We got love for all our followers, but I got a little something to say…

Harajuku Lovers is a pretty interesting example of things people do to Asian cultures. Let me just present the image and let it speak for itself:

Okay I guess I can’t let it speak for itself. It’s the ad that harajukulovers.tumblr use for their icon. It reminded me of the first time I saw this ad—I was so confused and almost disturbed. Firstly, they distort the image of Japanese girls, like they all dress that wild all the time and don’t speak EVER (the only noise they make is when they giggle softly). Then they can’t even have a Japanese person sell the products! What?! Okay Gwen’s modeling the Harajuku Lovers line largely after her image obviously, but this is feels like some yellow face days revisited type shit.
