CUTE 1980S HARAJUKU GIRLS FASHION. FAIRY KEI RAINBOW TUTUS IN MANIA Q, PASTEL CAT T-SHIRTS, BANANA FISH SHOP TOKYO.
Back to the cuteness! In June, I posted photos of Mania Q, an adorable little fairy kei hub on Takeshita Doori (Harajuku). This month, I awwed at the 1980s retro cat tees and pink skirts on display.
Gosh, I love fairy kei. The next time you’re having a dreary day, why not put on a Care Bears or kitty t-shirt, pastel foofy tutu and giant pearl necklace? Instant sunshine!
The faded rainbow tutus were my favorite. You could probably make one yourself or even try dying a petticoat in soft colors. (Remember the skirt in this post?)
What also caught my eye in Harajuku? This “stairway to nothing” (the brand names on the steps are promising, but lead to nowhere. I believe the shop closed down a while ago). And Banana Fish consistently scores in the cute fashion arena. I saw new versions of my ridiculous ghost dress and kitty scarf.
Have you climbed up on the Fairy Kei rainbow-brite rocket yet?
Off to WASHINGTON DC! I hope to see you at my Cute Yummy Time book signing; info below. There will be free cupcakes from Georgetown Cupcake!

ANIMEGAO DOLLERS IN COSPLAY MASKS & BODYSUITS, ALIEN S&M SUSPENSION SHOW, HENTAI & FETISH OUTFITS IN TOKYO JAPAN.
My head was spinning at Department H. So many fun fetishes and costumes in a tiny Uguisidani venue!
“Dollers” sat in one corner, in full bodysuits and anime girl masks, pawing demurely and wordlessly at each other.
This entwined couple was quite the sight. They reminded me of a yin/yang: black and white bodysuits that completely concealed their faces.
The S&M show was a cheeseball riot. An alien toddled out, moving his claws up and down. A scantily-clad person seduced him… but when the dominatrix found out, he/she was tied up and severely flogged. Meanwhile, a guy in a black mask totted in the background, waving a crow’s wings up and down. Huh?
I left before the suspension show (where people hang in the air via hooks that go through their backs) — but not before glimpsing this blow-up outfit of two poodles doing the nasty. What a trip! What a night!
