Gwen Stefani's Harajuku girls have been getting a lot of attention lately, and I have to say that I am confused. I like Gwen Stefani, she's allright. She's very stylish, has a nice voice and a flat stomach. She is a rock star and quite good at it.
Now she has 4 things all together, the Harajuku Girls. I want to like them, and I want to think that they are great, but I am not sure if I can. I mean, racial sterotypes are really cute sometimes, and I don't want to bum everybody out by pointing out the minstrel show.
I think it is totally acceptable to enjoy the Harajuku girls because there are not that many other Asian people in the media and we have to take what we can get. Amos n' Andy had lots of fans didn't they?
At least it is a measure of visibility, which is much better than invisibility. Even though to me, a Japanese schoolgirl uniform is kind of like blackface, I am just in acceptance over it because something is better than nothing.
An ugly picture is better than a blank space, and it means one day we will have another display at the Museum of Asian Invisibilty, that groups of children will crowd around in disbelief, because once upon a time, we weren't there.

This just goes to show, if you look hard enough you can find something to offend you.
Looking for ways to be offended.
"The girls are her METAPHORICAL muses, you fat stupid lesbian shrew."
So, tell us how you really feel? :)
Ah yes.
The Japanese are going to give a damn about what a Korean Lesbian has to say about their culture.
Maybe not.
I'm offended by Margaret Cho. I don't know anything about Harajuku Girls, but they must be something to celebrate if this sow doesn't like them.
she isn't fat anymore. Last time I saw her she had lost a lot of weight. No I didn't go to her less than humorous show. She was on TV. Yes, I turned the channel.

"She's very stylish, has a nice voice and a flat stomach."
And there Margaret exposes her real problem with Stefani. The uniforms are just a means of attack.
Yeah, now she just looks bloated.
I think the Harajuko girls are hot!
Is this the same fat lesbian who claims to be mistaken for Lucy Liu in her 10/27/05 blog entry?
B-List nut job... pay no attention.
