Tsubasa & Elis Napkins (52)

Actually put something else on besides sweats after work today…
Ran out to get some quick dinner… started to rain soon after

Skull Tank - Victoria’s Secret

Pants (white/blue striped) - H&M

Pink Tank - unknown

Ribbon Flip Flops - Donki (ドンキホーテ)

Rucksack - WC

Frames - Urban Outfitters

We got Popeye’s Chicken. I haven’t had them in a really, really long time but Mike suggested some indulgent fast food since I was having such a crappy day! I was happy to see Popeye’s now lists the calories of every menu item up on the big order board!!!! AMAZING! thank you, thank you Popeye’s

I was having, really, just another crappy day. A repeat of Monday. I got home and was wrapped up in a pretty boisterous pity party when I spotted a package from my friend!

YAAAY!

She had mentioned she was sending a little something to me this week.

Store fliers/booklets (including a Cat Cafe flier called Cafe Calico!)
Bath bombs

Snacks!

I’ve actually tried the one on the right before & its scent is lovely & sweet!
The left one will be a new try for me!

I already ate one bag of chips she sent!

The edamame flavor chips~~ these were REALLY GOOD as most soybean flavored chips are.

Tsubasa & Elis Collab!
益若つばさ×エリス
Maxi pads!
They feature a shadow cut-out of Tsubasa on the packaging.

HAAAAHAHAHAAA!
It’s so random she sent me these! I was already telling Mike I was gonna buy these when we go! I think it’s hilarious & cute! I’ve even been looking at the maxi pads that the Japanese market by me sells because they sell Elis brand too and I was hoping they’d get in these collaboration ones by chance!!

My friend is on the same wacky wavelength as me, and I love that!
These made my day, I love her so much

Shibuhara 2001 (46)

I was going through some older issues of magazines the other day and my ancient and decrepit August 2001 issue of Cawaii caught my eye. Why? SHIBUHARA!

It was amusing so I thought I’d scan in some pages!

Too bad Cawaii is now out of print. It would be fun to compare side-by-side the style differences. I have Popteen in mind for comparison since I feel it was closest matched to Cawaii. Some trends are the same. Black eyeliner, hot pink lips (which have been popular again recently,) and of course nail art. There are color contacts too but they aren’t circle lenses that print the color to the edge. There’s a whole little make section on how to match your eyemake to your colored contacts. Tans were big then. Big, big! Not being tan is a relatively new ideal in the world of “gals.” Some of these girls look older than their ages. Most are 18~22 but it’s such a contrast from how young gals look now. A shift from trying to look older to looking younger maybe.

I did notice an incredible lack of hair extensions. I had my assumptions that hair extensions didn’t really catch on until a few years later. It’s interesting to see the hair arranges using the girls’ thin hair. It’s quite obvious in the bangs! I kinda like it to be honest, LOL as a biased very thinned hair girl, hahahhaaa!

OVERALLS FOREVER PLEASE!
