No Wig, No Life (99) 
A few weeks ago I posted this video~~ It’s about how the use of “fashion wigs” has gone up 207% in 2009! They got many girls to remove their wigs in public. They also did a comparison in the amount of time it took to get one’s hair ready. As you can see below the full wig took 4 minutes while curling ones hair took 31 minutes!

Seriously!? Wigs are a freakin’ time-saver!? I never thought of it that way! 
And I started thinking, what if I really did buy a wig? For fun!? For cam whoring? For actually wearing??!!! For putting on 7am on Saturday morning when Mike wants to “do a Starbucks run” that morphs into us being out for hours on end at stores and cafes~~!! Because that happens A LOT. At night too. When I think we’re not going out and I remove all my make and my hair is crap we suddenly decide to do random date night and I end up going out looking like a soccer mom. To at least have perfect hair would be AMAZING~! 
I feel bad too because I think the wig kinda looks better
Many girls choose for the wig-parts instead. Like clip-in extensions or hair bun pieces. This girl is using hair bun piece, but I love how HUGE of a fan her friend must be of Wakatsuki Chinatsu! She even looks like her with the full nude make going on & decked out in W
C! Hahahah, すごい～～～ so cute!
Under the “read more” there are a lot of photos (50+) so beware if you’re on your phone or something~~

Donki’s Tokyo Cover Girl (61)
I had heard Donki (ドン･キホーテ - Don Quijote) was putting out a line of extremely cheap clothing (fast fashion) but I didn’t realize they were selling full sets of outfits using a Tokyo Cover Girl theme! SO CUUUUTE! I love this idea!! Donki was one of the few places on my much too short trip last year that I visited multiple times. I think I visited 3 times?! The store basically has any sorta random ~ bizarre item you want. Kigurumi, hostess garb, circle lenses, fireworks, Japanese tees, sweat baths, cellulite rollers, so on & so on randomness.
OK, enough reminiscing and pining… the clothes!! 
Admittedly they’re quite basic, but for around $40 USD you can’t expect something extravagant for a 3-piece set! 
Most of the looks don’t really match my current tastes but the above three were my favorites! 
I’d love a cheap set that includes the mock-shirt skirt!! I keep wanting to buy one but I’m still so paranoid about sizing and fit that I’ve held off. You can view them all here. 
I also think I heard they were/have come out with a line of $7 jeans?! LOL! Fast-food-like fashion indeed 
*added*
*Thought I’d add this little video of the SG models doing the cover shoots for the brand line 
Thank god for teh youtube! haaaar!*
The boring stuff~ LOL
I didn’t think I’d get to blog today, though now it’s so late I don’t really have the time to post what I wanted to right now. Yesterday I wrote up this long private entry about how hard things have been for me this week. It was incredibly whiny and self-indulgent. Then last night something happened and I realized how selfish I have been. Selfish in that the only happiness that mattered was my own. So, I think I can make it to the weekend, and look on the brighter side of things and try to help others in their happiness first.
Plus today my heater got fixed! yay~ no more loud noise! They still have to come back and replace the motor though. But it’ll keep the house heated until then so it’s OK.
Also, if you haven’t noticed, my New Year’s Resolution is going great! I haven’t bought any clothes and it’s been 4 weekends now! 
The weekends are when we go to the stores, but I’ve only been window shopping! And even with my online purchases (overalls, contacts, the stuff I really want) I’m spending less than when I’d just buy some random thing that “reminded” me of some Japanese brand item! It’s true, and I have my higher-than-ever bank account to prove it! Ha! 
Now I’m just holding off for spring items~ figure out what I want and then place an order~ Might be a while before I find my “must have” items 
Speaking of sales I saw Zara was having one last weekend so I cruised in… ya know, just TO SEE! I hate their sales! 
Seriously! Like 1/2 the merchandise on sale is damaged! WTF. 
Rips and stains and still $19!? no thanks Zara.
Oh yea, and I decided to slap my photo up in my sidebar! I used to have 1 there years ago, but then felt shame at showing how old I was! Hahahaha! Now there are soooo many bloggers in their 20’s, it’s no longer a shameful thing! Remember when we’d ask ourselves “What will I do when I turn 25?! I can’t continue to do such a childish thing like blog!” Plus ameblo & blogger all seem to have it, I feel I’m being all weird-secretive not having mine, I dunno~ Maybe I’ll take it down… errrrrrr. LOL Maybe this will better clear up any misunderstandings that I’m a Japanese person 
… Even though I have photos in my profile, I’ve still gotten random comments “Oh I thought you were Japanese.” gaaaaah 
I never know how to respond to that b/c I don’t lead on that I would be~ 
OK, it’s late and I’m RAMBLING!

Overalls Overload! (50)
I’m quite easily made self-obsessed over things. So when I buy something I’m particulary fond of I tend to get a bit obsessive about it! 
My latest purchase of overalls is no exception. I’ve done quite a bit of “image saving” of lovely Japanese models and alike donning either the exact pair of overalls or something similar. So I figured, let me share my plethora of saved obsessive pics!
