Barely Legal

Since it was my birthday recently, I thought I'd...



And also:

Cibo Matto, everyone!! So much nineties Asian awesomeness.

The pictures should link back to their sources, except for the last one, which is my own. It's from their video for Sugar Water. Check out that snowflake dress! And those sunglasses!! AHHHHHHHHH

And, if you're wondering: I turned eighteen, and, yes, I had a nice day. There was this girl in my Econ class who turned eighteen on the same day, so when everyone sang "Happy Birthday," I pretended that they were also singing for me. It was awesome.

And. Yes, I am aware that you could just Google image search "Cibo Matto" and come up with these pictures.

Er...

Afternoon magic

I was listening to the radio this afternoon when I heard the magical dulcet tones of the Mulleavy Sisters beaming out of my earphones right into my soouulllll. I nearly jumped out of my chair and did a happy dance.
It was an interview on DnA (a design and architecture program), mostly on how they did the costumes for Black Swan. They also talk a bit about how they started Rodarte, and how they got in to fashion, and about horror films and such.



They talk about blood in such a beautiful way.

I dig that.

You can listen to the interview here. I highly recommend it--- there are also some gorgeous, gorgeous pictures of their other work up there too.
I'll leave you with my two favorite ones:

Daydreaming

*The Virgin Suicides

*Daisy by Marc Jacobs

*Elle Fanning, in Somwhere

*Dakota Fanning, in Secret Life of Bees

Wheat-haired blondes wandering around in a sun-drenched field.

I know it’s winter, but it’s not like it ever gets cold here in southern California.

"When She Was Bad"

High five if you pretend you're Buffy.

The Creeps

Too awesome for words.

I love the bloody-bruisy thing. Gore makeup should be an everyday look. (I wish.)

Creepy-chan, also known as Allison Harvard. She was on America's Next Top Model:

I am jealous of Scott Pilgrim.

I'm excited for Scott Pilgrim vs. the World to come out. Actually, I disapprove of the "boy has to prove himself to girl by fighting other guys for her" theme, but Ramona Flowers has epic hair--- and I'm also curious about the mysterious Ellen Wong, who will play Knives Chau (badass name, eh?).

Screencaps from Youtube.

Awesome hair, awesome goggles.

I really love this sweater.

Her jacket is also awesome.

Ramona in the library...

Blue hair

And green hair

.........................................

It was kind of hard to get decent screencaps of Knives Chau. She's a pretty neurotic character.

So, ehh, yeah. I'm kind of in love with Ramona Flowers.

"This video gave me diabetes"

These are screencaps from Katy Perry's video for California Gurls:

Purple hair!!

... Candy wrapper dress?

Sparkly shorts, and, um, cupcake breasts. Yes.

And here we have Snoop Dogg, commanding his terrifying legion of gummy bears, in his glorious jolly cupcake suit!!
.....

I don't even like either of these artists, but I love the song and the video. I like the shameless, extreme-to-the-point-of-scary sweetness. It's creepy. It's like the ultra-girly sparkle-crap that I longed for when I was a child, but a scarier, more sexual version of it.

I want.
