CinnamonStar Posted May 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 As announced before, I'm taking a break from the YCM Weekly. I can still update the thread and keep an eye on it, as well as do some extra articles incase someone falls out. (Also, posting issues during the last days that some people seemed to have, but it seems to work now.>.>) I'm not really part of the cast anymore at this point, so not sure how much my opinion matters. But if you guys want to make it weekly at last, I would recommend to add a "main cast" and "side cast" system (which was mentioned before and Black suggested it again). I would also recommend to move Garazza (for obvious reasons) and Dharc (beause real-life issues) to "side cast" (or possibly take other actions). Not wanting to be rude, but I agree with what Black said.=/ Again, I could still be a side cast/freelancer for the next issues and basically give you an article incase something isn't handed in and you have a hole somewhere. They will mainly be light-hearted/casual articles, since I'm...not going to write political essays for this. And updated the thread with the new members, tell me if I missed someone.=S Stuff for this/last week: [size=3][spoiler=member hunt]Alright, since people were having a hard time next week, we decided to take the YCM riddles down a few notches.[/size] [size=3]- This member joined in 2010 and returned from a hiatus not too long ago.[/size] [size=3]- This member is male and older than the majority of the site (milfs FTW!).[/size] [size=3]- He used to be very popular before his hiatus.[/size] [size=3]- Name is based on Yugioh-something.[/size] [size=3]- He posts in CC, as well as (sort of) in Your Deck, Anime and Video Games.[/size] [size=3][/spoiler][/size] [size=3][spoiler=Mods and rage faces (replacement for "worst aspects of K-Pop)][/size] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Well, there was this idea of relating the YCM mods to rage faces and this is what some of us came up with.

[/font] [/spoiler] [size=3][spoiler=Style of the Week][/size] [color=#cc0033][size=5]Random Bit of the Week – Style of the Week[/size][/color] [size=3]Well, I decided to put this down as “random bit of the week” for future users, since not sure if everyone would like to write about cute girl clothes.:’D So out of food, websites, games and other things possible in the world, I decided to review a Japanese fashion snapshot/magazine pic here, since this is what I’m good at. And we should all focus on our strengths and bring them in somehow, right?:3[/size] [img]http://i50.tinypic.com/1583xgp.jpg[/img] [size=3]So, the style I’d like to review this week is the one here in the middle. The model is a shopstaff from a Rock-oriented shop in Shibuya and the picture is from their website (although not exactly recent :’3). I picked it because…well one of THE big trends worldwide is pastel colours and while I’m quite fond of them, I felt like reviewing…something else.D=[/size] [size=3]So what is she wearing? The colour scheme relies essentially on a black-red combination, but what really caught my attention were the asymmetrical details and how she balanced them. First of, the hair (obviously not-so-Japanese hair and probably a wig, since quite a lot of Shibuya- and Harajuku-based models seem to wear them) is curled towards the bottom part and divided a little towards the side. The huge black bow, while something I think looks ridiculous 90% of the time in that size, looks surprisingly good here and is slightly worn towards the side with the larger amount of hair. Maybe it’s also the curls that help it, but at least it doesn’t look off here at all IMO.[/size] [size=3]I also loved how the asymmetrical shirt was balanced by the arm accessories. The red skirt and collar balance the outfit out in order to be not all black and while I am generally not a fan of looks like…a plastic cross, or of spike accessories, it doesn’t seem off. Sadly, we can’t see the print of the shirt, although I can imagine it to be a plain motive in red. I am not really a fan of the tights here and think she could’ve used overknees like the girl on the right is wearing or maybe with a motive other than large roses.[/size] [size=3]But overall, me gusta a lot! This is really a great and cute style to go out on the weekends and I love how she thought it out so well. Nothing looks out of place – not even large tulle bows or pieces that would look weird on their own. This is really what I like about some Japanese street fashions in general and about this particular brand. In fact, tutuHA and fernopaa (the brand this girl models for) sell a lot of pieces that look like carnival costumes AT MOST, ranging from the Kyary-insired hat you see in the background to policemen hats. Yet, you often see the shop staff coordinating them in a way that doesn’t really remind of a fetish carnival costume party anymore. Of course not what most people would wear in their everyday lives, but as I said, I’m really loving this for a night out.:3 It’s cute, yet with an edge and still Rock-oriented without being all about “LOOK AT ME, HOW HARDCORE”.[/size] [size=3](Should still be noted however that she’s a staff member who has the time and money resources to get her hair, clothes and overall look done everyday and that she doesn’t represent the average working/studying Japanese girl at all.)[/size] [size=3]Now if you want to mimic this look, but don’t really have the money to import something from a Shibuya-centered brand, it’s going to be a bit harder, since the shirt makes half of the look.D= In terms of style, this girl is a Rokku Gyaru (Rock Gal) and the hair and make-up are really supposed you should look up if you care about it. Finding red frilly skirts, large necklaces, tights, Doc Martens (I THINK ?), arm warmers and even large tulle headbows isn’t going to be hard and you may find them for a lot cheaper than for how Ami got them. But the shirt is something you can either be lucky to find or something you should sew/change around yourself. Unless you want to leave the asymmetry part out and just go for a regular black printed shirt, which works too.=D But I like trying to make out good outfits for cheap, so I guess this is something that’s POSSIBLE to do on your own without the same ressources, but that may be harder to pull off exactly like her. Again, it’s really well-thoughtout, but if you want to go for something simler, I’d suggest the girl on the right of the picture (whose style I liked to, but had less to say about).[/size] [size=3]Alright, that’s all, hope you enjoyed my silly fashion musings.x3[/spoiler][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But after editing 32 minutes of video down to below 15, I was perfectly fine NOT redoing the audio. For the real thing, Audio will be louder.

Kazooie Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 So, um... Just dropping in to say that since Black was worried about the issue being kinda short compared to the last ones, I told him if he absolutely had to he could run the article. He says he may or may not, it all depends on how much stuff he gets.
