Why am I posting so much all of the sudden?

So who has watched Jessican Simpson's Price of Beauty Tokyo episode yet?

I just watched it. To be honest, it wasn't as bad as I was expecting. That's not saying a whole hell of a lot because I expected TRAIN WRECK, but it's something. Their attempts at being Geisha were embarrassing. But as far as the Lolita part goes?

...it was fine til Jessica walked down the runway and did the stupid "oooh naughty!" with her hand over her mouth face. Ugh. AND THEN SHE FLASHED EVERYONE HER BLOOMERS. And the outfit really just did not look good on her...and her hair, wtf beehive. Also, when she's talking at the end when she's still in the AP dress, you can see that she either tried to pull it down for cleavage or her boobs are just that big, but cleavage attempts + AP Lolita just really...no. Just no, Jessica Simpson. No. I liked how the SHOW treated Lolita overall, but Jessica herself kinda ruined it for me.

BUT OMG MAKI AND ASUKA DANCED DOWN THE RUNWAY AND IT WAS KIND OF ADORABLE. Except that one of Jessica's crew was like PULLING Asuka and I was just like STOP TOUCHING HER, OH MY GOD YOU'LL GET YOUR AMERICAN GERMS ALL OVER HER CUTENESS. Then I realized that I was crazy.

What do you guys think of the episode?

I saw that! She didn't look half bad in that BPN stuff. I decided not to get my knickers in a knot because I don't take lolita that seriously to begin with.

Also Grorious Nippon deserves a direct shot of some American germs, it would do the country immense amounts of good.

She did look good in the BPN, actually. I tried not to get my knickers in a knot, I really did, but Americans being AMERRRCANS abroad just squicks me for some reason, it's a big pet peeve of mine.

I'd like to give Asuka some of my American germs, lol.

Wow, she makes one FUGLY geisha.

The lolita thing, I think it's just always going to be seen as something sexy to the uninformed. You can't strip a word of sexual connotations once they're there, as was evident by their immediate "naughty!" comments when they saw the dresses. The hair was totally wtf.

The geisha part was AWFUL, but kind of lolarious when the Japanese business men were like ummmm we never want them to serve us again. The sexuality and lolita thing...sigh. I get it, I know it's never gonna go away, but it's just unfortunate that there was an opportunity to explain that it's NOT sexual in this context, and it was missed. Oh well...c'est la vie and all that.

Yeah, I was totally dying over the reaction from the business men. Their faces were like, "EW." LOL
