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.
