Really pumped up for their US tour this year!

I caved in. Made a shirt design. yawn

I'm just getting into this band, and I like what I hear. Alexi Laiho is talented and quite a cutie<3

I feel that I've grown up a lot in the last few months. I'm almost finished with high school, and am ready to start the next chapter in my life at my dream college.
A lot of fickle things I used to obsess over no longer matter to me. They still remain a part of my life but now they can't hurt me anymore. Because of this I feel smarter, better and happier.
 
The woman in this set is blooming from flowers, and even though it seems dark is surrounding her, she looks at a shining light, stretching for it.
I feel good knowing I changed for the better :)

The mori girls (森ガール) belong to a subculture which began in Japan. 'Mori' means forest in Japanese, and if you're looking for the simplest description of mori girls, they are girls who look like they live in the forest. Indeed, the unique appearance of the mori girls is what attracts most people to join in their adventures.
 
Mori girls are often seen in loose dresses or smocks, vintage blouses, puffed sleeves, A-line skirts tights and leggings and many-layered ensembles. They delight in beautiful fabrics and textures, preferring natural to synthetic materials, and are impartial to autumnal shades reminiscent of forest glades such as deep reds, greens, blues and browns. They keep warm with knits and furs in winter, and ponchos and leather boleros in the fall.
The childlike nature of mori girls sets them apart from the more aggressive and carnivorous women in the city. They shun stiletto heels for flat shoes and prefer to keep their fingernails short and skin fair. Mori girls are also drawn to animal, candy, checked, floral, vintage or polka-dotted prints. However, they avoid looking overly cute. They wear little makeup, but when they do use it some like to draw pick circles in the centre of their cheeks as a homage to the dolls they played with when they were younger. While every mori girl is a child at heart, they are endlessly fascinated by objects with a history. Vintage items such as pocket watches, small gold pendants and analogue cameras captivate mori girls.
 
Mori girls are also characterised by certain attitudes to life. While most mori girls really live in the city, they maintain a pace of life that may be considered slow by others, preferring to stop and savour the tiny delights that many deem insignificant. Mori girls like to explore old neighbourhoods, discover hole-in-the-wall shops and read in cafes. Many mori girls enjoy expressing their creativity, never mind if nobody will see or applaud their efforts, for instance through photography or journalling. Scandinavia is for many mori girls a dream destination, and Scandinavian design influences often appear in mori girls’ style.
 
In her own quiet way, the mori girl is an individualist. She does not care that the world may live differently from her. She lives consciously and chooses her own lifestyle. The mori girl often looks whimsical or quirky. When she shops, she buys something based on how it makes her feel, rather than on how fashionable or expensive it will appear to others. While she may enjoy the company of others, the mori girl loves her own company and indeed has embarked on many of her most memorable adventures alone. - Natural Beauty and Forest Fashion

There are some kinds of dolly style.
This style with its suggestion of the middle ages Europe or genuine old dress is like a fashion of an antique doll.
 
Lolita fashion has also the atmosphere of Europe of the middle ages, however its princess look is arranged modishly and Japanesquely.
Meanwhile, Dolly fashion is just a style of just a girl who was in Europe at that time.
This is a difference of Lolita fashion and Dolly fashion.
 
The feature of the Dolly fashion is to dress used clothing without giving the arrangement.
Occasionally, these have holes or a lot of wear and tear.
However, people who like this fashion appreciate those damages as the goodness of antiquity.
Rather, they insist that it be used clothes.
 
The most of antique dresses was handmade.
Handmade clothes often had the delicate workmanship or peculiar texture, and also have something extra, which are rarity value, historic clothes.
For Dolly fashion fan, those are not just used clothes. They have pleasure to own those clothes.
 
The master of Dolly fashion fan also expresses the mystique and scary of an antique doll’s clothes.
People called “Mori (forest) girl”, who seem to exist in forest, also prefer this fashion.
Dolly fashion is becoming increasingly popular. - Tokyo New Tribe

In Japan, Fetish has a sexual nuance.
Fetish fashion has various erotic and grotesque styles including SM and bondage-look.
 
For example, “Material Fetish Fashion”, people having a fetish for materials prefer using rubber, leather, PVC (polyvinyl chloride) or enamel for their clothes.
And there are also other fetish fashions of “fetish of uniform or specific clothes” or “fetish of specific parts of body” and so on.
 
“Fetish Fashion” appeared in late 1980’s, and then it became popular at the club events in Japan from 2000.
There is the event “TORTURE GARDEN” having the longest history with the fetish fashion event in England. In Japan, we have the same event named “Torture Garden Japan” which has been held from 2001. It can be said that this event made a chance to spread the fetish fashion to Japan. Now, we have another fetish event named “Japan Fetish Ball”.
In those days, people in soft fetish fashion are seen at underground parties or events too.
 
"Givenchy", "Yves saint Laurent", and "Ann Demeulemeester" revealed their new collection taking in some elements of fetish fashion at 2009-2010 Autumn and Winter Paris Collection. - Tokyo New Tribe
