My favorite manga would have to be, hands down, anything by Junji Ito. Long arduous bus rides fly by when I'm in his world of Gyo, Uzumaki and apart of the Museum of Horror Collection: Tomie.

I have also seen Uzumaki, the live action film;  interestingly it's eerie visuals and use of colour give off a 70s derelict, end of the world vibe which I adored and was more impressed when I realized it was produced in 2000. The trouble I had was how the bulk of horror and creepiness was lost in its translation to film, same with Tomie. Or maybe it comes down to the fact that I've been desensitized by all the gore films I indulge in?

In the end, I much prefer to stick to bold black and white raw graphics, it gives your imagination a workout, in my case everything is ten times more disturbing! The way that books are always better than the movie, a method better enjoyed, fully immersed even if it's a longer process, don't you think?

Now, if only Romance was Born would team up with Ito after marvel (s/s 2012/13), wouldn't that be a world worth living in (I'm sure my best friend would vom)!?

I love my new fluffy jumper. You know that tacky crap your grandma used to knit you scarves from? It's sooooo warm and people just want to give you love constantly. You can also see my new creeper boots Denise got me from HK. Yahooo. I also watched 'rabbit without ears' today, it's really nice, might have sobbed a little.
I've been slaving away over this fashion portfolio assignment where you make up a collection and stuff. You've got to do it all on the computer, on illustrator (!!) which resulted in me yelling and screaming at the monitor a whole heap...but I'll chuck some photos up soon!

I love the MTR

initial wool blazer and grey cardigan, black lips t shirt, aje leather shorts, skeleton hand silver ring, 'alexander wang' frankie creeper boots.

For 500 dollars less, I scored these babies! Obviously (not that you can really tell) they're the jeffrey campbells of the bunch (imitation ones, not actually jc's..) but they're real leather and soooo comfortable. STOKED!

Last night I hung out with a friend I hadn't seen for 4 years plus, we just shopped around and ATE. It's amazing how connected on another plane of reality some people are. When we met, we instantly clicked and even though after writing each other for a while, we got lazy and stopped. So weird that with some people, you don't have to try but you still get on so well. Anyway, we went to a cafe called Modern Toilet, you sit on toilets and you eat out of toilet bowls...it was actually good, we had this kimchi hot pot and really delicious ramen.

Went to Monkok to see the lights and markets. I could have bought like ALL the jewelry I saw - CHUNKY alien rings, skulls with mickey ears, giants feathers with claws...OMGOSH it was heaven. In the end I just got one ring, cause my fingers are too small, and a bunch of insane skull and claw earrings - photos of them soon!
