Etsy Store Grand Re-Opening

Now 100% more models! I want to especially thank K. Spencer Jones Photography for the pretty and vivid fashion shots and my models, Natalie Leora Jensen...

and Thelma Duff!

Models are not the only changes. I've also lowered the shipping costs because I have a more feasible method now.

And in honor of the grand re-opening, I've also taken 25% off most of the shirts! Click here to visit the shop and thanks for your support!

I have finished listing all the clothing accessories left over from MetroCon!

All the clothes listed are authentic and come from Tokyo's alternative fashion district: Harajuku! I personally go from shop to shop, boutique to boutique and mall to mall to find the cutest shirts and accessories. I buy only shirts with Engrish on them because it's very popular over there and rather hilarious here.

Below are some examples of what I have for sale! The faster you buy, the sooner I can go back to Tokyo and buy more!

The boutique is open!

Finally! I've managed to catalog and photograph all my merchandise from Japan and have begun listing in on eBay for your buying pleasure! CHECK IT OUT!

There's not much now, but I will continue to list more clothing and stationery as the week goes on. Thanks for your patience and I hope you enjoy what you find!

一円九！109!

Ah, the iconic 109 (ichi-maru-kyuu) building in Shibuya, mecca of the ギャル (gyaru or "gal") culture in Tokyo. This was one of the top items on my list of things to see while in Tokyo, but due to my traveling schedule, it had to wait 9 days into my trip. I wanted to devote as much time as possible to Shibuya and all its wonder. At 109, you'll find an ecclectic array of clothing, accessory and shoe stores along with cafes and nail salons.

Some of you might not be totally unfamiliar with 109. If you played "The World Ends With You" for the DS. You might recognize it as the "104" building in the game. And yes, the game is laid out almost exactly like the real Shibuya - building fascades and all. I was pleasantly surprised and able to (sadly) navigate my way through all the streets without any problems because of it.

I stood at the entrance for a moment to let the fact that I was standing at the portal of all things cute and trendy sink in. Once inside, we decided to go to the B2 floor and work our way all the way to the top. It's 10 floors consisting of about 12 stores apiece - a daunting task I was more than willing to take on. A complete list of stores can be found here.

I can't do much in the way of purchasing clothing for myself because Japanese sizes are a lot like binary: 0's and 1's only. But I did manage to find a lot of cute accessories at very reasonable prices.

Only 20 more days until I can go back and I promise to do a very thorough sweep of each floor grabbing as many photos and notes as I can for those interested in going.
