GOTHLOLI OF THE WEEK #44: MELODIE.
† Name/URL: Melodie.
† Age: 24
† Location: Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
† How were you introduced to Gothic Lolita fashion?
I started dressing as a girl full time in summer 2007; didn’t take long after that to get my hand on my first goth loli outfit. I’ve always seen those kind of clothes via anime or pictures on the net and really fell in love with the cuteness.
† What do you find appealing about GL style and culture?
Like I said the cuteness is the big part why I love that but just to refuse to be usual might be another reason.
† What are your favorite GL clothing brands?
I dont have a particular brand but I really like my last goth loli maid dress from Candy Fruit^^
† Any other comments?
Live your dream, show who you really are and peace everyone!

HANAKENGO AND SHOSHINZ: COMEDY AND DANCE AT TOKYO DECANDANCE.
How can I begin to describe Hanakengo? They’re white, and lumpy, and have turds on their heads, and bounce about in a coked-up dance.
And did I mention that they’re wicked awesome? The Japanese duo (made up of female Hana and male Kengo) recently performed at the Montreal Fringe Festival… and utterly baffled the French-Canadians. Hanakengo’s moves are an interplanetary spin on para para, avantgarde, and childish glee. No wonder they often headline at Tokyo Decadance, the club night that draws in many Goth Lolis.
As if these two aren’t bizarre enough on their own… Hanakengo has acquired partners in crime, two clown-faced meidos known as Shoshinz. (The photo above made me spit out my drink – can you imagine coming across these four sipping cappuccinos? ) According to their MySpace, “Shoshinz” is anglicized Japanese for “shy, timid people” – “but Shoshinz are maids who are subservient to nothing and no-one.” Their exaggerated song/dance/stage antics are cheeky and quite original.
Surrealist comedy – a genre that tickles me to no end. I leave you with Hanakengo’s hilarious e-mail interview with the Montreal Mirror:
†Mirror: How would you describe a Hanakengo performance?
†Hanakengo: PoPPooooo!!!! Perrapome kemuni po!!! Hanakengo take you into a somewere sometime!!!! That PIYO PIYO PIyoYO!!!! You see, Hanakengo enjoy living too much!!

†M: Hanakengo has performed many places. What was the most interesting?
†H: We like street!! All kind of people can see us!!! We want show, irrespective of age or sex.
†M: Is Hanakengo a virus? Is the Hanakengo virus dangerous?
†H: Fu Fu fu fufufu POOOO!! …DANGEROUS!!!! Please watch!!!
†M: Do Hanakengo actually eat people’s brains? If so, when you eat a stupid person’s brain, are you still hungry afterwards?
