I like a girl with a long jacket

Or however that Cake song went. Remember cake? I do. I liked them back in the day. Browsing at Sanseido yesterday to take advantage of the double-stamp day, and when I was looking through CUT, there was an interview/photoshoot of Aoi Miyazaki, and she had an artfully messed version of the Louise Brooks bob, and I do believe my heart expanded three sizes. Oh girl crushing, how amusingly non-shockingly easy you are.

Also, clearly dating Koyuki agrees with Kenichi Matsuyama as he's never looked so attractive as he does lately. The suits, the tailoring, the nice haircut and believable scruff. Super hot, L!

Have a present for the Meisa fans (you're welcome) on my fl and beyond, will be busy with that this afternoon. Also must figure out how to win the lottery as I want to own all of Mika Ninagawa's photobooks. And possibly Cindy Sherman. I love portraiture.

Thanks to nomanymore for the heads up on this gem: Apparently all kdrama has to do to flirt with my attention is to go out there for the gender bending, cross-dressing shoujo manga/manhwa angle and I'm their (not very) cheap date for the interim. But look at this sneak peek - there is SMIRKY GUYLINER (from do re mi fa so lo and baby and me and a bunch of historical kdramas that I never finished watching and that one movie Maki and Meisa did about the haunted cell phone!) some guy from a kpop band and some other guy! There is a cute girl with the generic let's make a beautiful cute girl look like a beautiful cute boy hair cut! SHE'S A NUN. SHE HAS A TWIN. OR DOES SHE.

There is vomiting in a woefully small planter! Slo-mo hugs of MEANINGFUL EMOTION AND FROZEN LOOKS OF SHOCK AND AWE, misunderstandings with crazy mean fangirls, ridiculous headgear, Oh Honey You're Wearing That?, probably bawdy physical humor and toilet jokes, improbably staged live performances with REAL instruments, the Sorry Sorry Dance, more v-neck shirts than you can shake an underweight model at, and best of all, I'm pretty sure I read this manga before.

Also, the deep philosophical thought of oh, I have an asymmetrical hair cut, my life is so hard.

I could not think of a better way to start off Rocktober, really.

REJOICE.

Of course, it could all go to suck in a handbasket ala boys over flowers, ala 'cat vomit' but it has Smirky Guyliner! Smirky never lets me down!
