Cos Play

Ok, so i was thinking about other things that should be on the blog. And i remembered our trip to Tokyo in January.

One the things i really wanted to see in Japan was Cos Play. It's when the Japanese young people dress up in really weird outfits and hang around in a part of Tokyo called Harajuku. It's always an entertaining place to people watch.

I guess the reason they do it is to escape the 'normal' style of their lives. They wear uniforms all their lives, in school and then when they start working, suits, suits, suits! so to dress up like a gothic Bo Peep, or Victorian governess is a bit of escape and rebellion. It's a good idea and it doesn't hurt anyone, it's just dress up! That's my theory anyway.

So here's to the brave and the bizzare!

Gambatte Harajuku girls!
