Quick Post About Yukata & Idea
Sunday August 15, 2010
It’s 1am. :mooon: Haven’t been up this late in a long time~ well, not up & doing things. :blushingcute: Maybe lying in bed staring at the wall… haah! :facepalmcry: Mike’s up late trying to finish the last part of Star Ocean and I find it hard to sleep without him so… yeah, I’m up too. :snot:
I had tweeted that NHK World featured a bit of the Shibuya W♥C store in a yukata special talking about their mini yukata style…
I like the staffer’s cute bob. :grin: I might get my hair chopped like that after my trip :orooro:
I’ve been off again, on again happy with growing mine out. :biglove: But I feel I have no right to bitch about it when I barely doing anything with it on a day-to-day basis! :rubeyes: I wear it straight or mix curled and that’s mostly it lately. SO! A CHALLENGE!
I decided to do a different style each day for 1 week! :kissyheart:
I’m on day two today~ :twinkle: It’s kinda fun challenging myself with this. :kyaaface: I hate being all moans & groans when I’m not actually TRYING to make it better. :toto: So we’ll see how it goes! If I still feel the same way after a week. Maybe I’ll get it cut BEFORE my trip. But I highly doubt that… :smallcry: It’s more likely I’ll buy a bob wig in Tokyo so I can TEST DRIVE that do before going “all the way.” :rose1: I’ve had short hair before for many years :upheart: but never a long layered bob exactly like the one above, so it’ll be different still. :skull:
Errrrrrrrr, anyway! :gigglewakuface:
I went to see Hubble 3D :twinklepink: today, walked around DC, ate pizza, bought 2 outfits at H&M, cooked gyoza soup, and a few other things. :ureshii: I’ll try to blog about them soon~~
It’s been a stormy week with power cutting on & off daily! :stressedmind: So being on my computer & blogging wasn’t really doable this week :( :stressball:
There are SO MANY TREES GONE from my neighborhood now! :kanjicry: The storms brought heavy rain & 70+mph winds. Tons & tons of damage. We couldn’t even get off our street Thursday. :facecry:

My boyfriend played Star Ocean for a while haha xD
Ooh those yukatas are cuteee!!! -
Haha – how cute!
Mini Yukata!Adorable!
:D Love them!
I can’t believe I didn’t see a W♥C store store when I was in Tokyo!
But, then again, I didn’t get around to going to Shibuya (CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT!)Insane!
I just got my hair re-cut into a bob – but that that bob (points to picture) is actually
pretty tough to maintain – all the fluffing and curling to get it to look so pretty everyday!I wish I had that sort of commitment!

