OMG! I thought I was the only one who felt inadequacy in the face of crafy-perfection! This is why I <3 Jezebel.

@quickbird: I agree as well. As much as I have a bone to pick with the hipster look and American Apparel - for LA it is nice to see a flat chested girl with mundane but feminine clothes and big cheesy glasses being the new hot - as opposed to a Pam Anderson.

Really ridiculous to think this is where some people will get their sole information about Japanese fashion... trying to pin that shit down is like calculus.

Knowing that these people are breeding makes me want to have kids just to balance out the stupid. I would like to see these people survive in the real world... that is all.

@Gnatalby: If they see the parallels why don't they do more to help the genocide of Palestinians? Just sayin'...

@gibbler: If someone's psyche is devastated by this photo shoot, than maybe they should be kept away from all media (not something I am against at all anyway).

@pmarble: I second that. Maybe it's true that we (collectively) are our own worse enemies...

@nite_brite: Agreed... she looks better than I've ever seen her...

Am I high or does Lady Gaga look exactly the same? (Except the hair of course)

All my groups of friends are very into tattoos, I have a hard time of thinking of anyone within those groups without a tattoo, and every man I've dated has coincidentally had at least one, usually sleeves.
