You too can be cute

After reading the latest Wired Japanese schoolgirl watch, I am thankful not to be a Japanese schoolgirl. The pressure to have the latest Hello Kitty gadget! The endless quest for cuteness! The constant buzzing, ringing, and beeping of electronic devices! How do they do it?
Japanese schoolgirls are now wearing spooky black contact lenses for that “gigantic monochromatic pupil” look made popular by anime heroines. I look good in anime, don’t you think?
fashion geek japanese wtf?
Yikes. What a weird trend.
Although I don’t think I’d need those contacts– I already look like an anime character. See my blog. heh heh.
That is freaky. Don’t ever post that picture again.
When I lived in Hawaii, EVERYONE was fucking obsessed with Keroppi and Pochacco. I blame it on the close proximity to Japan.
Oh, god, how horrible.
Scary! How do they see? Does it make the world look black/grey? Despite your cute smile, it looks like your eyes are poked out.
Yaaah! That was creepy — in an unexpected sort of way. You look… uh, great… like that.
I think there is some sort of (neurological?) disease that cats get where their pupils go all huge like that. I think it’s pretty serious, too. Anyway, hooray for Japanese trends!
Great timing Becky…I thought I could quit therapy….
Hello Doctor?
I think you should wear them to work.
oh. my. gosh.
NO NO NO you people are doing it all wrong! the eyes may be big and black, but they still have the colourful iris borders around the pupils!
[I got the eye parts right, right?]
BTW don’t EVER do that again, becky. you scared me into thinking i was watching the Ring again!
except less hair and no wells.
Yikes!
Becky, no wonder you’re usually so camera shy.
:-P
Okay, based on this feedback, I will retire the anime look and get my eyes back.
