Since the end of World War II, "consumerism" and "consumption" have become the national past-time for most Japanese and in particular teenage girls who often live at home with their parents well into their twenties. Their rent free existence provides them with the enough funds to flock to Harajuku every weekend, where they transform themselves into Lolita-esque baby doll caracitures.<br /><br />It's all a sort of a pop-art meets pop-culture meets Western decadence kinda street where often a t-shirt with a western image like Mickey Mouse can go for several hundred dollars a pop. This constant pursuit of rock n roll pop star hipness extends to teenage boys too. They in turn have opted for the western inspired hip-hop culture of disheveled jeans hanging half way to their knees, caps at all angles on their heads and of course lots and lots of bling.<br /><br />Often the net result looks like something out of a Manga comic book as the fashionistas of Harajuku compete to look less human and more iconic. Not concerned about what we in the West may see as a conflict of style over substance, Harajuku Girls unlike the Goths, punks and bond girls that came before are not about rebellion from society. No, in fact these girls, like most Japanese, are often extremely polite and happy to pose for photographs with inquisitive tourists who gather every Sunday to take happy snaps of these super-model caricatures.<br /><br />For the Girls of Harajuku, their most extreme vice may be a simple cigarette.<br /><br />Peter Shuttlewood is the author of webzine freshread [http://www.freshread.com] which contains articles on Popular Culture with an Australian slant.

Without a doubt the most famous street of Harajuku's is Takeshita. It is highly doubtful that you will see such a place back home - taking into consideration that I am orginally from a place of 3,000 people and sheep outnumber humans by 1000:1 it holds especially true for me.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />So who are these infamous Harajuku Girls?<br /><br />Harajuku gyaru (girl) is the phrase most commonly used to identify girls who hang around Tokyo's Harajuku district. And of the many varied sites, definitely some of the more eye-catching are the lithe figures of the girls that flank the streets there. A word of warning though, "All that glitters is not gold" and all that looks like a girl is often not either.<br /><br />You will find the fashion styles not only diverse but in some cases exceedingly bizarre. I often notice myself mentally 'high fiving' the girls for their courage and complete lack of self-consciousness. Here are a few of the genres that I have been privileged to see in my trips down those lanes: Gothic Lolita, Gothic Maid, Wamono, Decora, Second-Hand Fashion, and Cyber Fashion (which tends to feature goggles, masks, leather and latex.) In one of my more memorable trips I even saw several girls wearing fake blood and bandages.<br /><br />What possesses these girls to dress in such an outrageous (and often provocative) way you ask yourself...<br /><br />A number of of them are evidently doing their best to imitate rock bands such as Japan X (this band almost deserves a post of it's own.) If we put on our social anthropology coats and glasses (or goggles if you want to get into the swing of it) and burrow deeper we can appreciate that for many others this is a form of escapism. At the peril of over-generalizing I have observed Japan to be a very homogeneous society and this weekly indulgence allows them to briefly escape the majority of the rules of Japanese society. It gives them individuality not as certainly apparent while wearing their usual school uniforms or workplace costume. And perhaps at the heart it gives these wonderful ladies an outlet to express, often in very sexual ways (with ripped stockings, garters, and mini-skirts, etc), the oppression of the Japanese female in their predominantly male dominated society.<br /><br />I have created the opportunity to talk to quite a a small number of of these girls over the years to try and grasp what makes them 'tick' and found the Harajuku Girls, underneath all the make-up and bling, to be like the girl next door - tremendously polite, gracious and warm-hearted.<br /><br />Haydn Stevenson provides you with Free Tips for a more stress-free, fun and enriching life in Japan (including the secrets of how he creates income on 100% 'auto-pilot' while being a full-time solo dad.)<br /><br />For those starting out living in Japan or are just plain 'curious' http://japanfordummies.com shows you this wonderful country through the eyes of an 'outsider' who has bumped up against the Good, the Bad and Ugly.. and lived to tell the tale ;-)<br /><br />Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Haydn_Stevenson<br /></div>

Harajuku Girls - Meet the True Fashion Icons of Japan

'Harajuku girls', popularly known as the 'fashion aficionados' or the 'beauty stars of Japan', are best known all over the world for their unique costumes, which are made in various styles of clothing that originated in the rich culture of some of the major cities of Japan.

