We are RAAOUR. What does this stand for? Like tootsie roll pops, the world may never know.
For some reason, we may also be known as Our Raa. Or Aurora. Or Or Aura. Whatever floats our anagram-producing boats.
(By the way, the first post was totally legit.)
Ray and I are friends in case no one picked that up (like anyone is reading this), and we are unimaginable levels of snarky, especially when it comes to fashion. And we take our Japanese pop with a side of serious, xthnx. So beware.
By the way, Ray, I took out GFY and KMC's links. Because if anyone comes to us for content, it will be credited as our content. Because we are blog dictators AHAHA.

An Internal Memo (One that rhymes)
Dear Ray,
You are Ray,
And that is how you will stay.
There is no other name for you to say.
I'm sorry that I'm such a blog dictator,
But your last post needed a deflator,
By the way, there's not a lot of rhymes for 'dictator', which is what you'll learn sooner or later

The Aims and Goals of This Blog
RAAOUR: (n) Ray and Alison Outfitter Urban Revolution; a place to rant about fashion, Japanese music, and other such random coolness.
see also: Our Raa
I, Snapfish (aka Ray), will now commence with an official post. (Did you really think the last one was legit? Puh-lease) So basically, fashion today is dictated at the sole discretion of celebrities. Now, not to tarnish your perfect image of them, but they don't always have the best fashion sense. (read: almost never) And, instead of mindlessly following what they decide "looks good", I propose that we all should take a good look at what looks good and what doesn't, in order to save everyone's skin. Superb examples of bad fashion choices can be found at Go Fug Yourself, one of our favorites.
Aaaannndd since I really don't have much to say about that particular topic, I'm going to discuss J-pop. A shortening of "Japanese pop", J-pop has its roots in Western pop, but has now transformed into its own art form. Ranging from bubblegummy serenades from singers such as Tommy February6 and Hamasaki Ayumi, to the hip-hop undertones in Utada Hikaru's music, to even screeching rock ballads by Shiina Ringo, J-pop's diversity certainly can never leave one bored.
