The Sneep Dip store on rakuten. Have ordered there some cool glasses! Great shop and fast shipping. This is one of the shops you can find on rakuten international.

Diffrent brands.

Good looking clothing, no certain brand afaik. Has got some accessoires as well.

Maaaaaaaaany brands. Mostly not as expensive as in the store. Maybe they're already preused or left overs. Never bought there so I don't know

Onlineshops for WIGS:

Wigland! They have got many wigs from prisila, but also others!
I will be ordering there some time for SURE!
I haven't yet, so I can't tell you anything about it.

Here are 2 other shops I found. Don't really know anything of these either.

Wigland.biz, they have got wigs from malibu and prisila!

ii-shop.com I think they have got some really great wigs! Especially for men.

If you have luck you'll be able to find things from the diffrent rakuten shops on the international site of it. CLICK ME TO GET THERE. You'll have to search for it. But I just warn you, shipping is mostly pretty expensive!

Soooo

Hope you liked my little list of shops I know and order from (in some of them).

Enjoy shopping♥

2009-12-15T19:19:00.002+01:00

I think you all already know that there's a calendar 2010 of Kumicky which has been released. I found it in the interenet to download and clicked through it. Before I didn't want to buy it, but now I changed my mind! It's sooooo cute♥ And you can choose between 2 pictures each month! That's so good! Because often there's always a month I don't like.

So here's the cover:

HERE's the link for the download. I DIDN'T scan it because I haven't bought it yet! So all credits go to hudie.com and vimee.net !

Egg January 2010

2009-12-10T20:54:00.008+01:00

I got my new egg 01-10. Like the cover, the girl is cute. Someone new♥
I guess she has a twinsister, that's why I scanned the page because of which I'm thinking this way. Must be twins, they look just exactly the same! Can't say which one it is who's on the cover. But somehow strange that they didn't put both of them on the cover.

Even egg had a "hat"special. But still, I like the ones in ageha better

so here are my scans, enjoy♥

Romihi is looking pretty strange on this one don't you think so? haha

How about week-fashion? Day 1-7, 1 outfit for one day. Like the idea. So here some pages of it:

And for the end my 2 favorite models Aina Tanaka and Yumachi ♥

2009-12-02T19:40:00.005+01:00

Here some pictures of the line and of her promoting the book, as well as the book cover just first:

I think she's cuter with blonde hair >x<~♥

Well then about Sakurina! She's one of my favorite models too. Sooo beautiful! I guess you all know that she's modelling mostly for ageha and has even released an own cd (Angel). Now she's playing in a movie! It will be only in cinemas for around 2 weeks and from then on buyable on DVD! The movies name is GIRL's LIFE. It's pretty much about hostessing. I absolutely want to see it! ♥

Popteen Charisma Model

2009-08-25T21:54:00.005+02:00

Popteenカリスマモデル/Popteen Charisma Model, it's Girlstalk, so you can see a few Popteen Models (Junpo, Kumikki and Marimo) in a Tv-Show!
Pretty cute I think!
First they're talking about Kumikki's appearance on so many covers of popteen and shortly after that she has to show Kumikki poosu, haha! So cuuuute♥
A Charisma Profile follows the whole thing, talking about Junpos age, that she's 23, and they weren't able to guess so.

They get even asked the question if they have a boyfriend. Everybody answers, "No haven't!". So it seems to be really true that Kumikki isn't with Ayumu anymore! She says that she'd be too busy! OMG! So the rumor about them is really true! I was so suprised!

well for the rest, watch it youself, enjoy♥

thanks and credits to shabekuri01

Kumikki once again. She's nearly everywhere lately. but yeah, watch out!
It's quite cute and entertaining to watch♥