A large number of fashion styles, including the cyber fashion, Gothic Maid, Wamono, Gothic Lolita, Second-Hand Fashion, and Decorah, can be noticed among these young ladies.<br /><br />They can be often seen wearing dark outfits combined with traditional Japanese clothing, such as Kimonos and fans. Some of them also wear fake bandages and blood and carry things, such as cell phones, hello kitties, and photo stickers, which symbolize modern Japan. The varied clothing styles of these girls are beautifully featured by 'FRUiTS', the most popular Japanese street-fashion magazine.<br /><br />Their Purpose<br /><br />Why do these Harajuku girls dress in such outrageous outfits every weekend? Is it their love for fashion that drives them to do so? The answer is 'No'. There are much deeper reasons behind it. The weekly ceremony that lasts just for a few hours allows them to not only spend their spare time and money, but also momentarily escape the strict rules of the male-dominated Japanese society. Outrageous dressing styles actually symbolize the oppression of the female gender and their attempt to seek their individuality and independence to express.<br /><br />Their Nature<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3XjiFhzQQzcmy_-NAsG0CAIfD04OxfAazjHQGIZUfM9g411s90_3u7gKLLTo0OeP0WG_r3ie1_8hHejjEDme1DZc4zoW2MG1sOqXM1PCfBLeZPnLXshdILhDIZxkGr0DS6546ZdQhJYY/s1600/harajuku2.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491886611614483074" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3XjiFhzQQzcmy_-NAsG0CAIfD04OxfAazjHQGIZUfM9g411s90_3u7gKLLTo0OeP0WG_r3ie1_8hHejjEDme1DZc4zoW2MG1sOqXM1PCfBLeZPnLXshdILhDIZxkGr0DS6546ZdQhJYY/s320/harajuku2.jpg" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 250px; height: 282px;" /></a><br /><br />They compete with each other to look more iconic and less human!

Westerners are often looking to the Japanese to find styles that will let them mimic those hot looks. If you want to sport the latest Japanese hairstyle, go for short and sassy cuts.</p>   <p>One great Japanese hairstyle is the modern bob. Get your hairdresser to cut your hair into a bob and add feathery layers all over. This will add volume and texture (great for those with fine hair) and a bit of height. Try out different length layers and turn this cut into one of your own. Add highlights for some spice. This is a great style for anyone because it’s so easy to adapt.</p>   <p>The medium slice is another popular haircut. This is perfect for medium straight hair and this cut has heavy graduation. A razor is used to texture your hair so go to a reputable hairdresser to avoid damage. This is great for thick hair and good for those with thin hair if volume is added. This style is sassy and gorgeous day or night.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" class="alignnone" src="http://www.troodi.com/files/961fe372e172.jpg" style="width: 350px; height: 534px;" /></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div></div>

I was recently invited by Sarenza, a French online shoe retailer that has just launched a UK site, to enter a competion to win a shopping trip to Paris. All I had to do was choose a pair of shoes from Sarenza, wear my most fashionable outfit to match the shoes and take a picture of myself. The blogger that gets the most votes between 5 and 10th July will win a shopping trip to Paris. You can follow the competiton on the Sarenza Blog. I will be eternally grateful for any votes (I shall post a reminder a bit nearer the time)<br /><br />The shoes that I chose were by Pare Gabia whose range I have a crush on because they combine elegance and wearabilty and flatter my feet, yes gorgeous shoes that I can actually walk in.<br /><br />As I wouldn't consider any of my clothes to be the height of fashion, I decided to wear my faithful beige dress which fits in well with the summers trend for neutrals but is also is the perfect back drop to show of gorgeous accessories and of course these shoes.<br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIyOyEcr5ceSJU32IDiNpZv_9Wrf3Kcx2xkz8V79REx9SVxlCt7VxZSd6xjGfh8j5sqpBK_mVOBii5wkaYIIOMqmZZ3r26IDbutomHGPVo5ixL4GimglZbxAVRUJrEP9nZ5o3Lkq_QzQAK/s400/025.JPG" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 256px; display: block; height: 400px;" /> <img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm5asDDi3tCFweP0oHOJvfo3E_88TscmG0jaby1DU1TlcWgjESc4QdfTXM79_NJYycZXL7tICdmBUv0jirVdY5gRzvCjODEIOprFNQ8DGDXGAwSn0BX3cEJfI5PgRG1pwsC5ok2lkkJjii/s400/028.JPG" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 363px; display: block; height: 400px;" /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUSZN6iXSUIr3KOa63jCsimAHbt2VA0XmgoLY0uLdMoNtUnAS8nUAb9V5eSf-1-xnKxjGo6wvfJgEnqZtRxz_Icjcf6BpJwVMdsP9C2dasMrh0dEZ3uvRjNxcY8gjr7QrsP1Ei7IwkmYAi/s400/047.JPG" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px; display: block; height: 323px;" />
