yup. and then i think (this is going to be hard for me explaining in englishuuh ) that vk isnt AS popular for us mortalt beings to wear as lets say, lolita fashon is. (just take a look around maf ) leading off to not having as many "references", "how-to" n, ah.. don't want to say "rules", but i think i might go with that to get my point across.. uhm, ah. leading up to ppl not taking it as bloody-hardcore-serious as some amazing "spokepersons" for, ah, i'm going with this example again: lolita fashion. with the lolita fashion, i mean - you go and pick out socks or just hairclips/bands..thingys.. for just that ONE outfit, paying attention to every small detail which gonna get the whole thing to come together in the end, and (most often?) staying true to both the lolita fashion in general, as well as the sub-genre (be it kuro, sweet or whatever).

i agree with you, misfit mosher. i've also seen non asians pull it off (not many though, not saying that i've seen alot of non bandmemberASIANS vk-style that rocked my world either.. sometimes not even asian bandmembers vk XDD') with some serious OHHAWTDANG!- and every single one that I'VE seen have paid attention to detail and staying true to that ONE sub-genre of vk, or just.. not grabbing everything and all odd in their SCENE/emo-closet putting it together with something stolen from their dads 80's glamrock wardrobe..

vk is like every other fashion, i think. you've got to get down with it and really take some serious notice of detail and not underestimate the fashion. i mean, in my mind. a great vk-style is as hard to get right as a really awsome decora-outfit.
