I stumbled upon this really cool fashion blog called Tokyo Fashion Diaries. As you may know, thanks to Gwen Stefani, you already know that Japanese fashion is seriously the coolest ever.

I always wanted to walk around with a fox tail in real, everyday life and UK company Kigu has now made that possible. Depending on your mood for the day, you can walk around with a lizard, squirrel, lemur, dinosaur, lion, or fox tail. Apparently it swishes around like a real damn animal …

That Gaultier! He’s been watching Pee Wee’s Playhouse again! How else can you ‘splain his obsession with turbans and genies as apparent in his resort collection and 5th look above? I do love the 2nd and 3rd outfits – totally flapper- love it. I’m glad he went back to his …
