The weird Japanese


Trust it to the Japanese to come up with the injured idol look. At this rate all the RS patients here would be spotting haute couture. LOL.

Mainichi Daily News and Weird Asia News report on Kegadoru, a Japanese fashion that can be spotted in the legendary Harajuku precincts, where fashion is ten years ahead of the rest of the world (and sometimes, ten dimensions over). Kegadoru (“injured idol”) is the practice of wrapping your head and body in bandages as though you were badly injured. There’s a stall in Camden Market in London that sells this stuff (here’s my picture of their “No photos allowed” sign, which was the only part of the stall they let me photograph the last time I was there), and I’ve seen it in Tokyo as well.

    What did you expect this is from a Nation of people who can build the finest electronics in world but year after year need to kill over a thousand whales for “RESEARCH”

    Sheesh how dumb do you need to be to miss something a thousand times?
