Cannibal Ferox | Acid Washed | Docs

Grasses make me feel sleepy.  No, Sheldon Cooper, grasses make me feel sleepy, not your fabric conditioner or your soft kitty song.

Acid Washed Skirt

This is a soft denim acid washed skirt  that I bought from a thrift store.  Acid washed skirts became popular in the late 1980s.  Acid washing is similar to bleaching – breaking the fiber of the material creating white streaks.

The term “acid-washed” is actually a misnomer since no acid is used during the process. Due to the revival of 1980s and 1990s fashion style, today’s women street fashion include tattered jeans and acid washed pairs of denim. You can check cool DIY bleached and tattered jeans on Pinterest.

Dr Martens

Not of a fan of skinheads or punk culture but it feels so good to wear them now without being labeled.  Today it’s becoming mainstream. Wearing a pair of docs became too mainstream when Miley Cyrus wore hers in her controversial “Wrecking Ball” video.  You murdered music, now you murdered Dr Martens.

Cannibal Ferox

Considered as one of the most violent films in the 1980s, Cannibal Ferox was banned in 31 countries for explicitly showing animal  torture and slaughter with disturbing violent images. The film is another video showing cannibalism and filmmakers’ attempts to introduce torture films to the general audience.  I hate violence, I love the shirt though. Bought this awesome shirt from SplatterClothing Choppingmall.  Hopefully, they’ll have BTK shirts soon.

Suspender Skirts (and Harajuku)

The fit and flare style is definitely not a fresh concept.  Yes, skater skirts were literally worn by figure skaters.  Flared skirts with bright colors- skaters began to wear them back in the old days.  Now they’re shorter, more modern and flared.

We’re done with skater skirts. And don’t forget the peplum dresses.  Because skater skirts become too mainstream, the fashion industry did some modifications. Although the suspender skirt idea is still not considered original and fresh, at least suspenders are cute and edgy.  Suspenders actually remind me of those androgynous looking guys in Lady Gaga’s video and  Jack of Titanic- my most vivid memories of suspenders.

I’m not really a fan of skirts. Oh well, let’s see.

Harajuku culture or fashion is popular worldwide. Even Gwen Stefani fell in love with it. The Harajuku Girls were featured in her stage shows and some Gwen Stefani music videos online.

If you like Tokyo fashion or anything Harajuku, then you should check these kawaii photos:
