Manba Boom?

So, the other day when I was browsing through the forums on ricoche.net, i saw a thread regarding manba possibly making a comeback(because of Geha becoming an egg model). One person replied that they hope it doesnt become big, because they did not want to do manba.
....
.....
.......
WHAT?

Just because a style pops up and gets big or has a bit of a folllowing, it does not automatically mean that you HAVE to do that style if you like it or not. If that was the case, everybody would have ditched manba for something else, or became hime gyaru when it popped up on the scene.

If you don't like a certain style, then you don't do it. Simple as that! I and a few of my gal friends didn't do hime style,or resort style, or alot of other styles that other  people prefer or that are popular now.

 I do like to play with my look a bit, but I mostly stick to rock style, banba,tsuyome(and manba on occasion these days.)and just go with what *I* like, not what a magazine "wants" me to do.

Hair Colour

So lately, I have been bored with my black hair, dark brown /black extensions, and partially bleached bangs.

first bleaching


summer


august'10

jan 10th ish (where did all the light parts go? lol ;o;
i guess all snipped away....

The bleached parts that i did kept up really nice, especially with a light snip snip every now and then. Didnt have problems with really terrible breakage or super bad split ends either.

I don't want to have a REALLY light hair colour, just something a bit lighter and different, and something I DON'T see in the 'hood. (bright blondes, skin tone hair, red found in those kinky twists...)



I want a dark ash type of colour. Not too dark, not too light.
just a bit darker!!

i like this one. maybe a little darker though??

i kinda like the girl's hair on the left

I just dont know how light my hair would have to be to have the colour I want to catch on nicely. Maybe I should try it on the lightest part of my bangs...

Maybe if I dye it to "brown cinnamon" and them add a colour to tint it a little it might work (since I dont want it super bright anyways...) hmmmm 

"Rich wine" colour looks kinda nice....
hrrm...

Im so indecisive!!
ahh!! I just dont want to end up with a fucked up colour, or damaged hair[especially since im doing this on my own!!] (also why im not going super light... but maybe it'll be ok?) {also have to buy new extensions to dye too.......)

All I know is that I have to condition and moisturize ALOT.
Atleast I dont have to worry about my hair getting damaged from the few perms I used to get. (last one was in late June of '10~, and not going back <3)


and i think i blog too much LOL
maybe 1 post per week unless i have something super interesting? LOL
geez... im at about 60 something posts >.>

But thank you to my  98 followers for reading all my weirdness, and babbling lol.

Art Post





3portraits and 1ink drawing:
Mana(Malice Mizer;watercolour),Hidenori(20 yrs ago;watercolour,present), Julie(chalk pastels,present) ,and a character i made up.



Some time ago,before studying and lack of sleep, I had this rush come over me.
I want to work even harder to get to my goals.
I want to go somewhere out of the USA;Japan,London,Norway,etc.
And also become an artist as well.
Not one of those artists where you look at their work and go " THIS is art?" and the only reason why they are famous is because they just have connections and/or money.
Ive been looking at my options and trying to see what will work the best for me; teaching/studying/working in Japan just to be able to get there,etc.

Also,Im even going to make a new blog JUST for my art and made things....or should i just have them posted here since I already have a nice follower base?? :x hrmmmm
Still on the topic of art, I LOVE seeing people's faces when i give them a portrait of them, or when they see it the first time.
Like when I showed Julie the portrait that i was working on. She was quiet! I thought she thought of me as a freak for using her photo w/out permission, or that it was ugly lol. But she loved it. C:
Or when I sent my honey a phone pic of the portrait i did for watercolour practice purposes, he was too happy! The piece now sits in his apartment ♥
I just have to get better,stay motivated,and get more materials too.
