(no subject)

There's an article in Salon today about Gwen Stefani and her Harajuku girls that I found very interesting. I thought Stefani was just trying to draw attention to Japanese street fashion, but apparently she's being self-serving and more than a little bit creepy. Apparently her back up dancers(entourage?) is contractually obligated to speak only Japanese in public. And she's named each of them after her personal clothing line. Weird, man. I can only hope that one of the Harajuku girls will stab Gwen with a sharpened chopstick and manage to escape.

Japanese street fashion is a fascinating subject in its own right; Fruits by Shoichi Aoki is one of my favorite photo collections.

One of the perfume samples that came in the mail yesterday is called Golden Priapus. I just tried it on and it smells really good. A warm, spicy vanilla scent. Of course, I had to look up Priapus in the dictionary. Heh.
