I like Japanese fashion magazines and I really like having Gothic & Lolita Bibles for a few reasons. I love fashion, I love Lolita, and I really like getting freebies. I used to have a cute little shop that I would visit so I could buy the latest Cutie magazine and get the free goody that came with it. I got a free purse, phone charm, mirror, hair tie, kitty bag, and other random fun things. Now when I want any of the Japanese magazines I have to order them on-line but they cost so much new that I buy them used. I got together most of them to share with you, take a peek.
CUTIE
This Cutie is a special one to me. It is an older one from 2001 and it was given to me by a good friend from Japan when I was in community college.
KERA
I really like KERA. There are always ads for Baby and AP along with other brands. It is nice to see their layouts and new prints. They tend to be a bit more on the punk side which is just super fun to me.
Random Things
The egg magazine came from a friend in Japan who knows that I love Japanese fashion. The Junie was also from the college friend in 2001. Lastly, the two PHAIDON books that highlight street fashion and Lolita.
Zipper
If any of you have read Paradise Kiss you will recognized Zipper as the magazine that Miwako's big sisters clothing brand "Happy Berry" is in.
GOTHIC & LOLITA BIBLES
These are fun to look at, great for inspiration and ideas, and the pride of my collection (other than the old Cutie mag).