Hmmm….you could try and get a haircut while you’re there in Japan. Although you would definitely have to get a good recommendation from your friend.
California could totally use some of that rainy weather you’re having, considering how this is like the fourth year in a row that we’re in a drought…
-
Wow, the storms sound pretty severe =/ My aunt and her friend are visiting D.C. these couple of days, so it’ll probably suck for them =(
Anyway…Cute Yakata! I really like the shorter version. Are you planning to buy one when you visit Japan?
-
oh my god, the mini yukata is super adorable!
i would love to own like 23423423+ of them haha.bob wigs ftw :3
-
I am also awake at 1AM! *high-five*
I want a mini Yukataaaaaaaa~ That’s such a great idea especially if it’s too hot/humid for a full one. They’re super cute too! You should try one on when you go to the WC store!!!! O:
I saw those hairstyles on Twitter!! I really really love the last one. It’s so cute!
That storm is insane o_o I don’t think it’s ever been that bad here in Seattle…
-
omg the mini yukata plus the shop girl are adorableeeeeeeeee X3
id love to see pics of you with the hairstyles ;) the last one is my fav hehe i have to learn how to do that~ -
I have a mini-yukata, but that one was bought in a fetish-shop and it’s not as frilly and cute as the one in those shots. It’s more sexy xD
Good luck with your challenge! Are you going to post pictures about it every day or are you going to collect them all and post them on the last day?
The storms sounds horrible!
-
Aw the yukatas look very adorable! You must invest in one when you go to Japan.
And I hear ya about those storms!! No power outage but the wind and deathly darkness is just super icky — but a guilty pleasure for me. Haha. I had to drive to work in it one day. Not fun! I wonder if we’ll get anything from this hurricane season like a few years back. Hummm….
-
Isn’t it amazing how they are like “Hey traditional Japanese culture – let’s make this crazy fun!” I love that attitude. I wish I got NHKWorld on my tv plan!
Your deck! I love it when you post pictures of your deck, it’s so pretty :D
Aww I can’t sleep when Andy isn’t there either :O
-
omg that staff=chan is so cute~!! ♥ But who am I kidding, ALL of the w♥c staff-chan are adorable, haha!
I’m so excited that your trip is literally a week away! SO AMAZING!! D:
I think that hairstyle would look great on you too~ you have just the right kind of face/face shape to carry it off! ♥ I love your little ‘hair plan’ drawings too, haha~ too cute!
Hope you enjoy a relaxing Sunday & that you get some sunshine finally~ it’s shining down here today THANK GOD!! XD -
I admire your will power to try to do something different with your hair everyday. It has been SO HOT that I don’t even want to blow dry my hair. ;_; I can’t wait until fall/winter to come. My hair has never been so oily and ugly before and it’s all because of the heat! D:
-
wah~ i’m happy you’re challenging yourself with new hairstyles everyday of the week~ it sounds super interesting~ and fun ^_^ another reason to admire the wonderful jenny~! i hope the storms disappear soon!things sound pretty bad… O_O
-
I love yukata…I was seriously considering getting one about a year ago but the truth of the matter is I have nowhere to where it. -_-|| Even just wearing at home would be a little strange, I think. The short one with the petticoat is so adorable, though.
-
I wish I had the patience for a hair challenge. Everyday I just throw it in a pony tail. The most I’ve ever done is give my originally wavy hair a straight perm. But then again as someone who is trying to do wildlife photography as her profession in the near future, hairspray and curls are probably not realistic for me. Hahaha…
Good luck with the hair challenge!
-
I saw your tweet about the mini yukata on twitter and i then turned on the tv and changed to NHK World and i caught the program from the very start! And i’m viewing from the uk, i felt very lucky! ^^
I really like the staffers bob too, so cute!There seems to be quite strange weather all around the world recently :/ It’s quite cold over here at the moment, ad it’s August! It is supposed to be summer still.
Good luck with your hair challenge!
-
That staffer’s bob cut is cute! I love the way she curls it too. I have a slightly longer bob than her and whenever I try to achieve that slight curl it always ends up to look horribly odd. Plus the weather has been bad so it either ends up frizzy or goes straight in the middle of the day. Oh my hair woes :(
The hair challenge is a great idea! I hate to wake in the morning and try to decide how to do my hair or whatever. I always end up just curling it or keeping it straight. Kinda boring really… Same with outfits. Hate deciding about it in the morning XD
I think wigs are awesome when you want a quick change or having a bad hair day. Too bad I have this odd fear of wig hair otherwise I’d get lots of wigs so I’d have more interesting styles XD But I think a bob cut would look really cute on you! If you’re unsure though I guess just try it out with the wig first. I’m also like you. I’m always changing my mind on whether I want it long or short. Whenever I see gals with their gorgeous long hair I want to grow it and same for seeing girls with cute short hair.

I just have regular NHK here in Japan, so I wasn’t able to see this program. In fact, they don’t show that much about gyaru trends or new clothing on TV here TT Well gyaru is still seen negatively….
Anyway, the yukata does look so cute and I think its wonderful it was shown on TV that reaches the world. W*C is becoming such a big brand so quickly XD
-
oh my goshhhh i never knew mini yukata could be so cute! but they areee! :3
ps: your handwriting is so cute&neat by the wayy! :) -
The mini yukata is so cute! I’d love to rock that.
-
Aaah, I saw that Yukata on the website last week and I still really want it~ You’re right though, unless you attend festivals it’s not really practical for that amount of money v-.- so cute though~! Especially with the petticoat
-
sometimes i feel like your life mirrors parts of mine in odd ways. maybe that’s why i get so excited when i see you update~ cos you’ll have a similar problem or interest but totally approach it a different way than i would! i mean, this time it’s the hair thing. but i’m just really sick of how damaged my hair is and want to chop it off…grr D: let us know how your hair styling goes!!
(want one of those mini yukata omg)
-
It’s been stormy here lately too. It’s been messing with my ‘net and TV. It seems to have calmed down again today. We didn’t get any rain but it felt stormy.
I love your handwriting – very cute. Hehe ;) I can’t wait to see what you decide to do with your hair. I haven’t told anyone yet but I’m thinking of getting mine cut shorter than usual next time I go to the hair-dressers… I just need to pluck up the courage cos I love my long hair. But sometimes you jsut need a change, don’t you? It’s only hair anyway: it grows back doesn’t it? :)
-
Ohhh, i’d love a short wc yukata with petticoat! so cute~~ ^^b Then head off to a night festival or something, (there are a few Asian night festivals where I live, in the summer)
-
The staff chan is super cute! I wish the staff in US stores were just as cute >:(
plus, ive been inspired by you to write stuff out too, it helps to stay organized than to wake up in the morning and go “i dont know what the hell I’m doing…”

Such a stormy summer for us Mid-Atlantic people (about 60 miles from DC). A tree branch actually fell on my garage roof and made a bit of a hole :O. Hopefully you’ll be safe from any damage like that :(.
Cute idea with the hair! If anyone can do it, it is definitely you Jenny!
