When it comes to fashion, most people are like 'I don't really like fashion' and all that jazz...but there are two different kinds of 'fashion' that people are talking about. One is the love for buying brand clothing or designer clothing and showing it off, the other is the designing artsy side of it. I prefer the artsy side of it, while there are many 'fashionistas' that I know that prefer the other side.
The other side, I find, is hard to understand because...well...it's pretty boring. I can understand how SOME of it could look good...but that would be bordering on the artistic side. For instance, a slightly retro look with a lot of beige and some black with black hair and yellow eye make-up...that's kinda on the border of artistic fashion. That's something I'd like. Not this brown string jacket with wood beads and Capri jeans...with flip-flops...O.o; It can be interesting SOMETIMES, but usually it's pretty boring.
And I'm obviously not the one to wear these things...well...I'd like to, but I dunno where I'd start...XD Plus I doubt the things I would want to wear would be appropriate for school...XD So I wear all black, mostly 'cause black looks good in everything...except black...so...I have to try and balance it with the few amounts of slightly colourful clothes..."orz
Anyways, enough rambling about an introduction to fashion, let's get into the fashion!
...I dunno why I'm making this post so formal...I just wanted to talk about Chinese fashion...'orz
I just LOVE the cut of most Chinese fashion. It's almost like Victorian fashion how it fits the person uniquely to show off their good points, but I felt that some Victorian fashion looked really odd...I dunno how to explain it. The guys kinda reminded me of otters...O.o; Not that they didn't look good! XD But with Chinese fashion (mostly for girls) their clothes can make them look very sexy or very cute with just simple cuts of the dress...*.*
So I want to draw more Chinese fashion from now one...hrmm...Chinese mixed with Oshare kei mixed with Kpop fashion...hrmmm...>:3
Oh! I found some site with a bunch of Ayami Kojima's art!
The guy in the picture with the gold looks almost EXACTLY how imagined my OC Rune to look...with black hair...Rune has gold hair and black hair. I dunno why, I just think of him in two ways...O.o; And when Rune's hair is gold it's all curly, but when it's black is really straight and silky...>3>
I also found a site with pics from the artbook of Dynasty Warriors 7. I LOVE all their designs:
Some of the pictures are drawn by Ayami Kojima...this isn't one of them...but I LOVE this guy's design...okay...I just like the curly hair...X3 I can't help it! I love guys with fluffy curly hair~! X3

Oh...and since we were talking about fashion above and fashion involves models I'd like to talk about models and stuffs for a while...XD I've noticed that most of the models on the cat walk are probably chosen based on their bodies, not their faces...it's just...a lot that I've seen aren't very pretty...like they DO have very sharp features, but they either look really manly or they look like zombie...O.o; And almost ALL THE TIME they have really nice legs...so I think the main focus are the legs...
Anyways...
I came by something about a model dying from malnutrition (I imagine that DOES happen a lot) and that she only drank coke and ate lettuce...I read her weight and it said she was 97 lbs...and then I was like 'Waaaiiit...I way less than that!' and then I saw her height. She was 5'9" and 97 lbs....Yeah, I can see that being a problem. But seriously...why just coke!? Why not freaking water.
Which brings me to another talking point. Healthy eating!
Okay, this just pisses me off...people who DON'T EAT BREAKFAST! You eat that breakfast young man/woman! >:[ It's THE MOST IMPORTANT MEAL OF THE DAY!! Some people just drink coke for breakfast...
Coke is not a breakfast! Coke is a drink! I wouldn't just drink water and call that a meal. There's drinking liquids and there's eating food, both fill you up in two different ways. Coke fills you up in a gaseous way, just because you FEEL full doesn't mean you are...
I don't like soda...>3>
I hate these kids that almost brag about themselves skipping meals as if that'll make them look skinnier...or talking about how much they hate McDonalds. I saw some stand-up comedy routine on that...XD Anyways...yeah...most of these kids who do that complaining/bragging are obese...>.>
Also, I've found this out myself through almost trial and error. YOU HAVE TO EAT AT LEAST 3 MEALS A DAY! If you don't you'll feel miserable or have some sort of bad consequences. That's really important, I think.
Another thing is that you should follow the food pyramid! I know that's obvious, but for me, if I don't have any grains then I'll feel sick to my stomach, if I don't have any vegetables I'll have a headache, if I don't have any protein I feel tired, and if I don't eat any fruit then I feel nasty...Well, those are just my feelings.
Most of the time when you're feeling bad, it's probably what you ate. Eating is important in so many aspects!
Also, look at the ingredients of foods! It's fun 'cause you can learn something about how the food is made. Liike I didn't know you had to add cream cheese to muffins to make them all mushy. My mom kept making such dry muffins...>3>
My friends laugh at me 'cause I like to read the nutrition facts, but IT'S SOOO FUNNN! TT^TT Not just with food, with any consumable product! Shampoo's are fun 'cause you can read the scientific names for things! XD
...Oh, and I'm back to my manga dilemma thing...
The thing is, I want to write a shoujo manga...but something a bit unrealistic and silly. I have an idea that I want to do, but I think it's too boring...O.o; It's so subtle and not particularly charming. So I think I should choose another idea.
I keep wanting to do something with idols, but not everyone likes idols...I want to somehow make a manga that has pop idols in it or have something to do with them, but it's not too in your face..or it's more magical in a way...not as realistic.
But I can't think of anything out of my realistic box..."orz I've been looking at music lyrics, too, the lovey-duvey kind...but, again, I keep thinking of real-life situations..."orz
Oh! Speaking of love songs...this song is LOVELY:
Oh! I watched the first episode of The Wallflower live action drama! It was...ummm...hrm...silly? It was cute and enjoyable, but it was...well, I'm used to high quality things. I've noticed that acting in Japanese films and stuff aren't the best of quality...but it's still very charming.
Kazuya Kamenashi and Aya Omasa are the best actors/actresses in that! Kazuya Kamenashi does a PARTICULARLY great job, and Aya Omasa is EXACTLY like Sunako!
Also, in the first episode all the guys dress up as girls and I think Tegoshi Yuya looks VERY much like Misako Uno.
When they were at some of the shots on Tegoshi Yuya dressed up I was like 'WOAH MISAKO!?'
I've noticed that guys can dress up as girls...but girls can only barely dress up as boys since they're already allowed to wear pants...>3> Why can't men wear some skirts once and while? >:[
Y'know what...I want to dress androgynous...I wanna be that person that you have no clue if they're a boy or a girl like Jyou from exist trace. Of course, when you do know I'm a girl then you're all depressing over it 'cause I looked good as a guy!
Oh, I'll get to that Fantasia thing, no worries! I'm just trying to figure out how to word everything...but I kinda just want to post it with all the mistakes and confusion so people can correct me, but it'd create a lot of confusion..."orz
Okay...this post is long enough! I should also go to bed...nahhh...I can stay awake! >:D I just need to go to bed before...3 AM...'cause I usually go to bed at 3 AM..."orz
